I wasn't trying to personally attack the guy, it was just surprising that an article by one of the heads of a major tech company wouldn't have something basic like that taken care of. I'd recommend the tinypng plugin ( https:

If Nick is really the one who wrote that piece, it's sad that the Vice President of Firefox doesn't know about image resizing and optimization.

Sounds neat. Would really enjoy installing and trying this out. However, I can't for the life of me find it. Here's what I tried: -Searching for "focus" in the app store. Unsurprisingly, a thousand things came up that we

Well for her as the CEO, it seems a slow death might be favorable as she continues banking her $1 Million a month.

Just wanted to say I really enjoyed watching this and that you're very good at doing tutorials. Thanks!

Right? It always cracks me up when I see an paywall. It's like, who do you think you are? I don't care whatsoever about your site or business, I care about quickly finding the information I'm looking for.

Nice, glad you were able to figure it out.

That's odd - I was able to click the link, go to the article, and simply click the X in the upper right hand corner of the pop up that first appeared and was able to view it.

"Be respectful. Anyone sharing work is making a contribution, however modest." -Perhaps I could have phrased this a bit better, but the design in its current state makes it hard to take it very seriously. "Ask questions out o

Oh lord that design. If you're thinking of building an app, for the love of god spend the money on a designer. It will help make you look like less of a joke.

"Login to play" Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. If you want people to play your game, forcing them to sign up first isn't the best way to do it. Let me try it out, then maybe say that you need to sign up to go past the first level or save

For sports it looks like there are some online, subscription type options. Still, I'd say that sports and morning shows would fall under the 5% not covered, but if those are super important to you then I could see that being an issue.

Actually using a Comcast cable box to watch things in 2015. I can't understand it. An Apple TV with a netflix and hulu account get you 95% of the way, with 100X better of a user experience. Or if you don't have $100 to spare, you

Ha the scroll bar is also a very effective means of doing that, though not as cool at the bar at the top.

Not related to the article, but can we talk about how fun those little bars at the top of articles are that tell you how far down you've read? I love those. Such a nifty idea.

Sexuality and gender go hand in hand. Without gender being a thing you wouldn't even have the LGB part of it. So, it makes sense they would go together.

It makes sense that people making just above minimum wage would be opposed to raising it. I'd assume they had put in more time/effort than their coworkers to make those extra dollars an hour and were rewarded accordingly. Let&#x27

This 1000x. As a frontend dev I'd be happy to volunteer to invest the time to make sure this works on the current range of viewports.

Yes, we all have bills that need to be paid. But many people (especially those who aren't making great money) continually and stupidly buy stuff they don't need, not even realizing they can't afford it. You make 35k a year? T

Except that it's not rubbish. Most people do spend large amounts of their paycheck on things they don't need. Just because he makes good money doesn't mean his concepts of saving a large percentage of what you earn aren&#x2

Interesting site. Would be fun to see one like this for other categories of jobs in the industry - front end, back end, full stack, web designer, etc.

Right? You should have at least a 6 month emergency fund, and if you're saving properly then you'll find it's not much of an issue. People love to complain about their money as they spend most of it on dumb things they don&#x

Yea it's a bit tougher when you're not in sales. Still, you can look up market value for your role in the area you're in.

I'm always blown away by how people lowball themselves. See how much you're worth, then ask for more. The worst they can say is no, the best they can say is yes, and somewhere in the middle is still pretty good.

This - I know teachers with 25 years experience making close to six figures, which seems fairly insane.

All those features are just fine and dandy, but did they finally address the issue when streaming shows via hulu or netflix the audio and video eventually gets out of sync and you need to restart the Apple TV to fix it? If so, I'll ord

Yeah that part was particularly cringeworthy.

by kdamken 11y ago
Agreed - I always thought it meant you had a solid understanding of both the front and back end stacks, and could work in both comfortably.

Yes, but the point of responsive design is to make the content work and work well on all browser sizes. A two column layout doesn't make sense for a blog post.
