Re:Ask HN: Advice for a new and inexperienced tech lead?

Inspire!
I transitioned into a tech lead a year ago and at first it was kind of annoyed by all the requests from the team regarding technical assistance.
I realized there were two paths I could take. 1. Continue to be annoyed and try to get as much coding in as I can. 2. Sit down with each individual, help them, give examples of how things should work etc.
Luckily I chose the latter option and I have a great relationship with all the team, I have strong coders that are more self-sufficient, and I enjoy more time coding now.
I think the lesson I learned is that you get out of your team much more than you put in, strive to inspire your devs.

Wow, I originally clicked on the article thinking it was tongue-in-cheek, but it's fantastic! Glad to see that someone is taking time to help others (like me)
Re:MySQL is a Better NoSQL

What about ease of setup? I'd take the NoSql setup any day. If in need of a super light, super quick db that is for a "non-enterprise" application, it's tough to beat NoSql...

Why not just use Ruby, all of this is already built in?

I never liked this kind of code practice, makes it very difficult to read!
Re:Ask HN: State of Django vs. Rails?

I know, that the worst part! I like Python, in fact the indentation convention makes it really nice to read, but why did they uglify it with the double underscores?

It's not fair to think that everyone has an internet connection though, should be posed as an alternate solution, then I think it makes a lot of sense.

Is Django/Python going to get rid of the double underscore convention? If so, I'll switch from Ruby/Rails... :)

Better yet, it will more accurately reflect how many people from each state will bother to take the time to respond...
