"The Power Broker" by Robert Caro?

Will you marry me? This is why I love Hacker News.

Perhaps more digestible as a series of blog posts, it would be interesting to read the stories of several startups as to how their collection and use of data changed over time (from initial prototype through current time).

Interesting idea. If this takes off, I feel like it'll end up in every developer's toolbox. Nicely done guys, looking forward to seeing the product!

Erlang sounds really interesting! Great compilation of resources.
