I used to work for a company called Tictail ( https://tictail.com ) that promotes upcoming brands. If you're anywhere in the fashion, home, jewelry and accessories kind of space, it might be a good fit. Check it out.

And none of this matters at all if you, like the vast majority of services, have less than thousands of requests per second. I don't mind Go or Node, but regardless of what platform you prefer to work on, your time is likely far more e

Been using kwm for the past 6 months or so. Amethyst never really clicked for me, and it didn't work very well with multiple spaces, which I am a big user of. Kwm and khd (kwm does layouting, khd sets up keyboard shortcuts) are not the

I recently transitioned from a front-end position to a back-end position, so I'm currently learning Java as well as a bunch of architectural and devopsy topics for work. On the side, I want to get better at shipping, so I have a goal t

I (together with my team) maintain 4 main services. On top of that, I'm one of the main contributors to one cross-company project, and help out with my old team's projects every once in a while.

We're doing something like that for Klarna Checkout ( https://www.klarna.com/us/business/sell-online-with-klarna ). At first, we built applications as completely standalone applications that were loaded into if

This is just patently false. Animations can give a sense of continuity and context for the effect of your actions. For example, let's say that you have an alphabetized list of people, and you want to add a person to the list by putting

You can, but it pretty much is obsolete at this point. 1. `document.querySelector()` and then just modify the DOM however you want. 2. `node.addEventListener()` 3. `fetch()` There are still things that jQuery provides that aren't as si

Because it's literally impossible. If you want someone to be able to read your text or view your image, in the end the light has to reach the viewer's eyes, and that means it can be recorded. At best, DRM can be an annoyance. It c

Look into client-side error tracking. We're using Sentry where I work. It will catch any uncaught exceptions, group them together and normalize the stack traces (because of course they look different across browsers). If you tag the er

As the interviewer, I'm not going to show up unprepared either. Typically, having an interview means learning about the candidate and what would be interesting to talk to them about, learning what team they might be a good fit for and
