This is entirely in the wrong place.

/r/coding is probably a better fit.

It's not really fair to compare RoR to PHP. It would be more fair to compare, say, RoR to CodeIgniter.

That said, I mostly don't blame the language. It has some odd quirks, yes, but I think the problem is with the developers. Even if a lot of us got started with PHP, most good developers branch out and try other languages as they become more experienced. Whereas crappy developers tend to stick with the same language, writing the same crappy code over and over.

I have the impression that Rails jobs are very rare.

Not really. They're more rare than PHP jobs, for sure, but there are also a lot fewer Rails devs than there are PHP devs. Unfortunately I can't find the graph, but in a relatively recent comparison of <language> job listings to available <language> devs, there were actually more available, listed jobs in Python and Ruby per available developer, than there were for PHP - even though there were many times more jobs listed for PHP devs. I'm not entirely sure, but I think the comparison was made on the stackexchange job board.

As a dev who works mostly with PHP, I second this.

Seriously though, I've worked with really nice codebases written in PHP, but I've worked with far more horribly written PHP. Staying away from PHP will probably decrease the risk of running into that kind of horribleness.

Spend money. If you really want to help out open source software projects, donate to them in similar amounts that you would have spent on commercial software.

And that's why you always charge by the hour.

Google Chrome Dropbox Caffeine Guake CCSM (and set up the bottom-right corner to activate the scale plugin) apache mysql php sublime text 2 virtualbox gimp 2.8 inkscape

I then remove the global menus and install a couple of VMs for IE testing.

bulletSpeed = bulletSpeed + (dt * 100)

Should be:

bulletSpeed = bulletSpeed+dt

if you want it to increase by 1 per second.

if love.mouse.isDown("1") then

Should be

if love.mouse.isDown("l") then

It's lower-case L, not the number one.

It's almost ironic that you would post that on reddit.

Anyway, searching is ridiculously hard to get right. We've had some moderate success with Solr, but I honestly can't say it's been great.

Perhaps /r/programminghorror would be a better fit.

Probably virtual machines. I do almost all my web development in Linux, so I have three virtual machines with various flavors of Windows on, to test in IE 7, 8 and 9.

You're forgetting three virtual machines with XP and W7/Vista, and IE 7, 8 and 9 on them.

when it comes to tinkering and tweaking I like doing that on the PC better.

You should give Linux a go. (Also, please stop saying PC.)

Complete opposite for me. I learned how to drive using a manual (as 99% of all cars here are automatics), but then I borrowed an automatic once, and now I never want to go back. It's just so convenient. I don't find manuals to be difficult or anything, but with automatics, I don't even have to worry about it.

There are a few downsides though. The automatic doesn't shift gears as smoothly as I do, and if I'm driving on ice and lose traction, I can't use the clutch to try and regain it.

And can you tell me in what language the code written ?

Python.

That's one hell of a coincidence, but jag skulle gärna ha svenska versioner jag med.

Sure, but he could make a lot more quite easily, if he's contributed to a few open source projects.

This hits home really hard.

It's extremely low for a programmer. I haven't even graduated, and I'm making a lot more than that.

A 24" is probably going to get you something like 1920x1080 pixels of real estate. With the two 19", you'll get 2560x1024.

This is really cool. Thank you!

The only thing I'm missing is translations. Ideally, the translations could be crowdsourced, but I'm guessing that's not a great idea for legal documents.

Definitely this. While I'd like to think that I'm a pretty nice guy these days, I was bullied in jr. high, and I took it out on one poor girl in our social circle. One day, I was cleaning out an old email account and found a terrible email I had sent her where I said all kinds of nasty things about her and her future. So I sent her a new email, explaining to her that I am now aware of what an extraordinary douche I was to her, that I regret it deeply and apologized profusely. She got back to me and told me how much it meant to her to hear me say that, and after that, we became friends again. We later drifted apart, but I know that that apology meant an awful lot to the both of us.
