possibly offtopic but as a non-beginner javascript developer I find some things taught to be not best practices. its possible that the user is being guided up to a place where he fully understands "this is why this method is better". an o

I tried looking for your resume after reading this comment (I downvoted you). If you think working 16 hours a day makes you more productive , I'd have to imagine you are not an experienced developer.

See my other comment, but I think you underestimate the physical and mental strain something like this usually entails. Hey if you are going to do it you are going to do it, more power to you. Go get em! I just think "being tired" in all s

I won't comment on my personal negative/positive take on this - doesn't much matter. But the main issue I see, as others have stated, is the sheer amount of effort involved in merely surviving each day, every day. Not being assured a mini

This guy's article blatantly admits he went in expecting and preparing to be on the defensive. That's never a good way to go about understanding another human being. Surprise, surprise he says he doesn't understand the audacity of RMS! =O

All my life I have been known as the cold asshole because I am very critical and non-accommodating. So I just want to say something from a person that has always and still does believe that most people are weak. People don't do __, and are

This brought a huge smile to my face just now because your blog is running on http://jekyllbootstrap.com =D Very nice implementation of 'the minimum' theme by Yuya Saito as well. Sorry if this is off-topic, I'm just happy to see your blog

Good luck to you as well! I have followed your project on GitHub so will play with it when it's ready.

I think that's the key there, and you said it in much less words than I did =). You have to give people no excuse to not try your product and every reason to try it. In other words good, easy to understand hello-world examples are a must, t

To be honest, I started the project as a way to get my name out there in the Open Source community and ultimately make it easier to get a job, yes! I've realized my ideal job would be as a developer/Open Source evangelist/advocate/community

I got downvoted into oblivion (deservedly so) because of my snark. But this is essentially the point I was trying to make. Rails is good at ruby. It was never good at javascript. Remember rjs? Remember inlining ajax handlers? Now we have

It takes consistent and dedicated effort. I learned this the hard way of course =). Also what I've become completely sold on because it worked for me, is to contribute to someone else's project that has some traction already. As a develop

re: asset pipeline It's beyond me why rails thinks it should dictate how to write/manage/package javascript. As a newbie-ish javascript developer I am continually learning from great projects like requirejs, enderjs, nodejs, commonjs (AMD i

What can you do? What do you want to do? I made http://jekyllbootstrap.com because I decided one day I needed and wanted to make myself a blog that was not Wordpress. All my code is Open Source on Github, I just code all day everyday and

Just want to say I support your willingness to work and improve yourself. On the part of "a year's worth of weekend projects" might I suggest going for quality rather than quantity. Back when I had a developer position, when it came time fo

I've always thought, in a working environment, it would be best for everyone involved if designers got up to speed with git. I know git is hard, and I know designers are not necessarily command-line junkies. Rather, my point is simply: it's

Agreed, it's interesting but I have no way to gauge it. There's no obvious publication date so for all I know it's 5 years old (and not very popular). In contrast, if it was just launched I would be much more willing to try it out in spite

Can you wrap the autosave feature in a conditional that checks for authenticated session? You don't need to save work for non-logged in users. I just personally think it's very powerful to have a way to demo the app. Alternatively can you s

What specifically did you need/want integrated with Rails? Do you mean you have a blog in rails and you want a way to automatically port it to Jekyll? Can you expand on your specific use case?
