geldan··on Concurrent JavaScript: It can work
No, but it's very nice to be able to share code for things like view rendering or form validation between the server and client without jumping through hoops.
geldan··on Node.js is forked to Ayo.js (pronounced like “IO”)
Silly node, emphasizing tech.
geldan··on Software Developers after 40, 50 and 60 Who're Still Coding
I hope it does. If doctors are replaced it's because medical care has improved beyond their capabilities. How could you not want better medical care?
geldan··on Visual Studio Code 1.8
It's not better. I'd say that the Jetbrains integrated debugging is superior.
geldan··on Does It Make Sense for Programmers to Move to the Bay Area?
Seattle has no income tax, and sales tax doesn't apply to most food from the grocery store, so taxes in Seattle really depend on how you choose to spend your money.
geldan··on Introducing .NET Standard
Except browser tooling, where they are far ahead of others.
geldan··on Search Results are officially AMP’d
Yes, but even if you follow all of the best practices and deliver a fast page, your site won't show up as "AMPed." In order to be "AMPed" it appears that you need to employ a whole slew of custom elements and syntax.

Unless I am missing something in these examples: https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/tree/master/examples

geldan··on Search Results are officially AMP’d
This feels very regressive. I thought we got rid of "m." for a reason.

Is there anyway to effectively "AMP" a page without maintaining a separate set of HTML/CSS/JS?

geldan··on Why Learning Angular 2 Was Excruciating
You do so in a derogatory manner, but you bring up a decent point. This doesn't really seem to be a JavaScript issue so much as an open source issue.
geldan··on Stepping down as Nodevember organizer
I don't think it's reasonable that the organizer not be held accountable. From this article:

> By the time I’d received notice of the event unfolding on the evening of 2016-09-01, the decision was already made by the main organzier, swiftly and without discussion.

> And in a moment of confusion, a poor decision was made to remove Douglas Crockford as a speaker, by the main organizer.

Just because the organizer was put in a tough position doesn't mean they shouldn't be held accountable for making the wrong decision.
