Re:Client-Side MVC's Major Bug on Tuesday February 10, 2015 @04:02AM (#9026061)
I somehow agree with this "if your client-side MVC framework does not support server-side rendering, that is a bug. It cripples performance." and it always felt right.

I would straight forward look for skillsets and productivity(productivity includes guys availability i.e. whatever is needed) and attitude rather than age, Period.

I must agree to the fact that you can not blame addon authors for any slowdown or memory usage.

FF 25.x.x and FF Nightly build 28.0a1 (2013-11-19). I do see some improvements in latest dev builds.

My intention was not to sound like rant but if I did then it's my bad. I notice the issues with ubuntu a lot and I was big fan of it as mentioned above but not anymore as you know the reason. I get paid for developing application which work on browsers and not make browsers work fast. The point is big number of devs won't be able to give their time to make browsers better but that does not mean they can't say bad is bad.

Dear Firefox, I feel sad about you.

I have been in web app development since 2008 and have used PHP, Python, ROR, Javascript, HTML, CSS etc with my most favorite browser Firefox and I always loved it. But now FF is not in my favorite browser list instead I just use it for testing purposes to see if things working or not just like you keep testing your app on IE7,8,9 etc.I did not even realize that since last 18 months or so I am...

Yup you are right. But python is a bit on the slower side in comparison to PHP and that is why the dilemma.
Well you can just put your comments. No need to upvote. Not intentional.

Re:Ask HN: Do you build tools whose end user is just you? on Thursday June 06, 2013 @02:15PM (#5834157)
I think you have already mentioned the pros and cons here and you are very much right. I am a bit lazy developer and hate doing the same things again and again knowing the fact that the process can be automated. Though believe in sharing knowledge. The first thing is your tool must serve well to your need. Making the tool generic enough is later part of the story.

I would prefer to write scripts that are useful rather than wasting time, it does not matter if it just suits my requirement.

Those email notification always seemed distraction to me.
Yes. It happened with a friend of mine few weeks back and that's what made me ask this here.

Ask HN: What is the algorithm behind blocking a HN member?

Here I am interested in Do's and Don'ts on HN? Specifically things to avoid in this forum.I have heard from our fellow HN members about not to do certain things otherwise HN will block you. e.g:1) Some of the statement includes "Do not ask your friends to vote on your thread from the same IP, Truth or Myth?"2) Do not share thread on facebook or any social networking site, Truth or Myth?

Re:Why do Programmers Hate Documenting? on Saturday June 01, 2013 @10:58AM (#5804179)
As quoted by "David Clayworth" that programmers tend to loose the interest after solving the problem in hand. It happens with me a lot of time.

However, I tend to write the comment and function signature when planning a solution to a bigger problem. In comment I mostly add what I want to achieve from the function or code block. There are more chances of putting a comment while developing a new feature from scratch.

I have seen people taking the 3rd point lightly, atleast by techies in majority. They think revenue model will evolve once the product idea they love becomes reality.
Re:Ask HN: I need help with a career decision on Tuesday May 28, 2013 @07:07AM (#5779254)
Change is inevitable. So if you are not liking the environment in your current job it is always better to move on and focus on improving the skill set rather than thinking about what your immediate super wiser thinks about you.

As far as your friends/Team mates are concerned they ll remain your friend no matter which company you work for. All the best.

Re:Poll: What font size do you use for coding? on Tuesday May 28, 2013 @02:25AM (#5778458)
I use 13 with "Ubuntu Mono" font family. I think it's worth mentioning font-family. Consider readability, height etc. of fonts.
Re:Django 1.6 alpha 1 released on Monday May 27, 2013 @12:59AM (#5773492)
Good. Keep it coming. For those who are interested further, here are the release notes to see "What’s new in Django 1.6" http://j.mp/13XRnoD
I used to be a Firefox fan but not anymore, I made chrome my default browser and I am highly satisfied. Now I use FF just to test while developing things. I love lightness of chrome and have shifted all dev related work to chrome. I wont be surprised if chrome becomes the first choice all the developers in next couple of years.
