I'm actually really interested in the tech stack they used to make these new features. Specifically Projects. No latest and greatest framework or anything of that caliber. Just plain PJAX which is what everything else they have done

by dham 10y ago
No. With that stack you can build business and make money. Not a toy app. That being said, if you were doing a toy app then you would take out PG. You don't need all the dev gems they just make your life easier / faster startup

My coworker has a Mac Pro with 64GB of ram and regular posts screenshots of Slack and Spotify using 20GB + of ram. Granted he never closes those app ever, until they become a problem.

Yes 1.+(5), 5.-(1), 1.*(2). Ruby is probably the most object oriented language out there, besides Scala(which borrows from Ruby. Which borrowed form Smalltalk). Keeps syntax rules to a minimum. Where is something like Java 1 + 1 is a sp

I never forget the years working Christmas and Thanksgiving at the movie theater, or bagging groceries at Harris Teeter pretty much every holiday(that was actually a huge step up because I didn't have to work Christmas day). Sure work

So you went from one of the largest frameworks in existence written in Ruby to a Javascript runtime built on V8? That might be the least apples to apples comparison I've ever heard. You do realize if you're doing an API you can

I listen to every DHH interview I can but his view on a rewrite is different than others that do rewrites. There is no "second system" per say in his world. He leaves the old system up for people that still think it works just f

Small modules they say. Small standard lib is ok they say. Just going to point out that in a lot of other languages, string padding is just built into the standard lib.

I'm one of those hold outs. I had a iPhone 6 for a month and it literally gave me anxiety because I couldn't thumb around Spotify and other apps like I was used too. I traded it in for a 5s and have been using it ever since. I

What is the advantage of this over say using threads? Web scraping is pretty much all IO so you get big wins using threads in Python and Ruby.

That's awesome. We need more developers like you writing blog posts and going on Podcasts to kind of balance out this "chasing new shiny things all the time developers". When a tech becomes big there's a million blog p

Imperative jQuery isn't that bad at all. I agree with you. Once I actually sat down and really learned Javascript 4 or 5 years ago my jQuery got a lot better. I don't think developers understand how to write maintainable jQuery

I did JSF for 4 years, along with the rest of the Java EE stack. Glassfish web server. There was never churn like this . I was pretty enthusiastic about front end dev for years. I'm pretty burnt on it now though.

It would be somewhat hard. You couldn't do things like CSRF tokens or any kind of data that comes from the server and rendered on the page. Also the assets couldn't be named with hashes to be cached indefinitely. But the concept
