Happy to read this. My own gripe is open source projects that are CoffeeScript-first. CoffeeScript is a tool. Some people like it, some people hate it, and some people just don't get a big enough win from it to care. JavaScript is the

Ha! It's a pendulum that swings in both directions, and I think people are moving on from wasting their time and energy complaining about PHP. Here's what I have learned. 1. Developers complain a lot, and that's a good thing.

The world gets far too complicated if we not only choose to respond to events, but also attempt to assess the motives of the parties whose minds we can't get inside of. A "think tank" demanded the world's most profitable

I can tell you absolutely, without question, that when it comes to security and people's funds, there is nothing courageous about a hacked MVP in production. There's a difference between someone's to-do app one weekend, and t

I applaud anyone trying to improve performance. It is discouraging, though, that it only helps with some of the fastest and most efficient queries: direct SELECTs by ID without any joins or LIKE statements. For those interested in good cach

I recently switched back to Spotify. Rdio's "web app inside a native app" really kills the experience for me personally, though I'm sure from a dev experience it's a lot less to manage. The app feels slow. Sometimes

Nope. My HTC One, which I love, has a higher DPI. I'm not sure what it matters at that level though. Great will look great.

Where do I start a petition to make people aware of what a complete a-hole Linus Torvalds is? This is clearly identifiable, consistent behavior. He may be technically correct in his response (or he may not be - I really don't know), bu

In other words, people don't have to be real on your site? Did George Zimmerman actually sign up? It may help the reputation of the site itself to have a real user base. I know it's slow going in the beginning when you get out the

Apple, meet Orange. Why are they bashing Stripe Connect, which is not comparable to Balanced? They were looking for Stripe Marketplace, which does offer a complete white-label solution. For a fairer comparison and review of Stripe's wh

There are still issues on rev13. For example, when binding to the didCreate event after committing a model, the model.id is not defined. You would think `didCreate`, fired when a response is returned from the server, and that response inclu

For what it's worth, we are about to start a sprint to rebuild the customer-facing side of a Rails application using EmberJS. I will more than likely post a walkthrough of the experience. We have worked a lot with both Backbone and Emb

There's plenty of good people at Balanced, but Stripe's Payout API is very capable and, in my experience, much more elegant to work with. To imply that Stripe is built just for charging cards is no longer true, as you can see in m
