Interesting. Thanks for the list. My biggest issue with Ember, other than the management of release schedule and API early on, is the concept of tying routes to models explicitly. It seems to assume that given a route context, you'll b

I'm a big fan of React. I soured on Ember but, to be fair, haven't looked at it in quite a while. Curious, though, is the statement in the slide deck that Ember "dominates" big apps true or verifiable? Perhaps if you exc

Backbone is not an MVC framework, and it's important to know that. It's one of its greatest strengths as a client-side JavaScript tool. A well structured Backbone app can stand the test of time, and I can't say that for some

Not that I implied a lack of data validation was my reason for disliking mongo - just to keep myself honest - there are the collection2 and simple-schema packages that help enforce schema validation on Meteor collections. https:/&#x2F

Oh, there's not a chance. Google's already invested quite a bit in Uber. Their exit is an IPO, not another investment. Private investment for startups is like a game of hot potato. Investors want to toss the potato to whomever wil

Yes, I agree. Selling a platform is different from selling a product - especially when you're speaking directly to the consumers. Consumers want the product, not the platform.

App.net was born out of a visceral, snap reaction to Twitter's API decisions that, really, the mainstream didn't really care about. That's not enough to build a product on top of. What's more, while I sympathize with the

I'm sorry, I completely respect your opinion, but frankly any company that can "use" "free" data from the air and resell it much cheaper than, say, the $150 cable bill, is going to be successful. That doesn't m

Everyone's experience is different I guess, but I have never once in my life found myself trying to peer around my own finger. Touching the screen to control where I want information to move is intuitive and precise. Tilting a screen i

Hey there, if you're listening! I actually dealt with something similar almost a decade ago. I never considered suicide, but during a snowy winter where I also experienced financial pressure and a lot of family strain and changes, I ve

The only concept stranger than being encouraged to send a photo of such little value that it disappears, is being asked to respond to something you can't see.

Hi there, I wrote this a while back. It may help. http://mrcwinn.svbtle.com/being-shy The short version would be: know your strengths as well as your weaknesses (seems like you do). Give yourself time and find things that w

It is link bait, and it's not the first time Slate has done this. Take this as an example: "Is There Any Truth to the Claim That Einstein Was a Fraud?" To summarize the article: "no." Here's an entire article

I think this is imperfect but pretty wonderful. Great job. Feel proud for all the detail work you put into it, designers and engineers!

I would just say that the "X versus Y" approach to frameworks (as opposed to tools) is not very productive in a lot of cases. The best way to approach it is to define and understand the needs of your project, research, and choose.

Great job on the write-up! I have precisely no experience with Erlang but I always enjoy a good programming article. I won't speak to Erlang's philosophies or paradigms, but I would like to respond to the bit about Go's handl

Curious if anyone has experimented with Go+React - specifically rendering on the server side as well. Similar to Rails / react_ujs (react-rails gem), seems like you would need to provide Go with access to a v8 runtime and a FuncMap hel

For what it's worth, I switched to Android and did not have to pay Apple $20 to disable my iMessages, despite not having an active support contract. I did, however, have to do a quick Google search, log in to my iTunes account through

Thanks! And I agree. I have Backbone code from quite a while ago and it's still holding strong today. The thing with Backbone, as opposed to some more convention-orientated frameworks like Ember, is that it's as good as the progra

I haven't yet put React in production (possibly in the next month or so), but so far working with it has been fantastic. In my case, I've been refactoring some complicated Backbone views as React components, but still mixing in Ba

I fully support making discourse more productive and agree the problem exists, but the idea of giving a small subgroup the power to determine whose voices can be heard is hardly "more democratic." I do agree it is less work for yo

I've spent a long time with Backbone and it's still holding up well. Despite interesting projects like Meteor, or big frameworks like Ember, I continue to prefer Backbone to build rich — ambitious — web applications. Having a lean

I think there's a difference between a dependency on a library, and choosing a syntax or language. If you do not rely on jQuery, or jQuery doesn't move your code forward, you absolutely should not depend on it. You can always spin
