Second the Jennifer Windom course. That's been the most useful course to my career.

People really should try reading articles before commenting.

What kind of application s would Rust be an appropriate for? What languages is it largely meant to replace/improve on.

Firefox does this.

They won't have all the pricing power because sports will be competing with each other for viewership.

This reminds of important lessons I've learned from the classic How to Win Friends and Influence People - never ever criticize people and you will get the best out of them. There are countless other great lessons in this book about being a leader and dealing with people.

Why did you sign something like that???

I've gone back to terminal on osx. Better battery life and faster than iterm2. Only thing missing is split panes but real men use tmux

Honestly the best way to learn is to be lucky enough to work at a company that faces scalability issues. Second best is to try to speak with engineers who work on this kind of stuff.

FWIW I work at such a company (Microsoft/Yammer). I've learned more in 2 months on the job than the previous year I spent reading stuff on the side. Nothing like hearing the wisdom of seasoned engineers. I'm happy to chat if you are interested.

Less tools, but stronger and sharper tools.

I'm going back to the basics. No more jumping to a new language or framework for each new project. My goal for 2015 is to have better results (output) in my projects, not focus on tools.

My goal is to learn enough Python and Javascript to build a significant sized project by the end of the year. This will be a nice change from my job where I use a Java stack (Jetty, Jersey, Jackson, Hysterix)
