Does anybody have a guide on how to migrate away from GoDaddy without downtime? And what would you recommend instead? We currently host a bunch of domains and use their DNS servers.

Rails is turning into a framework that includes everything, including the kitchen sink. Personally, I prefer to use the best tool for the job and node.js seems to be a much saner choice when doing realtime communication, since everything in

Hey Jason. The general problem is hiring people when you use a lot of internal tools - - as some of them are made in a haste and are hackish, and most of them don't really have good documentation. But maybe you have a point and the first st

I think it's strange that people discuss "MVC" without specifying which MVC they talk about - - because most of MVC patterns are VERY different and used in very different contexts (e.g. Rails and Smalltalk). About a year ago I did a blog po
