Building a Data Science Team at a Startup - An Engineering Perspective
A few observations from spending the last few years building a data science team at a startup, from the perspective of an engineering manager: You have no idea what your data science team is going to do.

Lessons Learned while Introducing a New Programming Language
I've used a lot of languages (professionally) over the years: (off the top of my head) Cold Fusion, HTML, Javascript, php, SQL, CSS, ASP(classic & .net), C#, Ruby, Flex, Java, & Clojure.

test/test_helper.rb is a great idea Rails brought to the Ruby world as a place for functionality that helps you write better tests.
