- (Major Essay) Climax paragraph. 3
- This annotation consisted of me continuing to do what I've been doing, which is primarily adding more direct experiences. In my draft for this one, I outlined the scenario of the triangle theory, but I did not go into further detail. Therefore, I resolved to describe the actual circumstances in order to offer the readers a better insight into the experience.

build a browser that comes pre-installed with node.js
Nah. Just stop programming directly against NodeJS to start with!
The Web platform is a multi-vendor standardized effort involving broad agreement to implement a set of common interfaces. NodeJS is a single implementation of a set of APIs that seemed good (to the NodeJS developers) at the time, and that could change whenever the NodeJS project decides it makes sense to.
(Projects like WebRun which try to provide a shim to let people continue to program against NodeJS's APIs but run the result in the browser is a fool's errand. Incredibly tempting, but definitely the wrong way to go about tackling the problem.)

Always use the word ‘Africa’ or ‘Darkness’ or ‘Safari’ in your title.
I love the style in which this is written. While it appears to be a "how-to" guide, the author is doing nothing more than addressing the stereotypes that surround Africa. Turning this piece into a " how NOT to " guide.

While Trailblazer offers you abstraction layers for all aspects of Ruby On Rails, it does not missionize you. Wherever you want, you may fall back to the "Rails Way" with fat models, monolithic controllers, global helpers, etc. This is not a bad thing, but allows you to step-wise introduce Trailblazer's encapsulation in your app without having to rewrite it.

- abstractions
- newer/better ways of doing things
- allowing developer/user to pick and choose which pieces to use (allowing use with competing libraries; not being too opinionated; not forcing recommended way on you)
- leaving the details of implementation/integration up to you
- Trailblazer
- focus on what it should do, not on how it should do it (implementation details; software design)
- freedom of user to override specific decision of an authority/vendor (software)
- focus on concepts/design/structure instead of specific/concrete technology/implementation
- rails: the Rails way
- making changes / switching/migrating gradually/incrementally/step-wise/iteratively
