More PHP envy? Get over it, PHP > all, and that's not gonna change anytime soon


I use a few RSS in my iGoogle (mostly global news, just in case the world is ending or something which I would like to know instantly), and LOTS in my Thunderbird. How else would I be notified when this or that blogger, who writes one amazing article once or twice a year does so?

Don't kill RSS, write a nice guide on how to use it for non-techies and make it viral.


What city do you live in?


The crypto course is fantastic =)


I didn't know about Derby, thanks for sharing.

I won't even try Meteor, they screwed it up with the license.


Uncompressed field names - If you store 1,000 documents with the key “foo”, then “foo” is stored 1,000 times in your data set

Oh my god. I didn't know about this. And I hate short, meaningless and anti-intuitive field names. Please fix it mongodb devs!


This is a long-outstanding bug, over 2 years old now:

https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-863

Obviously you can vote for them to fix the bug. But it's been two years, so I'm not sure it's really high on the priority list.


"Realized that my friends will forever make fun of me if I stay on PHP"

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?


Yes. It's really easy to learn things when you have a support network turn to for questions and advice.


or a willingness to take your own path and not mind the opinions of others.


>I need someone to hold my hand


GPL?! I don't even..


I still don't know why people use github instead of bitbucket.
