I've been spending some time with Jeff Atwood's Discourse* lately. Meaty new concepts and taught me a lot.

Ruby on Rails + Emberjs. Nice to see how they've integrated the two technologies and how some of the decisions they've are very different from the Ruby community at large (SQL queries over Active Record pattern, data serializers etc).

ZOMG!

Have you played with QQQQ ..k ...5 yet??

Nothing is forever. Facebook did great and will be around for many years to come but history strongly suggests that it will go the way of AOL, Yahoo, Microsoft etc.

History repeating itself, Facebook will go the way of AOL and Yahoo. The real winners are the future entrepreneurs who will receive funding from the thousand odd millionaires this has made

The people who will make money of Facebook going public are making it right now... The idea of having shares in Facebook scares the bejeezus out of me

Great post.

Have you played around with some of the Rack based gems out there like Split?

Thanks! This gem looks interesting but doesn't apply here since with Jekyll you're basically serving static html pages (hence the need to make the A/B split with JavaScript).

Agreed, I'm kinda surprised so many people are talking about it. You might as well write a series on whether to be religious or not... nobody's business but yours.

It would be interesting to show the salaries as a ratio of average cost of living and then compare it to Madison Ave salaries in the 80's... my bet is average has gone dowwwwwwwn.
