Once upon a time, in a rabbit outsourcing warren of Bunnylore, there was a young software developer bunny. And as a developer, she has had one very unusual treat: she was obsessed with eliminating all the bugs she can get his forelegs on. So, it is not surprising that her friends called her a “No Bugs” Bunny (or simply “NoBugs”).

Later on, she grew up, so she decided that “Bunny” in her name has became inappropriate (not to mention potential arguments with Warner Brothers), so she has asked all her friends to call her “No Bugs” Bunny. She has made a career as a team lead and software architect, and they lived happily ever after.

MMOG Server-Side. Eternal Linux-vs-Windows Debate

Linux-vs-Windows Armwrestling

Quote:

Each server is only as secure as its admin

Another Quote:

For cheaper servers, the difference between Windows and Linux can eat as much as 50% of the server rental price (though for those servers which are more or less optimal price-performance-wise observed difference was closer to 20-30%).

Front-End Servers as an Offensive Line

Quote:

[about Round-Robin DNS] one of these returned IPs can get cached by a Big Fat DNS server, and then get distributed to many thousands of clients

Another Quote:

As a rule of thumb, Front-End Servers are a Good Thing™

Server-Side MMO Architecture. Naïve, Web-Based, and Classical Deployment Architectures

Building from servers

Quote:

If you disrupt the game-event-currently-in-progress for more than 0.5-2 minutes, for almost-any synchronous multi-player game you won't be able to get the same players back, and will need to rollback the game event anyway.

Another Quote:

However, keep in mind, that all fall-tolerant solutions are complicated, costly, and for the games realm I generally consider them as an over-engineering (even by my standards).

Quote:

To have a good concurrency model, it is not strictly necessary to program in Erlang

Another Quote:

Most of developers agree that FSM-based programming is beneficial in the medium- to long-run.
