You can definately work nights and weekends, but most people don't need to hold down their regular local jobs. Why would you keep your local $30k/y job when you can work full-time on Toptal for $80k/y? Toptal covers hourly (m

If you're based in United States, Toptal probably isn't the best solution for you. Otherwise, it's a completely different story. As a developer I've used Toptal in the past and honestly, they're doing a great job. I

Do you think there are biological differences between genders ? For example, is the fact that men tend to negotiate more a social construct, or is it based in biology? Should society tax men for their behavior and redistribute the wealth to

Still not sure what to believe on this issue. Some points of discussion are (unrelated to article): 1. If women were 25% cheaper than men while being as competent, wouldn't white/male capitalists trip over themselves to only hire

2x normal salary isn't massive. Some startups get 5 mil investment, others get 10 — not a huge deal imo.

All of these comments taking a crap on jQuery are hilarious. It's like saying "Using lodash is bad because then you don't learn real javascript and you rely on another big library to do the job for you". Becoming an expe

You're probably one of those racists like that Sam Harris guy! In all seriousness this kind of thing should be discussed more openly. I'm afraid that political correctness leads to nothing more than repressed bigotry. Better tha

It's because they're racist. Do you want to be racist like Japan or get BTFO'd? That's what I thought! edit: It's a (bad) joke.

I was 99% sure this was going to be another one of those jokes like http://vanilla-js.com/ . It's kind of sad that it isn't.
