So I have been a Rubyist for most of my professional life and I was looking to build a static JSON hosting service when I explored Crystal and Amber and within two days of picking it up, had deployed it to production.
Let's see if Hacker News traffic can bring the $5/mo server down.
I wonder how much of this is already supported by framework (specifically thinking about Rails). Things like ETag caching and Options requests look like they should be handled for you.
I've recently (since about 5 months) started learning Piano (or rather, keyboard) and I've looked forward to playing it everyday. It's relaxing and helps me reduce the stress. Plus, it helps me get out of my comfort zone and give me wonderful new perspective on things.
And for the past 2 months, I am also taking tennis lessons, and they've had unexpected positive influences on my life. I am waking early everyday to play, I've improved my stamina, and I get a solid sleep at the end of the day because physical activity tires out over the day and you easily sleep.
I'm trying to learn guitar and although I mostly enjoy it, I can't say I look forward to my 30 minutes of practice each day (although once I'm going I usually go long).
The problem that I see here is that development.kitchen needs quality traffic to provide that feedback, which sounds like the most difficult part of running this service.
I don't live in the United States so my purchasing power from two hours of work is exponentially smaller, but I get your point. Truth is, I don't really use Sublime (or any other text editor) that often anymore, because I'm working with Java and using IntelliJ IDEA for that. If I used Sublime Text professionally, I (or my employer) would have bought the licence in a heartbeat.
