Don't focus on the end goal, focus on the journey. I'm a self-taught web developer (used to be a self-taught designer) and I learned my way through development by simply building stuff. I've had stable jobs for over 5 years now. Once you've

I built this thing as a learning experience. Jeremy Ashkenas then proposed to make it open source as an example app so that people could learn from it too. I finally had a chance to contribute to open source (but I did not know it would be

I guess my comment (apart from the French part) applies to most big cities in Canada. Thanks for pointing that out. "the people are friendlier" is too subjective though, can't really be sure of that. Getting a position in a startup or open

Personal income tax may be higher, but the advantages far outweigh the cost. I'm thinking about: free healthcare, extremely low electricity cost, cheap rent (pretty much half as much as SF's rent) and everything that comes with living in a

Since I'm no programming nor javascript wizard, I needed some help from Jeremy. I know my way around MVC since I've been doing some Ruby on Rails in my time. My experience with more advanced Javascript is with MooTools, so I found it famili

A little backstory... With the help of jashkenas, I created this app to test my implementation of Backbone.js for MooTools ( http://github.com/jeromegn/backbone-mootools ) and my localStorage adapter ( http://github.com/jeromegn/Backbone.lo

At first, I was loading the new tweet form inline. But since the client's code need to be injected in every webpage, because that's all I can do with the Safari Extension API, then I couldn't put the form inline. Here's why: I figured any m

Hey HN, I'd love it if you could give me feedback on my first little app. I did this on my own as a pet project. At some point it reached an acceptable state of stability and usability, therefore I launched it. It's a MVP for sure.

Any designer can create something like that in a few hours... Dashboard design is not about the style, it's about the usefulness of the data and the usability, bearing in mind the type of data and the usages its users do with it. I've seen

I was definitely talking about an interactive prototype of the actual design, not wireframes. It's the step I usually consider when passing on the design to the development department. Sometimes there's much more needed to explain than what

Yes, it works well for user testing, feels more real, especially with a fluid layout. That's something usually harder to test with static mockups.

I certainly don't hate it, but I prefer a tab than dealing with curly brackets or termination. At this point though, I guess it's about individual taste. Thanks for reading.

I agree. The web could maybe be more usable with a standard interface... but it would be awfully boring.

I might ask the interviewee about stuff from the future of rails. If answered correctly, it shows how someone can be in a continuous learning mode and eager to go the extra mile.

(UX point of view comment) Hmm, the design is inspired by www.kontain.com? It's well done though. A few UX quirks here and there, but most of it is fine. Maybe that nice image and copy on the login/register page should be on the homepage wh

Sounds like what I'm doing! Basically, taking more technically-inclined contracts as a web developer, even though I prefer the thinking and managing part of web development just so that I can pursue learning and enjoying life at my leisure.

And I commented here: http://www.danielharan.com/2009/01/04/colektivo-another-mont... I can't see how this is a con. I work on this project btw. We just didn't see the use of a "who are we?" page, but it's no secret.
