Can we at least agree here that complexity implies a larger cognitive burden? I think that's a pretty benign statement to begin from regardless of the domain (programming, cooking, games, etc). A complex recipe rewards…
For various meanings of 'learn'. My point is that you can be writing useful programs in c in a weekend. Obviously said person would not be an expert, but I've watched competent programmers try to learn complex languages…
The 'magic' that you seem to pine for like is found in lets say Ruby, places a far larger mental burden on the programmer than a language like c or go. Sure, language like Haskell or Rust have a ton of great features…
'Industry Best Practice' in this case amounts to 'we will hand all of your data over to the government' if required. Abdicating responsibility for personal security to ANY 3rd party makes one less secure, period. Now,…
Stop charging for your time and start charging for the value you are providing to the business. If you implement a system that will increase revenues, you should be charging based on that value. Just because you're…
How is this even possible? All it takes is a clogged router buffer 'somewhere' along your network path and that <30ms web request is gonna get blown away. Am I missing something here? I'm probably just being…
I recommend buying a piece-of-shit Dell and putting an aftermarket SSD + memory in there. Personally, I develop on cheap Dell slammed full of RAM running a Linux VM inside of Windows. I know the 'cool' kids aren't into…
Look well-made. I've never seen that brand in any US stores unfortunately. There were a few US distributors listed but most were tiny shops.
Let me just get this in before the cries of JUST INSTALL OPENWRT come raining down. Your mother / father / grandmother / etc are not installing openWRT on their routers. Installing one of these CISCO home routers is…
I'm old enough to remember DHTML, it was terrible. It's quite remarkable how far front and back-end JS development has come since then.
Your lack of ability to google or search on your own is a bit worrisome, but I spent a few minutes doing your work for you. =) There 18k+ open source repos on github for c#:…
I haven't installed Reddit from scratch in quite some time. I just looked at the reddit github source. You can get to it from www.reddit.com/r/redditdev There appears to be an installer script now along with upstart…
True shame. Regardless of your opinion of his actions concerning JSTOR, it's undeniable he made a positive contribution to the web.
You should learn to program FIRST. It will take you 6 weeks to learn how to programming, let alone trying to build a website while doing it. There are a ton of resources online these days. I'd suggest you mainly stick…
I didn't want to let your comment stand as it suggests the fault was mine due to using an incorrect link. So, I followed the link you posted. I clicked on the navigation items, rapidly but not unreasonably so, it took…
Looks great! I've been using yeoman for a while now and this looks like a fantastic replacement / alternative. Are you looking for contributions or just releasing this for people to use?
Links to it are plastered all over this thread claiming to point to the current demo. No, I didn't share anything. For instance, here is one: https://demo2.openerp.com/#action=114 that was posted a few comments up. I've…
Technically, you got more than I did. =)
Hey there. I get that you seem to like this product. I'm not even knocking it. I'm just telling HN what I experienced with the demo they posted. As far as the product not being released... The guy is advertising a huge…
Hi. I'm on HN. I'm running the latest google chrome. I'm not going to go back and open up the developer tools to see which part of the buggy javascript UI crashed. I will say again though that the UI was throwing…
Are you serious? Sorry, I work for a company with actual revenue and profit. We make actual products, not 'social engagement'. Yes, if I brought that product demo to my management and shareholders (because they're the…
Well, that will teach me to argue with an Econ professor! And I also find myself hungry after staring at pictures of bread on google for the past 10 minutes. Thanks for the interesting discussion. =)
My apologies, I'm only an amateur statistician. I'll defer to your knowledge in that area. =) (and I'm joking here, I'm decent with the stats, just wanted to focus on the broader issue). I don't want to get bogged down…
I posted this comment to your blog as well: "I've had positive and negative experiences with pair programming. Your blog post only contains the positives. What are some of the negatives that braintree has experienced…
I'm sorry but I have to interact with non-technical managers on a regular basis. I consider it part of my job responsibilities to ensure that we are communicating using the same terminology. When I tell a client his…
