Very, very nice. Why has it taken this long for jQuery UI to get a quality theme like this?

Now more than ever, give vim + rails.vim a try. You won't bother with bloated IDE's anymore.

You're an idiot if you're not using rvm by now.

My thoughts exactly...I'm sure he'll be carrying extra weight but I still don't see how this is possible given a certain terminal velocity, like you said. *Edit...wikipedia says cu…

The author isn't factoring in HOW the company writes software...it's not just about what language a company uses. That's a small piece of the puzzle. What if the company uses an ag…

If your company is obligated to follow regulations like those set forth in something like PCI standards, then devs will certainly not have access to production. Otherwise, good pra…

"It will be months or even years before you are a productive Rails programmer." Doesn't that fly in the face of the definition of Rails?

You're asking this question on a site that is "startup focused" which means they aren't going to have a team of 20 developers churning out java byte code...they're going to be usin…

This still rings true even today with JEE development...I long for the day I can write ruby for a living.

Peter Cooper rocks!

"Left handed death-grip"? Ah those damn left-handed idiots, always screwing stuff up for everybody else. ;)

I give him an "A" for effort but the higher the vote does not always equal the most interesting. Take yesterday for example...the old spice twitter feed. Wtf?

I must have missed something...how did we jump from questioning Visual Studio to the conclusion that Ruby and .Net developers are solving problems in different domain spaces? There…

I don't know...IE9 isn't close to being released is it?

Sounds more like a competitor to the other eink readers. All I want is a good eink reader anyway. I don't care about videos, touch-screen, internet, 3G...just give me an eink reade…

Excellent point. lojjic, you should illustrate that in the docs somewhere.

No, that strictly depends on how you've designed your site. To have your site look the best in ALL browsers, make subtle use of CSS3 effects. Don't _rely_ on them. If you follow th…

Awesome points. But keep in mind though that the IE team has really stepped up lately with IE9. IE will no longer be this cancer to web devs anymore. Let's stop wasting the time to…

Yes, I've heard that argument. I even worked at a company that was locked down to IE6...I know all about it. But again...we're talking about adding overhead to a site JUST for eye …

Yes, it's javascript overhead you have to add to your site so that people using IE will be able to see CSS3-like effects. So why add the overhead just so users of IE can have round…

A question though...why? If people don't care to update IE, do you think they care about rounded boxes, shadows and gradients? IE9 is supposed to support all this, I think. Let the…

I saw this in Money mag a couple of months back and thought it was silly...but apparently going old-school is not only cheaper but better quality as well. I think I might try it. h…

Wait...6 weeks to become conversant in Ruby? A recent engineering grad (from a top ten school no less) even takes the time to post this question? Why not do a quick google search o…
