Really interesting article. Thanks for writing it. Looking forward to the next one.

I'm curious about how something like the Rocksmith cable works. Where in the chain does the analog-digital conversion happen?

Re: Why field injection is evil

I tend to limit my use of field injection to cases where I can provide a reasonable default. Keeps things easy to test and doesn't result in surprising null exceptions.

Okay. I figured out my problem. Missed the --cocoa flag to homebrew. [Edit: I lied, that actually doesn't fix it. Will try again later :/] [Edit 2: Okay. I'm a moron. I had a bash alias overwriting emacs (from long ago fiddling) with `open -a emacs`. Derp.]

Now to figure out what modes and such to get to approximate my vim plugins. Or is that antithetical?

I'd like to see this hypothetical guide as well.

Which version of emacs did you install? I tried homebrew and it didn't seem to provide a terminal client (i.e., `emacs -nw` didn't work). The system emacs worked fine but it seems pretty out of date (22.1.1), but maybe that doesn't matter. Is http://emacsformacosx.com/ legit?

Writing clean code that follows the SOLID principles isn't "scaffolding" or boilerplate. Doing so respects the fact that your software is going to change.

Thousands of lines of getters/setters, arcane XML configurations, slow open-source projects, and a low expressivity language are some things folks were fleeing from in the Java to Ruby transition.

Not following this advice over an embarrassing number of years is how I went from aspiring game developer to a (crappy) web developer. Just now digging myself out of the hole and trying to figure out where I want to be and what I want to be doing.

None of this has anything to do with being a hacker, other than listing some tools you might use to hack.

We are entering an era that looks a lot like the second coming of AOL, Compuserve and other walled gardens of the past.

I'm 28. I've been programming professionally for more than 10 years. I'm done. I'm getting out. Not for any one reason, but simply because I've implemented the same couple of applications over and over for the entire course of my career. Nowhere I've worked cares about building cool stuff. I'm fed up with it.

Next year I'm going to go to a vocational school and learn plumbing, metalworking/machining, or carpentry.

I'm not a Wordpress user, so I can't test it out, but would this Wiki plugin work for polishing the raw transcripts?

The typos don't bother me. My brain paves over most of them without much difficulty. Nonetheless, a wiki would be cool.

I really like the full transcripts. It's helpful since I can't watch the video at work and I don't feel like I'm missing anything by just reading the excerpts.

If you're still looking to do this. I'm in.

I'm currently working on building a product with an acquaintance. I'd put that on hold for something like this.

Give me a shout if you are serious and want to talk.
