I watched a few of his videos, and he seems to be a guy who just likes to talk moreso than intelligently research topics. I suspect he read a variety of sources (that he did not fully understand) and then compiled them into a single video; he makes some valid points, although I doubt he truly understands the valid points he made.
For a video of him embarassing himself, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vva61qqKh_4[^]

One of the comments seems to sum it up:
"Another no-education self-educated web developer who thinks programming == web development? Sigh..."

Yeah, I saw this video along with his rant on CGI everywhere. It's pretty clear that he really doesn't understand the technology he is talking about. NodeJS is far from a cure-all... but it does *VERY* well for the things it's actually being used for the most.

They do have a free version[^]. It's limited - of course - but certainly enough to learn off of, and to learn if there is a market for your app.

Anyone familiar with CSS knows that classes are generally reserved for controlling how an element looks (font, color, size, etc) and rules are generally reserved for where the element is positioned on the screen. The reason for this is that rules correspond to the id attribute of the elements on the screen and if you are using well formed html, you can only have one element on the page with any specific ID. That is, IDs are unique. However, ASP.NET uses that exact same feature of IDs… that they are unique.. to ensure that an ASP.NET control or an HTML control with the runat=”server” attribute set also have unique IDs, and this is where all the problems start... Unique IDs, unique problems.

Today, I finally got my first Windows 8 app into the marketplace. It was certainly not for a lack of trying, however. I actually failed my first FIVE attempts, but I chalk most of that up to inexperience more than anything else. This post is meant to shed some light on the issues I faced, so that you might be lucky enough to avoid them. Windows App Certification Kit is WACK.

I would add 2 more:
- Make sure to include privacy page in the windows charm/settings
- check if your app runs in docked mode, and even if it does, cross your fingers and hold your breath.
Overall I found Win8 store certification much more capricious and unpredictable then even iTunes which should say a lot.

I once got them saying that I had submitted my app to the wrong category and then when I resubmitted, it was fine.

Annual reviews are a reminder that your reputation matters. For most of the year, software engineers don’t care at all what anybody else thinks as long as they’re getting the job done. Then annual reviews come along and we realize we might have rubbed some people the wrong way.... What makes it more difficult for software engineers is that we deal so much with code that we sometimes forget how important it is to deal with people. Do you have any idea what your reputation at work is right now?

PM says he is glad to have me in the team.
Boss says he likes working together with me 'cause I can adapt new facts very fast (Let's be honest: It is called learning by doing).
Ex-Boss from the other department is still missing me.
I think I can say that I have built-up myself a respectable and solid reputation - Even though I am still an Apprentice.

I want to be known as the kind of software engineer who is happy with his job and paycheck.

I have been called "The Messiah" and "Moses" in places I've worked at. At the moment, I'm not sure.

Why do the words “we accept pull requests” have such a stigma? Why were they cringe-inducing when I spoke them? Because too many OSS projects use these words as an easy way to shut people up. We (the collective of OSS project owners) can too easily jump to this phrase when we don’t want to do something ourselves. If we don’t see the value in a feature, but the requester persists, we can simply utter, “We accept pull requests,” and drop it until the end of days or when a pull request is submitted, whichever comes first. The phrase now basically means, “Buzz off!”

I’ve regularly received questions from developer friends who are a bit baffled with images and the somewhat confusing formats. I’m also heard from some developers that they hate receiving a PSD with no instructions and having to wade through the overwhelming options of Photoshop. This short guide is aimed at explaining the basics of image formats and giving you some simple rules that you can apply everyday when you are actually trying to get [work] done with Photoshop. The ABCs of JPGs, PNGs, and more.

Quote: Progressive means that the JPG is downloaded in chunks and after only a little of the image has downloaded it will be displayed full size, but blurry. As more of the file is download the image will rerender with a higher degree of clarity. Without progressive JPGs need to completely download before displaying, leaving a glaring open space on your page. Having something there, even if it is a chunky and blurry version, is a better experience. I always use progressive and it generally doesn’t impact files ize much, but keep an eye on the file size in case.
Bleck! Maybe for navigation images a chunky version might be beneficial, but even on a slow connection those still load rapidly. 99% of the time when I notice a progressive JPG my only reaction is to snarl about the serious of bletcherous low quality versions wasting some of the servers pathetically low bandwidth and making me wait even longer for the only version I want to see to actually load.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

LG announced yesterday that it would be acquiring webOS from HP to use in LG smart televisions. The company has inherited all of the rights to the source code for webOS, including documentation and engineers, as well as all of its related websites. But what about projects like Open webOS and webOS Ports? Open source will be alive and well at LG. Famous last words?

Internet Explorer 10 is available worldwide in 95 languages for download today. We will begin auto updating Windows 7 customers to IE10 in the weeks ahead, starting today with customers running the IE10 Release Preview. With this final release, IE10 brings the same leading standards support, with improved performance, security, privacy, reliability that consumers enjoy on Windows 8, to Windows 7 customers. Windows 7, Windows 8, IE9, IE10... Does this one go to 11?

Wow. This is certainly a departure. If you're going to charge an obscene premium for a laptop with an incredibly limited OS, you'd better produce something that is incredibly well-made. In that regard, the Chromebook Pixel is a complete success. If you'll forgive us just one cliche, Google has gone from zero to hero with the Pixel. It's truly something to behold. This amazing laptop runs... a browser?
