I love laughing at self righteous people like you. You see the world as though people of different sexes and skin colors all think differently but at the same time think all white males think exactly the same without even realizing how ridi

I almost fell out of my chair when I realized this was from D'Youville College back where I group up. Interesting idea for a Linux distro although I'm not immediately clear what a 100% in RAM OS is good for but that's probabl

I think we're all excited about the growth of women in programming. But you can bring up a gender without bringing another gender down. This author singles out "overweight, pasty, Birkenstock wearing males" as the reason why

Is this author a self hating male? Lets just appreciate the movement toward better OOP design, why does it have to be attributed based on gender? Grow up already.

Seems quite heavily weighted towards Web development but a good list either way. Thanks for sharing.

Come to San Diego. Our meetups are great from the several different ones I've been to. I haven't encountered anyone like you described.

The "pain and annoyance" of learning Ruby? Just what language were you trying to learn exactly? We all have different experiences when learning new languages but this is the first time I've heard learning Ruby described as pa

Hah, I was just wiki-ing Emergence this morning after listening to Russ Olsen's great talk from Ancient City Ruby[1] on the topic. Creepy. 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQp1CFJxgs0&feature=youtu.be

Darn. I bought Crafting Rails Applications in paperback three months ago :( On another note, I've been using Rails4 beta and RCs at home for the past couple months and it has been a joy. At work I've also been working on a Rails

That's unfortunate. Eloquent Ruby and POODR are two of my dearest Ruby books. Rails Anti-Patterns was another great book. If DHH and Co. don't want to recognize some of the great books you and others have churned out, at least tak

Yes! I definitely have that entrepreneurial burn inside of me but I haven't had any idea that I feel strongly about yet. I think I'm going to start trying to opening up my mind more and engaging in new things, reading about topics

If what they are delivering is in fact a high quality education then I'm sure as long as they go through all of the necessary channels that Canada requires then they will be able to continue operating. Instead of complaining they shoul

Wow this is an incredible wealth of information in regards to the Real-time Web. I recommend anyone read this regardless of whether you use Python or not.

I had the bare fundamentals of JavaScript down (constructors, the prototype object, anonymous functions/callbacks) and I did quite well once switching to CoffeeScript. I really recommend using the coffeescript.org "Try CoffeeScrip

Those are all great points. These days there are great tools like(foreman from heroku comes to mind) that give you tiny configuration files to detect which versions of languages and environment variables you need to make an application run

I haven't used either of these frameworks but I have used Batman.js[1] which has a very similar feel as Ember.js albeit it's written using CoffeeScript. The two issues that this author are singling out aren't exactly addresse

It sounds like you're in the minority based on places I've worked and people I've met! Good for you though, I think it requires a lot of discipline to stay on top of VMs which is why so many people install things directly to

I think the interface that brew provides is very simple and easy to use. The terminal output during installation is nice. Again, it's the extra little polishing of these OS X tools that I think really draws people to them and keep usin

It's always been a little mind boggling to me that in Web Development where we deploy to Linux servers nearly 100% of the time so many people, especially in the Ruby community, develop using OS X instead. Personally, I use OS X at work

Lesson I learned from this: I never want to create a web browser. Reminds me of Paul Irish's blog post[1] about how few things a web browser engine give you and how much these browser vendors have to implement themselves. 1 - http:&#x

Interesting and humbling test of various browser quirks when it comes to inserting assets (and sometimes not inserting them at all) into an HTML document. This is good information to know but a bit too edge casey for me to commit to memory

These dicussions remind me of a quote I once read. My apologies for not remembering the source: "Anyone who calls themselves a 'Full Stack Developer' clearly doesn't know how deep the stack really goes."
