About Feoh

Long time Boston area geek. Lately I'm a release engineer with a passion for process automation and infrastructure, specifically around scripting languages like Ruby, Python and various shells.

    I wish the article had a bit more meat to it. Not that this is a sin but he's just parroting things said in about 1000 other places by 1000 other people. Pen and paper good. Check.…

    I think the author has jumped to a foregone conclusion. He thinks it's all about getting releases before they're made public, and doesn't see any reasons other than that people mig…

    This has always been Dave's problem. He's a Big Idea Guy, but his implementations often end up being somewhat less than fully thought through. I say this as someone who has been fo…

    Wow, the author of this article should be the poster child for wh Google's 2 factor should be de rigeur for anyone who actually cares about the contents of their email.

    I disagree with the author on a number of levels. First and foremost, he/she's treating the editor as if its sole purpose in life is the invention of new code. This seems like a so…

    100% agreed. alttab is falling into the common geek social trap of assuming that all the world is exactly like him/her. Personally? I couldn't care less about start-ups. I'm happy …

    This article REALLY makes me wish I could turn on my Mac laptops built in camera and microphone.

    I like the article as I am also a command line junkie, but I have an issue with it. I might be being pedantic here, but the fundamental premise of the article is a falsehood. UNIX …

    This does look neat. Now, if only they'd release a bundle that includes extra free time I can use to play the games in said bundle :)

    The real issue here, as I see it, is that Apple needs to be 100% consistent about its app store approval process, and exceedingly clear when they yank an already approved app. Why …

    Have you seen the Xbox 360 Slim? Its fan is nearly silent. MUCH better than the original. Also, the power supply is much quieter as well.

    One fatal flaw with geeks is that we all think that the rest of the world thinks just like we do. 'tain't necessarily so. Most of the objections he raises in the article (e.g. Face…

    I don't think these results correlate at all to the popularity of a given programming language in use in the field. For instance, pretty much ever since the language's ascendance t…

    I didn't draw the same conclusions that others seem to be drawing from this article. Having been in the tech industry for over 20 years now, I can tell you that a company's CEO hav…

    I think you're missing Xion's point and taking the opportunity to complain about a pet peeve you have with the platform. Personally, I couldn't agree more with what he's saying. Us…

    This is a nice little cheat sheet. I sometimes wonder if the profusion of cheat sheets for Git says something about its design, in particular the human interface aspects. Few would…

    It's all about the apps, stupid. While I applaud the EUbuntu project's goals and think they're very worthy indeed, I also think they're deluding themselves if they are targeting th…

    This is by far the best entry in the "learn/don't learn to program" series!

    Teens professing a hatred of what's widely accepted? SHOCKING!

    I couldn't agree more. If nothing else, learning to code is an incredibly useful thought experiment for anyone who enjoys using their brain in new and interesting ways. So what if …

    A co-worker of mine postulates that most of this is client side Javascript, I'd be awfully curious to see how much of it is client side and how much is node.js and the like.
