xomateix··on Show HN: Fiddle.md – a collaborative writing tool by Swipe
I've played a bit and it looks really interesting.

I see you currently support saving the fiddles to dropbox. Do you plan to add other storage systems?

I'm thinking it would be great to use that along with github to write documentation or even websites using jekyll.

xomateix··on Show HN: Functors, Applicative Functors and Monads in PHP
+1

Out of curiosity, just a quick question (disclaimer: it's been a while since I've been doing any PHP - I think it was 5.3)...

Although the language had some OO capabilities, I wouldn't have defined PHP as an OO language but more of a procedural/imperative language.

Has it changed lately? I mean, are there new libraries, frameworks and so that are more OO?

Thanks :)

xomateix··on What is good code? A scientific definition
I don't think the post wants to be scientific and stands at the beginning to be pseudo-scientific (actually, aren't all investigations based on methods like surveys or questionnaires pseudo-scientific by definition?).

On the other hand it also says: "To be fair, it’s also true that some of the developers had given that for granted (or at least that’s what they said when asked) but it can be symptom of some underlying problem."

So it's true that most of the developers asked assumed that the code was correct already but, in my experience, I've also seen in some cases (too many) that some developers believe that they are above everything and they don't worry enough about the value that the code should delivere.

I think it's the same symptom as the "throw over the wall" problem. Some developers tend not to worry about anything that is not coding.
