Your editor is such a central part of the workflow that I really can't see how you can choose something else if the one you like better costs just 50$. You will be using it for countless hours, so if you really liked TextMate more then vim

Using vim for the last 10 years or so. Had switched to TextMate for about a year in 2005 when started doing Rails, but went back to vim quickly afterwards. Tried to switch to sublime2 lately, but its far far from being ready. may be one day

hmm. I don't see much "interactive" about it. it just spits "Sorry, this solution is not quite right!" at me. WTF am I supposed to do?

this is a lot of work if you are OCD and print out your diffs to mark with a highlighter. A decent git gui like GitX on mac will let you do it with almost no effort at all.

I just use gitx when I'm on OS X or tig when I'm on a terminal for per chunk or per line (gitx only) staging. git -p is too user unfriendly.

why would anyone need a stack overflow content scrapping bot given they release all the data CC licenses anyway?

This is rediculius. If you can not comprehend recursion you are indeed a bad programmer, and no amount of tools is going to change that.

All our development and staging systems are essentially free, mongolab/Mongohq have free plans that are enough for dev. That being said I'm definitely not looking to save 20$ as I bill 110€/hour so one saved hour I can devote to actuall wor

ok, just for kicks, those I know: - Dennis Ritchie of course, and Kernighan too (though I had to google for how to write it) - Gruber and Arrington - yes - Siegler and Lacy - no - Van Rossum, Wall - of course - Tannenbaum - yes, - Stevens -

I'm sorry but no, its not on the same "scale" of being universally known. You see, I'm in this industry from there late 80s, and I know who Lunus is but I have no idea who is Matt Dillon, I was never too much into BSD, mostly using Linux, b

started at about 12 by participating in a Logo "course" in a monthly youth magazine. I don't think I thought about it as "programming" back then, it was more or less in the same category as solving math puzzles and stuff.

You can write Java in any language ;) I've been talking with guys from a big 3 letter company here and they started using Rails by moving their Java devs to do that. They ended up with 200K models, mostly generated by some scripts and stuff

One of the points of the merb-rails merge way to have the best of both. allow for a lean-fast minimal stack just like with mere, but also to allow to have all the bells and whistles of rails if you want to.

you are somewhat missing the point. the idea of proper REST is that you NEVER should generate your urls. you take them from the resources. now suppose you have an application that consumes RESTful API. if you do it "wrong" you probably stor

You really don't need to upload address book for that. Sending just hash sum of each of phone, address, name, and email would be enough to make the matching.

It all depends on how much you value your own time. It never takes just 5 min. And over the course of a year it migh easily take hour(s) of development time that is better spent on improving you product. Heroku does the same thing for examp

First of all, the stuff you are not inventing NOT always should be in the library. sometimes the best a library can do is to have a generator, let people run it and modify the resulting code. > I haven't used Rails in a while, but last

I don't agree. Recently I started to work with node.js and after switching from Rails where you have a pre-configured ready-to-go project within seconds, with node you need to assemble the whole thing yourself. For example there is no "stan

The only thing that is required for the contract to be valid is the agreement of both parties. Even if you agree verbally over the phone the deal is "theoretically" valid. The only problem with verbal agreement is that you will have a probl

funny, its almost exactly what we do. we price 110€/h remote, 140€/hour onsite and we only do time and material. After working in this space for many years this is still a problem to 'sell' to many customers in our space (entrepreneurs (esp
