It is my pleasure to be of service!

Thanks! Next one is definitely about Flux :)

Wow, author here. Woke up to a lot of unexpected traffic on the blog. I hope you like this article. I took a long time to understand React and, now I do, I hope other people don't take as long as I did!

Precisely

I am writing from one right now! It's definitely speedy, but I find the build quality to be rather low and the 13" screen simply cannot accomodate a Full HD resolution. Everything is rather minuscule...

I personally will not buy anything from Apple, but I think it's relevant to the discussion that every vote is cast. It's not a poll for me, it's a discussion for everyone!

I will add something like that myself soon enough. Thanks for pointing it out! I realize, now, that it bothers some people.

This interests me very much. Are there known problems about mapping over objects? What do you mean it has never been 100%? Thanks!

Yep! Somebody explained quite clearly the bug over at reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/3104m3/ios_8_insidio...

I quote:

> There is not length property inserted on the object, the jQuery folks had already confirmed that. It is a branch on the form of object that was failing due to a bug in the linkage of a jump. That made that bug very bizarre: you can access a length value by identifier, but now get a length property on the same object.

I have had similar problems with my team, and I went with the "meta-project" approach. I created an external project with all default configs[1]. It works well-ish. Main complaint is speed, grunt really is dumb to not lazy load...

Some e-commerce sites in Brazil have also been affected, like www.pontofrio.com.br. It seems they hacked a portion of a CDN and injected a script.

Does not seem serious, security-wise.

My team has mixed people but most of them are reasonably experienced. What we find most useful about Angular is that it offers a "right way" to go about things, which removes the necessity for endless discussions about "which architecture is best". When you have a large amount of apps that need to be built and maintained concurrently, having a similiar structure across all projects is very helpful.

Finally, a respectful and well founded analysis. Thank you for improving the quality of the debate.

My 2 cents: I actually prefer the declarative approach. My attempts at imperative view generation resulted in far more shooting-on-the-foot. Naturally, this is the very specific conclusions of me and my team, not the entire human race. I always think you should try both!

Also, I'm a huge fan of Polymer, which is also very much declarative. Going to use Angular instead of Polymer simply because of better project structure and browser support.

YES! Thank you! I think I'll die if I have to read another developer arrogantly defining what should and should not be, and how he, in all his glory, hereafter defines this framework to "NOT BE WORTHY".

I can't stand how some articles simply s&*t on years of software architecture principles and the work of very talented engineers and simply dismisses them like it's nothing.

If you disagree with a framework's perspective, AT LEAST be respectful.

BTW, I also have used Angular for 2 years and, given the pros and cons and existing alternatives, I will choose it again for my next big project. The structure is simply too solid. This is invaluable when you have a large team that must work together.

Interesting. I've used Ubuntu for years before Unity, switched between Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu with Unity, Linux Mint Cinnamon, Linux Mint MATE... and finally, as of last week, I've been using Ubuntu Gnome.

It was, of all the above mentioned, the first to give me a fluid desktop performance with decent aesthetics and all functionality I have grown accostumed to. I'm particularly fond of:

* Alt + drag work really well, specially dragging into borders with automatic resize. The lack of this feature in MATE was a daily pain for me.

* Login screen actually has useful information (even HipChat notifications!) and is really accessible - it opens up whether I scroll or simply start typing my password.

* The search box is, for a change (from Unity), actually smart. When I say "home", it knows precisely what I mean.

* All my tools work perfectly. IntelliJ WebStorm, HipChat, Chrome, the terminal... Even Spotify Linux Preview works like a charm.

I have had TWO minor hiccups:

* Bluetooth needed some extra modules installed. After that, everything worked fine.

* Workspaces would not behave appropriately with external monitor. One command solved that.

So, for now, Ubuntu Gnome is definitely my distro of choice.

Ubuntu 14.04. Sorry for the delay, I'm on vacations!

I use Oracle JVM, by the way.

I never bothered to check, but I think it's probably memory. Sorry for the delay to reply, I'm on vacations!

Thanks for that, I will try that out right now.

I would love it if they focused on performance improvements and making the editor more lightweight overall. I love WebStorm, but even on my beastly XPS running nothing but it and Chrome, it sometimes hangs doing nothing. I'm starting to investigate other editors such as Atom because of this. I find it hard to believe that a quad core, modern computer can possibly have a hard time running a text editor.

If you are currently helping someone go through this disease - or suffering from it - all I can say is: hang on there.

Dealing with irrationality is one of the most frustating feelings out there. You will get very tired sometimes. You will get overwhelmed. Nevermind. They are having the worst of it.

Keep going. You owe it to them to comfort them, no matter how many times. Remember two things: It's not their fault, and it will get better.

Nice material! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! Updated.

Didn't know that about the new ES6 functions. I'll check it out.

Yes, named functions do improve debugging... But I guess it's worth the trade. I have come across very confusing code thanks to named functions.

You should check out the SideProject Book[1]. It's specifically about bootstraped, successful, single owner projects. It features some of the projects that appeared here, actually, like BCC.

As of myself, I am currently trying to educate myself into dividing my time better between my "day job" and my product. Hard to do, though, when your day job absolutely rocks... It's very easy to work all day long without realizing you should have stopped in the middle of the afternoon. Not a bad problem to have, mind you.

Thanks for the viewership! :)

Jesus, this is an enormous step up from mean.io and also from CLEAN[1], my fork of mean. Huge thanks for this, will become my new boilerplate. Anyone up for mantaining a Coffee fork? I think I'll do it.

As a person who had two minor head injuries and took a CT after each one (to find nothing, thankfully) in the last 6 months...

I find this rather disturbing.

AHAHA that error was f'd up. Yes, it has its crazyness', ocasionally, but I had a mighty good time with 12.04. Let's see how 13.10 behaves as my main driver.

About Fedora, I have fiddled with it in my Linux-discovery days (not that I'm any kind of pro! on the contrary) and found it to be rather OK, but right now I dont want to waste any time getting to know a different structure, different package manager, etc etc. That takes time and I'd like to focus on some important objectives on 2014.

Thanks for the tip though! (And for the read! Very excited for being noticed on the big orange ocean.)

All valid points! I hate dual booting, however. Tried many times and I never actually boot into the second OS. And, yeah, definitely should have not left my usb stick at home.

It's based on the also excellent grunt-release. https://github.com/geddski/grunt-release/

It was kinda abondoned, though.
