I thought all the hipster Brogrammers moved onto Node and JS? Didn't they get the memo?

Ruby is not dead, it just smells that way. Seriously though, it's demise is a little overstated - the BBC for one use it quite a bit, as do quite a few startups. The author of the post seems a bit butthurt that Ruby has not surplanted

Frameworks sound great until you inherit a franken-app built using one. You might be able to understand bits if they religiously followed the dogmatic usage of the framework but more likely they just wanted to get stuff built and not wantin

Has QA slipped, or are all the walls in walled garden all a bit wonky?

It's something a little like this: "We are altering the deal, pray we do not alter it any further". Closed source, closed negotiating position. When you buy one of these cards, you are already assuming the position to get kic

Most of us who work in banking IT, are lured in either by the proported larger salaries, or the opportunity work on big systems, and interesting problems. The reality is a little less glamorous. The salaries can be larger than average in so

Oh, you bought Nvidia? Well, that was your first problem, and fault. The Intel graphics are not so fast, but at least a big chunk are open source.

People who want to work in tech, being helped and being able to work in tech, regardless of gender, religion, social demographic, accent, body size, colour, shoe size? Fantastic. I am all for that. From experience, the last thing most women

No, sadly not even messenger would have or could have saved them. The youth in the UK flocked to BB as it was a cheap platform. Nowadays they can get cheap(er) Android handsets that run more apps, and do a lot more. Also, the networks (in t

It most comes down to the human condition, the need in our psyche for some mystery, things to keep our eyes and mind active, even when occasionally the rational part tends to point out the unlikeliness of the creature or event. Some like Bi

Seems overly simplistic - an advert from a girls school would appear under the sexism ruleset, an advert mentioning that they have a pool of company cars that you drive would fall foul of bubble ruleset.

Luckily it is a Linux only world, where we don't have to build cross platform solutions, none of that considering those nasty BSDs or Minix or anything else really. Just Linux. Oh wait....

Maybe it is related to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainwashing If they post the same thing enough times, we become fatigued, inured, and even welcoming of an end with Go, just for the quiet in posting about ho

Simple answer - if we wanted something slower than C++, then we already have Java. If we wanted some more dynamic we have Python. If we wanted something more Brogrammer style, we have Ruby, so what fit is Go good for?

You gloat, standing atop a hill of technologies, all implemented in C or C. Fundamentally you built your blog in C and C++, you just to do so indirectly, much more slowly by inserting JVMS and other bits in the way.

The problem is not that C++ is hard, it's that Haskell doesn't solve the same kind of problems. We would all love programming to be easier, for the compiler or interpreter to just know what we really meant, rather than what we act

Do you have a strong shoulder? From carrying that rather large chip on it? Just curious?

There will always be bullies, especially in the school years, the big difference is now that the internet gives them further reach, if, the victim allows it. Not that the victim should have to avoid any websites, but thankfully there is tha

The danger is that real racism, which is a scurge we should all fight against ends up being lost in a sea of complaints, accusations and suggestions of racism. The reality is that there are a few vocal people with might powerful shoulders o

You have to experience working in an IB to appreciate the article. They are very very much swamped down in politics process and paperwork (albeit electronic these days). It takes ages to do small things, forever to do the rest. No one has a

Ultimately, code is like farts. It does stink, but passes with time. Also, stretching the fart analogy a bit more, as developers we always find the output of others (farts and code) to stink more than our own. Some even seem to like their o

It is somewhat ironic you chose the word ghetto when discussing Rails, as it reminds of Zed's previous article. I think it is a good thing for new and maybe even experienced Ruby developers to build their own, to see a way beyond all t

The real anti-pattern is building sites that get to the point of needing loading bar indicators. I loved web, when it was, you know, documents. With links to related and other relevant documents. There is a need for online forms, to replace

In my experience, most clients we worked with did not request Rails, it was foisted upon by developers who say the five minute blog video, tried to model the business problem, failed, left for shiny new gig, the client is left vulnerable to

We are all to blame! All of us that buy, or let relatives buy Android devices that use restrictive and closed blobs. Customers and only customers have the power to make the change. Every time we encourage someone else to buy a non-Android d

Avoid Brogrammers, rock stars, and anyone who advocates rails as the solution to the business problem at hand. The good programmer asks questions first. The bad one runs off and builds stuff at a whim. The good programmer gets stuff done. T

The way this is going, Linux will end up as a single process operating system, that will do everything at web scale. All outputs in glorious binary format. Funny, the crowd got distracted over Gnone3, Unity or Mir, or the latest worry of th

This is very much a good cause - the BSDs tend to get forgotten behind the rush of Linux development, but they take their time and produce some excellent ideas and products (thinking of: PF, OpenSSH, amongst others) - why not take 5 minutes

Once upon a time the Rails Brogrammers laughed at Java, where there was endless design pattern abuse and needless armchair architecture. Now the same has happened to Rails. When you even think you might need to use Inter actors, it's time t
