Thanks. Looks like it's available only on the development version - I wonder if it's production ready... Also - I took a look at the article - it does not mention using a total node approach of using something like node-http-proxy for load

I have read about various issues in using HAProxy and socket-io (websockets mode). I am currently working on a project that's heading towards that direction - anyone has anything to share on that front?

Can someone explain how such a HUGE codebase is maintained and new people get acquainted with it? I understand the distributed nature of development, but still, this seems like LOTS of code especially for someone new and who wants to get st

He says: "There is no shortage of ORM librares for Node.js." However, I personally don't find any production ready ORM. Especially when you consider what Django, or Rails or Hibernate can offer. Having said that, Node and MongoDB really get

Have a goal based learning approach. Tie your learning directly to a project that you are intending to finish. That way - your learning has some end goal and does not become an end in itself. Also, aggregate what you want to read before han

Launch to who? To press? To end users? You should ideally not have anything called a "launch" at all. Start showing the prototype as early as possible to potential users and refine it along the way. There is no golden launch season. It's a

> you are writing javascript, which is a pretty shitty language in which to develop apps these days. Woah. I do both Python and JS, and guess what - there are a fair number of people who hate Python's significant whitespace. And to them

If there is one thing I have learned out of reading HN the past couple of years - it's that to be successful, the technology is not always as important as the actual problem being solved. So, don't get carried away by the technology or the

Git comes with `git gui` which offers some kind of UI. If you are looking for UI - I would suggest that you go for JetBrains IDEs which come fully integrated with Git (and other VCS). More than the IDE, you definitely need to walk people th

Sorry if this comes across snarky, but please avoid using "Painless X". People are over exposed to it, and it doesn't really convey any meaning.

TL;DR: Yammer uses a number of languages and every one of them have their strengths and shortcomings. They are getting back to work, and not argue about tools. No "official" word on whether they are actually moving away from Scala.
