A few thoughts: 1. Great idea! I use Pomodoro a lot, and find it really helpful. 2. Honestly, I'm offending at the word Fuck and Shit, and I would never use a product that was swearing at me.

Exactly: that's the part I'd like to see a rebutted (if there is a rational rebuttal). The ad-hoc nature of their pricing model seems crazy.

Read it this weekend: I'd love to see a response from the health care industry that wasn't hand waiving. If he's right on 50% of his facts, it is disgusting how the system works.

If you can look past DHH being DHH, his points are valid. That said, I think he missed the main thrust of Yahoo's decision: they are looking to increase collaboration, and they believe face-to-face collaboration is more advantageous than re

I used to think this was a drawback. Then I started using Python full time four years ago. Significant white space encourages readability, and readability (IMHO) encourages maintainability. There are a numbers of things to dislike about Pyt

Most of the posts I've seen about RethinkDB focus on "hey, we're a better NoSQL solution than MongoDB." That could be true, but so far I see it mostly coming from RethinkDB themselves, or people who like the design in theory. However, does

Just curious, as a non-DDG user: what features are you using that are saving that much time?

This reminds me a lot of the discussions I was having 12 or 13 years ago about developing a website. "You want me to pay how much for a website?!?!? My cousin can do that for 1/10th of that you're quoting." Today, the difference between the

Opinionated BDFLs tend to elicit opinionated feedback. Rails (DHH) and Linux (Linus) tends to have similar levels of "drama" or whatever you want to call it. However, is that a bad thing? DHH and Linus have a lot of passion, and produce a g

A few thoughts: * Odds are _those_ jobs _aren't_ coming back, these are probably some sort of _new_ type of job. Given Cook's operations background, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple is leveraging their cash/think different attitude to try

Maybe, but the we'd need incredibly better tools than what we have today. Git was a vastly better tool, which enabled us to reshape the culture around how we managed code. Test-driven development is a culture that lacks git-level tools.

I remember attending an OSCON session on git vs. Subversion back in 2006 or 2007. The presenter's thesis was basically that git was more efficient than subversion when it came to branching. Near the end he walked through the distributed nat

"In these languages you can "deploy" the solution by just unzipping files into a folder. Django and Rails need a lot more work." Totally agree with this. It also smells like an opportunity for someone. In the age of Heroku, it feels like th

I agree there isn't any real insight. I've often wondered, however, how a (relatively) lower profit margin would affect Apple. They seem to be banking the profits at this point. So, would the net effect just be $10B less in the bank, or wou

"This will transform absolutely nothing on the web for many years to come." Yes, a better title would have been "5 APIs that will transform the Web in 2023" or maybe "5 APIs that will transform the Web in 2018" but that's not sexy enough. H

django-grappelli is very nice. However, something like Bootstrap has a lot more going for it in terms of a ecosystem, which would be a really nice side effect if it was brought into Django.

The headline is sensational, and Mongodb support is a poor yardstick. And, using Rails as _the_ benchmark is another poor choice. That said, as a full-time Django developer, the headline resinated with me, although I can't put my finger on
