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". And they probably say "authentic" when they really just want quality preparation and ingredients. Quick, cheap American interpretations of ethnic food has become synonymous with inauthenticity, but obviously that's not always the case.

idk, I get what you are saying, it's a bit of an empty cliche, but at the same time, I think there are interesting things people are trying to ask for, just using the wrong words

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 to produce some compensation number.

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 really nice app. I just like talking about different frameworks and tools.

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. AirBnB is probably also not going to be very cheap. Your best bet is probably to find a sublease from someone on Craigslist. You can probably get a room at a decent price doing that, but it would need to be done in person to avoid CL scams.

For the job I probably don't have the best perspective to give you a perfect answer, but generally I think it would depend most on what your expectations are and what size the company is. A small startup probably won't have the time or energy to expend on a 2 month temp. A larger startup might, but the challenge would be to get their attention.

You're best bet might be to apply to some sort of internship program - I think I've seen a couple larger startups have things like that. Not sure about the pay though. Or you could try to find a company that needs contract/freelance work.

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 of things. But I'm actually using it right now in a couple node app and it works great.

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 someone would, or maybe not. Mainly just seeing what it possible to create and then seeing if there are any ideas to help take it away.

Hey all -- just a little more info about this project. I recently starting programming, and am currently in the middle of one of the intensive programming bootcamps.

Anyway, this was a little weekend project of mine. For a long time I've been interested in creating some sort of internet 'art' where people affect a site just by being there, but don't actually interact with anything in particular.

This is basically the first realization of that goal, now that I am learning the skills. Any feedback or contributions would be much appreciated, or if nothing else, a simple click on the link so I can add another dot to the map.

Thanks -- ty

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 employers would feel more comfortable listing (and paying for) their posting.
