Stop reading these comments and get to work. You don't have time for both.

To me, this means asking the following: when you do something, do you feel guilty after? Do you hate yourself for playing 5 hours of video games every night when you know you could be productive? That's a guilt-laden activity.

If front-end MVC Is too much for a given use case, then Twitter's Flight.js[1] seems like a great way to keep jQuery well organized. It defines a way to write jQuery components that communicate via events, piggy-backing on the DOM's event propagation. Quite simple, and ideal for when a single-page-app (e.g. the kind you get with Backbone) isn't quite right for you.

That sounds like a problem with your particular work environment, rather than a reason to not learn design

This is somewhat minor, and a bit tangential to the article, but worth noting nonetheless.

The title on HN is misleading. Dev Bootcamp is a company whose name in the general sense is being used to refer to similar learn-to-code schools ("dev bootcamps"). This article refers to one of the latter, but does not identify as having to do with the Dev Bootcamp.

You have 10 reasons. Your numbered list has 7 twice.

Also, the reason is very simple: there's no money to be made in building a Hyperloop. There's a good reason Musk didn't (and won't) work on it.

How often are (production) mobile apps using these types of BaaS providers rather than being custom-backed? Is this a tool mostly used for test/toy apps?

I'm surprised more public projects don't run as bounty-style "build x and get $1 million" type systems. Rather than picking who's going to do what (or worse, building all in-house), having many different small times competing for one pot seems like it might be a better way to get a good starting foundation. Or perhaps that's a crazy idea for something as big as this.

Yeah I got that feeling. I've used and like Angular, but can't figure out why I'd want to use this instead.

Can someone explain this to me like I'm a 5 year old and have no idea what any of it means? What will it help me do that I can't otherwise? What tech does it compare to, if any (direct competitors)?

Agreed - came to comments to say the numbers aren't necessarily, and the navigation is unclear (though I just used keyboard arrow keys)

Is the color not brown? Perhaps I need to calibrate my monitor

Would love to be able to try it out without having to sign up. Guest account?

OUYA is hiring Android developers!

In case you're unaware, we're building a new gaming console that runs on Android. We're located in San Mateo.

Recently I discussed with colleagues why Ruby on Rails succeeded where no Python framework did. One hypothesis put forward was that there was 1 popular Ruby framework (Rails), but many popular Python frameworks.

I wonder if it will be the same for JavaScript front-end frameworks, with no one gaining the greatest mindshare.

Not necessarily make any claims about what's preferable (one framework to rule them all vs many competing options) - though I'm certainly curious about that as well for the front-end frameworks.

What's most impressive to me in Penn & Teller's work is not just that they put in extraordinary amounts of time perfecting a trick (giving themselves a barrier to entry), but that they "ship". They don't let perfection get in the way of bringing a new trick out.

I agree with Dustin that caring is critical to creating well-designed products, but fear the desire for perfection getting in the way of releasing.

You could always keep healthy snacks are your desk. Right now I'm munching on some plain, unsalted almonds that I keep right next to me, along with some fruit and other healthy things. Let's me keep going without thinking about being hungry.

“it's okay to not get this and be completely confused”

I'm only 4 months into learning to program, but still think this is one of the most valuable mindsets to have. It's a skill, really, being able to accept that everything I read about might not make complete sense or be familiar enough for me to be able to apply the learnings right away, but that I will understand more each time I try to pick up some new content.

Given that this is my first published webapp (and I've only been coding for two months total), I'd love any feedback people have.

Thanks!

I really appreciate all the feedback and thoughts. It's all quite informative. Thanks!

Had the same issue. Would love to not have the outside area scroll if I'm trying to scroll the slide-out.

Exactly! Even now I'm annoyed that I have to type on my iPhone keyboard when I'm sitting at my computer and someone sends me a text. Would infinitely prefer that when I'm in proximity of my computer and logged in that the phone functionality was available in the computer's OS and on screen.

And then being able to get up and carry what I was doing on my computer wherever I go would be the next step.

Another key here is breaking down the specs. If you're clear in your communication, you can get good work. But being 100% clear with exactly what you want the finished product to look like is critical.

Yeah - thanks for pointing that out. We're pitching in 45 minutes, but will aim to get some posts up describing our experience.

You can check http://blog.pipeapp.co (we need to connect it to the live app still so there's links between, but I've been posting about our experience) for the time being.

Thanks for asking!

Keeping up with a professional network can be a lot of work. The idea is that Pipe breaks this down into one person to contact each day. It's not going to be for everyone, but for people that want a little push each day reaching out to the people they've lost touch with.

For me, as a transplant from the East Coast to SF, there are high school friends, college buddies, and plenty of colleagues that I don't talk to regularly. Pipe will tell me which one person to reach out.

yeah, we're working on that - sorry!

The singly hackathon has been a blast. I'm on the Pipe team and am happy to answer any questions you have about our experience and what we built.

That's pretty much how it works (as explained by reddit co-founder Steve Huffman in Udacity 253 course - sorry I forget exactly which video he says it).
