What's with the 'PHP sucks' fixation? Enough already. It doesn't help educate others, it makes you look like a know-it-all.

Kudos to the jQuery team for taking a risk.

As I read this I thought about social welfare: well-meaning and often counter-productive. Another corollary would be dog training.

+1 for Premailer, I was going to dig this link up. Coding HTML email is a nightmare.

This makes for a heartwarming magazine article but I don't think it's good advice. If you don't set boundaries with your clients, they will set them for you. Which means calling the CEO at 2 AM on a Saturday. The sentiment of always respect

I'm not sure that's fair, Ian Laurie has been a solid blogger for years and is often critical of current trends. He ventures into technical topics from time to time too. He may not be your cup of tea but he's certainly not the cheap PR stun

Wow, tough crowd. This is a Dreamweaver killer for CMS themers, no need to bring Vim into the conversation.

Serious question: Why should I get started with Node.js? I've monkeyed around but don't get it. Maybe I just don't encounter a need for it when building websites for clients. Dunno.

Same here, Bootstrap has a ton of momentum and the mixins abstract away worrying too much about the vendor prefixing stuff anyhow. Horses for courses, the real story is that these pre-processors are getting serious traction.

This opens up some great possibilities. I noticed a jQuery plugin the other day that ingested JSON or could pull data from a supplied Google Doc. Seemed odd but makes sense when you see the direction Google Docs is headed.

"This is an URL that is fetched via Ajax by a Javascript function in response to the menu item click." I find this incredible, I wonder how widely they have rolled this out (or plan to). Robert Scavilla created a pretty cool demo site to te

Thinking that everyone should learn to code is an absurd idea. Most folks can barely use their computer, let alone care to program. A good percentage of web designers can't write markup, do you think my mom is going to fire up a shell? Perh

Responsive images are obviously needed but this syntax is noisy and confusing. Adding info after the file extension would make it too easy to overlook.

Dumb question, do you download a docset and add it? Point it to a URL? Derive it from docstrings? All of the above? As noted by another commenter, I too use Alfred for site-specific searches but this looks much more powerful.

Funny! The sad thing is that it isn't that far from a number of current sites who seem hell-bent on making you feel out-of-touch.

That's what I thought. IndexTank was purchased by LinkedIn and open-sourced their engine it appears. This looks really cool, kudos to the guys that built it. One thing that's worth pointing out: Google Site Search and Google Custom Search a

Boundaries and stability are unlikely to be found in a startup. Not my area of expertise, but it sounds like a med/large company with a positive work culture and less-toxic politics might serve you well for a few years. Best of luck!

Huge improvement! The title tags could use some love, but I'm sure it's been a mad scramble to get the site up.

Great idea! I'd use this on client projects if: - I could pass a selector rather than adjusting my markup (maybe I can add 'fixie' via jQuery?) - There's an easy way to swap out the word list - I've had Bacon Ipsum, Hipster Ipsum, and Gangs

Love it. Their software is pretty damn good, I hope they become the de facto SEO package and make scads of money. Rand's writing about marketing and the inner machinations of growing a company are always worth reading.

Interesting perspective. +1 for using Mint.com for business - my partner set us up and it's a great way to get a global view of the inflows and and outflows. I've gone the opposite route (hired an accountant) and feel I have a much better u

One detail left from the analysis: these guys are already well-known for their UX work amongst the crowd most likely to purchase Flow. Reminds me of when Guy Kawasaki launched Alltop for "only 10K." Yeah, 10K + 500K worth of PR that comes w

The advice to be explicit when using shorthand is excellent. This has come back to bite me many times (you end up re-writing background and margin declarations to undo your clever shorthand). The multiple measurement units is cool too: part

This must be mortifying for Cutts & Co., although being the PR pros they are they'll brush it off as an inadvertent mistake. This isn't the first time by the way, they penalized Google Japan in a similar situation a couple years back.
