I've used C* (36 nodes/20Tb) and it was pleasure to manage it even in the early versions. At the time of picking the db (3 years ago) Riak was slower as they only had http available so C* won by a large margin.

One case I thought Riak can be a good choice for is for quick prototyping / interacting directly from web clients (as it has neat http API).

I do.

My technical focus: Backend technologies / Multithreading / Java Also I'm very much into sales / marketing lately.

I'd point to a few examples of pull requests which were merged into OSS projects already and explained what authors generally went through.

I visualize graphs sometimes or draw them on paper for particularly tricky pieces of code.

I was subvocalizing things to remember to do before learning to use task tracking software for that.

You might want to benchmark yourself e.g. with http://www.readingsoft.com/ (I ranked 398 wpm and I know my bottleneck is eye movements)

Also I think code reading speed is only a part of a larger process (e.g. code review or making a fix). For both of these external tools are available making reading speed not as important (iterative development / unit tests for fixing + static code analysis tools for reviews)

Here's a good article on Traction (which promotes the book with the same title and the book is Amazing!) https://medium.com/swlh/the-19-channels-you-can-use-to-get-t...

Also it depends on which kind of project is that, are you targeting specific people? Can you tell a bit more about it?

I'm always curious what was the budget for such things :)
