It might just be a slightly mislabeled desire for new/good food. People probably say "authentic" when what they mean is "something different from what I've been getting in my hometown for the last 20 years". An

And include every benefit/perk you get. 401K matching, however much the company pays for benefits, any stock/equity, yearly comp for events/conferences, etc. I think that's all reasonable to include when someone asks you

Very nice. It's funny, I keep clicking on these 'new JS library' links thinking, oh geez, not another one... but then I leave thinking, wow, that is very impressive and super useful.

Thats a good point - looks like it's built on Rails too. Switch this to Node and React and it'll smoke. With Node it would also be super easy to use websockets and remove the need for Pusher too. Not a big deal though - this is a

First - that sounds awesome. Just generally, I pretty much always think an experience like that is worth so much, regardless of if it goes as expected or not. So if you can make it happen, try it! Onto the details - It will be expensive. Ai

Definitely just a bit of a spike to learn React and mess around with D3. I think it turned out pretty well though - lots of different things to play around with. https://github.com/TGOlson/react-d3-visuals

The general goal with this module is to make it super easy to unit test node controllers without having to spin up a new server. Obviously, there is some work to do with tidying up the module, making it a little more robust, and those sort

All good points - I'm not sure about the practicality of it, just intrigued by the ability to store and retrieve data from HTML elements. I can't imagine at the moment any project where it would be used, but who knows, maybe someo

I think it would also be beneficial if you could browse job listings. I normally don't sign up for a site if I can't see any 'action' on the site. Not only would this probably attract a lot more freelancers, but employer

Ya, I actually had that problem with BS2 when viewing it mobile. I ended up redesigning the site anyway, but this may be a big plus for Bootstrap. As others have said, a lot of times it's simpler to just build everything yourself and g

Well, true, but many other professions have an oath of their own. Often times the language covered in that oath is supervised by a committee. Obviously, there are problems with this. But the point that Martin makes is a really good one. Tec

Agree. Much (if not all) of the stigma that MBA's face is due to the people who traditionally get MBA's, not what the program 'turns you into.' And for the most part, that's what the article says. To be honest, I'm an engineer with a techni

I like the idea. I'll be honest, half the emails in my inbox are from myself, either with links or quotes or ideas, whatever. Now, does EverNote offer something like this, or do they do full webpages only? Integration is definitely key. I r

And that's cool. Your story is a good one and you bring up a lot of good points. The area where I firmly disagree is how absolute you are. Are you being overly narcissistic? Probably, but that's fine - it's an opinion and he should hear it.

Dude, at least be reasonable with your response. True, college is not for everyone. But this kid is posting a question that could potentially impact the rest of his life. Is this really the level-headed advice he should hear: "If you listen
