Just wondering: I did not see any login page at all. Maybe only US visitors? (I'm from Europe)
Not sure if anybody reads this since the thread is already off the first page, but still: Thank you all! I think there is some great advice and I am positive that it will help me.

Ask YC: What to do with repetitive strain injury problems?

Hi everybody,I have developed RSI problems (repetitive strain injury) in my lower left arm. At first, it only occurred after playing the guitar. I have since stopped doing that (1 year ago already). But now, my wrist/lower arm hurts even when I am only programming and it's getting a real problem for me. After all, I earn my living as a programmer. I was wondering:Has anybody else had these...

Re:ASP.NET MVC Framework (Part 2): URL Routing on Monday December 03, 2007 @12:40PM (#85648)
Just skimming over the article, it seems to me that the framework authors are trying to do something similar to Routes in Rails or Pylons (http://routes.groovie.org/).

Actually, I find Routes' much clearer and easier to use (regular expressions and readability don't go very well together, IMO) than Django's URL-scheme. The url-generation feature of Routes comes in handy, too... don't know if Django has something equivalent. Granted, regular expressions may be more powerful, but I am willing to sacrifice some expressiveness in exchange for ease of use and improved readability. So, I can see why the framework authors ported that functionality (sort of).
