Terrible article in my opinion teaching some really bad habits that will cause hard to find bugs over time. Truth is, omitting semi-colons is probably fine at smaller scale, but for larger javascript code base with multiple maintainers, it

Quote from pg: "For some reason I didn't check the comments after the surgery to see if they were in the right place. I must have been distracted by something." Short answer to your question: Test the fix after deploying it on production :)

I've gone that route in the past, and truth is it's painful to run rails on windows (albeit not impossible). The main issue I ran into was that some gems (libraries) rely on native extensions that are not available on Windows. HOWEVER, ther

Moved to SF recently, and was looking for a place with roommate. It was EXTREMELY hard to get anytime, and demand was insane. I ended up renting a 2 bed room apartment from a complex, and posted an ad looking for roommates on Craigslist. Th

I often feel the same way, and at times even feel wrong thinking it given my $$, job, and status. I almost feel ungrateful feeling that way, but that's beside the point. In my case, I tend to feel like a loser when I'm exhausted from doing
