This one was mentioned by Homakov on Twitter I think. Though I would love to have it wrap the responder instead.

Or he could have pointed at his eyes making a sunglass shape and the agent happened to be glancing over the cars really quick. I don't know, this is too conspiratorial for me and it should not diverge from the real issue at hand.

Good question. I would say it varies, but after all they are mostly likely not changing things dramatically, at least thats what you get from watching talks from both companies[1]. [1] http://www.slideshare.net/jduff/ho

I fully agree. I usually have a fun time going from method to method just exploring any of the implementations in that library. Josh Bloch (One of the writers of the library I think) uses a lot of examples from the Java collections in his b

So you won't love the idea of access to knowledge for millions of people unless you can be able to contribute to that knowledge? (assuming it's as hard as you say). Either you didn't not phrase it correctly or this is a rem

Number 1 can be easily dealt with if both parties categorize changes. We do this with git all the time no? No one reviews my "Fix some typos" commit.

If you dont mind me asking, what hype are you referring to? I think a lot of people are correct in assuming that Rails is a good solution for a large (largest?) class of web applications, from cruds to crud+some ajax and so on. We know fo

Not everyone is familiar with/wants to set up git or github for mac. Remember that git users are a tiny minority among those who have or want a static site.

I have heard they basically no longer want to be a web company but rather a service company. This means they could have lots of interesting ideas in the works.

I am about to join oDesk as a freelancer. Coming out of college, I have basically limited experience behind me (internships, personal projects). Any advice you have for me about how to grow in the platform?

A layer is not a good idea from a business point of view in my opinion, given how most websites (Facebook, Twitter with their API changes, Spotify with their new messaging system and so on) are trying to lock you in. Maybe simply build a wa
