This reminds me a bit of Prudio http://www.prudio.com/ Saw that project on the old assembly site (was a cool idea).

Aside from Falcor, this is exactly my current stack and my preferred as well. React + Redux + Webpack + Immutablejs + Bootstrap/Less. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on Falcor or Relay/GraphQL and see what it can of

Wow , thought I was the only one. I accidentally left mine in the washer/dryer the other day. Was expecting it to be broken, it came out with 4,000 steps :)

Do you mind if I contact you for a couple quick questions? I'm essentially in the process of trying #2 as OP mentioned and would eventually like to transition into building a team. Would love to ask you a couple things and maybe get

This is exactly my goal as well. I'm currently working a full time job, moonlighting contract jobs on evenings/weekends, with the goal to save enough money to cover my expenses for 6 months. After that I plan to go into full tim

Cool read. I'm still pretty new to Docker and this is my first time hearing of DockerHub. Seems pretty cool and affordable, I'll give it a shot soon.

I've never actually heard of this, thanks for the links. We use gitlab at work but I took quick browse of this site and it seems pretty cool. Does phabricator have a CI server out of the box that's easy to use? One of the major

There's been _alot_ of comments here and elsewhere that state the exact same thing. On one hand, no it's not their fault and _should_ they be held accountable - obviously no. But it would be so awesome if they did provide this.

I've always used this comparison too. Of course this same explanation can be used for many fields and career choices, but for technical fields I think it's easy to make this comparison. It's important to point out exactly w

Thanks, this wiki article is actually pretty interesting. I'm looking through their numbers, and while I don't doubt them, I wonder if there's any more reference information (books, etc.) that corroborate this data.

I know it's small and probably not worth mentioning, but I created a bitcoin exchange's api aggregator (my first Node.js app). Basically it attempts to wrap multiple exchange's api's into 1 common library, so you don&#x

Do you mind if I message you sometime? My email is in my profile if you're not comfortable sharing here. Would be really cool to bounce a couple questions off of you :)

Will definitely find you and connect :) I've been using React full time for over a year now. Obviously there's still a ton I can learn, but yeah I was thinking I would try to specialize specifically in this tech stack as my &quo

That's actually what I had in mind. Read this on one of the blogs and it seemed like probably the best option. The main obstacle (for me anyway) is getting "acquainted" with others who run a consultancy :) I guess i'l

Yeah, everyone is telling me to rely on personal/professional network. The problem is that most of them are fellow "enterprise" type programmers without any actual work to give (ie. not hiring managers). Also.. the big issu

Thanks for this. One of the reasons I come to HN is to get good advice and see posts like this :) I'll be following your project, good luck!

Ask HN: Is it possible to transition from corporate job to self contractor?

Just glanced, but besides a pretty UI and preview section, I'm not seeing a major difference between this and the customize section of bootstrap ( http://getbootstrap.com/customize/ ). Am I missing something here?

Not sure I fully follow this.. I understand component's don't pass messages to each other, don't redraw themselves. But isn't flux basically doing somewhat of a uni-directional message passing? Maybe my terminology is
