Read the ECMA scripts. ESPECIALLY sections 13 and 15. Seriously, even the best textbooks will only give you a superficial understanding relative to the actual standards. Sure there are different JS engines, but they all do roughly the same

Nooo don't make zsh the default shell. Wtf is Apple doing? I don't have an issue if people want to use/download zsh, but making it the OS default is a huge mistake! From the zsh docs themselves: "Broadly, bash has paid m

Giving an option is an awesome idea! It says a lot about the flexibility and open-mindedness of your company. Too many companies have a "take it or leave it" interview processes. IMO it depends on the position. I did a test-projec
