I love this idea. I am more than a little jealous as I have wanted to build something like this since college. I just save my .md note files to a cloud drive and load them as a project w/ sublime text. It's not as beautiful as this but it works.

I am not sure which company the they is in your second sentence. I think you mean Yahoo and they do have some good services. I haven just always used google products (remember iGoogle?) I have set up yahoo finance and it is lovely but it is just a (small) pain to jump to another site/app ect.

I would never have guessed I would migrate from a google product to a yahoo product. What an odd thing this is.

I was a tad sad seeing that the other day. I have used it for 10 years.. I guess I will just have to use my investment site. Logging in is such a pain just to get a general update.

Isn't the point of TDD to create cleaner code that is robust enough for it's purpose? When the author says he is "more conservative" when using TDD; that seems to confirm that he is doing what works best rather than some kluge. Isn't that the point? Many comments have the theme of I loved TDD and then I stopped doing it when I didn't have to. That may have to with experience in the domain. TDD helps newbs (like me) cut down on mistakes while seasoned vets are able to work with more freedom.

To echo everyone; Hackers is a great book. Steven Levy books are both compelling reads and content rich. Crypto and In the plex both have their place as well. http://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1?ie=UTF8&field... I would also say "The Information" by James Gleick. It is a page turner with some neat concepts. Which is not so easy to do. http://www.amazon.ca/Information-History-Theory-Flood/dp/140...
