Modern spring is amazing. Look into it. It's no longer the configuration hell it was 10 years ago. Everything is convention Over configuration. It's easy to run and configure.

I love spring boot. I use two databases and solr. It's easy. And fun.

So I've been a longtime public speaker and I've also worked on websites, mostly big, for about 13 years. One of the things that I get annoyed about are talks with too much fluff and not enough real code that the audience can use. So I got t

WillyF, the last comment was a big aggressive to you to bring home the point, but I believe the main point was that even with generous predictions on their future business plan (which as far we all know doesn't exist) that facebook is overv

FB only released not even close to 1/2 of their stock. The investors are still stock rich and won't sell off their shares yet. If they did, the price would tank to less than $20. The investors will cash out, but they'll gradually release

I don't mind it if it hides away from a platform. After all, that's the point of an API - to hide the dirty details. I mean, I've not touched assembly code in over 10 years. I've not touched C++ in 10. This is a good thing, but I do remem

You're absolutely right. But all frameworks have to go through these humps. Hell, I remember just 2 years ago having MongoDB in production it would regularly crash. We got rid of it in production, but I'd reconsider using it now.

Their messaging is a non-standard protocol. AMQP standard would be kick ass. Same with their cloud search - sooo obviously solr/lucene-based but 0 exposure to the lucene syntax. Not a big deal though, it's not like it totally locks you in

When you have a marketplace of 600K sellers, the competition is fierce. Etsy tries hard to make them profitable by offering classes online and attempts to lower costs of supplies. I hope they can find a way to pool the cost of materials to

Barely any sellers are profitable on etsy. They're all housewives or hipsters that sell at amazingly low profit margins. It's a steal if you want to buy handmade stuff though.

Etsy has always had remote working coders and they've always been aggressive about hiring talent. Their CEO is a genius at doing this, which is a great trait for a tech leader.

What are some things you'd like to see added to the language that's not yet there? Seems like a lot of the core features first get added to a language and once it's mature, most new features are enhancing the API. Hell, even Microsoft rele

Facebook isn't even the #1 spot right now. Google, apple, and microsoft are still much bigger companies than they are. And oh yeah, they make PROFIT. IMHO, facebook is GREATLY overvalued, but only time will tell if it's true. Their inves

Even though one can't reliably predict how to take down facebook, it's great to see google keep trying to lash at it. Historically, no tech company stays in the #1 spot for more than a decade. That doesn't mean Facebook won't be around in

ANY free education, regardless of a comparison of today's system, is great. MIT and Stanford's courseware - AMAZING. The courses are THE SAME courses as CS courses. Now, there's no excuse not to learn it, and a lot of people in 3rd world

I hate people who put down people. They're assholes and stupid. Just kidding dude. I was just joking when I said that. I love coding. I'd fuck a node.js program and even let XML lick my balls at the same time.

That's all I said though, is that it reminded me of my Java years. And yeah, connecting to C libs is commonplace in large PHP places. In fact, that's how PHP gets a lot of it's work done to be quick. Your ".01%" is a number you're throwin

This is nothing more than a simple press release to say that Red Hat and 10gen are working on "something." World's BEST? C'mon man. This title resembles a title on a pamphlet at a florida timeshare seminar. That being said - the article i

Bahh.. Don't be so patronizing. I'm a nerd dude. I was joking when I said I hate them all. I'll fuck Java and PHP in a 3some if given the chance. I'm saying as long as I get paid I'll do the job because I'm an hourly coder (pays more, h

Bahh.. it was at where I worked. It was because we relied on C libraries that PHP connected to. When PHP is slow, they make links to C libs to get speed. Java did the same with JNI. PHP simply isn't fast enough in some situations where

Like it or hate it, PHP stack is easy to start coding webpages if all you know is HTML. PHP is an easy to enter arena. Memorizing APIs is easier than Computer Science. But PHP works fine with CS concepts. But it also offers a shit ton of

I know why it's successful. I remember when PHP was becoming popular. It allowed for inroads to code from front end designers who hated coding in Flash at a time when academia-based Java people were running all the big websites. If you wa

I lot of companies have real mentors. Ask about that before starting somewhere. Find out who your boss is. Ask them questions. A lot of startups are bad at this because they're, well, starting up. I'm a big believer in mentoring, but a

Your boss is a dick, so he's making it clear they shouldn't need you. Get that shit out of your head that the sky will fall for these people if you leave. It won't. It's hard to believe, I know, but they WILL find a replacement and life

FUCK THAT.. Quit. He works for an asshole. Startups are a dime a dozen. I'm sure he's got an idea. All this sensitive therapy crap - just change your life and do what you want. That billion dollar cashout is a fucking joke.

Get the fuck out of there. Do it with class. They'll understand. Your life and your health are far more important. Fuck the romanticism of startups, do your own thing. You're posting on here looking to hear this because you know it's t
