Good post! Ad 2.: Ok, that's right but rather a general prerequisite, so I would remove it from the list. Ad 3.: Yes, this is recommended. 4. and 5. are good steps but optional and should be done in later stages otherwise it's typical prema

Maybe a price can steer devs towards a specific tech but in general I participate in hackathons because it's a relaxed and easy way to learn new coders. You build something together and it's fun, much more fun than having some small talk at

Good post and I share you thoughts about the ecosystem and you often do not have a reference. You are C++ experienced—did you try to build your own native extensions with Node already? I am about to access a existing C lib with Node and wan

I guess these buttons have to be installed in some way that they are easily and quickly pressed in case of emergency before the enemy gets the equipment (so w/o opening your notebook i.e.). But then every colleague running past my desk can

Why do I need the red button if the green button erases data sufficiently? The red button is impressive but whats the benefit of trashing the SSD? Or does the green button not erase data with 100% reliability?

No, you are right, the post needs some clarification there and thanks for the feedback (I am correcting it). The event loop is no real concurrency but Node's child processes and cluster enable real (multithreaded) concurrency. The event loo

Mongoose is great and should be also checked out. To get this paradigm shift and the entire experience with Node, NoSQL and especially Node in combination with Mongo the Native Driver is essential: Mongoose is great and basically an ORM (or

Seconded. Express is incredible and it's a refreshing take on anything you seen before regarding web frameworks. People saying that it's similar to Sinatra, yes maybe but the strengths lie in the details: i.e. Express" error messages are so

Some good tips, especially this one browser addon. I'd add: - Using Pomodoro with 25 min units + 5 min breaks. - Being logged in FB in your least favorite browser + checking FB in the evening only—works like a charme, you stop entering face

Great resource with tons of good advice! What worked for me: 1. Watch Ryan Dahl's intro videos to Node—he is doing the best job of explaining how Node is working and what were his thoughts back then. Highly recommended. 2. Instead of readin

As much as I like Mongo and comparisons to other DBs I doubt that your comparison does really help anyone: => I found it hard to get your message by just skimming through the blog post: the first results lack measuring units, is it requ

I wouldn't say they hate it it's just that they don't use it. Coffee isn't bad but if a slight majority of module devs don't use Coffee it doesn't make sense to use it either in order to stay interoperable with Node's entire ecosystem. Wh

Agree to all your points. Especially the pinch to zoom lock is ridiculous: The pure web is still the best UI for tablets and even for smartphones WHEN READING content. In particular the word wrap feature coming with Android's stock browser

> is it incredibly complicated? Yes it is and frustrating is that you have to read spec over spec to follow all the conventions. You can be very fast with Rails and all its gems but to get there takes time and it's no fun anymore.
