Well done!

Hi jsonne! Several of our engineering roles are listed as being in Irvine, when in fact they're remote as well. I'm not 100% sure if it's the same for marketing roles, but I would encourage you to apply!

I'm sorry about your friend's experience. As a fully remote employee, I can assure folks that "remoteness" has become a much bigger part of our culture. We try very hard to make sure that remote folks are comfortable and kept in the loop. I'm not sure what team he/she applied for, but I would encourage them to give us another look!

Bootstrap templates require a non-trivial amount of work. Why should they not be?

On Android I've gotten great results from ChineseSkill

VSCode because the TypeScript integration is just phenomenal.

Having some side projects, being active in communities (Stack Overflow, Github), and having a constant thirst for learning new technologies have been the keys to developing my skills and acquiring jobs in startups.

fundamentals.io - An API/website for company financial data

fundament.co - Was going to use for the above until I found out fundament means "butt".

fio.link - The url shortener for fundamentals.io

hearlist.co - Email-first startup for finding new music

giglist.co - Email-first startup for job hunters

harbor.works - Multi-channel ecommerce SaaS

kapsl.com - Website builder for musicians (still one of my favorites)

quesh.co - Local Messaging Q&A App

No CS degree here, currently working as Senior Front-end developer after 5+ years in the field.

1) I found it most frustrating to try and choose between learning what's the most popular new technology and what would help me advance my career. It turns out, focusing on mastering the basics of HTML, CSS, and Javascript have gotten me much further than trying to jump on every new bandwagon that rolls by.

2) Honestly, the single greatest resource has been my side projects. All of the tutorials, training and learning from Google have been far surpassed by the amount of knowledge I've gained from sitting down and hacking on ideas. I seriously have had 1million side projects in my 5 years and each of them has been a challenge and an amazing learning experience.

Hope that helps

None of these are examples of functional programming except that you wrote some functions.

"Professional" web developer here. Indeed the reset technique is used very often. Browsers often implement default margins and padding differently. A CSS reset can give you a more reasonable baseline to work with.

While I see your point, you're comparing a closed-source proprietary platform to the web. Apples to oranges if you ask me

Considering the fact that these are the de-facto UI languages for the World's most widely deployed platform (web browsers), do you think that javascript / html / css are going anywhere anytime soon?

I'm what you would call a 'front-end' engineer. Senior front-end developer is my current title, though I'm quite capable of full-stack development. I make $103,000 annually and do not have a college degree. There has never been a job that denied me due to lack of education because I've been able to prove myself and my abilities. Going to college is a great resume boost, but has had no bearing on my career thus far.
