"Titanic effect" - No captain gets credit for preventing a disaster!

Can you provide some more context on this?

AWS is a good example of this

And the inspiration behind Indira canteens :)

This article by Steve Sinofsky provides a broader framework to understand Enterprise sales.

The word 'architecture' formally means "the art or practice of designing structures". So a 'Software Architect' is one who identifies (or defines) the structure of a software system based on various rules and constraints. In this context, the design of the structure could be the identification (or definition) of various components that make the system and how they interact with one another to achieve the intended result.

Would be great if you could share them here as well.

I agree. I am the original poster and I expanded the title to make it more clear. But looks like the mods don't see it that way.

After reading the article, even I found the title tongue in cheek. That said, GP has explicitly called out (quiet well) what he thought was the underlying lesson and I am thankful for that.

A true Slumdog millionaire. Not quiet the same, as she comes from a wealthy family. She was running away from the social pressure of getting married and ended up with what followed. [NB: Nothing to take away from what she achieved, I am just responding to the term Slumdog Millionaire used in this context]

In his(her?) own words: http://harthur.wordpress.com/2011/06/06/replace/

Would we interpret death differently if it happened "naturally" (as in old age)? [NB: This is a genuine thought that came to me after I read this (poignant) essay and I hope I am not being insensitive]

I am posting this article, which is from one of the leading Indian dailies, in order to better understand some of the issues raised in this article - especially from HNers in the US with farming experience. BTW, the Indian parliament is currently holding discussions on allowing direct foreign investment in multi-brand retail stores (such as WalMart)

The tweet was not even about the finance minister (Mr. Chidambaram) but about the finance minister's son (Karthi Chidambaram)

FWIW, here is the HN link http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=495336

Cool. BTW, is there a reason for naming the file "isullshit_spiders.py" and not as "isbullshit_spiders.py"? :)

Came here to say the same thing (including trying MSFT) :)

Also, the URL "http://xhv51cz0.nodesocket.com/quote-stream/MSFT/ works but "http://xhv51cz0.nodesocket.com/quote-stream/MSFT does not (without "/" in the end)

Did you also notice Tweeter in that report?

Yup. I had a similar experience couple of days back when FB listed three of my albums and correctly predicted the place names for confirmation. I was shocked when it _correctly_ predicted the location of one of my private albums which is an obscure town in southern India.

Given that most of my pictures were taken with cameras with no geo identification mechanism, I can only conclude that they identify the location based on any comments and similar photos available in _my_ network.

Nobody said Yammer said publicly announces that scala doesn't suit them.

Actually, someone did. The original post that `leaked` this email says something to that effect http://blog.joda.org/2011/11/real-life-scala-feedback-from-y...

It is not based on the 2.0-beta version, but this link might help: http://engineering.linkedin.com/34/play-framework-and-async-...

"The Hindu", which is the only daily I find professional, without bias to any ideology/organisation

'The Hindu' is generally considered pro-CPM (Communist Party) hereabouts (South India).

Does anyone have a PDF copy of this? The slideshare download is broken for this presentation.

Whenever a question on salary negotiation appears on HN, I am reminded of this old comment from mahmud : http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1475678

Steve, if you are reading this, any chance you can throw some light on the core skills a generalist engineer ought to know?

Thanks for the summary and sorry to nitpick. But, in point 9, did you mean "A players hire A players"?
