Zero to 2011 A reflection on how 0MQ went from a hack to a key piece of infrastructure:
ØMQ is no longer an experimental project. It can no longer be randomly changed without hurting a lot of users. It’s a stable product, used for serious business and a lot of people are depending on it.

Fibered out I don’t care for adding Fibers on top of Node.js, but I couldn’t say it as well as Isaac:
If your code uses a compiled fibers library, or something that transforms the code, then it’s much harder for me to figure out what the heck is going on. The introspection is gone. The languages change. Stuff happens that isn’t present in the code I’m looking at. This is fundamentally different from a library that just passes functions around.
So true The social graph is neither:
You might almost think that the whole scheme had been cooked up by a bunch of hyperintelligent but hopelessly socially naive people, and you would not be wrong. Asking computer nerds to design social software is a little bit like hiring a Mormon bartender. Our industry abounds in people for whom social interaction has always been more of a puzzle to be reverse-engineered than a good time to be had, and the result is these vaguely Martian protocols.
