sanimal··on Elementary OS – Fast, open, privacy-respecting replacement for Windows and macOS
I don't like the "Pay What You Want" system they have to download the OS. It feels misleading that you have to click on custom then enter 0 to download for free.

I totally understand how important donations are to keep a project going but this one rubs me off the wrong way. I hope I'm not the only one.

sanimal··on Launch of the 3rd Edition of the Ruby on Rails Tutorial Book
This book is still a great read even if you aren't planning on Rails development. It's a great introduction to fundamentals plus it goes over Bootstrap which is immensely helpful. If you are self-taught in another language you can still benefit from this book.

Assuming you are developing in PHP, it can be surprisingly quick to just download the WampServer bundle and begin working on your PHP projects.
sanimal··on Gnome 3.12 Released
Honestly I don't use any of the extensions anymore. I just install Docky and call it a day.
