Twice actually. One time thru who's hiring and once thru who wants to be hired. Both were great jobs that I enjoyed. Good way to get straight to the hiring manager

Yes totally, and then we need stricter regulations to keep this from happening again. Unfortunately every regulation makes healthcare even more expensive and adds more middlemen and makes healthcare companies hire more paper pushers to make

Thanks! As someone who hates reading metaprogrammed ruby code, I imagine since Lisp gives you even more power, trying to understand what's happening in code is even harder. I know some people enjoy writing this style of code, but I per

Was this worth developing? We already have infinite popover js/css libraries so this doesn't solve any unsolved problem. I suspect this will be like select, where you almost always want some functionality or styling that can'
