On the one hand, kudos to a team for taking on a big project and getting it done without interrupting service. But on the other, the article does nothing to explain the why-behind-the-why. Why did this change need to happen? What benefit

Typography specifically - sorry Apple guys, but my standard-issue corporate desk monkey box does not have Helvetica and Arial is not a great way to "pop". I would highly recommend either the $25/year for Typekit or hitting up the Googl

Don't know about the Rails world so much. But Django's "loose coupling" allows you to use a different ORM if you see fit as well. Though that's to be dosed with salt to taste... you lose some fun automagic stuff like manage.py <load/d

All great ideas. I'm in a bit of a knowledge-base limbo where I spend just enough time setting up my server so that it survives a load test. I use nginx as my daily driver; I think I'll try to level up some admin skill and try to apply so

I learned Python on the fly specifically for research. I used Django to build out an enterprise reporting/analytics system to support a customer experience (survey) program for the cost of time (huzzah open source). We had bids on this pr

HTML5 compliance is fine and good, but I'm mostly concerned with how often I'll have to fix a broken layout grid etc. If I hadn't checked myself into Compulsive Domain Buyers Anonymous already, I would grab ie9hacks.com and ie9bugs.com

I don't know which is more relevant for the HN audience - a) the discussion of how to balance and deliver promises and priorities in the government or... b) the fact that the comments section of The Econimist is apparently completely vulner

Well, short of the rapture, stray quantum string (TNG reference +1), or the great luddite awakening, chances are "they" are still out "there" in the physical/individual sense. Sounds like you're not going "there". Think about the products
