  • collintmiller Collin Miller You've got to look at something and see what it isn't.

    A loaf of bread doesn't have slices.

    And then don't be afraid to fill in the missing pieces.     3 years ago Reply

  • collintmiller Collin Miller Well of course it's not all those things.

    Just like PHP isn't Rails.

    And Rails isn't Merb.

    And Firefox isn't Mosaic.

    And the lightbulb isn't a gas lamp

    And Merb doesn't provide a WebSocket api.     3 years ago Reply

  • collintmiller Collin Miller Don't be satisified by your tools.

    I mean, I know firebug is awesome. I use it all the time. It's probably my favorite tool I have.

    But really, it sort of sucks.

    Firebug makes me want to do thinks with Firebug that Firebug can't do.

    It's great for editing stylesheets.

    Unless you wan't to add a new selector.

    It's awesome for editing DOM... no, actually it's awful for that.

    It's a decent debugger. But debugging sucks.

    One of the problems with FireBug is that it doesn't understand which parts of my page were created by a loop in my templates.

    It's also not a real-time collaborative editor for web applications.     3 years ago Reply

  • collintmiller Collin Miller I can't tell you want to do to have your work be influential 40 or 50 or hundreds of years from now.

    But I have an idea of something not to do.     3 years ago Reply

  • collintmiller Collin Miller I'm saying this because Social Network == a gem.

    A few of them as far as I can tell.     3 years ago Reply

  • collintmiller Collin Miller And that means invention.

    I'm not kidding when I bring up Engelbart and Kay.

    There is just as much to invent today as there was 50 years ago. Or 500 years ago for that matter.

    So don't despair, and don't do boring stuff.     3 years ago Reply
