I've used WebTranslateIt and i18next.js, and found i18n and l10n to be much easier than I'd anticipated. While I've primarily worked with actual translators, I think WebTranslateIt has some automated translation options as we

You should read The Elements of Content Strategy by Erin Kissane. It's from A Book Apart. As for shorter display copy, starting with a simple, clean writing style is a great start. From there, validate the assumptions you make with y

Understanding 'this' is foundational when it comes to understanding JavaScript, IMO. So, I don't think it's that unusual. Out of curiosity, what's another question that demonstrates a solid understanding of JavaScri

Something along the lines of this: function myFunction() { var a, b, func; func = function () { return { attrA: function (attr) { a = attr; return this; }, attrB: funct

I've paid for it, but have since switched almost entirely to Emacs(evil mode), Vim and IntelliJ. LightTable intrigued me for a while, but I'd say I'm more interested in the source code (as it's a sizeable ClojureScript a

You should create a ~/.gitconfig file that specifies an excludes file for all of your git projects that keeps editor generated files/directories out of your repo. ( http://365git.tumblr.com/post/519016351/

What's up Justin?! Spotted your name and then figured out it was you from comment history. It'll be interesting to see what happens over time, but I think that with the proliferation of mobile we could see something akin to Okta f

Maybe my wife typed in in wrong when I told her to try it. Or some enterprising Googler decided to be an MVP and push out a new release.

Unfortunately, com.google doesn't support the "do a barrel roll" command. That kind of attention to detail would have impressed me.

There was a similar question [0] I commented on a while back... The Architecture of Open Source Applications [1] was mentioned there by another commenter. I also saw the link here on HN to Cloud Computing Patterns [2] a couple days ago. [0]

For something that gets updated once a month, I'd go with a static site generator. I like https://middlemanapp.com/ . If that seems like too much work, you should just write on Medium. Having used WordPress heavily in t

The things I hate most about CoffeeScript are the dash rockets and white-space significance. These are just opinions though. There are things I like about CS as well, like destructuring assignment and splats. Sometimes when I'm writing

This might be counterintuitive, but cut the stimulants and sleep more. I've been way more focused and productive since eliminating caffeine from my system.

It's an open ended question with lots of jumping off points to talk about implementation details and design. And as far as the backend being trivial (it may well be), if a candidate said that in an interview, I'd ask them to walk

All that said, I think there is more room for the UI Developer role in a company that does lots of client work on a frequent basis (this person might work on 5-10 new projects each month), not so much in a startup or web application shop (4

The UI Designer role described in this article should ideally be able to cover everything in the UI Developer role. The JavaScript Developer role should also be able to cover that role. I agree with the rest of the whittling down. However,

It sounds like a great product. However, leaning too much on other companies can get tricky if they decide to cut off the firehose. A previous startup that I worked at got burned by the Twitter Cards API. Perhaps carrying the same concept o
