I think this only applies to people implementing their apps using SOA as pat of cargo cult thinking like was mentioned in the article. I ran a company with 4 employees. 3 developer…

I couldn't agree more about the mass market being morons. It's hard to say and not often said so bluntly in public though. Not because it's untrue but because the person saying it …

I don't see a need for the snark. I don't see this as a troll question at all. Python is obviously thriving for scientific programming but it's not hard to tell that the question b…

But this is specifically marketed toward developers and designers. So my question is are there really enough of those developers and designers interested in a WYSIWYG took or would…

Is there a big market for WYSIWYG apps for developers? I think this is a great application but might it be better targeted toward non-technical people? Remember iWeb? This reminds …

I'd argue the barrier is just as high. I taught a ten week course in back end development and I think the students would have done equally well deploying on a VPS or Heroku. The cu…

I think it sums up the Beginner Community in general, not the JS community. You see this with beginners in everything.

No SQLite isn't heavy but I hope you mean for use in development only. The issue isn't MongoDB is bad and relational DBs are awesome. The real issue is new developers being taught …

This is great but it really only applies to SPAs. I know single pagers are all the rage these days but it often makes a lot of sense to structure your application in a hybrid way w…

CSS is not a programming language. You can't think about it the same way you'd think about your backend code or even client side JS. The global namespace is by design. It's a featu…

These are all great ideas. The only thing I don't like about these types of projects/guidelines is the almost religious, strict adherence to them that some people who pick them up …

They won't do it on their own because there's really no incentive to make this information easily accessible. Healthcare is like Microsoft and Oracle in the 90's. Everyone wants yo…

Having done exactly this type of integration with legacy systems I think a point that gets glossed over is that it's the startups themselves who are full of engineers who think tha…

I disagree. I can relate to application setup and deployment feeling like its a fragile, error prone process but library usage in general is a good thing. Now if you're picking up …

I don't see the benefit. It seems no easier on the eyes than JSON and it's more complex with more syntax rules to learn. I wouldn't recommend this for either humans or machines. HJ…

Haven't tried it. I don't think I would as its a SASS project and I prefer LESS. My initial thought just upon glancing the readme was that it seems a bit bloated. Starts out with s…

I've been using this as the basis for my typographic styles for maybe a year now. My only problem with it has been the spacing between paragraphs and headings. I find myself using …

Most people don't disable JavaScript but beyond that edge case (I consider JS disabled an edge case) I agree that this architecture isn't necessary and overused. A single page app …

Great suggestions for non-technical people in there but if a real concern is ownership and control of content then the only real option is buying or renting server space and puttin…

The process is the same for those with sleep apnea who aren't overweight. Like me. I weigh 155 and an 6' tall. Born with a small airway and just got lucky it seems. So if your poin…

Is there no alternative that saves users' data? Of course there is. But you probably don't want to put anything sensitive into any of them. There's no shortage of bare bones Everno…

> Developers shouldn't have to sacrifice their rights to speak and innovate freely just to bring their applications to millions of Apple users. Ummm... Is this really why they deve…

I doubt and don't think they should feel threatened. If I were them I wouldnt be guarding my application because it's a very simple and easy to replicate concept. The real value is…
