Your experience really resonates with me. I too suffer from occasional panic attacks. What techniques do you use to suppress them?

I'm curious as well...and while I'm at it do you store the analytics in a db?

I agree. I'm a huge proponent on giving it a try and seeing where you are from just doing it.

Exactly as painful as it might seem. Automated tests can only get you so far. Sometimes you just have to suck it up and dig into the code base.

Agreed that is why I always walk to work and rarely bring my car.

No you're definitely not the only one. My company uses EC2 for our production environment and I loathe the management interface with a passion. Amazon should definitely hire a UI expert to give that damn thing a face lift.

I'm an interested party as well. As a student of machine learning I would love to learn the techniques you've applied. I'm doing a data mining startup and this would be very helpful.
