News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

commadelimited

Come talk to me when you're almost 44 and have the same feeling.

I've probably accomplished more than some: I'm the co-author of 3 tech books on jQuery Mobile, I have a number of 1000+ star projects on GitHub, I do contract work on the side and more. Yet I still feel that I'm not doing enough.

The thing is that you have to feel okay with what you're doing. If you want to do more, then do it. If you'd rather take time and chill on the couch, then go for it. You probably work hard during the day.

Hey tborg...

I've been on the private beta and working on that article for over a month in conjunction with Addy and Paul from the Yeoman team. I contributed numerous tickets and issues to the repository and assisted in testing countless times. Just so you don't think I whipped it out really quickly.

I appreciate you taking the time not only to read the post, but to offer your opinion and corrections to my article. I've updated those two mistakes you pointed out.

As I understand it, SimpleHTTPServer offers basic functionality to the user, which is all I use it for...a quick way to view pages using AJAX requests. I attempted to use http.server instead, but as I'm not running Python 3.0 I'm not able to use that option. Since Lion ships with Python 2.7, and many people are using that OS, I felt safe leaving the reference in place.

I do run the server function myself, many times a day in fact, but I made the mistake of typing it in manually rather than copying and pasting from my .zshrc file.

This post isn't intended for hackers, thus the title "...for the novice". The comments I've received about the article thus far, most likely from people not as advanced as yourself, have been positive and appreciative for the information. I'd love to hear some of the tools that improve your workflow daily...would you care to share them?

That's a good list. I considered including Git but that could be an entire article by itself. I've looked at TMux but I just don't I'd use it.

I'd love to hear other tools that you guys are using for your daily workflow.

Ember Buttons are deprecated, but this article was written in March...before the Ember team made that choice.

It's all good. I'm not taking it personally.

I wrote this article while I was learning Ember, and in fact used it as a way of answering many of the questions I had that documentation didn't cover.

On a related note, as meta8609 mentioned, I've got a much more in-depth article on Ember over at Adobe.

Indeed.

As others have mentioned I'm using Github's Gist system for embedding code snippets. Makes it much easier to maintain and update, and also provides syntax highlighting and the ability for people to fork the snippet.

Apologies that you weren't able to see the samples. I'll have to consider how to manage that.
