It’s not just memorizing the syntactic details of some programming language, or the many functions in some API, but understanding and managing the complexity of the problem you’re trying to solve. Anyone who works in programming has seen the source code for some project evolve from something short, sweet, and clean to a seething mass of bits.

MongoDB started out in 2007 as 10gen, a New York-based company looking to create a Platform as a Service (PaaS) solution. Instead of relational (SQL) databases defined primarily through a hierarchy of related sets via tables and columns, their non-relational structure used a system of collections and documents.

One example is that Netflix launched it’s streaming service in 2007, just at the point when the cost of streaming a movie over the network (which was dropping fast) became less than the cost of shipping a DVD. We’re already seeing the beginning of this direction with conversational programming and operations tooling like DoTheThing.ai

To simulate text messages I have used ~3 billion of reddit comments (10 years from 2007 to 2017), downloaded from pushshift.io.

Build a more scalable, composable, and functional architecture for interconnecting systems and applications. Software today is not typically a single program—something that is executed by an operator or user, producing a result to that person—but rather a service : something that runs for the benefit of its consumers, a provider of value.

My tool does this using /proc/PID/clear_refs and the Referenced value from /proc/PID/smaps, which were added in 2007 by David Rientjes (thanks). For large processes (> 100 Gbytes) this duration of higher latency can last over 1 second, during which this tool is consuming system CPU time. by Jonathan Corbet ([lwn.net] editor).
