cloud computing (Amazon AWS and EC2, etc.) It’s also to the point where the best folks (particularly on the architecture area) seem to all be going independent, working as CTO’s for hire or in similar positions. Build a software-as-a-service web site, even just a dead simple one, using the latest technology.

Those companies, Sun CTO Greg Papadopoulos says, will experience similarly high levels of growth in users, revenue, etc., Think about Amazon’s S3 and EC2 which I have written about before as utility storage and processing for the masses. Red-shift companies tend to be Web 2.0 while blue-shift companies will grow relative to GDP.

Correction: Last week's CTO position at Modcloth is actually a San Francisco opportunity, not Pittsburgh. We have a deep technology stack. Our team dabbles in everything from S3 and EC2 cloud services to SIMD and assembly code. Our team includes 12 top-notch engineers from NVidia, Microsoft, Stanford, Berkeley and Cornell.

In recent years, weve also got great new options all up and down the stack, in particular things like Amazon EC2 and RightScale (none of which would be possible without the free software movement). At the application-stack layer, I see LAMP + Danga as the most common combination.

I was also surprised by the performance improvement on dedicated hardware as compared to EC2 instances of roughly 10x. In looking at these numbers, seeing Cake PHP at 500x slower, Ruby-Rails and Django at 50x slower really surprised me. Several of these are B2B applications with relatively smaller audiences.

At the CTO Group that I organize in Santa Monica, we've had lots of discussions around this. Especially when there are things like: Amazon S3 / EC2 / AWS outage this morning. Amazon EC2 - uses it for natural language processing. Would never put a user request to an EC2 instance. All about end-user requests.
