    Don't be so sure. I think he has a good chance, but there is still inflation worries, the housing market in a double dip, and an unusually high unemployment rate. I'd say it'll tak…

    Looks great. I try just about every one of these new options. Kodapp was my last one, but it didnt last (back on textmate). I'll give this a try as well. It looks like it has even …

    Is it the same pronunciation as "viable"? Or is it phonetic "vay-a-ble"?

    Think so? It's not a word and doesn't mean anything to me. I can't imagine having to tell it to someone in person. Anytime you have to specifically spell out your startup url, I th…

    Interesting. Seems lots of similar companies doing this. Appcelerator / Sencha come to mind as I work with their products. Sencha seems to have the same arrangement as 10gen licens…

    Scss also provides pretty good syntax compatibility with CSS. All it's features are a superset on top of CSS.

    CoffeeScript "fixes" javascript in many very essential ways. The most important fix is the lack of global variables. It's all too easy to accidentally forget a var on an assignment…

    I agree with your assertion to not use your framework. Believe it or not, having an open and active user base of your framework will help you and all members. Doesn't seem like you…

    These guys produce an entire awesome startup's worth of development every couple months. Definitely need to be paying more attention to the how of what they do. Luckily Tom's quite…

    Nice, you can change the env variable POW_DOMAIN to ".local". Much better in my opinion (works better with chrome at least) EDIT: scratch that. You can't do this.

    Pretty awesome. It took a restart to get it to work, but it's great now. As a minor aside, is there a way to get Chrome to treat .dev domain the same as .com? Whenever I type in my…

    Having fought LinkedIn's APIs and dealt with their crappy developer support, I'd like to give a very big warning to anyone who might be thinking about using their platform. 1) Thei…

    Don't play their game. If you are a great dev, ask for what you are worth (100-150 an hour). Or get solid equity. Or start your own company. Don't be fooled by cheap gimmicks. You …

    Haha. Not sure if you realized this, but you are talking to the person who built the next Facebook, aka Twitter.

    I like it. I hope this gets built. Unfortunately, there's not really any more room in my menu bar. http://cl.ly/4vlI

    I'd definitely buy. Have a feeling the result would be some crappy tv though. Just a hunch.

    Flash video camera is a disaster, especially on Mac. After spending months working around its flaws, I've vowed never again to use Flash video recorder in my web apps again. Curren…

    They've been bought by AppCelerator so I highly doubt their longterm focus is going to be on Ruby. Will probably mainly be Javascript (to support Titanium Mobile)

    Yep, I think consolidation in the Ruby IDE space will be a good thing. All the super elite people are using VIM / Emacs, and all the lazy people like me are still using Textmate. I…

    You're right, I'm not really happy with my input in the thread. Obtuse is a good word for it. I doubt we have that different of an outlook. My passionate disagreement with the orig…
