  1. Callbacks Are An Informal Pipeline

    by Will Larson
    March 7, 2010 javascript Node.js

    Spending some time with Node.js I've begun to realize what a pain callbacks can be when they become sufficiently deep. That said, after sufficient nesting it's pretty easy to see how callbacks become very similar to a pipeline (in the simplest case, anyway).

    It's been pretty obvious I wouldn't be working on Codernote again or even using it again, so I figured it was time to stop hosting it and release the code.

    How sad that nobody ever heard of that website. However I also just knew it by today.

    Marketing is needed even for the best websites.

    A reflection on a day when I accidentally broke a production environment by trying to fix a failed deployment. Definitely one of my learning experiences from the past year.

    I've been blogging for some time, but recently I begin to wonder why I keep blogging. Is it just a habit? Or am I aiming for something?

    I've really appreciated your writing so far, specially the posts that involve python and django, although i believe that the erlang posts are valuable, and what i like about you is the fact that you try on so many languages and techniques and you are willing to share your experiences with them, so again i look forward to whatever your next subjects would be, special plug for anything related to django :)

    I'm with the others!

    I love reading your blog and often you have time to explore and play with things I think are interesting but can't work into my schedule (or brain)!!

    W/ new tools like Twitter / Buzz, etc. I don't think we blog for the 'conversation' any longer but it definitely helps increase our collective intelligence!

    @Will - I love reading your blog largely because I've the same interests as you it seems - Python, Erlang and a bit of curiosity about Clojure. I encountered your blog first via your PyObjC article and have been a regular reader since then. I hope you keep writing.
