   I'd be hard pressed to find another language that I'd want to use for my server side development work. It's hands down the most expressive c style language in existence. Coupled with Visual Studio, the amount of quality sof

   Wow, he's talented. Avgrund seems like it could get some use on a project i'm working on now: http://lab.hakim.se/avgrund/

    Yup; which is why the people getting hired for those projects would flounder if asked to make a large individual contribution without much handholding; and also why those types of project team structures yield such incomprehensibly shitty s

    I think these types used to be derogatorily referred to as "cowboy coders" in the 90's by overly process oriented developers who came from an era of mainframes and punchcards. I think a big shift in modern software development came about wh

    If you are introducing bugs that will at some point need to be addressed while "working fast", that'll cut away at a lot of the added value.

    I really love Hakim's work. I've been looking for a way to integrate his Avgrund modal interface into some of my projects http://lab.hakim.se/avgrund/

    I feel that the concept of the "Tragedy of the Commons" more closely mirrors this aspect of "social intelligence" that the original commenter referred to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons

    Why are tech employees and companies the getting the blame for increased rent? Last I checked it was the property owners and landlords who control that. How far back do they want to go? Protesting in front of Tim Berners-Lee's house for b

    I'd think Backbone plus jQuery makes more sense if you need close to the metal interaction, but still need some level of structure.
