    Interview Questions: Two Bowling Balls started by Jesse Farmer
    This post is the first in a series I’m calling “interview questions,” where I discuss interview questions I’ve been handed in my time out here in the Bay Area. Since I’m an engineer by trade most of the questions relate directly to technical topics. I’ll also cover general interview strategies and advice — […]
    Interview Questions: Database Indexes started by Jesse Farmer
    Continuing my series on interview questions, I’m going to spend some time covering ops and sysadmin questions. Today we’ll start with databases.
    The Question

    Web 2.0 and Two-sided Markets started by Jesse Farmer
    Last Friday Andrew Chen wrote a great article about ad-supported websites. His thesis boils down to the following snippet.
    The key thing here is: The users of your website are not really your customers.

    Instead, the entire process of gathering eyeballs is just to sell to your ACTUAL customers, who are the ad agencies and advertisers. […]
