The speech bubble by the way is a way to video chat from the browser itself. It uses WebRTC which is already in modern browsers so its not like they've added a ton of code to get that feature baked into the browser. Not sure why you sa

Sorry, I'm not a Coffeescript user so I'm familiar with its idioms. I looked up the Coffeescript website and it says: > As a shortcut for this.property, you can use @property. It also said that since March 2010 according to the

Well that adds a much needed bit of context to the conversation. Someone decided to use undocumented behaviour in a production application and got bit. Worded as such it doesn't make Coffeescript to sound so ridiculous.

You have to admit that it feels very out of place here on HN. I wouldn't have minded it as much if it wasn't so long and including some detailed issues OP faced with Mongo.
