   In 8 years they have got 1 woman involved in a core capacity to their community. I'm not asking for immediate results, I'm just asking for them to lead by example and to stop criticizing people who are doing a much better job at

   I think Jacob's and Alex's criticisms and attacks on other communities/companies would be more relevant and credible if their own Django community would start being more inclusive, I only see one woman committer: https:&#x2F

   At least the most notable woman and YC founder in the django community, Leah Culver, hasn't backed Jacob in any of his witch hunts. I think this says a lot about how the women in his community feel about his actions.

   I used to say this as well, as someone who has done C# (5yrs), Perl(2yrs), and Python(5yrs) work. But the truth is that there is a training/ramp-up period during that learning period. When I made the switch from C# to Python it probabl

    This is from a commit he did over a year ago: https://github.com/alex/libuv/commit/3977d1b36c689767cc0db50... Had nothing to do with using a masculine pronoun, it was to document how the code works. Hes not a

    But when writing documentation, you are unaware of who it is for, so it would be a valid use of gender neutral he, correct?

    I think #2 happened because Alex (the creator of the PR) was being hostile in his comments. I doubt Ben would have closed this PR if Alex would have approached the subject with more poise and kindness. Not everyone is familiar with the bat

    Bootstrap also came out of what they learned from their time working at Zurb, so its not surprising that Foundation is moving quickly.

    I saw Mail Chimyo but now I see MailChinys as well. The one thing I don't see is MailChimp.

    I find the final p Mail Chimp extremely hard to distinguish, especially at smaller sizes. The p looks like its saying Chimyo instead of chimp.

    How does SOA improve scaling? I've never had to build anything as big as pinterest and it seems interesting to me. I don't quite understand how it reduces connections. If you have your front-end tier connecting to your service tier, you'l

    This is awesome, it is a very good alternative to other sites like ajaxload.info I would like to see more options like a loading bar instead of just the spinning circle.

    I recently asked Jon about getting Braid on steam and he said it being listed as Linux compatible was an error. So I think someone at Humble Bundle did the port for him.

    JoCo created a cover of Sir Mix A Lot's song "Baby got back" in 2005 and paid the proper license to distribute his version. Glee (A TV show in the US on Fox) copied his version but did not pay him any royalties. So he has re-released his 20

    It doesn't make sense to compare Backbone to any of these. Backbone is a low level library for getting you started. If you are looking for something easy to use to get you going you just use one of the frameworks built on top of Backbone,

    I switched to Pyramid for this exact reason. Django and Rails were both getting in my way where as Pyramid is just as powerful but without getting in my way.
