There is still something to be learned from startups. I worked enterprise for most of my career and it was always the same story. Ambitious projects, large teams, lots of red tape + politics, inferior technologies; and by and large 'UX

I joke with programmer friends that we should become gardeners instead. I guess the appeal of physical labor is you get to leave work at work.

Yeah I was in total shock yesterday when I found out they are phasing out app fabric caching in favor of REDIS. Glad times are finally catching up to them, but it feels so much like Sun.. Too little, too late.

I wish startups could tackle actually making affordable home ownership a reality. This is a much larger problem for our generation than what people care to admit. Specifically, I'm wondering why there are no cheap modular houses (like

On that note, I'd throw in SPA's and REST. Thats a big conceptual difference in how apps are built nowadays and worth to get up to speed with.

Django Rest framework was not always great :) .. In fact, nowadays I prefer to use one called Django Restless. My argument is just that REST is not the type of problem that should warrant having three competing libraries (see comment above)

by dev360 11y ago
Yes thats correct. You had to pick third party libraries for these types of things, which wasn't that big of a deal since the community did a good job of rallying around good libraries. There's nothing like ruby/rails (I love

YES!!! I've been looking very carefully at this, but Elixir still feels intimidating to me. A friend of me gave me an ebook which I'm working through at the moment. For me, the jury is still out on whether I will be able to model

Thats true, but look also at costs over time.. With the fragmented approach, 3rd party frameworks have been suffering big time. How do you normalize between apps that are using multiple different ways to do REST, and how do you handle versi

I dont have experience to corroborate, but I can say I have been seeing a lot of interest in Node even from people in the enterprise crowd. Places that would ordinarily be writing stuff in Java and .NET are turning to Node instead.. This qu

Yeah, I really feel like its the 'gold standard' in framework design. Still, I look at things in Django and get angry that they were not MORE opinionated, like Rails. Like, not having a decent REST abstraction out of the box is al

by dev360 11y ago
I think it depends on what you do. I spent first half of my career ordering a la carte.. In hindsight, I ended up building a lot of crap that the framework should have provided for me. This is the major reason why I have learned to be cauti

I think that in order to start seeing the appeal, you have to have seen the alternative. Before angular, I was writing a lot of backbone apps, and generally, they were well organized and easy to maintain. With angular, I've found that
