I'm a big fan of awesome curated lists (GitHub) repos. In fact, if you check out https://github.com/trending every once in awhile you'll come across some pretty interesting/fun markdown initiatives of just developers curating information/knowledge e.g. https://github.com/wesbos/awesome-uses; at first glance it looks like a curated cool kids club, but man I wish we knew more about our heros (pr0gr4mm1ng g0ds) responsible for building X,Y,Z running all across the internet; most of them aren't social butterflies and care not to share this sort of stuff. They're interested in building their brand or educating others cause they're too busy hacking on stuff. You gotta take them out of their element and Terry Gross their ass. I'd love so much if people smarter than me would once in awhile stream anything, anywhere! Seeing their work-flow streamed and approach to doing work, solving problems etc. is just too good to pass up.
Frameworks help, but they sometimes feel like rigid cheats for getting by. I guess what I wanna know is did you experience something similar when making the transition from writing short and simple programs for a local interpreter or compiler to writing applications that required some sort of network protocol like HTTP?
I don't think I'm having trouble seeing the "big picture" while building out application X, but sometimes I think my assumptions of HTTP and my application's hypothetical "big picture" are in conflict.
Where did you start? I'm gonna assume here (http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/, http://diveintohtml5.org/); suggestions, examples, blogs, resources, insights, blah, blah are appreciated as always.
I know it's not just me and I'm not trying to act as if I'm a special case, but the biggest problem I see w/ office chairs is they don't support a proper posture while sitting at a computer. For instance, I often find myself slouching or trying to reconfigure my arm-chair height so I can jump from the keyboard to the mouse w/o much effort.
Again not to sound like a special case, but I have extremely long legs (high-waist line, like a woman...) and short torso, I don't know if this physical feature is affecting my posture in normal office chairs, but Aeron seems to effect my posture enough that it makes a huge difference.
