Yep. Awful food. Not, "awful Indian food". Awful by any standard. I don't think the founders had any experience with food before doing Tava.

There's a VC funded Indian burrito joint in Palo Alto. I've eaten lunch there three times, once with a potential investor. Food's terrible to boot.

http://github.com/bitemyapp/neubite/ There's a CMS, for starters.

Noir is deprecated, use vanilla ring + libnoir or Luminus.

Would be great if not for the CPS. I end up doing something similar except with Clojure instead of Node.js for my projects lately.

Take a look at Luminus.

Recently left Heroku, too many failures. The last week I had my app on Heroku availability was in the realm of ~60-80%. Between that and the obscenely slow and overpriced Postgres.…

Carthago delenda est: when are you re-releasing the software you yanked from your Github?

Are you going to re-release the stuff you yanked off your github?

CL is Common Lisp. The go-to for Clojure is Luminus, which is less of a framework and more of a "web best practices" project template.

Just use http://serverbear.com/ and be liberated from blog spam like this.

They're not saturated yet. DO's CPU performance has generally been worse than Linode's in benchmarks and that was before the recent Linode upgrade so they're probably even further …

Then this is even sillier, SoftLayer non-dedi is pointless, they're notorious for being overpriced as a brand.

It's not as good as Python yet but rapidly getting better. There's an excellent SQL abstraction library (Korma), Ring makes for a nice WSGI equivalent, Compojure and Clabango combi…

I use DigitalOcean but this is silly. 1. SoftLayer is well known for being over-priced. 2. They have a startup program you can use to get like $10k in credits. 3. DigitalOcean isn'…

More powerful language (primitives, concision, macros), more performance (JVM fun-ness). Some aspects of the JVM (slow-start) are icky but the tooling works around it (in-runtime a…

The beauty of concurrency in Clojure: ; Rough sketch: def defines a var (pretend it's a reference) ; @ is used to dereference the future and block to wait for the result. (def f (f…

Clojure, I used to do Python with Django or Flask. HTML/CSS aren't optional so I don't know why you included that in the list. I've tried Node.js, hated it.

I prefer Clojure/Ring if I'm going to be doing web stuff on the JVM, but if I had to pick between those two, I'd go with Play. I don't think either is a terrible choice though.

Bodil Stokke is a good person to follow in general (on Github and Twitter) if you're into Clojure. The name made me chuckle. The Hindley-Milner actually makes seeing where the type…

Is this a coping mechanism for dealing with burnout for you?

That was incredible. Thank you for sharing this.

Friction + capability + turtles all the way down.
