Some ideas for getting going: 1. Find a local repeater and jump in! Before long you'll hear a topic you know about and can contribute to the discussion. I learned about #4 and #5 below like this. 2. Most areas have some kind of daily c

I think you and I are actually not far apart on this at all. Everything you mentioned Django does well. And so does Rails. And I sorely miss the beauty of Django admin in the world of SPA's.

I've already put about 10x the effort (based on character count) into answering the question than the person put into asking it. I wasn't actually attempting to cover all the bases; that'd be a few books and blog articles. I

Two answers for you: 1) don't-- instead learn about making single page apps on the front end using React and Redux, or perhaps Angular 2. Then write a REST backend in either Node, Go, Python, or C#. Or go serverless and write the back

The moon breaks up in the opening sentences of the book. But the realization that it'll destroy the planet doesn't come for some time later. That part is a bit of a spoiler. But the moon blowing up just can't be good for the

Surely a next step should be a JavaScript interpreter, then self hosting, then running Windows and Linux in a cross compiled VM.

I need to segment the db into two sections: a section the client can update, and another section that only the protected business logic can update. It's doable, but more difficult than the traditional setup. Also when I started this p

I'm moving to a combination of 2 things: [1] Cosmos DB for data storage, and [2] Service Fabric for the things that require real-time collaborative logic. An example of what I mean by #2 is things like real-time discussions where cont

Sounds a bit harsh. He's suggesting securities law is a good place to start; a reasonable thing that adds something to the discussion. Consider hiring a paralegal to research the issue for you and write you a well-documented brief to m

The lack of money "accumulates" because you always have a chance to receive money, but when you run out of money you cannot give more. So there is a lower cap but no more upper cap. In the real world this is even worse. Once you

You made a lot of insightful point here, but I'd like to chime in on one important point: > - Unless you have full time DBAs, do use a managed db like RDS, so you don't have to worry about whether you've setup the backups

Excellent advice. Get sleep. Exercise. Eat well. See a psychiatrist; its very possible a single visit and prescription could make a radical difference in your life. Meditation/mindfulness, read the book "10 percent happier"
