Hi, my name is Jano González, I work for SoundCloud and I'm from Chile, so it hits me when I see latino americans been stereotyped. I don't know if we ever met, but blaming things on people with a specific nationality it's super fucked up dude, please don't do that.

janogonzalez | 13 years ago | on: Vim Koans

According to Wikipedia (I know, not the most reliable source) a Kōan is a story, dialogue, question, or statement, which is used in Zen-practice to provoke the "great doubt", and test a student's progress in Zen practice.

The main themes in this particular article are that Vi is not a silver bullet, that even using a great tool you can do a lousy lob and that tools are just tools.

So more than an "incoherent flamebait" this is a list of Kōans about Vi created by someone that uses it and other Unix tools on a daily basis (as you can see on his other posts: http://blog.sanctum.geek.nz/)

janogonzalez | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: What's the best way to learn Ruby/Rails?

First, get familiar with the language solving all the Ruby Koans http://rubykoans.com

Then go through the Rails Tutorial http://railstutorial.org

Finally, read Eloquent Ruby by Russ Olsen and The Rails 3 Way by Obie Fernández

janogonzalez | 14 years ago | on: Ask HN: Do I need a Mac in order to be taken seriously as a web developer?

Short answer: No

Long answer: The computer you use is just a tool. To be taken seriously you need to have an impressive portfolio of projects, you will be judged by your results and not by the tools you used.
