The examples kind of feel like an introductory page to coffeescript, in reverse. I think it does a great job of showing why meaningful indentation is cleaner. Now I want it for ruby :)

On another note, how great is it going to be to have components you can reuse between angular, ember, jquery and the likes? A web-components.com repository would be awesome!

There's another option besides mixins and base classes, composition. You can break your fat model into lots of smaller classes that you aggregate into your original model. The big advantage over using mixins is that the scope is kept m

In rails filter functions like that are kept in the model. They're composable and lazily evaluated so you don't really end up with giant, one-off methods. In python I'd expect to find this sort of functionality in a service c

There's plenty of low cost housing in London, it's just that you won't be living anywhere near the bits of London that you're thinking of ;) I used to live in an old edwardian house in Greenwich, it's a nice area an

Forced to choose between adverts or paying for content (imagine a payment scheme like spotify, fixed rate subscription, popular sites get paid more etc.) I would pay in a flash. The problem is, as has been discussed many times before, the a

I prefer to write a pending test, that way I can just run my tests the next day and get into the groove again.

After going from maven to rake (switching from java to ruby) it was like a breath of fresh air. Using grunt then seemed like a real step backwards. I'm really glad to see gulp and hope that it becomes the defacto build tool for javascr
