I have better luck when I approach writing tests like I'm coding up examples. Think of creating a tutorial for your code.

You say DSL, but I hear "dispatch on regular expression". #lolruby

Your little start-up isn't "disruptive". Disruptive is a toddler with a stomach flu.

We learn by doing, poorly at first. Experience brings comfort and, eventually, competence. For example, I used to be a terrible typist :)

If I care about it, it's "architecture". If *you* care about it, it's "bike shedding".

My only current metric for JS MVC frameworks is how quickly I go from "this is pretty cool" to "why the hell does't this work?!"

I'm now listening to job offers. Ruby or Java. This is me on github: https://github.com/kofno

2-year-old: "Run around in a square."

OO backlash is so prevalent, its not even hipster anymore. I will prepare for the next hipster wave by staying on the OO bandwagon. #thhpbbb

My JVM chops have lapsed. How much am I going to hate life if I install Java 7 on my MBA?

@petecheslock Agreed. There seems to be some dissonance that the sales guy out playing golf is real professional, but devs are unruly kids.

Talk of technologies "winning" always confuses me. What did they win? When did we cross the finish line?

I guess most the MyISAM users are on MongoDB now.

"When we have customer X, they'll probably want Y" should not be an argument that carries the day.
