I looked up his post, seems like he codes complicated systems in Javascript rather than being a typical UI developer: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20589013 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20589013 I can see a lot of companies being willing to hire a person who can do that even if he doesn't want to use a specific UI framework. Just write down the javascript and you can integrate it in whatever codebase you have, so he is a lot easier to work with than your average JS dev.
