Elitism at it's best. Sheesh. There's about a thousand different ways this guy could have made his complaint known without raging like that.

Worst? I find my elitism is much better communicated snidely and with brevity. That person is just a boor. flovilmart shows himself to be a cool cucumber, he never took the bait once (which is what this person wanted.)

I'm not sure it's elitism. I think tenshihan is expressing himself this way because he's so frustrated with the ecosystem. To add insult to injury, hramos did close the ticket. Just bam closed the ticket. That's lost critical information if not acted upon, especially when it's a critical blocker.

I wouldn't even call this elitism. Elitism implies the person is superior to others. The guy is clearly the most novice and unprofessional person in the thread.

Seriously, who is going to want to become a better coder if that's how the self-proclaimed to programmers inform others?

To be honest, encountering this kind of crap at work is making me want to quit the industry. (I've been in it for 15 years)

Disclaimer: I know these guys through TechStars.

I see a lot of complaints about stagnation on SoundCloud, and while I'm not a user, I completely understand the frustration that brings.

There's a new kid on the block with these kind of services, clyp.it. I liken them to imgur for audio, focusing around music for the most part.

They've got strong ties to the community and even have some big names using their tool like Eric Clapton.

The community aspects are still being worked out, but I know they're actively looking for feedback to help build that out to be the best it can be.

If you check them out and have suggestions, I know they'd love to hear it (There's a link to their twitter on their site)

Thanks for the heads-up about the site - honestly I've found a lot of good, new, or developing channels through this site and comments like yours. I've taken a look and joined up, and will be definitely interested to play around with it! This fits perfectly in the discussion in my opinion. Looking forward to exploring more.

That seems to happen a lot. Every time something gets posted it seems to get down. That said, I'm pretty sure it's just one guy managing it all as a side project, so it makes sense that he wouldn't want to pay for an expensive host for all the traffic he gets.

Evan Czaplicki was actually hired by Prezi to work exclusively on Elm, so the project has industry backing.

It was intermittently up and down last night (US Central Time) before I posted this.

Not yet, but they're getting to be. I've seen a few pop up for Halloween this year then there's a few touristy cities out there that permanently have them.

Great idea. Very clean and easy to understand UI. I'll take a look at the plugin API. Looks like it'd be a breeze to add to.

But... Why? This isn't explained at all in the article. Why would we need to run a 4 hour long build process? I could google it, sure. But the article should probably also mention that. Anyway, if anyone cares to enlighten me...

I'm not completely sure why the build time is so long, but I have a few guesses. I think that Chromium is compiling for many many different platforms when it builds which would explain the huge required space. In addition it is compiling all of its dependencies along with it, instead of linking them like so many other libraries do. And the 3rd thing is that my computer is not that fast.

Didn't see it, but I created my own :)

Huh. Never new about meteor debug. That's pretty awesome.

Same here. Though I have a Webstorm license and that has worked quite well for the server side debug. Good to know though that 'meteor debug' exists.

Thanks. Yeah, always one of those 'wow' moments during my Mastering Meteor class :)

You could easily use something like Mailinator (or their Pro service) for something like this.

Man, there are so many choices for things like this these days. Meteor is kinda my go-to, but this does look pretty nifty. That said, I think I'm better of sticking with what I know while it's still in it's infancy than jumping from stack to stack.

Meteor is great, too. If you're looking for an integrated A/B testing module or 1st party PostgreSQL support, you should have a look at Node on Fire.
