I agree with all these. I would however recommend getting Agile Web Development With Rails directly from Pragmatic Press as you can be certain you're using the most up-to-date edition (4th with Rails 3.1) and can purchase solely the ebook i

It's constant, almost everyone experiences it. Best thing to do is look at some really old code you wrote and realize how far you've come. After that, write more code, read more code, write more code. Programmers all want to be better, this

Switch to Linux, use a tiling WM, download the first four seasons of IT Crowd. Watch them in a 1 inch floating screen while doing your job. Wait for the laugh from boss's office. Or is it only sound... yeah just quit and work somewhere awes

I'm still using Javascript at the end of the day, I'm just doing so via an interface that I find more readable and writeable. I don't see it as much different than letting a minifier optimize my javascript rather than writing it that way by

I see your point. Punctuation is a vector for meaning and clarity but is Javascript's syntax any more informative than Coffeescript's? It isn't in my observation. It certainly offers more flexibility in style, but why would you need it? I c

Yeah, you've hit on what really appeals to me about those three and others like them. They shift focus to what's really important in each case. In HTML I want to focus on document structure, not closing my tags. In CSS I want to focus on st

Someone should write an arc interpreter and call it tan so we can have arctan. Arctan? Arctangent? The inverse of the tangent function. Hu- hullo? Is this thing on or what?
