His point about the meaning of prototype is very relevant and on the mark. If the technology stack you choose to prototype matters in any way then it is highly likely that its not a prototype being built.
I think it is important to have this mindset when prototyping. Too often I see prototype code make it into production when it should have been thrown away.
- ibdknox 15y agoYes, my goal with using Clojure is 3 fold: 1) Selfish - I really like Clojure 2) I hope more people will see Clojure as a viable language to develop websites in 3) It's obscure enough that most people won't try and turn this into production code. I've seen so many big projects that started that way... I cried when I had to work on any one of them.
- Tyrant505 15y agoI really like your p#3. My additional note applies just to me learning ruby and rails and would hope to take your code further as I progress. I guess what my concern: 5K is fair of course for your level of expertise, but I would love to have it for me to build on and learn on. A bit nieve to hope it would make it into production of course, but additional building and small changes in ui(I know better), model/db changes, logic, from the stack I've been learning will aid in me making a better "prototype", and learning! Perhaps after the initial 2 week job, additional tweeks on hourly or second iteration could be in order?
