Google Reader | Dmitry Fink
http://www.finik.net/2013/03/24/google-reader
Since Google has shut down the Reader I keep reading in various sources the same idea over and over again. The idea that RSS is an old technology, that it was and is used only by geeks, and that it is obsolete and not needed anymore as one is supposed to get his fix of news through social media (facebook, twitter) and social reading apps like zite, flipboard, etc. What bothers me most is I read these same ideas in blogs of pretty technical people whose opinions I do usually value.

Multiple working folders with single GIT repository | Dmitry Fink
http://www.finik.net/2010/10/24/multiple-working-folders-with-single-git-repository
Multiple working folders with single GIT repository. As much as I love GIT, there are several design decisions that make my everyday work really difficult. One of such design flaws is making the repository and the working folder tightly coupled. It is a serious problem for every developer who is frequently switching between several product/topic branches of the same project. Git gives you two options to deal with this:. Repo/config -description -HEAD -index -hooks -. Repo/refs -branchB -branchC . etc.

NGINX rewrites on Amazon Elastic Beanstalk | Dmitry Fink
http://www.finik.net/2014/10/29/Beanstalk
NGINX rewrites on Amazon Elastic Beanstalk. We are running most of our backend code at Dishero. In a typical auto-scaled ELB setup, we have one elastic load balancer and multiple instances that execute our code. The setup is as follows:. Elastic Load Balancer is the one that is terminating the SSL connection, traffic to our instances is pure HTTP over port 80. You can find out more about setting up SSL certificates on Elastic Beanstalk here. Nginx does not allow nested if statements. But elastic load bal...

hexo | Dmitry Fink
http://www.finik.net/2014/10/29/hexo
Spent the evening setting up a new blog engine as I couldn’t revive the old one. This whole Ruby/Gem/Bundle mess is beyond me, it just never works. So this blog is now running on hexo. I am sure that won’t make me write more, but its Node.JS/NPM based, so at least I will be able to set it up again on a new machine if I suddenly do decide to. What was it I wanted to blog about? I really can’t remember. NGINX rewrites on Amazon Elastic Beanstalk. CTO and Founder of Dishero.

Hello, Octopress! | Dmitry Fink
http://www.finik.net/2012/12/19/hello-octopress
I finally gave in to peer pressure and switched my blog to Octopress. Apparently WordPress is not cool anymore and all the kids forgot php, uninstalled mysql, went back to generating static pages and just outsource all comment management headache to Disqus. Well, I actually did move one. Post, the only technical post I had there, and since the plan for this new blog to be fairly technical, I decided it will be a good start. Wish me luck and lets hope I will actually write. CTO and Founder of Dishero.
