My original point was that "These guys are some of the best real-time web programmers in the world." is pretty silly. For one, 'real-time web' isn't hard, and secondly, there are people who have been doing it for years.
I hate this trend of coming up with fantastic buzz words and making people believe they're something new/hard/fantastic.
- daleharvey 17y ago1. you are pretending that all real time applications are equally hard, they arent, etherpad has a level of complexity beyond most things people do. 2. because people have been doing it for a long time means it isnt hard? there isnt any way to read that that makes any sense, brain surgeons have been around a while, its still pretty hard. like most people who complain about buzzwords you are actually putting more emphasis on the 'buzzwords' than the actual point.
- bumblebird 17y agoYou're probably right. Maybe I'll take a break from commenting on HN. I find the recent trends in the industry to be extremely depressing.
