Yep, this is exactly what I do. Though I will start collaborating on a private project beginning June and I am not sure how Bitbucket fares in that regard? Any experience with that?

Recommending Javascript the Good Parts to Javascript beginners is like recommending Effective Java to Java beginners. It is assumed you know some js/java and preferably have written some of it so that the patterns and antipatterns descr

Great talk. Does anyone know how I can get that inline complier Jeremy was using? I don't use Coffeescript just yet but I figured that could be useful when I decide to pick it up.

Yep, your situation is very similar. Can I email you somewhere?

I tried those posts three times now and they did not work for me. Not even a phone interview. Sure I am a recent grad (this december) who comes from a developing country (visa issues) and I lack open source experience, but my internship was

Yes because it does not make sense to pass it to some commands. For instance, what would `gem list --no-rdoc --local` mean? You will get a lot of invalid option errors.

This will run these options for every gem command though. Better restrict it to install and update.

I am sure they aren't and I did not mean to suggest they are. When it comes to what backend to hook your static stuff to, it's just a matter of personal preference. All I am saying is that its harder in some parts of the world where Wordpre

Please keep your comments in place, especially when you receive feedback. If you couldn't contact the person you were trying to give advice to, I suggest you write a post about it rather than inject a piece of text only to delete it an hour

One small issue dev friends I talk to still face is pricing and the need to convince clients that a move to a ruby or js based tech stack vs Wordpress is worth it. In the country where I live, wordpress is far, far cheaper to host than anyt

Another technologically progressive entity I think is Al Jazeera English, especially their mobile app where you can watch the channel live and their nice integration with Youtube.

I do something similar, but only for historic reasons. Back when I started playing with unix (3 years ago), I was learning cron jobs and I had one output "yo" to me everyday at 651 PM. My system Yo's me ever since.

I know, but hosting only your assets there is frowned upon. I think I saw that on a tech talk about GitHub.

Doesn't GitHub ban people who hotlink to assets? I remember reading this somewhere.

Great question. I would usually prefer server side validation, and with the nice integration that Rails provides between form errors and validations on the model, I am not sure how I can use this. Does anybody who uses a Rails stack combin

I always thought a community based, crowd-sourced effort to translate technical terms is a good idea. I will be happy to team up on this if anybody is interested.

I would recommend Alex Maccaw's javascript Web Applications . Sure it's about Javascript, but how really big can your HTML/CSS get before you modularize? :) What I like about the book is that it explains the fundamentals of MVC in a framew

This is fantastic advice for someone who wants to contribute to the open source community for the first time (I am fresh out of college and have zero contributions; most of my work, a long internship and school stuff, are all closed source)

Doesn't this assume all your potential tasks fall in one category or lead to one big goal like an inportant client project or something? What happens if two sets of tasks are unrelated, like dealing with kids vs projects? How do you keep th

You know writing out their function does not make them longer. ;) I agree with the parent because my left pinky is always on capsLock (my ctrl; I swapped caps with ctrl) so a ctrol ap is far easier than to go to shift + 1 twice(to type !).
