This may be stretching the applicable domain a bit, but I think the concept of YAGNI applies to the time/effort spent on configuring primitive tools to suit use cases that -may- present themselves in the future.

That underlies a major issue i'm seeing more of in the tech startup scene: Coming up with solutions to problems a large majority of users don't face. Blog after blog proclaiming that "Email is broken", "It's time to rethink email" etc, et

"Developers: It's time to start writing apps for Tent and adding Tent support to existing projects based on the current specification. " It's time for you to show me why I should invest my time in writing apps for your platform/protocol.

How do you equate "mysterious" with good visual design?

Looks like they're really going "all-in" on the CLI for web app concept. I'd expect to start seeing this type of interface really taking off for a lot of developer facing services. What's old is new again...

Enough already, we get it. If there's such a pent up demand for such a service, why hasn't someone launched a similar service like, yesterday?

What the hell is up with Apple? I'm usually all for fierce competition, but this vindictive bullshit goes above and beyond that.

"Anti-Joel"? As if abiding by every thought that goes through Joel Spolsky's head is a goal we all have to attain?

I think the best analogy for that concept would be a change of basis: ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_basis ) Basically some problems are made trivially easy, without having to change the problem definition by changing the underlyi

WinRT is technically a wrapper around Win32 that makes it easy for other languages (C#, javascript, etc) to gain access to a low level windows API. Pretty confusing really, since it stands for "Windows Runtime", and with all the baggage the
