Glad to hear it. I wish you all the best.

> The 4 months of “hell” were really not that bad looking back at it now. All of this taught me a great lesson in humility and resourcefulness. It also taught me to be kind and lov…

This app just facilitates short-sighted abuse of commercial infrastructure while opening clients up to a massive security vulnerability. Doesn't surprise me one bit that this comes…

While I haven't used Angular, I have watched a live demonstration of it and was not impressed. Yes it's very boilerplate heavy and reminds me of some of the clunkier Java framework…

Bold, and beautiful!! Quick everyone, scrap all your existing frameworks and jump on the flavor of the week! Seriously though, I think it's borderline negligent to contribute any k…

Irrelevant analogy. The financial cost of choosing C# over VB is zero.

So what happened with io.js in the end? I can't keep up with the self-destruction of the industry, which should I be using, io.js or node?

Front-end development considered harmful. Every moron wants to defecate out the next best frontend framework it's a joke at this point. Front end developers have made a mockery of …

I don't think you understand how badly 10gen overmarketed Mongo as something that it isn't. I personally believe the people at 10gen deserve legal repercussions (I expect we'll see…

> …we eliminate so-called “structured programming” constructs like “for” and “if”. Only function calls, variables, and constants are allowed. The result is that we end up with some…

Lenovo going down the drain. All they had to do was continue the Thinkpad legacy left by IBM. It's honestly breathtaking how badly they've fucked up. After the touch-based function…

This bears no resemblance to react whatsoever. By taking out the render, getInitialState, componentWillMount and other lifecycle methods Riot.js completely misses the ideology behi…

Yes there is. It becomes harder to separate the wheat from the chaff.

This was really good but there were a few levels that left a bit to be desired. Some of them were basically "find a way to mash this code into these functions without exceeding the…

> incl. an acid db. Why would you want to use a database for this problem? The input data would take time to load into an ACID db and we're only interested in a single ternary valu…

Are you saying you're using a single MongoDB collection as a dumping ground for all your entities? I hope you're not building a real product that someone has to maintain.

What? When would it ever be OK to lose parts of an invoice. Mongo apologists baffle me sometimes. To anyone considering MongoDB, don't be fooled, you probably want to stick with an…

MongoDB will always be a relevant example of false advertising and over-marketing (to the point of 10gen probably opening themselves to litigation) and how we all need to stop drin…

They'll probably spend it on marketing MongoDB as a replacement to relational databases. Brainwashing isn't cheap.

PostgreSQL wants to be web scale but it will never touch MongoDB scale. MongoDB is true web scale with full cloud compatibility and horizontal scaling like how clouds spread out in…

> Yet almost everything is built with a tool that's merely good enough for the task. Which usually makes it one of the right tools. I agree with you there so long as you understand…

They aren't use cases. They are company names. Which parts of their product runs on Node.js? And have you spoken to their developers about their projects? Just because a big compan…
