What I wish to see in these blog posts are real-world examples. My day job is coding an MVC app in Rails / Ember. Fine, I won't be able to get past Chapter 11 in a book, but what am I REALLY missing out on? Are these solutions mea

I think you're severely missing the point of the article if you think the messages she was getting boil down to "older people trying to talk to young people"

See if you can transition into full time with one of your current clients. Having that trust already built really helps (along with not having to deal with the interview process). You should be able to check your past financial expenses, an

Am I the only one that read the FAQ half-expecting to see some crowdsourced data mining / AI training piece along with this? Perhaps because it was released by Google and had the word "project" in the title.

Would be a great Chrome extension to replace my home screen - any chance of that happening?

Wondering if an idea like this would work: Bundlers like Webpack already import JS in a modular structure. I'm wondering if we could do some profiling into popular npm module combinations (I know many people using React + Lodash + Redu

I have to say, this whole open source turnaround from Parse is pretty awesome... I've used Parse in the past and this effort is making me consider using it again, just hosted on my own server. Thanks guys!
