I thought this conversation was great until the downvote happened. So far, the opinions that have been expressed here are pretty good, it got even better when someone that had actually been abused started to share their experiences. Using t

Interesting, mine focused very much on higher level stuff like predicate logic and set theory.

A solid computer science education would have helped him understand this. Not required for a 'normal' programmer but the more interesting parts of our trade exist in Computer Science rather than Software Engineering.

I currently work with a few very popular B2C ecommerce platforms and none of them have made the move to this sort of thing yet, the best we've got is Spring MVC with AJAX.

by sc0rb 13y ago
This is the best answer I've received to my concerns. You're predicting that people will move from backend to frontend for the MVC layer (or w/e will come next) and this is why you are keeping up with these sorts of developments. Good answe

This functionality is already provided via AJAX. There's no need for me to put the whole MVC later on the client side to achieve this. You don't need to pull a whole page down to get new data and you can do the form validation on the client

So what's the point of making the MVC portion of the application client side when I can just use Spring MVC (or similar) and keep to the same tech stack that the rest of the project is using? Same goes for .NET projects etc?

This feels like a pretty HN style answer. Is Ember worth learning? Let's see. It adds no value over anything that we already use or what I see being used elsewhere. It's just another library that doesn't add any significant. There is not li

So you think that client side JS web apps are 'the way to go'. What's wrong with server side MCV web applications? How does Ember.js in the clients browser scale when you have a a lot of data that needs marshaling / unmarshaling or generall

No mention of my other criteria I see. Money is an important part of a career. Weddings, houses and children cost money. So the idea is that Ember may serve to fix one particular problem in my company... I don't see how it's any better than

Is Ember.js actually worth learning? Will it make me a better programmer (like learning Haskell will)? Will it enable me to get a pay rise from my current £480 per day contracting fees? Is there a more diverse and active job market than the

I'm saying that this isn't necessarily a great idea, just because it's working for this guy now that doesn't mean we understand it and it could be dangerous.

Yes, many contractors make very good use of Linkedin to speak with recruiters.

OMFG YOU'RE TOTALLY RIGHT. The op should have just started an insurance industry disrupting medical insurance startup rather than get paid to work at an already established insurance company where he's somewhat guaranteed(by law) to get pai

If what you say about the gov seizing money is true, why wouldn't they try and take some sort of legislative control over BTC? Why wouldn't they make it illegal or do some other thing with the law to make it harder to use without running th

I was in Madrid three weeks ago for work. I took my clients out to dinner and had to pay in cash... It happens often. The GDP of the country has little to do with credit card use. I was surprised when I went to Australia and discovered that

I've been to Spain multiple times. A lot of places didn't even take credit card. Good luck getting people to use an internet currency. Bitcoin is not ready for prime time yet. I can't wait for some malware to empty everyone's wallets... I'm

For Java Enterprise / Spring development (or even some of the more lightweight stuff), this editor does not match up to what Eclipse offer. I want / need to see when dependencies in the code are not resolve at dev time, not compile time. I

The Java ecosystem had MVC a long time before .NET and a long time before rails mvc was even conceived. You seem to be missing a chunk of history. Rails made MVC popular among lesser developers (bottom feeders, small projects, not much mone

I'm sure Rails would be less code and quicker to production. That's not to say that it can't be done quickly in Spring - Java. The whole 15 min blog thing is a good example of fast Rails, it's also a good example of non production ready i.e

I agree, it's massively arrogant to think your platform of choice was a real game changer because of your ignorance as to what other people were already doing.

All that stuff by Friday... I can do that in Java / Spring. It will also be high performance, extendable and maintainable. Rails brought very little to the table in that respect. Not to people who actually know what they're doing anyway.
