My "complaint" was actually trying to find out why people upvoted in the first place. The "why" is not addressed by this architecture. I'm amazed. People in this thread jump in to defend the upvoting of this post an

So, I'm not allowed to ask why this post is interesting? By the way, votes on HN are not equal and not the only mechanism to get on the front page.

Well, I was not reading a major German newspaper here. Last time checked, this was hacker news. I don't see the connection between the two, but anyhow, let's just go with it for a moment. I actually like your comparison: this post

You got me all wrong. I think nodejs is in a good place and now is the time for small improvements. I just don't understand why it's on the frontpage of HN.

My thought. I didn't discover anything interesting in the commit log.

My experience with google ads was not great. I once ran google ads for my mom's online shop. Before, there was a constant stream of visitors and revenue. With google ads, the visitor rate went up crazy - the revenue, not at all! Despit

Yeah they miss out on a lot of good talent. Most programmers in my team are older than 32 and they're amazing!

Okay there were many comments here... I'm a dad of 5 and 7 year old girls. They're now old enough so I start teaching them to code, and then I plan to take it from there some day (learning together). Besides that, I always have an

My background is computer science and programming. I usually take on the CTO or lead tech position - but very hands-on and as little managing as necessary. First thing I did after university was joining two guys with fitanalytics.com, a siz

Do your own company. Hire people. Do projects for clients. I did this and I'm pretty happy. Most projects have been interesting. Some clients have been difficult, some are great and with those we stick. The team is happy. We hire young

> Is that 13th century German manor a "McMansion" too? Look, you'd really have to read the blog before making comments on it. Always a good idea. First read - in this case, all of it! - and then talk about it. Please.

I totally agree with you. It's generally a good idea to actually read something before commenting.

I think the original point of this blog was just to make fun - as it says on most articles, it's satire. Meant to entertain and make fun in the first place.

I always wondered why there's so much sugar in everything. All of my friends, relatives and people I know think that everything is too sweet - cookies, cake, soup, lemonade, ice cream, you name it. Am I weird? Do people actually like t

Another fundamental flaw in my opinion is the cats-and-dogs analogy frequently used to highlight the use of inheritance in OO. Cats and dogs being mammals is a taxonomy. It's data, not code. Unfortunately, I see OO programmers coding t
