   Yeah, I use Backbone with Marionette on a project that's a few years old ( demo.enterprisejazz.com ). The "freedom to the implementer" part is very important to someone like me. I don't think it would be productive to sw

   For me, the cost of having to go through all those steps and learn all those tools is significantly higher than the $300 or so cost of buying Camtasia. For me, it's not just the time cost, but the energy and cognitive resources consume

   I got smacked with the broken back button too. Had to close the tab, re-load HN and find my place again. I'm going to guess this is probably not intentional on their end. They're probably aware of the issue, but likely it's a

   I feel like if you are trying to make your online flower shop work, you probably shouldn't go near any where near any of these libraries. I think they are for experts who are working on large projects, probably 30,000+ lines. For the c

   Perhaps I'm naive, but shouldn't very many users already have jquery cached from several CDNs? So if you use a popular CDN for it, it should affect load times too much in most cases?

   Out of curiosity, what's wrong with backbone?

   .NET is actually the framework that gave me such a bad taste for frameworks. It's important to note that my experience with it is from around 2010-2012 though so it could have gotten much better since. The ORM in particular would somet

   AirBnb seemed to not have good prices for off-season beach rentals. I was checking there a few weeks ago and found way better prices for off-season beach rentals on traditional rental sites... sometimes for exactly the same property. I assu

    Hmmm, I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. Are you talking about someone doing something like writing their own ad-hoc ORM? I would agree that it's almost always best to use a library where possible, preferably on

    I agree, as I look over these posts, it seems the people on opposite sides are visualizing what "not using a framework" means very differently. I assume the "not framework" people are selecting tried and true libraries,

    I agree, selecting libraries is a much more fluid approach. Once you get comfortable with your libraries, you basically have your own framework without the commitment.

    A developer who doesn't understand SQL could be a little dangerous because they might not understand data structures and big-O concepts (sets, hash tables, etc..). I don't think someone needs to be a wizard with the syntax, but th

    At that point, they have a framework that fits their use case and don't have to deal with a bunch of the negatives such as the framework getting abandoned, obfuscation, and the framework fighting their use case... Not that your point i

    I hate frameworks. God I hate them. Until I saw this post, I thought I was a simple minded freak in the extreme minority. They are probably great for many people and projects. But someone like me, who wants things just so... I'm always

    I tried to buy a CPAP the other day. Had to get one off craigslist. I thought it was weird that you can't just go buy one from the store.

    Can be fixed pretty easily with a "loading..." message, but I guess no ones going to fix something they don't know is broken (since the developer will be using fast internet)

    Even if he did say that and mean it, it's probably natural and healthy for someone in his position to have a psychological bias towards predicting their own victory. To be an elite competitor, I think you have to stay in the mindset of

    Yeah, I thought that was strange to use a list for the set implementation too. Average set addition and search should be O(1) if using a hash table. O(n) is a problem. Glad they put that clearly at the top though.
