The problem is that you're applying C++ sensibilities to a prototype OO language. `this` doesn't refer to the current class, but to the current object. There are no classes and no methods. Functions don't even really belong to the object th

`this` is not a code smell, but trying to do variable hiding/encapsulation of attributes through closures leads to grotty code. Use the leading underscore convention. It's worked in Python for years. The article author will also be a lot ha

If you're on OS X, bortherbard's fork of gitx might work if you're looking for a graphical option: http://github.com/brotherbard/gitx/downloads I don't actually use it to commit because I have a screwy commit flow, but I'd expect it to wo

Wouldn't that be considered progress? Most programmers today don't really understand how a compiler/interpreter works, how to write assembler, how to allocate/free memory, or even a solid understanding of data structures yet work somehow ge

There are actually a number of server side JS runtimes, but node.js (or nodejs or NodeJS, the naming is semi-inconsistent) has the most buzz/momentum. I'm confident that you'll see a number of frameworks/libraries that can take advantage of

CSS is actually the tweakiest part of the frontend triumvirate. The syntax isn't hard (selector + bag of key/value pairs) but putting it together so it reliably renders on all browsers takes weeks/months. I'd recommend doing sass/compass in

I've been in your position, quit, and failed horribly. My primary weakness as a programmer is lack of focus/tendency to get distracted and as such I was forced to recognize that I work best in a (preferably small) company. As such, here's m

Thanks for releasing this DocumentCloud. I've been ranting about bound models with jQuery for months. It's nice to throw away the start I've made and use someone else's code.

This job description reads, at least to me, like the minimum requirements for any frontend developer position. It's not clear to me what makes this a lead position. I started to go on a rant about what job descriptions are generally missing

Promises are definitely gone. The pattern now is that functions taking a callback always take it as the last parameter. The callback always has an error argument as its first parameter. Since the pattern is predictable, it's easy to write a

The point wasn't to make it not look like Clojure, the point was to express querying constructs in a way that's natural to the language. This isn't impossible in any language and is actually fairly common within the domain (e.g. SQLAlchemy
