I'm right there with you, I agree completely. Not to get pedantic but when I read "who cares if it's professional or not" I kind of cringed. I mean, professionalism is important no…

I'm wondering how far this goes and how it affects other areas of life. So you've branded yourself with a new middle name that's either made up or a variation on your real one. So …

Thanks for coming in and expressing your dislike of PHP. You offer something we surely haven't heard a thousand million times before from other random trolls. Which languages make …

So the author is right and I really enjoyed reading this as I've got myself one of those shiny ideas and I can relate but then when he gets to the part about prototyping I get angr…

I laughed when you mentioned a black gradient header and helvetica for body copy making Bootstrap sites obvious. I mean, that is pretty generic when you say it like that but at the…

Getting functional programming from PHP and Smarty are two very different things. I don't know how people shoehorning PHP into the functional paradigm is an example of the inner pl…

Are you really going to trot out that old link? I read that and have seen it linked a thousand times here. Go love or hate whatever you want but i've had enough with this php snobb…

We get it, man. PHP sucks, you're cool/smarter/better because you use something else, and you need to remind us all about it by jumping in every time the letters P-H-P are seen in …

The link sent me to Yahoo Finance which had a headline that didn't include about 99% of the words in the headline here. Oh well, my mistake.

Hey, Tikhon, we know you're proud of Parse and you really should be because it's awesome but taking liberties with a headline like you did there might not be so cool. It can be tak…

Back in the old days your comment would've been in the top spot here (despite what my profile says, I lurked for far longer so I do remember). Now, as of this writing you're at 3. …

You politely ask people not to get pedantic then the majority of the discussion becomes pedantry. Instead of replying one by one I'll lump a lot of responses here. 1. The millimete…

As you can tell, I don't know much about guns. You've got a point but I can honestly say I can trust a judge, prosecutor, or a 5 month old to tell the difference between MegaUpload…

That's very paranoid. Occam's razor, my friend. They were probably going to do this anyway with timing being a coincidence. People give the US government too much credit for planni…

That's too simplistic. Lets take the example of a gun. The gun industry makes a product that can be used for intentional harm or for protection. One company sells a 35mm handgun to…

I like to always make the point that users are spoiled and have an awful sense of entitlement when it comes to the web but in this case I can't say I blame the users. It's really i…

I'm really happy to see the, charging right from the get-go. I've seen a lot of my friends build a simple app that they want to make a little side income with but they usually make…

I get what you're saying and I'm on board but the way you put it left kind of a bad taste in my mouth. It came across just a little bit like you haven't considered that you can jus…

Way to read into it. That was totally beside the point. The point was just to specialize. The example pitch was exactly that; an example.

I think we all knew this already. But now now does this article count as startup advice? If so, do we not take it seriously either? In all seriousness though, we should take startu…

As a developer I too a, disappointed by Twitter's move to restrict API access as it has but again, still as a developer, I can understand Twitter's point of view and I'll actually …

"I prefer Python". Why did you say that? To me it feels like you said it do people would take you seriously as a "real" developer. Because surely a "real" developer wouldn't actual…

It looks great actually! What kills ,e about Microsoft though is that, especially recently, they've done a great job in making their sites, OS, and software quite pretty but they s…

Maybe you should. The creator of Chocolat is in a position where he obviously has to charge to help him survive. Just because another piece of software that's equally or more power…
