Absolutely. Before reddit "digg" was the big site. And suddenly digg died and all users moved to reddit. And digg died because of a "re-design". Can't believe reddit is doing the same mistake.

Erm .. what is the point of Rails here? This can be done with Rack, Sinatra, Node, Go. I really like Rails, but I get a bit annoyed when people use it everywhere even where it is not a good fit e.g. no need of activerecord, no server side t

Berlin. Live here and love it. Reasonably big, multicultural city with excellent public transport. You can go anywhere within 1 hour by public transport (average 25 mins). Eat any cuisine anytime, tons of startups, meetups and social events

Cool. But what about persistence / choice of database and how can I scale up / down?

Alpine linux is great, however lack of JDK (needed for Java/Scala/Clojure/JRuby/Groovy projects) keeps me from using it. Hopefully this can be fixed soon :)

I agree, but you also have to consider the crazy inflation rate there. Not to mention cost of housing and no decent public infrastructure. You need a lot of money just to get a reasonable standard of living there.

You should also check your memory + cpu usage when browsing. My laptop was on fire. I think they tried to do too much, I simple selection + slide show would have sufficed.

Mike is one of the nicest developers around, if he read the code of an open-source project and re-wrote it in a different language I do not see what the problem is. Then again, I am no lawyer but this is kinda scary.

You would think Indians are lucky in this regard. It's actually the opposite, despite being a software developer who earned reasonably well (compared to the norm) I dread the thought of going to a good hospital. I just don't have

This looks good. I have done a few Backbone projects and inevitably write some of this code as boilerplate. Great to see that the framework handles this for me while giving me the flexibility to fall back on standard Backbone functions when

Well this sucks, in India even after speaking Java, Ruby, CoffeeScript and Scala I get a measly $35,000 which after taxes goes down to $25,000. Yeah, I know low cost of living etc. etc.

Good points. However, regarding performance, you can get a lot of mileage by moving over to JRuby + Torquebox (cluster) and further improve response times by adding a caching layer and maybe throwing in Angular.js / Backbone.js (templa

While I would like to agree with you but the fact of the matter is no one cares about this stuff in India at the ground level. The govt. is already collecting bio-metric data of the billion plus population, apart from a few, no one proteste

You are right, it's a lot of tools for FE development. However, (IMHO) when I used this toolkit, I felt very productive, for example, if you make a change in the CSS, the UI is automatically refreshed (no need to manually refresh). The fina

You are right, and the reason that people don't care enough is because they have so much on their plate. I live in India, and I have realized that apathy is prevalent here because it is the only way to survive for the educated middle class
