Next-generation JavaScript frameworks

Web application frameworks have been developing fast in the past few years, and as the technologies that they're built on top of get more advanced, each of these frameworks is able to provide newer features to help developers build more complex applications. This year, we've seen the release of a new class of application frameworks that takes advantage of JavaScript's ability to be both on the client and the server. What this allows these frameworks to do is provide both a new level of abstraction by sharing code between client and server, as well as embrace the benefits of both client-side rendering and server-side rendering.

For the end user, they get smooth, desktop-like responsiveness from client-side rendering, while still being able to maintain the SEO and accessbility benefits of server-side rendering. For developers, that means writing less boilerplate code, and being able to focus more on writing the application logic.

Today, there are three main framew

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

GitHub OAuth Busy Developer's Guide

This is a quick guide to OAuth2 support in GitHub for developers. This is still experimental and could change at any moment. This Gist will serve as a living document until it becomes finalized at Develop.GitHub.com.

OAuth2 is a protocol that lets external apps request authorization to private details in your GitHub account without getting your password. All developers need to register their application before getting started.

	Hi everyone, I'm Chris Wanstrath.

	When Jeremy asked me to come talk, I said yes. Hell yes. Immediately. But
	then I took a few moments and thought, Wait, why? Why me? What am I supposed
	to say that's interesting? Something about Ruby, perhaps. Maybe the
	future of it. The future of something, at least. That sounds
	keynote-y.
