   You should check out Glimmer and what they're doing with their byte-code components – I think the Glimmer vm in Rust would boost DOM rendering performance vs virtual dom implementations.

   That's me. I want to finish my refactor but business requirements have me pumping out new epics. I chip away at it in my down time but it's no longer prioritized. I find in this line of work, you will always seek to find ways to b

   At my company, I think engineers are more concerned with feeling comfortable and having the flexibility to take care of the demands of their lives and families over high pay. Midwest company so YMMV.

    I only really get on LinkedIn when I need a job which I hope I don't see any need for in a long, long time. That said, LinkedIn got me my first job out of college and continues to provide opportunities, so I drop in once in a while to

    I'm not sure I like this take, a lot of "college kids" are working through college whilst taking on high interest predatory loans for the opportunity to be there, many making state minimum wage with work/study jobs if th

    I was torn between making a game, or making something to aid my musical endeavors. I liked the idea of making a game, but as an adult I don't get to play that much. When I do, I play older games that stoke my nostalgia (JRPGs). I play

    Yep, especially for handling events (which I try to use sparingly :)). That was one thing jQuery had a great out of the box API for.

    Not even jQuery. The dom selector API is cohesive enough these days for my use.

    Been working Kanban since June, life is better and I think our company is putting out more meaningful features than my last job using agile. We also continuously deploy everyday instead of doing 2 week releases.

    Slightly off topic: Going to take a moment to shoutout Sunny Singh and his hate5six project, archiving punk live performances! Awesome project. You can be a techie and still be punk!
