New top story on Hacker News: Am I the longest-serving programmer – 57 years and counting?
Am I the longest-serving programmer – 57 years and counting?
58 by genedangelo | 26 comments on Hacker News.
In May of 1963, I started my first full-time job as a computer programmer for Mitchell Engineering Company, a supplier of steel buildings. At Mitchell, I developed programs in Fortran II on an IBM 1620 mostly to improve the efficiency of order processing and fulfillment. Since then, all my jobs for the past 57 years have involved computer programming. I am now a data scientist developing cloud-based big data fraud detection algorithms using machine learning and other advanced analytical technologies. Along the way, I earned a Master’s in Operations Research and a Master’s in Management Science, studied artificial intelligence for 3 years in a Ph.D. program for engineering, and just two years ago I received Graduate Certificates in Big Data Analytics from the schools of business and computer science at a local university (FAU). In addition, I currently hold the designation of Certified Analytics Professional (CAP). At 74, I still have no plans to retire or to stop programming.

Ask HN: Has anybody shipped a web app at scale with 1 DB per account?
31 by bradgessler | 35 comments on Hacker News.
A common way of deploying a web application database at scale is to setup a MySQL or Postgres server, create one table for all customers, and have an account_id or owner_if field and let the application code handle security. This makes it easier to run database migrations and upgrade code per customer all at once. I’m curious if anybody has taken the approach of provisioning one database per account? This means you’d have to run migrations per account and keep track of all the migration versions and statuses somewhere. Additionally, if an application has custom fields or columns, the differences would have to be tracked somehow and name space collisions managed. Has anybody done this? Particularly with Rails? What kinda of tools or processes did you learn when you did it? Would you do it again? What are some interesting trade offs between the two approaches?

Some MVNOs are offering plans as low as $6/mo. The only reason I'm keeping my cell is to make calls. Now I think by switching to a cheaper plan, I can save at least $30/mo. Have you done this? If it's not too much to ask, can you say which plans work better for calls?

Ask HN: Do kids drag your career down?
9 by giantg2 | 6 comments on Hacker News.
It seems that since I had a kid my career is in decline. I am currently working from home, but prior to this I would need to be home at a specific time to watch the kid. This obviously means I have less time to spend at work. Less hours means less dedication in the eyes of management. On a side note, I took parental leave last year and was basically told by a manager friend that it means a lower rating. What is your experience?
