baud | 15 years ago | on: Node Nerd - node.js links and tutorials

while i enjoy node as much as the next guy, i think that blog misses a few key usability features:

  -archive section (its not fun to scroll down n pages to check out what the page is about - you could argue to check the RSS feed, but really...)

  -tags (not every post is tagged so ...)

  -short description for every post (allows to have more posts in the main page without having to endless scroll)

baud | 15 years ago | on: What is Traitorware?

My first thought was this scenario:

Company A with software X.

Employees from Company A defect to Company B and "recreate" software X. Hence Traitorware!

Have to start clicking before thinking.

But getting on track with topic, we could also consider cookies a somewhat primitive form of Traitorware...

baud | 15 years ago | on: I taught myself Ruby on Rails--what should be my next app?

The first thing i would start by learning is HTML/CSS/Javascript(and ajax, perhaps while learning a lib like jquery). If you are interested in web development (and to learn rails i guess you are) you need the basis of the web. Try http://code.google.com/intl/pt-PT/edu/ajax/index.html for some learning materials. Afterwards, with some pratice you can start by building your portfolio (can be one or many depends on the qualitiy i guess) and then i would say you more than to strap on your job helmet, and squeeze down into a job cannon and fire off into job land, where jobs grow on jobbies!
