Im sure you would do great in a full stack web application engineer role, or lead, or other lead engineer role. I have to ask though, have you ever worked on a team of developers, especially with one or many other teams with engineers who h

2% of a bond is laughable. A lot of bonds for misdemeanors are 500 or 1000 usd. So someone could bail out for 5 or 10 bucks! A more serious crime with a 10,000 bond, at 2%, one could get out for 200. I have never ever heard of anyone gettin

Thanks for posting! Your process sounds really great at getting to know and feel how a candidate thinks and works with people. Is the ping pong approach, tdd, and time involved communicated to candidates before the interview date?

Because you don't regularly see published hype from the ones NOT in the camp of get rich, retire. You're own perception based on 'software engineers' and 'always' is wrong, and is based on the last 10 years tec

Webstorm by itself is $129.00 yr for commercial use. Im replying to myself to make this more specific edit to my above comment in response to dude below that found it worthwhile to find me on twitter to tell me I'm wrong there as well

It's maybe worth noting here that compiling to C and transpiling to JS are two entirely different paradigms of linking and building a software release.

Off topic, but wanted to reply regarding "The first page of my resume is my 10 years of non-career programming experience." This must be part or most of the problem. Cut your resume down to 1 page, if possible. Include a meaningfu

Wow, do you have a link to the blog post? Bjarne, if you read his C++ books, is a great technical communicator and author, and his contribution to computer science speaks for itself.

This is a good video. Im the target market as someone not up on programming language hype, lately. I tried Elixir in 2015ish and enjoyed using it. Now, 4 years later I am definitely motivated to build something in 2019 in Elixir.

Don't be sorry. I didn't mean to be discouraging, if that's the case. You did say a WIP, but often people like to see and evaluate that, especially for implementations of languages. A slightly more informative title would get

Ok, it's a show HN. But there is literally only a license and readme. I don't get why you would even post this. What language is the interpreter or VM? being implemented in?
