• From 15 hours to 15 seconds: reducing a crushing build time
  Songkick's Daniel Lucraft:

  Over the past year we have reduced our website test suite build time by over 99.9%.

  • Build time a year ago: 15 hours.
    Across 15 EC2 build slaves it took “only” 1 hour of real time.
  • Build time today: 15 seconds
    On my laptop.

  That intro alone is worth the price of admission.

• White whiskey is not moonshine, but it may be the new absinthe
  Drew Long, writing at DCFoodies.com:

  White whiskey, then, is simply corn liquor that either never made it in the barrel or spent so little time in it to not matter. Consequently, it’s clear as water, but hot with alcohol, harsh to drink and tastes heavily (and miserably) of sweet corn. All in all, it’s not a very good spirit.

  A friend tells me I need to try white whiskey, and *this* is what I find.
