Spot on sir. I up voted the both of you as this is a huge irk or mine as well. Say what you mean, don't just rehash phrases you've heard before! This says a lot about how much thought we put into what we're saying and hearing, as I've seen

I'm very interested in this "unschooling" technique. I've heard a little bit about it before and it's really peaked my curiosity. Would you be willing to chat further about this?

I was home schooled and raised around a variety of people of all ages. I do not have handicapped social skills simply because I didn't interact on a daily basis with my peers, most of the time I was forced to interact with adults.

Indeed, this could have been handled with understanding and tact, instead they throw their weight around. Google should be willing to support people who support their platform in my opinion. Why not have the lead of the Android team approac

ohhh, I like #2. To expand on it, you could "invite your friends" to join you!

Honestly, when I'm at a coffee shop, I normally don't want strangers walking up and starting conversations with me, because I'm normally working. I think this is a good way to basically take down your "Do not disturb" sign.

Why not a simple "Tell them how to find you" field, and let the user type in their own quick criteria. "Ask the person behind the counter for me, they know me", "sitting in the comfy armchair by the door with my laptop and xyz headphones on

I like the concept a lot, I'm not so sure on the small and dotted border. I think the small text could possibly work without the border though, for some reason it just distracts me. Really cool concept though.

hahaha, I can handle being misguided if I get to release two successful business ventures in my life. In any case, I'm not arguing with you on the popularity of the two for sure, but I am happy MS is deciding to get their act together and r

It's not anecdotical evidence, it was in question of this: "Until then I doubt anyone in their right mind would trust the creator of Internet Explorer and IIS with anything web related." So, from what I can gather, Spolsky and Attwood are:

Indeed, everyday I'm using this wishful thinking thing in hopes they won't give me a COBOL project that day. :(

moe, what do you think of stackoverflow.com? That's running on MVC with a complete Microsoft stack. EDIT: Also might be worth mentioning they use the BizSpark program.

Yes, yes of course it's a matter of personal opinion. How much time have you spent in VS though, out of curiosity? I worded that post very poorly, but the point still stands that the integration, power and seamless feel to debugging in VS i

I feel your pain, the company I got my programming start with was locked into the Microsoft stack already so I was really motivated to use .NET to get a leg up. And yes, I honestly can't stand webforms, the other person that replied here wa

No I agree, I would prefer not to work in .NET for my personal development honestly, but I do know that like my shop, some corporations or small businesses are already locked into the Microsoft stack, and won't consider something like Rails

Everyone fails to mention now much more advanced and nicer developing in VS is compared to any other platform. It's worth the money for a copy if you're a serious developer looking to use .NET, it's worth it even more now that there is litt

I agree, they both seem to be great frameworks, I've used rails and love it, and I've planned a project to learn Django with as it's peaked my interest. Why can't we all enjoy the differences and enjoy them for different reasons? Do we spre

haha, it's not so black and white for me. I can't swear loyalty to any one platform because I'm too curious not to try them all. I LOVE working in .NET, it has taught me a lot, I don't want to switch away from it....on the same note I LOVE

I think his optimism comes from what he has experienced as an average annual growth over the life of the market, I haven't checked the figures myself though. I often wondered why Dave Ramsey wasn't more popular with HN, he promotes starting

Grocery delivery charge? You mean to say you can have your groceries delivered to your door on a regular basis? I want that!

Depends, what qualifies me as being on the Microsoft stack? My day job deals with .NET to COBOL/JCL, my free time I spend with Rails and supporting other peoples poorly written php(grr...), on OSX, not in Windows....so I don't think I'm alr

Spot on. Even with proper auth rules it would still trouble me knowing I had my source exposed to the world. I'm a big fan of exports and now, thanks to you and masskin(sp?), really digging the symlinks idea.

The bizspark program is definitely nice, but for people like me who do freelance work for other people on the side it's not a viable solution, I recall a limited number of years in business, and something along the lines of being a startup,

I use Ruby/Rails, LAMP, haven't tried Django yet but I already have a project planned out for it. In my limited experience, I find nothing is quite as nice as VS for a development environment. I enjoy the other frameworks just as much, but

Ah, that kind of stinks about the unlocking function not being there. Only thing I can think of is that if your business is growing so you need upgrades, at least your business is growing? haha. I can definitely see why this could be a pote

Understood, it's probably just the knowledge divide that makes certain things more valuable than others. I'm not a sysadmin, I know enough to get around and get things done and learn to do them properly, but the guides certainly help at tim

For web development, why do you need more? What are the limitations? Also, have you run into this before? I would imagine they would offer straight upgrades or "unlocking" of the web editions to upgrade, is this not the case?

Because the .NET framework actually is a nice development environment? Especially with MVC? I'm interested in it, as I am forced to use VB @ work (no, I don't like VB, I'd much rather use C# on the .NET platform, and I do when I do personal

To my knowledge the "web" editions (used them before, briefly) are just trimmed down fluff removed copies. They're built specifically for serving web content and don't have quite as many services and features installed as you would expect f

For what it's worth I've never had any of the problems you've mentioned. Otherwise I wouldn't be posting such a glowing review. I think documentation + instant communication with the community is a strong point for any company as well, hone
