At the cost of a little extra indirection, you can organize your code around a series of long-lived objects, each of whom communicates with the other objects in simple, easy-to-understand ways. Good article, this is exactly the reason Im still primarily a PHP developer rather than Ruby or Python. Every change required a server restart.

I admire Costco Wholesale most for bringing innovation in the cost strategy which enables Costco to offer relatively low prices and maintain good profits even during inflation and recession. They pioneered Ruby on Rails, one of the first to advocate remote work, and their customer care is second to none. 22- Costco Wholesale.

Hosting is a necessary cost, but if you find yourself spinning up a second server when you have only a few hundred users, you might ask yourself why a CPU capable of processing billions of operations per second is brought to its knees by a few users submitting forms, placing orders, and communicating with one another. Playing it safe.

On average, as people age they resist adopting new technologies, only doing so slowly and where the benefits compellingly outweigh the time cost and inevitable frustrations. This situation has become sufficiently common that some language projects (Ruby on Rails and Python come to mind) have abandoned upward compatibility.

I could spend that time on Facebook, but at the cost of not writing. During this period, I helped Hewlett-Packard save on the order of ten million dollars a year on customer support costs, roughly a 100x return on my salary. By remaining truly focused on the few most important things, we can be far more effective than we are otherwise.

In looking at these numbers, seeing Cake PHP at 500x slower, Ruby-Rails and Django at 50x slower really surprised me. I'm feeling okay about our choices of frameworks that are slower and will cost more in terms of hosting and managing growth. Several of these are B2B applications with relatively smaller audiences.

Your consultant, in turn, will walk the fine line of giving you the answer you want to hear while raising the scope and cost of the project, possibly even creating milestones along the way, ensuring an ongoing, gainful relationship. The cost of adding too much “scalability” up front is a more complex product, harder to test and maintain.
