I'd really like to hear some non-enginners perspective on how this is working. Everything I've heard about GitHub is really positive from engineers but less so from its other members.

Looks awesome! But not not actually reborn, more of just a concept of how to make it a lot better. Can we, as a community, stop saying "LOOK I MADE SOMETHING" when it is actually just a landing page or mock up?

What is wrong with an internet sales tax? If you live in the US and buy something there is a sales tax associated with that purchase. Why is buying via the internet any different?

Weird that performance was the first reason mentioned when saying that is why he picked clojure. Ease of development is usually the top of my list. Then ease of hiring developers to maintain the system. Clojure is hard to dive into and hard

Sweet that you made your first app. But the fact that you made an app really isn't that novel, how about teasing us with what it does in the title instead of a now common place technology? Tell us that you made the "Groupon of twitter" or t

Don't let somebody else tell you that your square peg needs to fit in that round hole over there. I have a B.S. and a M.S. in computer science and I am 100% confident that it was the right choice /for me/. I also work at DISQUS with some of

SENSATIONALIST TITLE! This seems great for web dev, but Sublime is just killer for Python, I don't see this making any editor 'look out' if you spend most of your time in a backend language.

This is a list of apps that in no way use the android default widgets. So yes, it can be beautiful when you do all the hard work yourself. (and yes, these apps look fantastic)

Why on earth does being made with bootstrap matter for this? The headline should read "Logstash UI that doesn't suck" What something is built with doesn't matter, that it works matters.

We bought a bunch of them at DISQUS, our current failure rate is about 20-30% failed within the first three months of use. Would not buy again.
