When reading stuff like this I wonder, how do the Windows folks manage to do the same? A browser disguised as Visual Studio? doubledesktop.exe? I'm so thankful for my *nix with all these little toys.

The new PHP 12 years ago

The thing is you have to be a medium-to-expert to be confident about Composer dependencies, every new dev is going to use the language API, which resembles a bunch of functions with no general pattern.

PHP users need to keep it together and set a common base, a standard library with sane defaults.

Hi! Cuban here, pretty much same situation as you, I feel your pain, every time I see the little broken robot when attempting to get anything from Google Code I thank we have Github and Bitbucket.

If Github gets blocked we should get something on, If only blocked governments took this issue seriously and had these essential services covered, but I guess something as amazing as github takes real starters and not some lame government founded dev group.

Anyway, just saying, we blocked people should hang around more often.

Por que começar com português? Queríamos começar com uma comunidade que atendesse a dois requisitos:

Um grande número de desenvolvedores talentosos, em que Grande parte deles se sentisse muito mais confortável em falar sua própria língua do que o inglês

Why start with portugese?

We wanted to begin with a community that fulfilled two requisites:

Having a large number of talented developers and many of them feeling much more comfortable speaking their own language than English.

It seems to me this is a move to catch Brazilian developers, a wise move I'd say.

I only pipe in-house projects I host myself and know exactly what will be the result, piping from the web seems rather naive.

So Google helps building a proxy for by passing their own censorship, Bravo Google, Bravo. (I'm being ironic of course)

This is what I get any time I try to download anything from Google Code or Android sdk or even read something hosted on GAE.

I'm in Cuba but the same should be for Iran and others "bad boys".

I know there is Symfony, Laravel, Slim and the rest but what bothers me about PHP is the language itself. It feels clumsy, full of monkeypatches all over it, as the result of many different shools of thought.

On the other side Python feels like one mind's labour, it just fits togheter.

I read a lot of technical docs in English, and watch a lot of movies without subtitles to force my brain to catch the words, it worked pretty well so far.

I'm starting to read non-tech literature, is another league but I like it, is cool reading a book in its original language. (Robinson Crusoe right now..)

Actually in Cuba people (not the gov) have huge (like city wide) WiFi networks. The hell with the internet, the wifi has it all. (almost all)

My personal goal is to create apps for that WiFi, sounds fun optimizing a website for 802.11G 54Mb/s.

The Cuban exile is really hurting the country, sometimes I see US and Cuba leaders try to make things up and some guy from Miami comes out and mess the whole thing, there is so much hate, nothing good comes out of this.

I am burning out 13 years ago

Damn, you sure have some ego boy, I write lots of crap but I wouldn't consider all of it to be worth it of being used by the crowd, some of it may get to the masses but that is a delicate process of FOSS-Darwinian selection, you can't rush it.
