I have to admit that my first thought was, "Yawn, yet another social something-something," but then I read the blog post and was pleasantly surprised. I might just sign up. Btw., t…

Gonna answer this one myself: Seems http://www.sqlobject.org/ might be a good alternative.

"productivity is equally as important" Node has a lot of good features, but programmer productivity isn't one of them currently. There are close to zero full-featured frameworks wi…

'With Node and a framework like Express, you can understand things at the level of "let me look at this HTTP request and decide how to respond to it."' Sure, but roughly the same k…

Flask seems nice and simple until you need to access a database such as MySQL. With SQLAlchemy it seems like there's a lot more code needed just to perform simple CRUD operations, …

I like the idea of using a web-based interface for tasks that are normally done in framework code: Altering data structure/models, etc. Drupal already has this (CCK), but it's not …

I didn't say they sell our data (although I honestly can't say for sure, since there are a number of things Google employees aren't allowed to talk about). I'm talking about the fa…

Beats me how anyone would use a computer where both the OS, browser, and major applications are made by the same company - a company whose living depends on making huge databases a…

This is one of the reasons why I'm moving away from Gmail and starting to use a European email provider.

Slightly irrelevant fact of the day: Tigger means "beggar" in Danish.

For smaller projects CodeIgniter is great. It's simple to learn and use, and has excellent documentation (better than Kohana's).

> (can't believe I used to use pure PHP!) Actually, pure PHP (I assume by "pure" you mean "with no framework") is the safest of all, providing that the programmer is experienced. H…

I agree with your stance on Symfony, but it's important to realize that not every PHP framework is like that. Symfony adds a lot of complexity that doesn't necessarily mean lower d…

Exactly - Azure is more like Google App Engine than AWS.

> Check out http://jobs.hasgeek.in/ That's an awesome interface!

Sure, alright, but that's supposed to mean faster servers and a smaller footprint, and since one or two people here mentioned that Node doesn't really live up to that, my question …

So what's done best with Node?

Anyone know which framework the sites mentioned by the commenters use? Geddy? Express?

There was an important question I couldn't find an answer to on the site: What happens when the user clicks the fake button? It wasn't until I clicked on the sign-up buttons for th…
