I never realised this - thanks! It feels like by adding styling I could make those who click on the “feed” link, but don’t yet know what RSS is have a much better experience than seeing unstyled XML and being confused.

The class name on the HTML element definitely makes me want to start using more expressive class names in my code. (Doesn't seem I'm able to copy/paste it into a Hacker News comment)

I have a blog with two main categories that are pretty separate: https://jasono.co/blog/software-engineering/ - mostly focused on front end, and a lot of older posts about the Haxe programming language. https:&#x

(I'm a front end engineer at Culture Amp, and have been involved in hiring) Perhaps the wording in the blog post is too strong, because people in this thread seem to be interpreting it as a hard rule. The wording was: > When someone

(I work at Culture Amp) In our interviews one of the things we look for is people who care about our mission (improving workplace cultures, basically). Its not a requirement but it is one of the factors when it comes to making a decision, p

I work at Culture Amp and have been involved in hiring decisions, including for people who were excited about Elm so happy to comment here. As others have guessed, this is an "indication" not a "rule", and it was more ab

As an engineer at Culture Amp, I strongly agree with all of this, especially: > Actually improving employee engagement is far from solved or commoditised, and I believe that anyone that can bring an original idea that can be proven to le

That was a helpful read, thanks. My company (also in Melbourne!) is probably one stage of growth beneath this. We have “verticals” and “teams” but don’t really have the layer in the middle yet (“domains”). As we’ve grown from only a few tea

I used Haxe full time for several years for web development (even started a startup with it!) It predated Typescript, so at the time the killer feature was being able to write type-safe JavaScript, and being able to share code with a backen

I’ve used it for web (my failed startup was in Haxe, my side projects still are mostly Haxe). To be honest these days I mostly just use it as a “better JavaScript” because I’d prefer my backend to be NodeJS rather than PHP or Java or sone o

One advantage Python might have is that the dependencies you use are human readable, they're not compiled, minified or obfuscated. This in theory would make auditing dependencies easier, but I imagine 99% of the time people aren't

The “containers” thing they’re doing to have separate containers with separate cookie jars, is something I’m loving that some die hard Chrome fans have said “I want that” when I explain it to them. It allows me to have a work container logg

This is my first attempt at using D3 for anything more than a simple bar chart. I wanted to do a visualization that gave a sense of on what issues the community was united or divided. I also wanted to show not just which side of an issue pe

It does have built in type definitions for React, where as all other libraries you probably need to use flow-typed (similar to definitely-typed in TypeScript). So it does kind of have React integration, but it's pretty loose - you can
