Re:Why we left AngularJS on Monday February 17, 2014 @08:38PM (#7255777)
Are there any good guides on how to organize JavaScript on non-SPAs? I have a weird web development background in that I've only ever worked on SPAs, so I haven't ever done JavaScript work on a server-side rendered app.
Re:My love affair with AngularJS on Tuesday February 04, 2014 @09:51PM (#7181620)
The first trick requires having the Angular Batarang installed, right? Still cool, I didn't know about that. I've been manually typing angular.element($0).scope() like a sucker.
The use of the word "kickstarter" is pretty confusing here. My first thought was that this was something people at hackathons could use to put up ideas and see who's interested in joining them. I guess I should have noticed the lowercase "k".
Re:Is Pair Programming Worth It? AirPair Interviews Pivotal Labs on Wednesday December 18, 2013 @01:03PM (#6929214)
I'd heard of AirPair before, and my first thought reading the title was "Is Pair Programming Worth It? A Company Offering Pair Programming Services Interviews Another Company Offering Pair Programming Services". I wonder what the answer is!

This article by Jakob Nielsen goes into that a bit: http://www.nngroup.com/articles/response-times-3-important-l... (1993). He claims <100ms feels instantaneous.

Re:Knex and Bookshelf – ORM for JavaScript on Sunday December 08, 2013 @07:42PM (#6872280)
I've used node-db-migrate (https://github.com/kunklejr/node-db-migrate) on some toy projects in conjunction with Bookshelf, and it seemed to work fine. I haven't used it in production, though.
Re:Is it bad practice to use your real name online? on Sunday December 08, 2013 @02:49PM (#6871059)
For me, I find myself scared to participate using my real name. I think it's mostly a lack of self-confidence. I actually just registered this username last night, hoping that anonymity will help me get over my fear of posting. Maybe in the future I'll be more comfortable/confident and use my real name, but for now, an anonymous username will be my crutch.
