   It is great to hear success stories for the Clojure/ClojureScript workflow. I really respect the work behind LightTable and understand the natural lisp support of Emacs, but I have a lot of time and neurons baked into using Vim. Most o

   I would guess this is JS transpiled from CoffeeScript or something similar. That makes it an even less fair comparison, as ClojureScript would compile down to something just as wacky looking.

   This is hands down my favorite talk that Jim ever gave. A great example of live coding.

   That changes the "feel" of composing without JSX more than anything I've seen so far. Trying to work JSX into my compiling pipeline was an uncomfortable hassle. I'm going to give this a try.

   I think it has a deep saturation in many applications where the server is in something other than Node. The shininess may have worn off a while ago, but I think it is still entirely relevant.

   Excellent distillation of dozens of patio11 posts. The key, and what I think is the blocker for so many potential consultants, is the amount of human to human conversation that it takes. It is certainly a stumbling point for me!

   Annoyingly this causes me to have to "accept" that I won't rely on the cameras every single time I start the car. Without doing so I can't access the radio, nav, etc. Proximity sensors and cameras can be invaluable when

    From my understanding all Github features are deployed to staff only behind a feature flag. Naturally they had it partially in production before flipping the flag for everybody That said, surely the notion of a website where you are hosting

    I recently wrote about a great, and very simple, use case for JS Proxies [1]. They are the cleanest way to implement the mediator pattern in JS, which has some great uses in MVC. [1]: http://blog.sorentwo.com/2013/12&#x

    Excellent! I've been looking forward to the improved GC. Nice to see they kept the Cheistmas tradition alive.

    A couple months ago I got into Project Euler and decided to tackle all of the problems with Elixir. It was a great way to learn syntax and performance nuances. Definitely a tool that I enjoy using and will be keeping up with.

    Using \e within the psql shell will drop you right into your $EDITOR, which is likely vim. You can edit commands in there directly and they will be evaluated when you :wq out. The next time you type \e it will load the previous command back

    I have been all too pleased to move away from the ruby based compiler and just use a pure grunt workflow. It is vastly faster and lighter weight. From what I understand there are some limitations to the implementation, but I haven't en

    The term "totally different" is a bit exaggerative here. I hadn't clicked through the slides, but after reading your statement I wanted to see what crazy "totally different" language was being used to test. Really,

    That is precisely why our apps are currently "stuck" on 0.9.10. The upgrade process for backbone is rather painful, as you end up hunting for "undefined" issues all over the place. Any change that renders my entire appli

    We own a diesel 2012 bmw which requires diesel exhaust fluid. If it runs out of fluid (which can happen on a road trip) the vehicle will refuse to start. Extra maintenance is certainly present.

    I've had the same experience in trying to pick up go. The lack of some FP paradigms that I enjoy (iterators, namely) combined with most of the naming conventions just puts me off. I realize the goal is to be very paired down and easy to pic

    There are numerous benefits to using a presenter, or at least a "renderContext" object. Most conversion, formatting, predicates, and lazy attributes won't come through with toJSON(). The performance penalty is negligible compared to the ben

    We are running a smaller app on JRuby using Puma with thread safe on. It has a significantly smaller footprint, as we are only booting one server. Overall really solid, though more useful if you can use something other than MRI.
