I mentioned already earlier that I believe om.next will be the future. Not particular om itself but the idea it implements: demand driven applications. The component declares what data it needs and the server is just there for delivering it. Components don’t want to coordinate 20 ajax requests just to gather all the data they need to operate. Components also don’t need all of the data your API provides in most cases, so why even the need to download all of it? ...

If you follow clojurescript development you might have already heard about the next iteration of om, om.next. om.next is David Nolens attempt to bring together what big companies like facebook with relay and netflix with falcor are doing at the moment. I will not go into detail but instead of REST, it implements a architecture in which components clearly declare what kind of data they need to operate.

Sometimes I feel like just opening a new tool and test it out. Because of that I discovered SublimeText from NetBeans / PHPStorm. Because of that I also switched from SublimeText to VIM and later back to intellij. I love to constantly improve my workflow and find new ways to get even more productive. ...

I decided to create another simple blog based on jekyll next to my medium one. Why? let me explain. Medium is an amazing platform for writing. That’s what works really damn good on it. But writing doesn’t equal blog. Medium is a magazine - a collection of articles and columns from individual writers. When you see a post about ‘How to set up php’ with a big editorial picture and a ton of quotes, don’t you also think that it kind of feels… out of place? ...
