Dunno about podcasts, but IMO the fastest way to build powerful webapps is brandid.github.io/parse-angular-demo

but regarding the rest of the design, I think its a huge improvement.
If you're argument is about what Ember 'encourages' vs what AngularJS 'encourages', that is your opinion and not a weakness in the framework.
I think it's great you've taken some time to learn AngularJS, and I think if you dig a little deeper you will be pleasantly surprised with what you find.
What's your take on points #1, #2, #3 and #5?

"In AngularJS, every time you visit a route, it passes an idand has to resolve it in your controllers."
- not true, just use nested controllers and prototypical inheritance to access the already resolved object
"AngularJS doesn’t follow this philosophy; it encourages you to throw away what you already had and find it again (probably from the server!)."
- not true, thats why $rootScope exists
"None of the examples or blogs I read through demonstrated how to reuse object instances, for example. Is that just not done in AngularJS?"
- not true, all scopes inherit from each other, javascript prototypical inheritance applies
"The problem is that the $watch function belongs to the $scope and NOT the Room."
- not true, you can put a $watch on the model if use Backbone for your models
"If you had an array of Room instances for example, you can’t watch them all without looping through them all constantly."
- not true, you can watch a collection of models, and you can do things like watch the length of the array for less processor intensive use of $watch
Awaiting a Sublime Text plugin or growl integration, as email is not really in my workflow.
Having been with nodejitsu for 4 months now, I can say with confidently that they provide the best support out there. 24/7 IRC support with guys that go beyond the call of duty is worth way more than $3.
Yes, jitsu deploy used to have its 500 problems, but when we reduced our package size these all went away. We've had +98% deploy success for the last 4 weeks.
Yes, they are working on enterprise solutions, and if you're paying for enterprise, nobody forced you to buy into a provider that is less than 3 months old.
Nodejitsu have teething problems, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm happy with the experience, and nobody has a gun to my head to stick with nodejitsu if I didn't want to.
What I really liked about Sparrow was the "hold to mark as read/unread", tap title to see all emails in convo, swipe up/down for next/prev, and the unified inbox. If it has all those, I would consider it.
Ask yourself, would you say this to Stevie's face? If the answer is no, move on. If the answer is yes, I'm sure he'd oblige.
For the record, Stevie is one of the most talented and well respected members of the UK tech community, so once again, think before you comment.
