Re:Show HN: Introducing Spaceship on Saturday February 11, 2012 @07:51PM (#3580671)
I second this. I just skimmed the whole page and I have no idea what spaceship is besides a "tool for designers". After looking at the wall of text on your landing page I had no desire to even start the video. The image for the video is not super compelling either. Good luck!

Oh... and... what is it that spaceship does?

Re:Want to be a software engineer? Go to university on Tuesday December 06, 2011 @11:49PM (#3322503)
"Anyone can learn to write code but they will never be a Software Engineer or a Computer Scientist. They won’t be able to design large scale financial systems, search engines or contribute to the next powerful programming language."

I wonder what the author thinks about all of the computer scientists who pioneered the industry before there were universities teaching computer science?

I just get an interactive ruby and it wants me to move through a bunch of steps... Just visiting the page I have no idea where I am going and why I should invest my time. It looks like a site to teach absolutely new programmers how to code Ruby.
