It occurred to me as I read the article that SeekingArrangement.com actually could not have asked for better publicity than this article. Sure, there will be a round of condemnation and so forth, but there will also be a great many thinking

Aha! Never made that connection. Thanks!

Can you explain? I didn't understand this part of the conversation.

Great start - glad someone finally did this. And it's good - I searched for "meet your downstairs" and the Amy Winehouse song I was looking for came up. Maybe add a way for users to submit new lyrics? I don't know any of the legal implicati

I'm going to admit my ignorance here...I understood very little of what this article said and what it's relevance is. I don't follow Indian politics, so I do not know very much about how the government works, what the Lokpal bill is, or wha

That's a fair point, I guess I've been spoiled. I guess I just don't mind knowing those integration points and working with them, but I can definitely see how it would put a bad taste in your mouth after a while. The NoSQL integration I thi

It's not pretty, but it is the lowest level of abstraction. If they used a prettier example, they'd have to pick a framework and then people would complain "hey, why'd you pick X and not Y?"

That has more to do with the underlying provider (Amazon) than the language hosting provider. It's a hard problem for cloud providers to solve but I'll bet you Amazon will get there sooner rather than later.

It has to do with how quickly you can iterate on your production software and what the distance is (in terms of time) between a developer committing a change and that change making it out in front of an end-user. In traditional enterprise s

Also, I'd be curious if PHP support is coming at any time. That seems like it would open the floodgates.

Are there times when you prefer Java EE over Spring and the like? Java EE does some things well, but it seems like lots of comparable libraries/etc are offered in the open source side of things. Not knocking, really just curious about your

I've been hoping for this since I first used Heroku for Rails/Sinatra apps. I feel that with this change, Heroku is really getting serious about their offering (not that they weren't already). But as someone who's worked on enterprisey stuf

No sarcasm or humor. And your reaction is totally understandable - I think most guys have this reaction. It's true that not ALL men treat women poorly, absolutely. The clincher is that many guys treat women poorly without realizing it. In t

People never state it explicitly in these articles, but there's a very simple reason for why this is happening. Most guys treat women very poorly without realizing it. Even here in the liberal Bay Area I encounter lots of guys (who vote Dem

Ah. I like this response the best so far. It's not reactive and I feel genuinely informed. I certainly understand the fear of the community degrading and I wouldn't want HN to be like Reddit/Slashdot at all. But there is an interesting unsp

See, this where I think you can have humor without it going down the Slashdot rabbit hole. Also, humor is subjective and what some people find funny, others won't. It seems to me that slapping down certain types of humor is encouraging anot

I think both points being made here are correct. It's true that having knowledge of libraries is valuable, because as you say, how will you get anything done otherwise? However, there's a certain type of learning that only occurs once, typi

So true. Modules are a wonderful feature, but they come with a lot of power, the implications of which are not always easily understood. To me it's telling that one of the best Rails developers I ever worked with had 10 years of C++ experie

To me what the article is highlighting is a certain blindness on the part of many Ruby coders. My first language of choice is Ruby, so I'm not trying to spread hate here. That said, I've encountered many times where a Rubyists first reactio

I wish I had 10 accounts so I could give you 10 +1s! I guess those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. It's funny, principles of good programming are about as old as programming itself and yet everyone seems to feel the need to red

A lot of nice feel good answers on this post. But for some of us, too freaking bad if you have to work long hours. I'm not personally a fan of long hours, but not everyone can work for a LinkedIn. And in many shops, long hours are unavoidab
