Why did this post disappear so quickly from the front page?

It's very on-topic, and used to be HN's sweet spot.

You just weren't meant for each other!

This article seems to be pushing Martini, which at first glance looks interesting (though it doesn't appear to have been mentioned on the mailing list even once, so there may be some boosting involved).

There is Revel, but it seems to be getting a bad rap ("non-idiomatic" label used as a stick).

I believe the scheme is still generating the token server-side, no?

"The server validates the login information and creates an authentication token for the user"

I'm not the author, I'm just curious what people think of this approach. Does it sound reasonable?

My suggestion is to simply tell the complete and honest truth, in a kind and caring manner (if you value the friendship, you could let him know that).

Every choice has a cost.

I think we're talking sneakernet here...

Cheating a bit since I didn't read the article, but having been in and out of that world for a number of years, there were always certain types of clients who didn't want to hire a company--they only wanted to deal with individuals, for reasons stated or unstated.

From a different perspective, has anyone ever taken the time to read local health department restaurant inspection reports (if available)?

I assume most people here eat at restaurants without too much concern, but if you ever read the reports, you'll find experienced industry professionals cited for far worse infractions than these.

And yet I see a lot of job ads listing MongoDB.

If I went into an interview and asked why they chose a document-oriented database, and that one in particular, think I'd be popular? (I like to play with new techologies, too, but it seems odd to see it mentioned as a requirement.)

Have you tried any of the freelance sites (oDesk, Elance, Guru, etc.)?

My two concerns would be the rate and the amount of time it takes to become somewhat established on these sites, but I believe some flexibility on the rate--which wouldn't seem unreasonable given the situation you describe--could help there (and my understanding is that some developers can raise their rates there to something approaching professional levels, with experience).

Walmarts and hospitals--I'm going to file this new information away, just in case (you never know where life will take you).
