I’ve been thinking a lot about time and priorities myself and agree that you’ve got to take a hard line on prioritizing and doing what’s right for you. I’ll be interested to see what you’re up to by way of whatever you write about it or talk about it at the office. Also, I know you’re interested mobile optimization of applications – something we’re focusing on heavily this year. I think there will be a treasure trove of projects there that’ll get you excited.

I'll have to look for one of those around here. I agree that practice doesn't make perfect, but perfect practice isn't necessary (or sufficient) either. It takes practice and reflection. This is exactly what you did at that retreat: practice, then think about how you did it, what you did well, what you could do better. Devoting a portion of our mind during practice to recording what we're doing, and then reviewing and reflecting on those observations and the results later -- that's how we get better. Practice and reflection! it's my motto. (one of many) This sounds like a great idea. I’ll have to look for one of those around here.

It really captures the intent and experience of a coderetreat well. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself and got the core lessons out of it: practice and how to practice. We'll be having another one on the day after the Software Craftsmanship North America conference. Look for the registration to go up sometime soon. Thanks for writing this up, John.

Unfortunately that was not the case." If you use the query option to the mapreduce command it will be able to use the index to filter the objects to map over. However if you do the selection in your map function with an if statement then that can't use an index. Either way for 365 smallish docs, it will still probably be faster to process client-side anyway, especially if you make good use of the second argument to find. “I hoped that since we had built an index for the fields that MapReduce was using to determine if a document should be selected, that MongoDB would utilize that index to help find the eligible documents.

I created this patch while using bugzilla 3.0. It looks like SMTP authentication was added in the 3.2.x release (http://www.bugzilla.org/releases/4.0/release-notes.html#v40_feat). So, you should not need this patch for version 4.0 of bugzilla. No, I did not get that error.
