Decent post with the wrong conclusion. Why do I need an MVC to make a RESTful API?

Others have tried and keep throwing more and more smart people at the problem they just shouldn't have. MSFT with Windows codebase that runs out of several labs. Crazy branching and merging infrastructure. They use source-depot, originally

I believe the problem everybody trying to solve is that Rails is poorly suited to build RESTful APIs. If you love Rails and still want that, mount something like Grape ( http://github.com/intridea/grape ) inside your Rails app.

It's too bad that Ruby requires strings to be GC-ed, otherwise you could get away with an even faster stack string up to a certain size. Basically you would do the same thing as RString, but when you declare a string on the stack, there's n

Now, 15 years later I totally agree. I definitely had all of the intentions of fooling clients into believing that I had a bigger company than I actually had - inventing personnel speaks for itself. I wouldn't do it again.

I think it's similar to owning vs. renting a house. Working for someone else is like renting. When rats are running through your kitchen you pickup your crap and leave. But while you live in this rented house you might repaint the walls and

On "it's slow" ... Making direct calls to the DB probably won't make it ten times faster. Reporting data should come from a pre-aggregated table (think data warehouse) so that you're not doing anything than an indexed SELECT. So anything di

Let me brag first: I could be that girl in the interview. Yay me. But am I the only one to think these are obsolete skills? Isn't there more to software than knowing C++ at this level? Would I want to spend 10 years on learning it as well a

I second the recommendation in the post - don't sign a non-compete if you can. A past employer introduced a non-compete half way through my employment. Most engineers ignored repeated HR requests to sign it. I had a few 1:1 discussions with
