Is this just a really polite, introspective take on (Rails|Ruby) is a Ghetto? I can't point out one really valid critique in this entire rant. While I imagine that you've had enough kool-aid to actually believe the things you said

This^ is actually where my concern was. Specifically: > While in this case, we're getting less code in the dependency, I'm highly suspicious of how their working knowledge, method of code organization, etc... can be transferred

I find it pretty interesting that the only real concern was "can this team solve my technical problem using the best tools in the shortest amount of time" but did not seem to consider things like, "What happens when this team

This is the DHH everyone has come to expect, and enjoys reading. The entire premise of rails is based on putting negative light on configuration, this is sort of David's M.O. The rails community has come to terms with the lack of pedan

So, was this meant to be a counter point to DHH's article in any way? I really just got that you're mighty pissed that RR Parley banned some of your posts. Dually, DHH didn't say TDD was dead, he specifically said "TDD i

Wow, kudos to this perspective. I could have seen these design blogs rattling out a list of reasons why Yahoo's logo process isn't "The Right Way" -- namely because it reduces the process of designing a logo(and dependin

Maybe I'd know the answer faster if I just tried, but, does this let people pair from, lets say, SublimeText to Vim? From the screenshots it seems to be one-way(sharing from a native editor to Floobits web editor).

So if nginx is "engine-x" does ngrok "negro-k"? Or is it a "y" sound like "nguyen"...?

by t4nkd 13y ago
Yeah, I'm not really feeling the persuasion here. I really don't know many "frontend developers" or "backend developers" to begin with. I know plenty of people struggle writing maintainable, well structured applications or who don't grasp f

Unless I missed a particular story, I haven't seen Summly or Yahoo! announce the number is $30m. A reasonable point here was that relicensing from SRI for the core functionality of this app could be a large part of the purchase price. Als

So, what you're saying is, the next published paper will be on how Megauploads shutdown has increased the sales of music? I wonder what dinner theatre ticket sales look like over this term, maybe digital piracy is killing the stage!?

So, using their extremely scientific method, did anyone else experience increased site traffic, or sales? I'm sure we can link other industries who deliver digital goods(software) so the closing of a digital locker site. Correlation === Cau

Personally, I've seen a lot of qualitative analysis and anecdotal evidence to support remote working, specifically when it comes to technology companies. I've worked with a notable company who almost exclusively used remote employees and, f

He's trading most of the simplicity for rich pre-rolled features. Building your own authorization/authentication and integrating with OAuth is pretty trivial, maybe a few hours if all you need is simply logging people in. Same with a CRUD C

This reeks of immaturity. Not since high school has the sentiment of "I'm wearing headphones to be left alone" been a popular or reasonable one. At least during those years, peers could look at you and make the mistake that you're so deep t

Aside from the photo gallery, which actually feels improved, I think everything else about this redesign went in totally the wrong direction. A massive sect of users is stuck in the "give me simple, stupid" mindset, and the platform popular

For the record, my company would pay for this resource if I asked, and I don't see what's offered as being all together valuable to a professional who charges < $150/hr; only pieces of what's offered would act as a resource for learning

Agree, at first I thought Nathan had accomplished something for these companies. I thought it odd that he didn't make a bigger deal about his work for them. It was a shot to his credibility that I found he has never been involved in project

The "complete package" gave me sticker shock, so much that I almost closed the page then and there. It was only out of curiosity as to why the $200 price tag was worthwhile that I even kept reading to find more purchase options. It put a

That's actually a much better sounding idea than just fragmenting the source into a whole new project, that will probably eventually suffer from disregard as Bootstrap continues to flourish. In fact... https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/

Unless I'm mistaken the Air gives me slightly less horizontal space and slightly more vertical? And it's still a 13" form factor? How different could it be from the 13" MBP I run now aside from size/weight, hardware performance, and portabi

Fair response, the list wanted to be in question form, turned into hem hawing about anti-apple opinion. I'm still on the fence about 13" resolution and I can't seem to find resources to help me make the choice. Thanks for the reply.

by t4nkd 14y ago
Not very good, honestly. From what I've read, switching to a higher resolution wont really give me more work space, just make things more crisp, but I'm not sure how significant that would be for someone who wears corrective lenses already.

Maybe I misunderstand the Perl Foundation grants model, but, isn't a great deal of that success due to the highly experienced developers who have already been contributing for years? Would the same success apply when the codebase in questio

Am I the only one who's a little skeptical of this guys plan? Looking at this from an objective standpoint, and losing focus on the idea that Smalltalk is a great language that deserves this chance, the focus of this funding is being put on
