I really like the Intercom and Mailchimp home pages. Good use of text combined with visuals to quickly and clearly explain the value as soon as you land on the page.

One of my favourites is Kano. Incredible use of parallax. Disclaimer: My co-founder made it. http://www.kano.me/

Thank you for sharing your findings here. Very pertinent to me right now - could actually drastically minimise the amount of research I have to do today. I love HN.

As others have said randomness can have it's place in other testing suits, but when developing unit tests using a TDD (Test Driven Development) approach it really does not fit in at all, and is not the best example. If you are indeed f

We don't currently collect this information unfortunately.

Typo. Correcting now.

It is a good good point. Explanation: Each user on our site is able to enter 5 skills/technologies that they want to work with in their next job. Evidently it is quite common for people to list both Node.js and Javascript as 2 of these

Have you checked out Meteor.js and skit.js? They seem to me to be the frameworks currently most geared towards reusing code on client and server (e.g. isomorphic - sorry mathematicians).

Our belief is that company culture is a combination of the factors we have listed.

As @imslavko said, when using Meteor with MongoDB (which I believe is the only production ready DB driver) it observes the oplog [1] for changes. You can use the polling observer too though. You can find out more about the LiveUpdate core p

I'd personally love to see this. Think it would be very valuable to the community.

+1 RethinkDB's realtime capabilities would fit perfectly with Meteor.

Thanks and np. I think this will continue to be a growing past-time of mine. It would be cool to build a library of such things - interactive visual components for collecting/displaying data. What other types of widgets would you want

Thx. I'll update accordingly here.

Author here. Yea I was not sure on the best approach for naming when using the directive in template but when specifying it as a dependency the directive is referenced by `ui.dial`.

Agreed, but provocative title ftw in this world!! A better title may have been - 'Are daily stand-ups an anti-pattern?'. Like with most applications of the term to social interaction it is based on too many variables unique to the

Hey. Apologies for the bad UX here. You are currently seeing the unmatched screen. The reason for this is most likely that your desired location does not match that of the position. I'll have a look into it though to confirm whether th

Great point. Seniority and job title vary greatly based on company size. One of the things I would always find so odd. I'd speak to friends at larger companies with the same title as me, Software Engineer, and the way they spent their

This is a fair criticism. As we build up a larger data set we hope that more value can be attached to the it and the insights be more indicative of the community. Until then we are just interested to share what we are currently finding with

The seniority level was gathered by asking each person the seniority they would like in their next job. This suggests that it is more common for people working with Ruby to think of picture themselves in a higher seniority role than their P

Several thousand? Evidently you like to exaggerate. The content is circa 1000 words - but the point it makes in relation to this context is delivered in the first sentence. I've used both before. Matlab in my CompSci BS and MS and Octa

Isn't Octave built with Matlab compatibility in mind? And Octave 3.8.0 was released back in December 2013 - so the GUI is already present, and from this decade. It's a great open source alternative to Matlab in my eyes for anyone

So you want to answer the questions 'when did i fall sleep last night?' and 'did i get enough sleep?' I have to wonder why. It suggests you are wanting to ensure you get a healthy amount of sleep by getting the answers
