Don't kill RSS, write a nice guide on how to use it for non-techies and make it viral.
I won't even try Meteor, they screwed it up with the license.
Oh my god. I didn't know about this. And I hate short, meaningless and anti-intuitive field names. Please fix it mongodb devs!
That was lame.
"Considered Cake as well, but went with CodeIgniter mainly because I had friends that had used it"
Can you see a pattern here?
I love reading HN because arguments and reason are all that matters. Spiced with some trolling here and there to make it fun. Trolls' messages end up gray anyway.
And I have noticed this pattern:
In PHP frameworks, creating an object with raw $_POST is as common as in Rails (params), because it's faster for the developer. Of course, it's a known bad practice, and is discouraged.
The difference is that when a php developer makes this mistake, people say it's because php developers are all noobs and php is crap.
Now, when a Rails developer makes the very same mistake, it gets fancy names like 'mass assignment vulnerability', and by what I read in the comments on github, they are fully convinced that no other framework has this 'vulnerability', because no other framework has this feature of 'mass asignment'.
Their modus operandi is basically this:
- Take money from the middle class through unconstitutional high tax rates (that never come back in the form of infrastructure, education, security, etc), so they become poor.
- Give money to the poor so they keep voting favorably
- Give money to already rich friends and the Congress members, to have more power
- Get crazy laws approved, so that middle class has no escape. Eg: We can no longer buy other currencies, not even gold, so we are forced to stick to the pesos.
- Print print print! (more pesos) This way the money flows like this: people's savings and salaries -> government
- Profit
