   Meanwhile, I've been slowly eliminating my usage of `class` from all of my CoffeeScript code. I've found that my code is much more reusable, far less prone to `this` bugs, easier to reason about, etc. I used to be a huuuge OOP guy, but now

   I have no real experience with configuration management, but I'm confused why the programming language matters? It seems to me like people complaining about Make being a poor programming language.... IT'S NOT FOR PROGRAMMING! It's for build

    I coded up a HipChat bot in < 100 lines of CoffeeScript. It leverages the existing module system to make plugin writing hilariously easy: if msg[0] == '!' [cmd, args...] = msg.slice(1).split(' ') require("commands/#{cmd}").e

    There was some discussion of adding this to CoffeeScript. The issues on GitHub seem stalled. Would really love to see it happen soon!

    I did a whole bunch of research into DevOps and Chef (or Puppet) were the clear winners. That's really kinda sad because Heroku's model is just sooo much more pleasant as a developer... at least to start. I'd really love to see a better abs

    Although I'm sure there are a great many leaks that are planned, I suspect that the frequency of leaks lately are more likely caused by companies being more open and more internally communicative. This is a meta-trend in businesses and loss

    Yup, you're right: the data is automated by CrunchBase. It should also be noted that fundings, exits, etc are under-reported, as CrunchBase is generally a little bit behind for two reasons: 1) Not everyone keeps their companies up to date 2
