Director of Technology

A software developer since the mid-80's I ran a successful consulting business for 15 years. I have worked for everything startups and international companies that did billions of dollars a quarter in profit.

As a technology consultant I made a career out of finding the next job, learning more about my clients business than they knew and giving them direction to future successes. I have comprehensive experience with both software and hardware development companies.

I have extensive experience as a hiring manager as well, earned from years of experience building, teaching and managing creative Agile Technical teams.

teaching C++ as a first language is like teaching someone how to base jump with a bed sheet!

comment What naming anti-patterns exist?
Read the linked article, and understand what tautology means. Also violates DRY Principals. Do you suffix every concrete class with Class or prefix it with C? No, doesn't make sense, waste of effort, always useless.

your question is contradictory, first you ask for a list, then you ask for conceptual information, which is it???

comment What makes Erlang suitable for cloud applications?
specifically the term "cloud" is nebulous and doesn't mean anything specific, it is marketing speak, you still haven't defined what actually qualifies something as a cloud application. Personally I know what I know what I think it means, I am sure it isn't what you think it means, given the question.

Define "cloud" and we can tell you what you might want to know. The term "cloud" is marketing speak and means something different to each person who uses it.
