To me, the awkward "is this funny or not" approach to writing this article fits in perfectly with the sentiment of the author (and my own) about the subject. In my 18 years as a web dev I've tumbled down every rabbit hole and

A great voice of reason amid all the news of inflated valuations and scandal. Keeping it real since day one.

Yep! Love Ember. I think it's good that this project it trying to bring some of the RoR and Ember ideas to the React Redux stack.

I think it's a great idea to try and bring some of RoR's developer happiness to JS. Universal React + Redux is a great stack but I could see why beginners, unfamiliar with starter repos, could get overwelmed reading the respective

I'm sure you will! This is something that has always inspired me: in the US small businesses are heroes, going out on a limb and doing your own thing is the definition of the american spirit. Becoming a job creator in the process is an

I'm playing around with AI trying to improve our everyday productivity with it, so that more people would eventually have more time to live their lives and spend time with those near and dear to them. Very early, we'll see how it

I've been a tech consultant since my late teens but got out and passed all my clients on to a close friend so that I could focus on my own work about a year ago. It was a leap of faith for sure, but where there's a will there&#x27

Excellent way of drawing attention to the subject! Kudos. Might be interesting to explore the option of adding a beautiful data vis on the home page to capture the user's attention from the get-go. Looking at the sub pages you're

If you haven't yet, you should check out the Thiel Fellowship. http://www.thielfellowship.org I can't speak from experience, all I know is that the fellowship supports bright young talent much like you. Anyhow, keep up

Amazing job building this. I'm twice your age and have been programming since I was 11 too and am just blown away. Just FYI, looks like you might have an infinite loop: 999+ TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'document

I really like the concepts and simplicity you propose, but I don't think the issue lies with the framework developers. The web is still really young and the standard organizations are still figuring out what HTML / CSS / JS &

While this made me laugh because it's an exact description of the last 3 years of my professional life, I am happy new frameworks keep popping up. The holy grail of front end frameworks hasn't been invented yet but with each new f

Fully agree with devmach. Angular has a very similar problem and they know it. I think that one of the things we can expect from Angular 2.0 is a much larger example app. I'm ready to see the end of TodoMVC and the beginning of CMSMVC

Thanks for the break down! I had an early EV and loved that initial kick. Always fascinating to know the specifics behind what's going on.

I actually went through a few stages of the interview process at SpaceX but was offered only a fraction of my current income. Regardless, I greatly admire the company's ambition and goals. The methane powered Raptor engine for the MCT

Hillary also uses Webfonts by Hoefler, Modernizr, jQuery, Google Analytics, Font Awesome and possible a heavily modified version of Bootstrap.

I've been working on some offline first real time collaboration apps, will definitely give Crudlet a try. Maybe promote the existing Todo example to the site of the repo so it's easily accessible for first time visitors?

This is a great point. But maybe it's possible to strike a balance? No teenager likes being told they can't or shouldn't pursue their dreams. Plus, with this drive and ambition his company might IPO when he's 18 and then

Hi Lachlan! I admire your work and ambition. I started my career at your age as well, mostly building websites for friends and family. As mentioned in previous comments, there are US laws that stand in the way of companies actually hiring y
