A 12kg weight hanging 6 feet in the air seems a little dangerous to me. Definitely less dangerous than a kerosene lamp, but I'd be worried about poorly attached weights falling if someone bumps their head on it.

Do you own a TV? It's certainly way more dangerous than that.

I completely agree. I had never programmed before my first college course, and while I had a lot of fun in intro programming courses, I always felt way behind everyone else and didn't do particularly well. Those first couple of classes filtered me out of any chance at getting into the CS major, and I ended up transferring schools to study it.

Edit - that's what I get for reading comments before the article. But the dictionary is on Netflix, and worth watching.

What dictionary is on the Netflix?

It seems that I'm too tired to use my phone to type anything correctly. The documentary "Helvetica" is on Netflix. :)

Might have meant to say documentary. There is one about Helvetica, named so.

My understanding of all of this is beginner level at best, but isn't that more or less what waterline does? https://github.com/balderdashy/waterline-docs

Based on a quick look at the documentation, i think the API Waterline exposes to clients is not an imitation of the MongoDB API, which would allow PostgreSQL to be used as a drop-in replacement for MongoDB. Rather, it's its own thing.

Waterline does support both MongoDB and PostgreSQL, though, so you could use it as part of a migration strategy: start with MongoDB, install Waterline backed by MongoDB, migrate your app to use Waterline rather than using MongoDB directly, replace MongoDB with PostgreSQL.

I think this looks great. Thought I'd let you know I found a typo though. In the jQuery section, last paragraph, "Riot takes a puristic approach and does not allow you to do mix any logic inside HTML views."

Reminds me of Clayton Christensen's book How Will You Measure Your Life? which deals with questions of dividing time between work and family. It isn't long and I'm glad I read it (though I wouldn't call it a page turner). One of the points he makes is that your family life is like any other investment, and you need to actively invest in it to be able to get a good return later in life.

I use iwantmyname.com, I switched from godaddy a while ago. It was very easy to switch, I'd recommend it.

I have way less experience than you, I'm 24 and still in school, but I feel like the people I work with have a much bigger impact on how I feel about work than the work itself. I don't expect or want to be best friends with everyone I work with, but I think that basically anything can be enjoyable if you enjoy spending time with your coworkers. So my opinion, for what it's worth, would be to look for people that you would be excited to work with more than a project you'd be excited to work on.

It scares me that you're 25 and feeling burned out, I worry about that sometimes.
