Great idea. This would be a good opportunity to experience and experiment in other technologies that don't get much spotlight. Will definitely try to get there this year!

Wow... Kudos on a great job!

Great job! All you need now is a better UI for mobiles and I'm sold :) What web technology did you choose for this?

Cute! You should add the sound of "Happiness & Zen coding" (someone coding Ruby) and the sound of "Despair" (someone coding PHP), etc. :)

I think this proves quite the opposite. As a developer, you can decide if you want to change your users' default search engine (which will probably annoy them a lot), or do anythin…

Developers always faced the annoying decision of choosing a certain browser and losing a huge chunk of other browser-users, or maintaining several branches of code that is supposed…

I would recommend the ruby test plugin which is really great: https://github.com/maltize/sublime-text-2-ruby-tests and Rails Nav: https://github.com/noklesta/SublimeRailsNav which …

The music also made a big difference. Listening to Infected Mushroom while high on Modafinil and coding up a storm made me feel like I was some kind of insane coding machine that c…

Brilliant! I remember my Computer Architecture course's Professor telling us about this article :)

Well said. I would add that for perl instead of using homebrew one can use 'perlbrew': http://perlbrew.pl/ which is a lot like RVM.

CGI isn't fun. I understand legacy code that runs on it, I don't think developing new web apps with it is the right thing to do, there are plenty of amazing frameworks which make p…

Looks awesome, always wondered if I could deploy perldancer web apps on Heroku!

You're right, but it means the project will (probably) become less stable. One less full time individual probably means less testing and might require you to use older packages or …

It's always sad to see a project failing. There are other alternatives, both to a KDE linux distro (i.e: openSUSE) and gnome/ubuntu (mint being my favorite). It's a business decisi…

This is a brilliant article. True for the most parts. However, I think that actual coding that relates to the job in discussion is important. This doesn't contradicts the idea in t…

Hilarious. I'm amazed by the fact that they didn't know what they were doing, their marketing dep. and "social media director" should have expected that.

+1 to that.

Clearly this whole script kiddies war is doing more harm than good to either sides. It's not about skills or anything anymore and it doesn't matter if these credentials or the face…

Either way, it creates panic. People would want to see if they're there. It's all about proper marketing really.

Pretty delusional if you ask me. Sadly, this whole script kiddies war is doing more harm than good to each side.

This reminds me a lot of one company I worked for. While I can understand cutting costs when the economy is bad, his last question hits the spot: "But what happens when the economy…
