Is this the Struts 1.0 of the ASP.NET world or something bigger?

Amen to that. The best programmers I've ever been around both get the problems solved, and leave a legacy that can be followed, adapted, and replicated. Could be that it's my context, (which is dull and businessy), but 99% of the programmi

Interesting point, but ultimately a non sequitur with the OPs question.

Agree. What other things is twitter, however?

Yet... I'm probably overly paranoid and certainly under-educated (possibly even to the point of the level of believing in "magic"), but accelerating the mutation rate of something like this just scares me. As I said though, that's an emoti

The company I work for was, until recently, completely WFH, with ~20 or so people. (In the US. In Europe, its HQ, there was always an office, and in other satellite offices.) One of our WFH US locations is, in fact, Atlanta. It works fine

Don't take it so hard; the writer just meant "she" wasn't really "ashley".

I don't think the paper hypothesizes a long ring finger CAUSES traders to be better traders, does it?

I'm not sure I'm considered a musician, yet, but I'm learning bass guitar. I practice daily, though not as much as I'd like.

No, support@. The only one I could find on the beta web page, although I could have missed others. And yes, PTM is a windows app, but it is .net so conceivably mono could help/work with other platforms. I'm not a .net coder by trade, so

I have beta tested it and it is a nice program. I even LIKE the "disruptive" way it goes about tracking time. However, I've found a free one that does much the same. Personal Time Manager (look for it on sourceforge). It's kinda-sorta no

Yeah, this is going to be interesting. I hope it takes hold, somewhere.

In this case, "you" IS me in particular. I'm slow on the uptake more often than I'd prefer. =) Thanks for the comment; I hadn't thought of much of that.

Firefox 3.0.5. I haven't played around with the nightly's much, but I might. Thanks. And yeah, to the Javascript VMs progressing. I don't think I've seen as much buzz about performance upgrades as in the JS space. Waiting for it to hit t

What? No "Skynet"?

Without revealing anything I shouldn't, our company has also "taken a hit" on merit increases. As a data point, we have much fewer employees than those polled in the WSJ article.

As an emacs user, it would be sorely missed.

Agreed, here. The very fact the question was asked at all speaks volumes about the person who asked it.

What he said. If there was some benefit to having more karma than "the other guy", then maybe. That said, I'd still be in favor of one, only because "news" is temporal so "old" karma shouldn't be worth as much as recent. But, I'm shootin

Exactly. It's worth only what someone is willing to pay. It might be worth more to you , but if it is, you simply don't sell it.

The presumption was that it ever did. Popular at one time, sure, but "matter"?

I'm no expert, but this reads more like 11 Web companies the author would LIKE to fail.

Parallelization + horizontal scaling is my guess. If you can't scale up, scale out.

I'd disagree here, although I do like Scala. JRuby is, in general, not "dog slow", especially not compared to MRI ruby.

I'm pretty decent at ruby, but only know a little python. :shrug: The OP should try both for awhile. One striking difference I've found between the two are the communities. There's the python community, the ruby community, and the rails

Anyone who's had to use one can tell you why. They're freaking hard work.

It's not, but java never caught on for desktop apps because Swing is a steaming pile.
