Sure, but a lot of programmers' dream (not mine) is to be the creator of the next big thing and gain accolades from other programmers. That won't happen if you're strictly contributing to other projects.

Take a look at Derby (which is similar to Meteor) as well ( http://derbyjs.com/ ).

I think it would be easier to take the best stuff in the node ecosystem and port it to Erlang than the other way around.

What looks sexier on your resume though: "Creator of backbone.js" (Not trying to pick on backbone since it's a great project, but you can read the entire source in an hour) or "Contributed to making AR 5% faster for certain queries" I'd muc

I totally agree. Derby ( http://derbyjs.com/ ) and Meteor are the only new frameworks out that excite me. RoR is close to ten years old and has thousands of man hours invested into it. Does anyone think a new project that has some of the sa

That's what VB6 tried to be. We all know how that turned out.

I'd dial back on the shadows behind the themes. It makes the pictures look like they're glowing.

I've helped a friend take a house (that I'm living in) from down to the studs to finished in about two years. We both agree we would have been better off hiring a contractor for how much time it took.

No way can you change your own oil faster than one of those drive through places. Just going to the store to buy oil and a filter is going to take longer than driving through.

If it's fun for you though, it's a hobby and not a menial chore. If I was in your shoe cabinet situation, I would take a measurment, go to the salvation army, buy the closest fitting cabinet, and call it a day. Then, I'd spend the time/mone

To me, the most valuable resource is time. Sure, the epoxy might be only 5 dollars, but it might take me half a day of valuable weekend time to fix the problem correctly. Or, I could have had paid the plumber and used that same time to doin

I won't pull out the old Dijkstra quote, but I hate screwing around with hardware/os problems. The solutions to those kind of problems is almost never interesting to me. "Oh, foo should have been bar in that config! I'll definitely remember

To me, that's not a compelling reason to avoid using npm. I haven't played around with node that much yet, but Rails uses ruby gems just fine, and it doesn't require require everywhere. Even if you do have to use require in some manifest fi

The thing that concerns me about Meteor right now is that they seem to be fighting the use of the existing node ecosystem (e.g. not using npm, fibers) which makes it harder to use existing node libraries. Derby.js ( http://derbyjs.com/ ) in

Also, the conflict resolution library ( https://github.com/codeparty/racer ) that is used looks to be very cool.

Why the NIH package system instead of npm? That's the main showstopper for me w.r.t investing time into meteor.

I'm running into this problem right now with S3. I have a bunch of files on a cdn that I want to store in my bucket but (as far I know), I have to download them all to my machine before storing them. I'd love for the api to accept a URL.

I don't understand how writing migrations takes "weeks (if not months)". I can see "hours (if not days)". But, you still have a schema and migrations, they just exist in the application layer instead without a clear upgrade path.

fyi: webrick (the dev rails server) only needs to be reset for database changes. Everything else will show up with a refresh.

I would never stop to think that the x's could be the same. The fact the {} instead of do syntax is used and the fact that the parameter is called 'x' instead of something more descriptive tells me that I shouldn't be concerned with the par

I don't see the point of this. How is [10, 11, 12].map(&X.to_s(16)) more readable than [10, 11, 12].map({|x| x.to_s(16)}) ? The motivation behind this (less temporary variables) is a non issue to me since the scope of such

It's strange to bring up the point of loading session info from a template because "In scenarios where the latency is too high, the experience is simply horrendous. Remember, fast is good. Users want fast.", but then say "On a related note,

Please provide an npm package! In addition to the security, uninstall and versioning problems mentioned by others, not every one runs Debian and Redhat. If you provide a node package, anyone who can install node can install meteor. edit: An

You're doing it backwards. You didn't get to choose the language, you use whichever language has the best libraries/frameworks for your problem domain.

You might want to consider changing the lime green color background to something more neutral.

I really wanted Seaside to become a legit competitor to Rails. I think that the component/continuation model is awesome when you aren't building something that needs to support a million concurrent users. But, the Seaside ecosystem is (rela
