  1. @dakami I prefer Python but Ruby is close and even Java can be manageable if you avoid enterprise architects - better if you bill by LoC
  2. @dakami Perl collapses under its own weight without phenomenal discipline; PHP is close behind (better OOP helps). Others are roughly equal.
  3. @assaf Many of those developers are indies: as if the AppStore jackpot wasn't scary enough, randomly getting hit with undocumented polices?
  4. @assaf Gold rush is definitely a factor but it's hard to understate developers' fear of a veto wielded inconsistently and absurdly
  5. @assaf Definitely. OTOH, I was at WWDC08; iPhone app excitement was crazy. Nobody talks like that any more due to the app store policies
  6. @assaf That's what I hope continues to be the case - the app store policy foot-shoot suggests someone wants to milk it if they can
  7. @assaf I don't think they ever considered that we'd have a choice about trusting them. Apple has been flirting with the same triumphalism
  8. @assaf There's a powerful lesson about not abusing your users' trust there...
  9. Making pizza
  10. @coderbrown I've been told it's easier than including images in email. Might even be true if you're using some horrid webmail system.
  11. Never a great sign when you need to write code which prints this: "HTML is too broken to parse directly with html5lib; attempting tidylib"
  12. Somewhat surprised the @nytimes iPhone team hasn't hit in the "download first, then display" ad technique given AT&T's legendary NYC service
  13. @holdenweb There are lots of problems like that - the most annoying being the conflation of medical and criminal problems
  14. I don't mind the support but the conservative about-face is amusing: http://s.nyt.com/u/C1I
  15. @pydanny yes - but @shentonfreude and I got a pass because they don't support 10.6 yet. Still waiting for a real threat SAV Mac blocks...
  16. Ugh. Apparently our security people are under the misimpression that Symantec improves Mac security.
  17. Resisting the urge to "git blame" this code
  18. @doughellmann I've always assumed there's an RFC1149 link involved at some point.
  19. Really wouldn't mind if TDBank signed up for @wesabe's new springboard - their current site was obviously written using enterprise tools.
  20. @montylounge I know the feeling - unfortunately, I have to take all the blame for this CSS since I've did a complete build up from the reset
