Some nice thoughts but dcurtis missed the point: people do not criticise the concept or idea of Google Glass -- they sneer at the implementation. Once we have mores subtle devices or even contact lenses with embedded screens we'll see a bre

Definitely the best browser multiplayer game ever. And nice to see that it's build on Node (among other tech).

Weird question and the answer is, don't plan for the next five years, plan for the next week, develop an MVP and when it's deployed think about the next step.

Today, I'll lose at least 50 karma points, but it's worth: Why people still use Ruby? 1. Because they get dream day rates for maintaining rusty slow legacy systems 2. Because they do not want to learn new languages and can stay in their com

Very good point and I forgot to write it. You are totally right women usually won't get it when you talk about let's say business related achievements because they are often not interested and don't get it AND MUCH MORE IMPORTANT: because y

Great having one bringing a balanced view on Go and showing that Go is still not ready for production when used with external libs. A refreshing take in this overhyped thread.

I find this post paired with this thread confusing. Yes, Go is tempting and I'd like to try it since a lot of people get quickly into flow with Go, the "package manager is so great" and "everything is just a breath of fresh air". But what I

JS is a modern and beautiful language, comparing it with PHP is bold. People fighting Node are just afraid to change and to start from zero again, they fear the truth. No other language offers C-class speed, that rich ecosystem (which is fu
