Look at this: Hibernate is more complex than the problem it tries to solve I’ve to agree with that. There seems to be over engineering mantra embedded in to Java world. If something is not re-factored into ”enterprisy” complexity, then technology is not considered good. In other words this is known also mantra of job…
Read moreJavascript dependency hell
Okey, Scenario is this: There is two competing libraries for ”_” (aka. underscore) global variable. Libraries in question are ”underscore” and ”lodash”.

Read moreHacking with Stone-Axe in 21th century
After spending 2 decades with java language, taking peek into javascript feels unbeliable. Javascript has basically existed around same time than java, but unlike java language haven’t really evolved much.

Read moreConfusion of Start -menu
If there is one thing what I really disaliked on M$windows vista/7 is the Start -menu. That concept was truly awful concept. In that respect, I liked new style start screen in Windows 8. And after that it’s truly odd seeing oddballs trying to create pieces of software, which try to bring back awful Start…
