Thanks for the hard work aaalex!schaphtTue, 10 Nov 2009 08:40:13 -0000http://apprentice.kfitz.me/2009/10/02/a-shout-out-corey-haines/#comment-19302151And much like every person I've ever heard on the radio (or podcasts in this case), he looks nothing like what I expected him to. Go figure.schaphtWed, 07 Oct 2009 10:12:06 -0000http://matschaffer.com/2009/10/javascript-templates/#comment-18505101I'll see if I can get some of my coworkers to comment as well, but the decision largely came down to the use of spans and classes for interpolation and iteration.<br><br>We're pretty comfortable with spans and classes designating style. The general consensus seemed to be that giving them a second purpose (content) was a poor fit. We use a lot of Freemarker so Trimpath's use of ${} was a more comfortable progression. Of course I'm sure you could apply this concept to PURE just as easily, so feel free to fork if it if you find it useful.schaphtSun, 04 Oct 2009 14:32:14 -0000http://apprentice.kfitz.me/2009/09/28/just-some-kid/#comment-17775825Well said, man. This definitely flies in the face of every job description I've never seen, but that's probably a good thing. I'm looking forward to the next posts and hope to hear your thoughts on why "solo" or "masterless" is such a common case for developers and what it might take to get people thinking about software more like traditional crafts.schaphtTue, 29 Sep 2009 11:20:42 -0000http://matschaffer.com/2009/08/hars-opinions-on-javascript-testing/#comment-17016185Thanks for the support! I see the cool factor but "getting the hang of it" would become a speed-bump when trying to introduce the tool to the rest of my team (~40 devs total). And the specs won't be worth much if I'm the only one using them. I'll hit you up in IRC once I get started for sure.schaphtSun, 20 Sep 2009 23:49:15 -0000http://matschaffer.com/2009/08/hars-opinions-on-javascript-testing/#comment-17014123Thanks for chiming in TJ! I think JSpec will be the next tool I look at for testing. The features definitely look good, I just worry that a number of your opinions won't mesh with the projects I need to test. We'll see how flexible it is once I start digging in.schaphtSun, 20 Sep 2009 23:21:32 -0000http://matschaffer.com/2009/08/hars-opinions-on-javascript-testing/#comment-15465653Right on. Thanks for the check. I too often forget to revisit the YUI suite since I initially used it in 2005 when it only had a small handful of tools. Maybe I'll do another post with that and a deeper dive into JSpec.schaphtThu, 27 Aug 2009 09:21:33 -0000http://blog.heroku.com/archives/2009/4/7/config-vars/#comment-8058269+1, good feature.<br><br>Have you considered making a config:edit command that would work similar to svn's propedit command? I'm sure folks would appreciate this once their configs start growing larger.schaphtFri, 10 Apr 2009 13:52:24 -0000http://matschaffer.com/2009/03/isepta-train-view/#comment-7759557Glad you like it!<br><br>I have a feature request pretty similar to that here:<br><a href="http://iseptatrainview.uservoice.com/pages/general/suggestions/150199" rel="nofollow">http://iseptatrainview.uservoice.com/pages/gene...</a><br><br>Do you think that'd cover it? Rather than a custom name like "Home" I may just take the destination name from iSepta and display that at the bottom or top of the widget.schaphtThu, 02 Apr 2009 16:50:59 -0000http://matschaffer.com/2008/12/groovy-unit-tests-on-maven-eclipse/#comment-6867962Glad I could help! I might have to give Guice a try too.schaphtWed, 04 Mar 2009 08:01:13 -0000http://matschaffer.com/2008/12/groovy-unit-tests-on-maven-eclipse/#comment-6847725I haven't tried the testng groovy integration. All my tests extend groovy.util.GroovyTestCase which I believe is JUnit by definition. I would expect that for TestNG tests to work correctly you'll need to include TestNG as a dependency in your pom.<br><br>Also I had a lot of issues getting groovy tests to work in eclipse until I started putting them under src/test/java. But gmaven worked regardless of where the tests were.schaphtTue, 03 Mar 2009 15:57:14 -0000http://matschaffer.com/2008/11/my-new-x-plat-strategy/#comment-6279148I'm a little bit depressed that although this was intended as a joke, I'm now part of the "Cross Platform" team.

Feel free to email me a patch or pull request on github. I might just hack it in there myself.schaphtSun, 05 Oct 2008 21:39:43 -0000http://www.matschaffer.com/2008/09/were-homeowners/#comment-2639400Thanks, man. Yeah, the mortgage agent hooked me up pretty well to, I think :)schaphtFri, 26 Sep 2008 08:15:21 -0000http://plpatterns.com/post/42929867#comment-952703That's fair. I'm sure I could use some practice, but I think de-normalized, amortized over write storage is something that's still tricky for folks that came into software development over the past few years. Myself included.schaphtSun, 20 Jul 2008 21:31:51 -0000http://plpatterns.com/post/42929867#comment-951639I don't get grasp how to structure application data for de-normalized storage (e.g., BigTable, HBase). My brain instantly jumps to building entity relationships which I'm sure don't hold up in that model.schaphtSun, 20 Jul 2008 18:02:04 -0000
