I would be interested in a low level comparison of both HipChat/Slack's architecture and technology stack.

This looks pretty interesting. Bonus points for a tiling window manager. Am a bit disappointed in capitalization of directory names tho :(

I'm not much of a "crapistrano" fan. I do admit it filled a necessary void at the time... With that said, the role itself is well written Ansible.

Tests[1][2] could be improved by molecule[3].

Y!'s global CDN is based on this as well.

You do realize IBM has hired the top OpenStack talent that was previously at HP building this public cloud.

I tend to agree. None of these criticisms are from real-world experience. I'm not convinced the author can grow a neck beard yet :P

Also, Kafka guarantees message order, where NSQ does not. This can be dealt with in the client, but something to note.

I like the architecture of Nix, and believe there are many benefits to it's packaging model. However, I am not a huge fan of the syntax[1], and rather use a template engine I am quite familiar with (like jinja).

I'll continue to follow and learn more about Nix, but anxiously awaiting my epiphany.
