"It's a hipster-free, open source software stack for web applications." :-D
- 0xdeadbeefbabe 10y agoIs it possible to evaluate that claim without learning more about hipsters?
- CJefferson 10y agoI was actually thinking this sounded incredibly hipster -- heading towards some (in my opinion) completely inappropriate minimalism, where writing vaguely secure code will be almost impossible, and you end up having to write huge amounts of simple base code which should really be provided for you. Yes, that's harsh, but I think starting new web server projects in C nowadays deserves the harshness.
- tlrobinson 10y agoDoesn't the act of declaring yourself "hipster-free" in some way actually make you "hipster"?

- rvense 10y agoFor a brief period in 2009 I decided to self-identify as a hipster, to like totally short-circuit the concept, man. But nobody really cared much and it's not come up since.
- jajern 10y agoIt's funny that they say that because I would say, if I did call things hipster, that this was hipster. Typically hipsters are defined as people that go against mainstream. Well this is pretty far from current, popular app dev environments.
