Why are you writing about "soft real time" when you don't seem to have done any work in RTOS/embedded?

Your listed project is transloadit, which is a file uploader that does some sort of magic I don't care about. (I'm provincial.)

You also appear to be available as a node.js consultant. That's a first for me. I figured the only "node.js consultants" were ryah and anybody you could catch awake on Freenode.

A burgeoning ecosystem is good. It's not good when virtually every proponent of Node.js I run into makes wild claims.

Checked your submissions, I see in this order from chronological proceeding towards the final entropic state of the universe:

1. jQuery >? *

2. Git

3. Node.js

4. Node.js

5. Node.js

6. Transloadit file jobber thingie (written in JS, on Node.js)

7. Javascript (This is what Node.js is written in, FYI)

8. TDD @ Transloadit (written in JS, on Node.js, Church of the GoF)

9. Realtime encoding - over 150x faster

As easily as I could outright crucify you for butchering the word "realtime" here, I'll simply spare you the trouble and do a text-replace that'll fix your solipsism simulator article (blog)

'Fraid that won't work for your video though. You'll have to fix that yourself. Also, please provide full transcripts (linked, in-line, doesn't matter) in future. Not all of us are hearing.

And to cap it:

Illustrious real-time hacking, that.

This is why we programmers don't deserve to be called engineers, not yet.

Code is art, wondrously so, but we're lacking a rigor and consistency of competence that could be there.




Why are you trying to discredit everything I have done in the last ~5 years?


haters gonna hate

keep it up!


>Why are you trying to discredit everything I have done in the last ~5 years?

I'm not, I'm trying to instill caution and judgment in the use of terminology that has real meaning.

Don't claim something is real-time when it is not. You are misleading people.

By all means, keep hacking. I have nothing against you or your work.


Incredibly harsh and unnecessary. Check yourself.
