Coding Horror: Visualizing Code to Fail Faster
3 days ago by earth2marsh
"Yes, it's artsy, yes these are mostly toy projects, but this isn't entirely abstract art house visualization nonsense. Designing tools that let you make rapid changes, and see the effects of those changes as soon as possible can be transformative."

Automate Everything - the hacker way | Hacker News
february 2012 by earth2marsh
""I decided to roll my own in this case because I was interested in learning about email handling after watching this great railscast from Ryan Bates. And because paying $9 per month per user for something I could probably write myself in a couple of hours seemed silly."
I find myself having to fight against this instinct almost every day. There are a couple of problems with hacking for a couple of hours to save a few bucks a month.
Firstly, you now have an additional piece of software to maintain - you're committing yourself to an unknown quantity of future work.
Secondly, your software won't get any better without you actively improving it. The nice thing about software you pay someone else for is that it gets better over time.
It's a tough instinct to fight though. Building things is Fun. It's just that there are probably other things you should be building that are more important to your company."
"As a rough guide, you might factor in another 8-10 hours, because, according to Fred Brooks, a proper programming "product" takes about x3 as long as a "program"."

CodeMirror
july 2011 by earth2marsh
"CodeMirror is a JavaScript library that can be used to create a relatively pleasant editor interface for code-like content ― computer programs, HTML markup, and similar. If a mode has been written for the language you are editing, the code will be coloured, and the editor will optionally help you with indentation."

Why I don't love JavaScript's Module Pattern
may 2009 by earth2marsh
"The Module Pattern is the use of closures to create, in essence, private functions that are only accessible by other functions created within that closure. Functions can be attached to an object and returned outside of that function call. This establishes a public API and only the functions defined within that public API will have access to those hidden functions." this makes it harder to debug

Becoming a Kick-ass PHP ninja | Md Emran Hasan (phpfour)
november 2008 by earth2marsh
"A few days back, I read a number of blog posts where people have highlighted the shortcomings they see in newbie developers. Some of them have gone further to narrow down the focus on PHP developers only (as PHP’s nature sometimes allow developers to avoid standards). They did a great job by listing the shortcomings, but their posts missed clear way forwards (these can be inferred though). A number of readers also commented on the posts with their insight as well. So I was thinking how about compiling all these in an easy to follow list? Hence this post."
