I wanted to do this. This post finally made me get off my ass and do it. Hopefully it lasts - Deepak Jois

@thaths: You almost look like a Chinese in this video :P - Bharat Shetty

Thaths appears at ~01:00 in the video, looking 100% like a tourist ;-) I've only experienced partial eclipses, this one is surreal, the total darkness!!! - Ashwin Nanjappa

I can see your point but I think he is referring more to complete products where the code itself is not the product (like it is in open source like you described), so I'd give him the benefit of the doubt here :) - Chu Yeow

You're right lol, I forgot about his legions of other readers. I actually thought that the post was trying to say that code (and building a product along with the code) is NOT trivial but I think that'd be hard to extract from the post for different people. - Chu Yeow

woot! - Thaths

I am still reeling from this news. I never imagined this would happen! - Deepak Jois

It's a rough life. - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

有中文字幕就爽啦 - 佛陀

"I stopped thinking in terms of problem solving, modelling, structuring, simulating, all the mental tools that I used for ‘work’ went out the door. I got to the point where, when I was making a cup of tea, I was able to concentrate all my effort in making that one cup of tea, and drinking it. I became single-minded. If I wished to do something, I did it with a complete focus. Mind you, I was not managing difficult problems. I was trying to get things done such as ‘eat something’ and ‘drive to the next village, where I can eat something’. Occasionally I had to convert longitude-latitude into map grids, but that was a simple task with a calculator. Then all of a sudden, when I was driving to the next village so I could eat something, in the expanse of the Mongolian desert, I had an epiphany. A part of my brain that was turned off eight months ago, spontaneously rebooted. Wherever I saw, I saw patterns. They arranged themselves into problems, which I’d try and solve." - arunthampi from Bookmarklet

I'm with Gary, a change can be as good as a rest. If you stop loving something that you enjoy, it's 'cos you're not doing it anymore. - Andy Croll

The accent is not bad, but the singing is quite bad ;). - Deepak Jois

nguink quink...:) - Herry

"He advocates putting 85-90% of your investment money into something extremely stable, like treasury notes. The other 10-15%, invest it in the riskiest things you can find - things where a black swan might make it go crazy." - Chu Yeow from Bookmarklet

Awesome! - Deepak Jois

You finally watched it! So what did you like about it? If you liked this and did not like Manorama Down Under, then I am missing something. - Deepak Jois

Manorama is very slow moving! This keeps up the pace with a mix of humour, drama, etc. And I loved the bitter-sweet ending. - Deepak Sarda

Interesting. Added to my list :) - Deepak Jois

"Django is pretty powerful technology as well. " — no, it's not. "Rails is no longer that far ahead" — Rails is FAR ahead any other web framework. Nothing bad will happen with Rails share. - yaroslav

The relevant question is: what is the value of 'attitude' ? Does it contribute to rails or detract from it ? I'd say the latter. I think some rails programmers have taken 'expression' too far. Why mix programming with personality ? Has programming crossed from being a creative tool to being creative outlet ? Is it plaguing ruby community more than others, because ruby facilitates programmer expression ? - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick

Just read DHH's ostrich-in-the-sand reply. More attitude. - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick

I think there's a good middle ground that doesn't involve a fake accent nor a singlish accent. Some people do it pretty well. - Chu Yeow

(this is entirely satirical, btw) - Sunny Wong

Lol this video is full of fail. Question: "What are your best assets?" Answer: "My boobs because I spent a lot of money on it lah" - Chu Yeow

LOL! - Deepak Jois

Naayce! - arunthampi

Fixed. Now our ruby encrusted lion's looking majestic. Thx Andy! - Jason
