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.
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.
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.
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)?
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.
