Probably the Hasso-Plattner Institute: http://hpi.de/en.html

Hard to get in there and i think the deadline just passed.

It is "IT Systems Engineering" not directly CS.


Thanks! A lot of great advice.

I'm really good at public speaking. This is one of my greatest strength so it is a no brainer how to do a presentation where i communicate my vision. But i never had to "close a deal". That is where i'm struggling. So how much does it divide from that?

Can you recommend any online resources?


Number one tip to close the deal: ask directly to close the deal. Are you ready to sign now?


How does it compare to blackfire.io or NewRelic?


It has some unique features:

- auto-discovery of applications/environments without any manual configuration

- visualisation of the full stack (end-to-end from webUI to cloud infrastructure)

- root cause analysis of problems: what previously took devs/ops hours - figuring out bottleneckes or broken services / infrastructure - works out of the box in seconds.

Excuse me but since when is it more weight and less repetitions that lead to strength? It is the other way around. Less weight, more repititions -> strength. A lot of weight, less repetitions -> size gains.


True. Also i could change the 2-6 8-12 repetitions to 10-12 or 15! :)


What a great way to get over it


Wouldn't that just result in duplicate content?


Are you talking about it from an SEO perspective?

If it points back to the original Google recognizes the original for SEO purposes.


E.g. if it is the first blogpost you made. Chance are higher on medium to get it spread. Don't you think?


I think it's more likely to get an insignificant amount of readers from medium, especially on a recurring basis. They don't publish page views on posts but it's an open platform, the median post is going to get nothing but what you provide yourself.

You may end up marketing medium to market your blog to market your site which is a lot of steps for someone to take to become your user.


I actually decided to test this hypothesis if you're still around - so far the results are 80 visitors reaching my post via medium, 5620 via my own efforts.


And a second article I didn't try to promote anywhere, which got no views at all lol. It's pretty much BYO traffic.


This page does not work properly. Also, it simply is too slow.


Good decision.


I'm really excited to see this shiny new PHP version running on our servers. There are a lot of new features: http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.new-features.php and especially huge performance advantages according php.net ("Improved performance: PHP 7 is up to twice as fast as PHP 5.6")

Frameworks like Laravel already support PHP7 :)


Ya, I am expected to see the huge performance improvement. But not sure whether it's OK to deploy it on production environment at the moment.
