Use Gearman for queuing your data instead of a CRON job.

First learn about version control in general, then get your hands dirty with subversion or git

You should also try nginx instead of Apache.

The first bottleneck you'll have with the DB layer. Use caching a lot like Memcache and APC.

Keep read/write operations in the code separate so later on you can set up a Master - Slave architecture for your DB. For ex. if you don't keep track of DB connection for reads and writes then later on when you want to separate write operations to another database you'll have to modify your code.

Look at haproxy for the DB load balancer.

Be careful about different DB engine particularities, like between MySQL and Oracle or MSSQL

Different SQL syntax, extra statements / parameters

Make sure your SQL statements work on every DB engine you will be using.

In this case an antivirus won't help you, although it's good to install one.

ClamAV is pretty good and R-fx Networks' linux malware detect (LMD) is also good.

Also, for your exploit use this nifty PHP script which scans your files for the most common exploits: http://www.php-beginners.com/solve-wordpress-malware-script-attack-fix.html

We use git on a private server. It's fairly easy to setup, especially for few developers you can use UNIX users for authentication and SSH for the transport protocol

Exceptions firstly help you to organize your code better and respect OOP principles.

Different classes of exceptions can be thrown, re-thrown and caught, it all depends on where do you want to handle the exception.

Unlike errors, some exceptions are recoverable such as a database connection is not connecting to the host, you can catch this exception and try to connect again.

Exceptions should only be used when an error occurs, or some kind of exceptional case in your runtime.

Also, it's better to use them in contrast to if statements, because it creates much more concise code and you can't throw the error further from an if statement.

You have valid points, but if you're an experienced developer you'll know that a time will come when you will face a problem that no framework, patterns or best practice will help you solve.

In my perspective to learn a framework before you learn the actual programming language in which it was created is like jumping out of a plane without parachute.

I think you should first learn the basics of PHP and then get dirty with a framework.

Trust me, you'll be better off this way...

It's the same with me...

I feel fine in my cocoon, thank you very much :)

Let me introduce Andrei Alexandrescu andralex, he is an avid Reddit user :)

You can ask him directly if you have further questions that wasn't covered in the interview or if you want to contact him here.

Sure enough, maybe that' why Facebook thought to differentiate memes in their feed :)

Or grouping the news items in the feed, that we're seeing lately. For example "Christmas was mentioned by..." and a bunch of items from your friends grouped together all talking about "Christmas".

Funny stuff with the reposts, but I'm sure Facebook sees a monetization channel in there somewhere

Just Google the company/freelancer etc. if they don't have any blueprint on the Internet, than it's probably you should stay away...

Unfortunately many people has bad experiences with outsourcing, and yes, if you're not careful you'll get ripped of.

We're doing outsourcing from Romania, and here too are many many companies who does just that...

If you're considering to outsource again, let me know, I can help you with good freelancers / companies from Romania.

Totally agree, don't try to reinvent the wheel.

For educational purposes, of course, by all means, create a blogging system, create a forum, create a framework, but bare in mind that a lot of smart people (smarter than you or me) had already created what you're looking for.
