Lately I???ve met several software developers who are good at both coding and maintaining open source software. Sometimes, but not often, these people are also good at publicizing what they create, supporting their developer base, and leading a community. Here in the Rails community I feel we???ve been lucky enough to have several great coders who are also great leaders.

My company is out of money, which you are never supposed let happen. And definitely never supposed to confess to. Because then investors can give you any terms they want. Rape. Carnage. Pillage. Everything. And in our case, it's coming from the angels who invested in our first round of funding, which means that the people who are supposed to be on our side are killing us.

5 Reasons DataMapper Will Deprecate ActiveRecord (1)

ActsAsFlinn : (2) permalink
Merb brought much attention to the ActiveRecord alternative ORM DataMapper and I feel like it’s going to put a serious hurting on ActiveRecord. My reasoning is based on the fact that alternate data storage technologies are gaining serious traction. The latest and greatest (couchdb, dynomite, cassandra, thrudb) are offering distributed document / object databases that will make creating highly scalable websites even easier and faster, oh yeah and they’re all free.

Somewhere in the back of your mind, there’s likely an idea for a startup that rears its head from time to time. Perhaps it’s an iPhone app that reads minds, a search engine that’s better than Google, or it could even be the best way to buy music online. I can’t tell you how to make it a success, but I can share a few obstacles that you should be mindful of before starting out. ...Shared by Ahmed El-Helw (45) anand (8) Andrei Firoiu (13) Andrew Abogado (13) Andy Sowards (207) Anthony Garcia (32) Arijit Das (584) Armen Chakmakjian (18) Boris Mann (23) Brandon (44) Brandon J.

- spidaman said: Good points: most start ups fail. But the primary culprit is found in the comments: if your product doesn't improve a person's life substantially more than their effort to participate, they won't. Save people time, money or provide an equivalent level of delight. Or fail. It's that simple.

caboose Allowing custom CSS in your app (4)

caboose - blog.caboo.se Home (45) permalink
There are a number of good reasons why you don't want your users providing their own CSS (for example, when theming their site). These are: taste (see: myspace) and security. The former is pretty much your users' problem. The pages don't have to look terrible -- and in fact Myspace charges a LOT of money to do those custom movie or band pages (it's part of the service when you buy their primo ad space). ...Contribute comment -

Some principles I’m following: ActionController and ActionView should work well standalone All request-related information should be calculated in ActionController and passed through into ActionView ActionView should be responsible for figuring out what path to render; ActionController should pass enough information for ActionView to figure it out.

Kinda kinda hectic hectic.There's still a lot of defeatist bullshit going on around the changes in the music industry. Here's something the New York Times considered news fit to print:this is the reality of the 21st-century music business. Selling recordings to consumers as inexpensive artworks to be appreciated for their own sake is a much-diminished enterprise now that free copies multiply across the Web.While people still love music enough to track it down, collect it, ...- Ade said: "What the Internet is doing to music is making it easier for artists to make money based on making good music, instead of manipulating public attention."
