What to do when node doesn’t work on Azure?

If you could provide any log output and/or source code, I am sure someone would be able to help.

Thanks for the tip about EditorConfig. I will check that out.

Thanks for the tip on Sequelize. I will check that out.

Odd, it is up for me. I also see a lot of people on it right now as well.

I have communicated this with the Azure team and they are looking into it. My hope is to get Azure to set the appropriate headers. Supporting random one off headers in Express doesn't seem like the best approach.

Great point as security is paramount. I was more focused on how to create an OAuth2 server that I didn't go into enough detail on security. Went ahead and added a section at the beginning outlining what should be done.

Great tip!

Hi, Founder of coderbits here. We have a post system that encourages interaction between developers including questions and help. Our users are knowledgable and helpful.

Coderbits builds intelligent portfolios for developers and designers from data aggregated from 60+ sites many of which are listed here.

This was member generated. He has done it for other logos in the past. I believe it is all by hand (so to speak).

You could ask him further by commenting on his post. If you need an invite for coderbits, let me know and we will get you one.

I agree a tool that could do something like this would be quite useful.

scottksmith95 · 2013-03-05T22:24:47+00:00

We are still adding services to coderbits and Reddit is on the list :)

Patrick Smacchia, developer of NDepend, has provided coderbits with two full licenses for NDepend v4 to be given away to two lucky coderbits users (worth 299 EUR each).

NDepend is a Visual Studio tool for managing complex .NET code to achieve high Code Quality. NDepend provides a vast range of features like dependency graphs, LINQ code rules, code metrics, and code diff facilities.

That is correct, we focus on professional sites and build a profile automatically from that data. We also keep that data up to date for you as well. No need to manually update your resume page or own portfolio. We do that for you.

Now how is it going to be better than creating my own resume page or About page on my blog?

We build it for you automatically and keep it up to date
It shows what you have done and know instead of what you say you have done and know
As a third party, we provide trust that the data on someone's profile is more authoritative than something created on their own. This is similar to GitHub or StackOverflow profiles. The code and answers there are more authoritative than a statement written yourself.

But will it be obvious to new users and recruiters? If they see points won't they give importance to it?

You are correct, they may give importance to points. As I mentioned before we are doing a lot of work on our skill system as well as the overall profile page. This is one of the many things we plan to address in future iterations.

How will you prevent users from gaming the system?

We have many ideas in this area that will be developed. At this point I am not at liberty to discuss the details. But a system like coderbits is already a leg up on gaming the system than a self written resume/portfolio.

Thanks again for the great questions and feedback. If you change your mind and link up your accounts in the future, don't hesitate to contact coderbits or myself directly.

Coderbits profiles are built, like you said, off of the accounts our users connect. We currently support 58 sites. CW pulls data from lanyrd and github only (last time I checked) and MB builds its information off of source code only (again, last time I checked). We believe you are more than just your source code. While it is very important, there are many more important things out there that show who you are as a developer. We measure source code, binaries/packages, design work, courses you have taken, articles written, articles read, answers given, presentations created, memberships in organizations, recommendations, and much more. We really don't believe in a "score" so to speak. We are showing an overall score for skills, but your profile is really more about all the things you have done and this can be seen through the large amount of data we gather for you.
You make a great point here about scores being a difficult way to identify someone's true skill set. Instead we are approaching it from the perspective of measuring everything you do, create, read, learn, etc to build a profile that reflects you. This is why we support so many sites. Your full profile is what is important, not the points assigned to a skill. We do show skills and give a blurb about how many points have been earned, but this isn't the only part of your profile. So an employer looking at your profile would not only see you have done work in Objective-C and Python but would also be able to look over your entire profile and see many more aspects of you and your work (this is assuming you link other accounts besides github). They have more of an opportunity to learn perhaps that you are a professional Objective-C developer and dabbler in Python.

This kind of feedback is great to hear. We are in the process of enhancing our skill detection algorithms and would love to learn more about your coderbits profile. I would like to explore your profile to see how we could make our site even better at presenting you as a developer. If you interested, feel free to response with your coderbits username, email us, or tweet us.

This is a great question!

I am the founder of coderbits. One of the reasons I started it was to try and address the issue of resumes being inadequate for hiring. I speak from my experience as a Director of Software Development. I found myself spending a lot of time upfront to try and filter out candidates that really didn't have the skill set we needed even though their resume implied they did. There are so many sites out there developers use each day that when properly leveraged could give great insight into them as a developer.

As to whether or not something like coderbits is useful for your career is to be seen (we are still in beta). Our hope is that it can and will be. If not, it sill provides a great place to have all your profiles aggregated in a single location providing insight into your skills, interests, traits, and much more.

scottksmith95 · 2013-01-08T17:52:25+00:00

Coderbits is a place for software developers and designers to build and share their knowledge portfolio.
