Favstar gets even better if you sign in.
Here's why signing in is good for you.
true "if you want to become a programmer, you have to be comfortable with having
to learn new things constantly for the rest of your life."
Software should be a show. The development must have a tinge of entertainment. There must be a plot. Frequent releases are necessary.
Mongo is the new MySQL (http://t.co/T7BwURz) and Node is the new PHP. A new LAMP-like stack is emerging.
PHP is backwards too but scales from a simple web form to Facebook. One can only dream to make software as useful as PHP...
Software is often designed with the assumption that the user cares. This often leads to a worse user experience.
Programming is like city planning. Old programs look like modern day european cities with layers of construction spaning centuries.
Time to Disappointment (TTD) is my new metric for software. The number of seconds from download until disappointment becomes overwhelming.
#nodejs intro video now at 101,000 views. It seems node is spreading like cancer! :D http://t.co/wSFHEZgx
Browsers should have a visual element to indicate that a web socket connection exists and thus you should expect updates.
