Thoughts on Running an Open Source Project
I love it when people share their code, just make something and publish it, but to my mind it isn’t an open source project until it has people around it. There’s nothing wrong with building something as a hobby, but it’s quite different to have people around it.

Rob Ashton : you have ruined JavaScript
Rob talks about “enterprise”-level-like frameworks in JavaScript and the complexity of abstractions in some of them. For example, quoting AngularJS framework documentation like this:
An Angular “service” is a singleton object created by a “service factory”. These service factories are functions which, in turn, are created by a “service provider”. “The service providers are constructor functions”. When instantiated they must contain a property called $get, which holds the service factory function.
Whether you agree (I do) or disagree with his point of view, the blog post is still hilarious.
