Somebody may be interested in gossip, "IT celebrities" and cheap-prediction stuff, but why they started it here? There are lots of sites offering exactly that. For me the only solution is to allow down-voting submissions by top contributors

or: this is gonna be a shit. It's exactly the kind of submission I'd like to see downvotes for, like mentioned in the discussion on how RiderOfGiraffes left HN.

I guess quite a solution to the submissions quality problem would be allowing down-voting of submissions at some karma level cap. This way, a group of users with best karma would be allowed to just stop crappy submissions. Otherwise, they h

OK I can see a business plan in it and I can't blame people for choosing one way of earning money over another. Still this is quite sign of the times we live in. If someone's putting most of his service from the pieces hosted elsewhere, wha

Althought interesting product, it just makes me believe that many people are using ORMs simply because they don't have SQL under their belt. The query they describe as 'monstrosity' is actually easy, understandable & typical stuff to do

I agree Rails is not the Ruby opus magnum and the easiest way to get convinced about it is to read ruby-talk list for a couple of months. OTOH the Python's "one way" is also not the point and is easily misunderstood. I recently jumped into

Even worse nightmare is pretending that the code is more stable just by labeling it as "package vX.Y.Z" and hiding the actual meat behind such "profesionally" looking cortain. And yes, I'm an admin for 15 years. My experience is when softwa

There's also one issue not mentioned in this article: Lots (if not most) of the code has documentation so poor, that there's no way to determine what it's really worth other than looking at the code, examples, tests. Github does it right by

I think there's nothing wrong with doing your project with as much passion as you can, then sell it and totally switch to that other passion. You should just be clear about it from start when speaking with potential cofounders.

Exactly. Please note I'm not speaking English natively and used phrase 'my take' according to my knowledge how to use it. My point was rather a digression comparing to the original article. In fact, I sympathize with the author and I put my

Excellent article. My take is that what kills Lisp is a common allergy towards anything related to so-called release management. The Lisp technology helps with it - it encourages staying within an image and putting all new stuff there. The

You wouldn't believe it but for many of us non-native english speakers, his pronounciation is obvious and sounding naturally, while the "english'ized" one is funny if not ridiculous.. ;)

Naah. My joke - you got it was a joke, right? - was: They don't write meaningful comments at all. Including those with swears, meaning at least something. Joke #2: What would they have to put into commit messages, if you consider so much of

I strongly disagree with the common conception that high points on StackOverflow would be a good measure of coder's quality. They are merely the measure of someone's involvement in answering the questions. Sadly, many answerers are just poi
