As it turned out , the enhanced algorithms “did not seem to justify the engineering effort needed to bring them into a production environment.”. Increasingly powerful systems cracked open the door for real-time predictive analytics. A world of real-time predictions. For some, the age of “real-time” predictive analytics is here.

I just got an email asking about exactly this: I''m with a new company that needs some software built, but doesn''t need (or have the resources for) a large staff of software developers. Do you have some complexity around algorithms, database? What I didn''t discuss was how you should go about selecting the right company.

Simple MVPs get built with less the 3 Programmer Months worth of effort (that's 3 months a single programmer working full-time). We needed the matching algorithm. If you do not break it down into small pieces, its hard to make progress with part-time resources, freelancers, etc. eHarmony for me fell into that camp.

Today's post is brought to you by my friend, Paul Blumenfeld , a recruiter who is one of the most thoughtful people I know when it comes to hiring processes. Many hiring managers write a job spec that is heavy on wishes and low on real needs. I also ask hiring managers to be open-minded about their must-haves. Like Pornography?

But by the time I was building my first websites for commercial use , PHP had taken over. Since then, PHP (as part of the LAMP stack ) has really been the dominant development platform, at least in the free software and startup worlds. These days, successful programming is as much about processing data as creating algorithms.
