Sorry for the repost but the other submission seems to be dead.
chrisledet··on Amazon Prime’s new killer app: Kindle books by subscription
I don't see why you can't just use the Kindle app for this.

Thanks for the video. I'll take a look.
chrisledet··on Is Java Really Losing Popularity Among Developers?
I actually worked for a startup who wanted who wanted their apps written in Java because it "scales". To this day they don't realize hardware is cheaper than deveopers.
chrisledet··on Is Java Really Losing Popularity Among Developers?
That's because their apps are written in Java and they need people to maintain them. Java isn't going anywhere for a while.

chrisledet··on How LinkedIn used Node.js and HTML5 to build a better, faster app
I was responding to jinushaun's comment on how Node.js is easy to develop on. CoffeeScript compiles to JavaScript. Give http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/ a good read and you'll convert too!

> It's so fun and easy to develop in Node, that it sometimes feels like a toy.

and using CoffeeScript makes it even easier!

The project was started less than 48 hours ago. Isn't quite finished yet. :)

You can say the same thing for any OSS project but then why is open source so damn popular? If you don't want to contribute then that's your own decision. No one is forcing you to do anything.

The current bureaucracy is flawed. It is not community owned but government by a "core maintainer" group where decisions are not publicize nor is there a roadmap anywhere.

I went through the necessary communication channels BEFORE I started this and what I experienced from that is the result of rubylang.info.

and that was my main goal.
chrisledet··on Ruby Programming Language (alternative Ruby home page)
Hello. I started rubylang.info and I feel that I should say this. I had contacted the team who maintains ruby-lang.org and it is what actually inspired me to create this so called "fork". The way they're doing things right now is discouraging and much of a hassle for anyone not in the "team" to contribute the slickest bit of change. This new site solves this problem.
chrisledet··on What are your 5 top Linux software development tools?
Don't get me wrong. Emacs is a great operating system but it lacks a good editor.

As far as the language goes, I agree with this but I'd take JVM over CLR anytime.

chrisledet··on Git Reset Demystified
TDD isn't a tool, it's a process of developing software.

This is just the internal stuff, you DONT need to know this using git on a day to day basis. I use git for all my projects and most of the time, i mainly just type `git commit -a -m "lol message" && git push`.

Do you need to know everything about MS Word in order to become productive with it? No. Apply the same concept to Git or any software really.
