PGP is great. Everybody in tech has the skills to use it. But for non tech people it is still to difficult. But since the NSA affairs many crypto parties happened, specially in Germany. On this crypto parties tech people are teaching non tech people how to crypt emails with PGP. I think that is a good start and I hope we will see more crypto parties in future.

Did you try the search on VersionEye? http://www.versioneye.com/?ab=b

Thanks for posting this article! I totally agree that every software developer should use a package manager to manage his dependencies. Downloading binaries with a browser is totally 1995.

There are a couple more package managers I missed in the article. For example the new package manager for PHP, called composer. It is very similar to NPM from NodeJS. And there are already more than 17K projects on the central repository. You can check out the numbers here: http://www.versioneye.com/php

Another really big one is Maven for Java. There are more than 80K Project available through Maven Repositories. Maven is the most complex package manager I know. But I guess that is natural for Enterprise :-) I prefer more simple package managers.

On this page you can see how many projects are available through each package manager: http://www.versioneye.com/statistics. Bower and other package managers will be integrated in the next weeks.

Thanks for the hint. Will do.

Well, that is automation. You automate a process because you don't wanna run everything manually in your shell. From VersionEye you get notifications about outdated libraries. But not just that. The tool also shows a list of licenses you are using in your project.

We have 8. The 8th is JavaScript. But the language page for JavaScript doesn't look very fancy currently. That's why we removed the icon from the landing page. But you can for example follow jQuery-mobile here: http://www.versioneye.com/javascript/jquery:jquery-mobile/1....

What is the reason to use a continuous integration system like travis-ci.com, or codeship.io? You could simple run "rspec" in your shell! The reason is automation!

You are welcome to visit the VersionEye office at Brunnenstrasse 181 in Berlin Mitte, close to St.Oberholz. We share a big office with 3 other StartUps. We are 3 people in the office working every day on http://www.versioneye.com. I am currently not in Berlin but you can use my desk anyway. @timgluz on twitter can let you in. Just contact him.

Take a look to the Atmosphere Framework: http://www.ncolomer.net/2012/03/cometwebsocket-introducing-t...

Visual Basic! Haha .. just kidding! My favourite is Ruby. It is simple enough that you don't need a 500 MB tool to edit your code ;-)

Java? Really? The JVM is kind of cool but Java as language not at all. There are other languages much more simple and beautiful. That's at least my opinion.

If you want to engineer something you should learn about software design pattern. The wiki page is a good start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_design_pattern.

JAX-RS is just not fun! That's at least my opinion. I just took a brief look to spark-java but it looks more fun than JAX-RS, because it looks very simple and straight forward. That's at least my first impression.

Some people just don't have any sense for humour. Don't laugh! Don't have fun! Be serious! Because the world is not serious enough!

Sure! There are already companies offering this to StartUps. Even remote workers are doing advertising for managing social media channels. But most StartUps just have a student for this job.

LOL. I just saw the first slide and I had to up vote it :-D

Why not just using MongoID? I think MongoID is already pretty simple. But I am open for other opinions.

My theory is that the German Government is jealous. They would like to have the all the user data the people are giving to google for free. But actually it's pretty sad. I am a German guy and I am totally annoyed by all this internet laws in my country. The Government has no idea how the internet is working. They should more focus on other problems. For example Banks!

Hello No. But it is a very interesting idea.

For me a good profile on Stackoverflow & GitHub has more value than a master degree from Stanford.

Thanks for posting this! I think there is a lot of true in it.

Cool! Is your blogging platform on GitHub? OpenSource? I am looking for blogging software in ruby, which I can customise for my own needs.

Congratulation! I wish you all the best.

That sounds like a good mix. Keep it up.

I am sorry that you don't have family left anymore. Yes that can be annoying. But you could use the time for activities where you don't need consultants. I am using the time to do SEO for my Start-Up. And I am pre writing blog posts and saving them as drafts. I will post them somewhere in January.

node.js is on my todo list. Heared many cool things about it.

:-) Nothing wrong with that.

Another solution is CloudControl: https://www.cloudcontrol.com/for-developers. This is a provider from Berlin / Germany.

There are a couple of non profit organisation looking for good coders. One of them is Campus Party Europe: http://www.campus-party.eu/2012/index.html. As far as I know the next Campus Party Europe event will be in the Bay Area / California. And they always looking for volunteers.
