Sorry about the obtuse diagram. In my little Ember.js bubble it seemed important to differentiate it from things like Ember Data. These pages will improve.

Calling it a "probation" period is creating a loaded discussion. It can be in the developer's interest to find a job that really interests her rather than give a full-time commitment based off of an interview.

To extend the dating analogy a bit further: rather than putting all your eggs into a single basket, you can date multiple companies and find the best fit for you. In this market, if you are a good developer, the company will most likely wan

Despite what you might think, it is still very difficult for a talented developer to break into freelancing. Simply put, GT gives developers deal flow.

Perhaps this is the perfect time to shamelessly self-promote a side project: https://deckepic.com is a Facebook-driven dynamic CAH card generator.

Views are meant to be transient and just a step above the lifecycle of the html elements themselves.

This isn't even close to how Ember's router works. The whole point of controllers in Ember is to preserve client state (including between routes).

In EmberScript's case, sweet.js isn't sufficient for things like dependency inference (which require walking the AST). In general, however, from the end user's perspective, why is using something like sweet.js better?

Can you elaborate on some places where "low-level" javascript is needed?

This is simply not true. Chef solo does not require a server.

You also don't need to ssh into the box with chef...

The deployment pipeline is a small portion of it. Even capistrano can provide the same. The problems you describe are definitely real and non-trivial, but Chef helps with this. Heroku is also not a silver bullet for scaling up.

It also comes down to how much you value learning new technologies. I started a project in Rails 4 a few months ago and it took several hours just to get compass working again... but it was still worth it.

If you have left your heroku app alone for 3 years, you are definitely at risk of getting rooted: https://blog.heroku.com/archives/2013/1/11/rails_security_vu...

DevOps doesn't imply constant maintenance. A basic configuration on a site with low/constant traffic will probably not require many updates. If anything, using something like Chef will make it easier to perform those updates if the need act

I don't think that is necessarily true. Majority of freelancing sites are geared towards overseas outsourcing and portray the value proposition to companies of adding money to their bottom line. This naturally makes it hard for US based dev

Being as Zynga is very metrics driven, it's funny to think about this in terms of A/B testing: trying variations on design which increase sharing. The optimum will be with when there is no opt-out at all.

I felt similarly disillusioned. In the fine print there is also an inactivity fee if you don't use your simple account-- feels very counter to their ostensible philosophy.
