#3He mentions using (1) vi or emacs instead of (2) Textmate or notepad. I wasn't aware that one could use (2) in place of (1). How is that done? Does one need to SFTP a text file from the server to a client GUI OS, modify it, and then SFTP it back?

It involves installing a binary on your remote server which always seems insecure as balls to me.

#9Did I misunderstand something, or does this article just list all the reasons it's a bad idea to be a JavaScript developer? (apart from the 99 reasons that is JavaScript itself)
basically: you use a language that is the envy of noone, to work with things like web browsers, the DOM and CSS. Anyone would want good money to do that...

sshfs can make remote directories appear local. It's not the cleanest thing in the world, but it can work. sshfs can be had using mac ports.
