Let me get the ball rolling....

1. HAML 2. Coffee-script 3. Upgrading from bootstrap 2.3 to 3.0




Personally...

1. Naming anything, whether it's methods, database fields, variables, etc. I try all sorts of conventions, but it's always ugly. It's annoying, writing logical code, then trying to come up with creative and descriptive names.

2. Forms. Big ol' complex, custom forms. Lots of design, html, css, jquery, error handling, validation on the front and back end, and saving to the database.


Upgrading from 2.3 to 3.0 isn't so hellish :D, come on!


depends on how big your project is. I've been working for hours on this thing :/


What's wrong with Coffeescript?


Javascript is one of my favorite languages, Coffeescript makes a great language impossible to debug.


Really? Source maps lets you debug the coffeescript directly.


Object-oriented programming.


Care to share why? I've always loved coding in object oriented programming languages.


Websphere, lotus notes


managers that think they know technology.

Cache invalidation
