@collinsworth JavaScript's functional chaining is a bit lackluster compared to other languages, so I wrote a little library called better-iterators.

One of the few reasons I miss #Xitter is the "fast news" feedback.
We had a little #earthquake here few hours ago, and twitter is still the best in knowing if something really happened in real time.

Last night @adamhjk and @ag_dubs joined the Oxide Friends to continue their panel discussion with @bcantrill following up his p99conf talk revisiting open source anti-patterns. Notably, open source has accelerated the distribution of value… without clarity on how contributors can capture that value. Has open source accelerated unequal distribution? Give a listen!
