Comments(0) Great quote from Steve Yegge (in a much longer transcript on javascript):
JSON and XML are muscling in on each others’ space, and there are bristles, OK, and it’s so silly! It’s silly. The whole thing, right? I mean, XML is better if you have more text and fewer tags. And JSON is better if you have more tags and less text. Argh! I mean, come on, it’s that easy. But you know, there’s a big debate about it.
Comments(0) I’ve just made my first contribution on GitHub:
http://github.com/lightningdb/activescaffold/
Basically, I forked Active Scaffold, patched it to work with Rails 2.1, and committed back to GitHub, then sent out “pull” requests to others with related forks. Now I’ve been notified that my patch has been pulled into other forks, excellent!
Getting my head around Git hasn’t been a priority, but even with my scant knowledge, this was relatively painless. And colloborating on GitHub (even from my early impressions) just seems so natural and easy, even brilliant.
