Who is Paul Irish, and why is it interesting that Google hired him?
- sh1mmer 17y agoPaul is a jQuery core contributor and built a few particularly notable things like Modernizr which helps you test HTML5 features which are not yet fully supported in browsers. He also does the yayquery podcast.
- elblanco 17y agoSome guy. Just switched jobs. I should start a blog so I can get front-page time on HN too.
- jamesbritt 17y ago"I should start a blog ..." But you haven't, and you won't, and that's the difference.
- elblanco 17y agoNow I did. http://elblancohn.wordpress.com/2010/04/09/goin-to-work/ http://elblancohn.wordpress.com/2010/04/09/goin-to-work/ Vote me to the front page.
- sh1mmer 17y agoNow if you just put that same energy from being a snarky jerk into something useful you could have contributed to the world today.
- kburn 17y agoThis is exactly why I stopped posting here. I've sent an email to YDN. I'm sure they don't want this kind of representation out on the open internet.
- elblanco 17y agoOh don't get your panties all in a bunch. I take it as a personal statement not as a representative of YDN. I've sent a counter email to YDN that I wasn't really all that offended.
- elblanco 17y agoYou're just jealous that Paul Irish reads my blog. :)
