All too often, people do good things for the wrong reasons, and find it’s not sustainable. Compare the differences between these statements:
I want to develop software.
I want to be a software developer.I want to write a novel.
I want to be a novelist.I want to do yoga.
I want to be a…
From the lovely people over at @InfoQ: my interview with Tim Heckel on the newest version of @sailsjs
0.8.9
April 9, 2013
If I missed anything, please let me know! This was a big release.
- Controllers must now also be generated to use the default API (they can be empty)
- Haml template support on back-end for new projects (thanks @dcbartlett)
- default values in models (defaultsTo)
- Chained policies fixed
- Removed all reference to blueprints as “scaffolds”. Blueprints are more than temporary placeholders— they are the preferred method of serving an API from your app.
- Refactored most of the code base
- Removed CRUD synonyms
- Main: Compatibility with Node v0.10.0 (patches node-dirty)
- Main: Fixed crash that happened when absolute path was given as appPath
- Assets: Added more logging features for less.
- Assets: Reset.css now in mixins
- Assets: Less assets are deligated to Rack.LessAsset
- Assets: Less assets served from asset-rack will have their extensions changed to css
- Policies: Implemented the controller syntax for defining a policy.
- Naming: scaffolds is now known as blueprints
- Naming: blueprints is now known as boilerplates
- Routing: Added controller.action syntax
- Routing: Removed CRUD Synonyms— now you must explicitly use find, findAll, create, destroy, update (cant use
get,detail,delete,edit, etc. to indicate the same thing. Turns out this was actually annoying, not helpful) - Routing: Fix in API blueprint for regression around PUT/DELETE automatic RESTful routes
- Routing: Fix for resourceful routing. /model/[id] didn’t work with verbs. Does now.
- Config: _ and async no longer have to be global (but they are by default) They are configurable with
sails.config.globals._andsails.config.globals.async(thanks @particlebanana!) - New sails project can now be created in the current dir with
sails new .(thanks @collinwren!) - More tests (thanks @collinwren and @benrudolph)
- Travis CI integration (thanks @collinwren!)
Designed to resemble the MVC architecture from frameworks like Ruby on Rails, but with support for the more modern, data-oriented style of web app development.

Imagine if someone were to say something like:
Node uses async I/O so that it can read files faster.
While many of the words in this sentence are sensible, and perhaps even somewhat close to the truth, there are several glaring errors with it:
First of all, Node doesn’t use AIO. It uses…

Why don’t we strip you out of those bothersome apostrophes?
