Why do these kind of tools have tendency to appear on HN about a month too late? :)

When we got our first child, my wife also went on a sharing spree , trying to put everything on Facebook. When I noticed that we had a long talk where I explained to her that even a newborn deserves his own privacy, just as us adults do an

Excellent, just did the same thing about a month ago (for https://codeable.io ). We wanted to use Rails 4 but Active Admin didn't want to play nicely, so I looked around (and checked it's dependencies) and came to the s

I'm sad to see this happen as Ryan not only produces great screencasts but shows the trends and popular gems along the way. I respect his decision, though - I know what burnout feels like and it's the biggest mental burden one can

This is the second time in a week I have read about people refusing to go through security scanners, and then complaining about being treated differently . You should really put yourselves into security guards' skins here; What if you

I'd say one of PHP's biggest flaws is that it's just too easy to get started. One might argue that's not a flaw, but it is - it allows junior developers to dig right into the code without knowing the basics of how web wo

SaaS Compass is also a poor choice if name IMHO. To me it looks like another CSS preprocessor or the like (Because Sass and Compass both are)

I totally agree with what you have written - but thinking this way also has one significant caveat: If you become available to the child whenever she seeks eye contact, she might get used to that (spoiled) and even extort you for interactio

Can you provide a link? (I know it's not going to help, but curious about your startup)

You caught me off guard :) Our blog is currently being moved to another URL and redesigned to match our new brand, feel free to send me an email tomaz [at] codeable [dot] io - and I'll reply once it's back up.

We're currently undergoing a complete frontend re-write (after we have proved with prototype we can make money) using Angular and I must say it's been an emotional rollercoaster with plenty of love and hate, but at the end of the

Very useful, I think I'll implement this inside of an exception handler :)

excellent point... if you want to live like a flower. Some of us prefer going to places, trying new things, meeting new people, having a family and hobbies. And all those things cost money. When I'm old I'd rather say I'm br

Not judging the book by it's cover, but MariaDB doesn't do the DB any justice with this crappy name.

Exactly. One has to wonder why they didn't go with this approach if it's a valid and proven business model.

Yeah, Microsoft really sucks at storytelling. All they had to say was something in the lines of... "If you want to buy a disc, pay $59 for a game due to all non-digital crap the disc has to go through. And then do what you want with it

I actually skipped Bootstrap for one single reason: everyone uses it. That's not a bad thing per-se, but the problem is that developers don't bother changing anything so each Bootstrapped site looks exactly as the next. That's why I chose

81. Surf someone else’s wave. Following this advice only gets you dependent on that someone (if I understood the point correctly). So if they go down (read: limit/lock their API, like Twitter did), you go too.
