1. JSLint needs some Bad Parts
   May 16, 2010

   November 16, 2008

   Over the last two or three weeks, a substantial subset of my friends and colleagues have started using GitHub to host some of their personal projects. I'm really enjoying this influx, and it’s inspiring in a way I didn’t really expect. GitHub has done nothing less than to make my friend’s coding activity visible to me, and mine visible to them. This doesn’t sound like much, but it’s simply transformative; If this is how “normal” people feel about Facebook, then I can start to understand how it’s captured so much mindshare.
