Taking over a project -

I just started a new job and apparently I'm going to take over the entire company code base. When I took the job I didn't know that I would be working with the code alone and I was expecting a little longer time to familiarize myself with the code. Well, I've had a few weeks now where I've had the chance to review the code and everythi...

How safe is code hosted elsewhere

What for sturtup to start with: complex systems (requiring big resourses) or simple and rewrite later for scalability or own "middle" solution?

Well, I've been searching for good DB solution for my startup idea. I won't create one more topic "Which DB is the best ever?!", but I'll ask one other thing.
