   Why would something that is opinionated and inflexible not be useful? See Rails.

   I think what you're missing is that this is the opposite of having decoupled microservices by design. Their point is no configuration, seems like they're trying out the "monolithic" convention-based architecture with the

   Yeah, you and I are millenials, we were born in the same year and grew up with the internet, not necessarily being raised by it like the generation after us.

   That sounds like an excessive test. What kind of code are you guys writing? Why is it not okay for him to use implementations from elsewhere? Should he really reinvent the wheel to try and impress you? Reminds me of the time I got asked to

   Projects. Contribute to open source as much as possible and build as much stuff as possible that you can show off. Then you should have no issue finding something interesting. Might have a better chance searching outside your hometown thoug

   This seems more reasonable. Also typing out a complex password on the iPhone is a pain in the ass when you just want to reply to your buddy's text.

   How do you figure that deploying 5 services vs 100 is the same cost? Also how do you take into account maintenance and configuration of each individual service and tying them together as a whole? From my experience, even at large enterprise

   I love this concept, and think the premise is absolutely true. As others have pointed out, practicing and just churning out quantity often develops habits and bad practices. One way of combatting that seems to be switching up your routine a

    Here's another idea - don't give me a push notification anytime someone in my network has an update.

    Neither? Not sure which part you are referring. I really believe that it's the best dev platform, I've tried all of them. Ubuntu can come close, but orders of magnitude less user friendly. In my opinion and the opinions of folks I

    I agree with this sentiment. We can complain all day, but the fact that we have these devices and software that have been made accessible to us by Apple is astounding from a historical perspective. My parents are in awe of the calendar app,

    Do you think it's lack of YC seeking them out or lack of startup founders tackling these problems?

    by elliotec 11y ago

    It seems like market saturation of YC companies will dilute their brand. Better for everyone else I guess.

    I have been unable to find an advantage that vimwiki or vim outliner have over just using vim with markdown in a Dropbox directory. Folding, numbering, etc work really well for me for that. What do you like about it in particular over what

    Yeah, I use markdown files in Dropbox with vim and some snazzy plugins. It's very effective for me.

    Do you hire anyone except BYU grads? Serious question. Sounds like a very Mormon culture. Is that what it's like?

    Yeah this guy needs to move on. He is welcome to hold on to IRC forever, as is anyone, but Slack is obviously an extremely useful, popular, and effective communication tool for open source projects as well as just about any team function.

    Aside from your confusing logic, it drives me nuts that half my screen is your body shot while I'm supposed to be reading your blog post. Very distracting. Sorry if this is nonconstructive.

    I've seen a few examples of performant SPAs providing a better user experience, but I can only think of a couple. One example would be the Timbuk2 bag customizer: http://www.timbuk2.com/customizer#/product/15-

    I was just singing praises to Rails last night for these reasons. At my corporate job, we use Java with Spring, and a hellish mess of node packages/libraries/whatever we're calling them now. It's not good. So when I do s

    I have, and still prefer text. More users figure it out. Sometimes the text will be long and you have to design around it, but I'm pretty sure MENU in Dutch is still MENU.

    by elliotec 11y ago

    I strongly disagree with this, and use the word MENU every chance I get. Because always bet on text: http://graydon2.dreamwidth.org/193447.html And also, I've seen A/B tests show that users prefer MENU text.
