HN discussionI highly recommend this road as well. Three exercises along the lines of the parent that I found particularly valuable: 1. Compare VanillaJS TodoMVC to your framework of choice http://todomvc.com/ https://github.com/tastejs/todomvc/tree/gh-pages/examples/va... What does the framework buy you? Is the framework-powered code easier to read? Easier to understand for a newcomer to the code base? 2. Read every line of Eff…

HN discussionThat's an interesting perspective. I don't have any inherent problems with large libraries, but my problem with some of these 'monoliths' is that other libraries start to depend on the entire library when they only need a small piece of functionality that the library provides. Substack wrote an article [1] explaining some of the problems that monolithic libraries cause in an ecosystem. [1] http://substack.net/many_t…

HN discussionJoyent, Please do the classy thing and have Isaac create a NodeJS organization on Github and move the project to that organization under his stewardship. With great power came great responsibility and using the Joyent corporate blog to excoriate one of the community's most valuable contributors is the path to the dark side. http://substack.net/images/coronation.png

HN discussionBrowserify had a PR merged on master in March for switching from non-ECMA String.substr to String.slice: https://github.com/browserify/browserify/pull/2036 Apparently it's too trivial for a release but the maintainers still seem to be around.

HN discussionIt'd all be so much easier if people just stuck to what's already there. If you use NPM (which, if you're doing modern JavaScript, you should be using) you already have a task runner. If you can write shell scripts (whether actual shell scripts or just arbitrary scripts with a hashbang) you can write tasks. What's more, you can combine existing tasks and everything that has a CLI is already a task: http://substack.n…
