So yeah, these are good advices. In fact, the OP should follow 'em if he wants to "survive".
jQuery has had pretty significant traction for 4 or so years now.
Crockford's work is extremely well-know, as well, and has been for some time now.
Minifying JavaScript and CSS files isn't new, nor are REST and HTML5.
The times did change, but it looks like he's still just catching up with where the rest of us were years ago.
Agree with half, but don't worry about: JS MVC frameworks: MVC in JS is almost always overkill. HTML5: Most of the web doesn't have support for it yet. Optimization: Sure, but don't preoptimize so rather go looking for the tools once your app tells you it's slow. Also minified JS is great to save a tiny bit of bandwidth and obfuscate, but damn it's a pain to debug your live site.
Say what? You probably meant to say "most of the internet explorer installed base doesn't have support for it" which is a far, far cry from "most of the web".
I understand the basics of REST, but I want to get a deeper understanding. Also, I still regularly encounter situations where I'm not sure what the "best" thing to do is (collections of items, linked items, etc. - how to represent this with REST?).
I'm always amazed to see how people who give advice (and good ones in this case) are totally unable to follow them on their websites. 296 http requests. 1.85mb transfered. Yslow grade D. So yeah, these are good advices. In fact, the OP should follow 'em if he wants to "survive".
"And a disclaimer – don’t look at the source code of my web page – I rarely work on that, and is using an old blogger template. lol"

Web development is pretty much code once, fix everywhere.
Is CoffeeScript a higher abstraction level from JavaScript? Whenever I've taken a casual look at coffeescript I came away with the impression it was just syntax sugar.
Does anyone have any recommendations for good REST books? For example, the book cited in the article - is it good? I understand the basics of REST, but I want to get a deeper understanding. Also, I still regularly encounter situations where I'm not sure what the "best" thing to do is (collections of items, linked items, etc. - how to represent this with REST?).
Earlier quoted context omitted.
What's the value of humility in the professional world? Honesty, integrity, credit where credit is due, etc, but an overdeveloped sense of humility is the best way to go unrecognized, at least in America.
I've always regarded microsoft's mvp initiative as a corny-douchey surrogate for a thriving, healthy grassroots movement.
You might consider that for some people, that little logo might actually mean something. Whether it does for you isn't important. After all, your immature reaction and comment is far worse in my eyes then any offense the author of the article committed. Not that you'll care.
