lot of process in the way of writing code.
There are studies that show that effective process control (methodology does not seem to matter) improve all aspects of software development. And one possible result of that for developers can be higher morale as they are more likely to deliver on time, have fewer bugs and less likely to be overworked.

Now of course if you have only ever experienced that sort of process control, which isn't effective, then you are unlikely to see any benefits. That however wouldn't be unusual since most process control is ineffective.

Web Essentials[^] in VS2013 has filed a void in my life I didn't even know existed.
Actually it really just allows me to get rid of a hacky project we had to use to get .less and JavaScript minification working the way we wanted, but it still deserves a beer in my book.

I have been looking at the JS stack more and more and just starting to really have a play with things. Liking the look of what Grunt is capably of and think that these 2 videos demonstrate the simplicity of it all.
Getting started with GruntJS[^]
Using GruntJS Plugins[^]
Don't know how that could potentially fit into your dev stack........

If you set the beer down on your open book it becomes hard to close; if you pour it out on the book it becomes soggy.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I'm looking for an RSS reader whose interface is a dockable app bar like the good ol' Google Desktop used to be. (Google Desktop was discontinued awhile ago.)
All the RSS readers I see on the shareware sites use a regular desktop window for their UI.
Does anybody know of one that uses an app bar interface?

This is not what you are specifically asking for but NewsFox can run as a FireFox tab or a tray app, rocks and is free.
I use it as part of my homepage group to hopefully get first shot at craigslist stuff.

Yeah that was kinda what I thought. It is worded so elegantly that I almost fell for it. Right!

My grandmother bought 10 X-Boxes on EBay one christmas for everybody ("I only paid $100!"), boy was she surprised when she got 10 emails with links to sites you could buy X-Boxes.
We don't let grandma near the computer anymore.

Did you know. Those e-mails aren't worded more professional as those who fall for this already bad formulated texts are more likely to follow through the entire process of scam where others would be getting more suspicious when posing questions etc. leading to a time waste for the scammers 
So an E-mail which for you and I is obviously a fake has a higher ROI as the amount of work to sending out the e-mails is most likely near nothing whereas responding to answers from them is very high. they just try to find the dumbest (might not be the case everywhere  ) most ignorant or unaware people on the interwebz.
