   Really interesting project, reading through the docs now. This might save me a ton of time on my current project. Just out of curiosity, is there any concern or security precautions in place to ensure this tool won't just become a scri

   A lot of the tech community is "magic" to the uninformed and uneducated. I think the term "unicorn" is a play on this sentiment. There is nothing mythical about well funded startups having high valuations. You don't

   dammit, that was a good one maybe I should just exclude financial news sites with non technical staff.

   I'm writing a filter for my hacker news plugin that removes all references to "unicorn" from my feed.

    Websites are becoming more complex. Deal with it. I'm sure people said the same thing about the gutenburg press vs locking a bunch of monks in a room for 20 years. That being said, if you don't understand the tech, or the tooling

    I think it is really sad that someone like me, with just on the job training and no degree, can pull in three times a teachers salary because I know some javascript. My job isn't hard, it is technical. Anyone willing to invest the time

    I REALLY hate the word unicorn in this context. There is nothing mythical about well funded startups having high valuations. You don't stumble into one while galavanting through an enchanted forest. You can't drink the blood of a

    Scripting is experiencing a huge resurgence, just look at the prominence of Lua in the ML community. Never thought writing WoW ui add-ons would prepare me for a 6 figure job.

    React is really scaring the whole web components crowd, I've seen a series of talks like this that seem very petty. Web components look interesting, but I've been hearing the same shit for years. Meanwhile I use angular / rea
