I thought this conversation was great until the downvote happened. So far, the opinions that have been expressed here are pretty good, it got even better when someone that had actu…

Please please please support Java in all of its glory and let me get rid of Eclipse!!!!!!

Interesting, mine focused very much on higher level stuff like predicate logic and set theory.

A solid computer science education would have helped him understand this. Not required for a 'normal' programmer but the more interesting parts of our trade exist in Computer Scien…

I currently work with a few very popular B2C ecommerce platforms and none of them have made the move to this sort of thing yet, the best we've got is Spring MVC with AJAX.

This is the best answer I've received to my concerns. You're predicting that people will move from backend to frontend for the MVC layer (or w/e will come next) and this is why you…

This functionality is already provided via AJAX. There's no need for me to put the whole MVC later on the client side to achieve this. You don't need to pull a whole page down to g…

So what's the point of making the MVC portion of the application client side when I can just use Spring MVC (or similar) and keep to the same tech stack that the rest of the projec…

This feels like a pretty HN style answer. Is Ember worth learning? Let's see. It adds no value over anything that we already use or what I see being used elsewhere. It's just anoth…

So you think that client side JS web apps are 'the way to go'. What's wrong with server side MCV web applications? How does Ember.js in the clients browser scale when you have a a …

No mention of my other criteria I see. Money is an important part of a career. Weddings, houses and children cost money. So the idea is that Ember may serve to fix one particular p…

Is Ember.js actually worth learning? Will it make me a better programmer (like learning Haskell will)? Will it enable me to get a pay rise from my current £480 per day contracting …

I'm saying that this isn't necessarily a great idea, just because it's working for this guy now that doesn't mean we understand it and it could be dangerous.

We'll come back to this story in a few years where your friend has died of some sleep deprivation / exhaustive illness.

Yes, many contractors make very good use of Linkedin to speak with recruiters.

OMFG YOU'RE TOTALLY RIGHT. The op should have just started an insurance industry disrupting medical insurance startup rather than get paid to work at an already established insuran…

Can we stop talking about Ruby programmers as if they are equal to people doing real programming?

Somewhat ironically, he misspelled the word misspelled....

If what you say about the gov seizing money is true, why wouldn't they try and take some sort of legislative control over BTC? Why wouldn't they make it illegal or do some other th…

I was in Madrid three weeks ago for work. I took my clients out to dinner and had to pay in cash... It happens often. The GDP of the country has little to do with credit card use. …

I've been to Spain multiple times. A lot of places didn't even take credit card. Good luck getting people to use an internet currency. Bitcoin is not ready for prime time yet. I ca…

In the interest of not being a coward and deleting what I previously said... I just read his 'about me' section and feel a tiny bit humbled..... not massively though.

The disclaimer at the bottom of the page says it all: "(Obviously these opinions are my own and of course do not represent the opinions of my future employer)" He has no real world…

For Java Enterprise / Spring development (or even some of the more lightweight stuff), this editor does not match up to what Eclipse offer. I want / need to see when dependencies i…
