   How can anyone program sanely in the presence of this: currentPos = new Point(currentPos.x+1, currentPos.y+1); does a few things, including writing default values to x and y (0) and then writing their initial values in the constructor. Sinc

   Perhaps, as Zed Shaw suggested once, look for an interesting field where your software development skills are a value add rather than the main attraction. The icing on the cake if you will :-) It could be a question of environment too: I cu

   Have a google for "hole driven development haskell" for a few possible ideas.

   Partially, but not the the same level as Haskell. It's pretty easy to get broken code past the compiler in C# for example.

   The best thing that exists in Haskell and nowhere else I've found isn't a library at all: It's the experience of grubbing around in unfamiliar libraries (in my case a database lib and a visualization lib), not knowing much Ha

    CQRS: Yes that's it. OT is operational transform; the set of algorithms behind google wave/docs. A modern take is http://sharejs.org/

    Well it's basically Event Sourcing [1]. It's probably also worth mentioning CQRS as well. All this stuff really appeals to my functional programming side :-) I haven't quite figured out to what extent OT is the same as event

    I would almost certainly build the back end from the ground up based on the concept of a stream of events. Current state is then expressed as left fold over a base empty state and all of the event types you're interested in. Benefits t

    This looks like excellent advice! I'm just in the process of automating my set up into a set of canonical ansible playbooks, and this is just another reason to do so. Perhaps this will be even easier with the rise of docker: You ship y

    I'm a customer of yours. I'm in your target market (guessing: technical person who wants a proper backup solution). However, I would never have found or bought your product if I hadn't seen your link on a thread on HN about g

    It's insane how much leverage you get with a modern web stack. I was approximately 1000% more productive using knockout, bootstrap, zeromq and websockets as I am using the in-house non-web platform I'm programming on data to day a

    Anyone looked at combining something like ansible and docker for building images? It's pretty straightforward to use ansible to build the host. This is one step forward but I wonder if anyone's used it to create images and if so h

    Yes 100% agree. I just switched over to emacs 24 starter kit for just this reason!

    So you are just running docker from within emacs rather than the other way round?

    Any reason why you didn't go for clojure script for the front end?

    This is a great article! It's very close to the stack I think I'd chose to build a web fronted project nowadays - with the exception of Haskell on the backend. I'll post some more thoughts when I've properly digested it.

    Interesting to see emacs on its lonesome in one of those boxes. How does that work? Emacs client into an exposed port or something else?
