I think if you added the ability to traverse directories, that would take this tool to the next level. I kind of expected the tool to be similar to NERD Tree or Vim's explorer, which would be incredibly useful.

Most people don't have the time or will to mentor someone outside of their jobs (for free). So the best way in this industry to get mentoring is to intern at different companies, where someone is responsible for your growth.

I live in Silicon Valley and even I don't get 15mbps with my home Internet, which I pay $40/month for (which illustrates how bad the Internet situation is in the US as well).

In the year 3000, the machines were losing the war to humans. In a last act of desperation, they sent back a few of their own kind to the year 2015 to alter the course of history and skew the odds in the favor. All they needed to do was con

Personally, I prefer to call myself a developer around my computing peers. To the average layperson I call myself a programmer. But when I apply to a new company, I bust out all the fancy engineering titles my past employers have given me.

This. It's not just about doing stuff you enjoy, I think that's a broken record everyone has been playing. There's a certain level of authority that I think we all want to have on the stuff we do as well.

Pretty much this. If I can get a ClojureScript interpreter (similar to CoffeeScript) that would be amazing and would lower the barrier for a lot of people.
