When you write 500 simultaneous users, do you mean: 1. 500 users making multiple calls across our servers at the same time? 2. 500 users on a single call?

I read it as "they didn't continue long enough to get to the benefits, as we did", i.e, they already reached the diamonds.

1. If you dob't have tests covering code, sure type checks are better than nothing. but if you do, why do you also need type checks?

2. If the tests must be updated whenever the underlying implementation changes it might be testing too much- it's better to test behaviour, not implementation.

Forgot to mention that the youtube video I saw was in english..

the "What Game UX Can Teach Designers about Product Design" article is pretty great too! thank you for sharing!

Someone posted a youtube talk about Game Design that's applicable to general product design...

I remember it was really good, but couldn't find it anymore

RubyMine (IntelliJ Idea for Ruby)

For some reason I couldn't remember how to say Postgres and used "Pos-gststs-something" a few times, so I kept it afterwords :)

Using for paying bills, easier that way.

The whole point of node.js/meteor is that you can share the code between client/server, so you dont have to duplicate anything, and have the access to the "real" model.

If they use different IPs, and normal user request speed, the only way to differentiate is by irregular user usage patterns (too many pages for a session, going bfs instead of dfs etc)

But if they don't hit your server heavily, why do you care?

This is my pet project for lateral thinking riddles lovers-

You couldn't solve this kind of riddles on the net because you need to ask someone yes/no questions to figure out the story :(

So I built this site to have fun, and play with angular.js / real-time (faye)

I think you can hate a language.. you can hate it because you hate yourself, for the things the language make you do.

Coming from a Java background, I used to bang my head on the desk everything I had to write a boilerplate code for anonymous functions/classes.. luckily, there was Intellij IDE to ease the pain.
