Not substantially performant for use in systems programming. Not substantially powerful or enough libraries for use in web dev (yet, this could change). Global GC (inappropriate for the niche it's ostensibly targeting). Overly opinionated a

I sucked it up and registered anyway, but I still hate it and it makes me loathe to use the site.

What connore said, that and hackerne.ws appears to be turning into a rather uncritical bunch of cheerleading, rather than any real sensible evaluation of what's in front of them. This community is starting to feel more like slashdot and Tec

Making observations isn't a testament to authority nor skill. Stop acting like he's some kind of sacred lamb and go look at the actual work he's produced other than being a 'personality'. I thought Hackerne.ws would be more circumspect abou

The last time he tried to contribute code was more than a little embarrassing. He managed to be on the ground at the right time for the whole free software and hacker culture thing, but as far as actual coding goes, he's nothing special.

Frankly, I stayed up so late last night/this morning that I had nightmares when I did finally pass out because I was hacking on a compiler. ESR can't sling enough code to contribute to a random OSS project without people getting exasperated

I've used set theory to hack up a search engine for a collab project in an evening. I've made an app that gets around the lack of transactions in MySQL MyISAM and allows auditing of arbitrary django ORM models with logs. I wrote a micro-com

As much as I love zen koans, especially hacker koans, it's worth remembering that ESR doesn't really code and I don't know if he merits the 'authority' that some people ascribe to him.

No, I think they just shouldn't expect tenure, better pay and better benefits than a high school teacher.

I honestly think this is the way to go, especially if you figure out a good damper on frivolous commentary.

Those who cannot do, make it into a liberal arts major and talk about it at NYU to sociology majors. Those who cannot get tenure, whine on IRC.

Go tech meetups, bone up on your foosball. If you've been coding on your own time you should've already known a few people from the SF BayArea by now via collabs/side-projects. Unless by tech nerd you mean someone who can't/doesn't code.

Why node.js? If you care that much about implementation, you should consider it an opportunity to write some code.

Beta usually mean it works, and debug=True should never ever go anywhere production. I don't think you're a Django dev, because that's a srsface problem.

Flag yourself, I emailed them and they sorted it out. I think people would like to know if they're going to show this much lack of care. debug=True should never ever ever happen in a production environment. Very sloppy.
