Can someone explain why this is interesting? I must be missing something.

Right now I believe we can sponsor renewals but not initial applications. I don't know of any immediate plans to change that, sorry.

If you never received a (human) response from us, that's a mistake on our part. I'm sorry about that. Unfortunately coordinating volunteers takes a lot of time and we haven't found it in our interests so far to really go down

As a complement to the project-based interviews that John mentions, we recently did this at Khan Academy with a candidate and are doing it with another this week. It's difficult because not everyone is free (or is interested) to take a

We're hiring Python programmers at Khan Academy too, not just JS! I can't promise that you'll get a project-based interview but I promise we'll be friendly.

Objective-C code tends to have longer method names than other languages, reducing the relative frequency of the special characters.

All our open positions are listed on our careers page so if you don't see something there that fits, we don't have anything (sorry!). Right now we can't support initial visa applications but I believe we can sponsor renewals.

Cool! Any reason you didn't just add a onMouseLeave handler too? If you do you don't need the componentWillReceiveProps, which I think is a bit nicer: http://jsfiddle.net/spicyj/DGLtv/

Not currently. Our frontend testing is extremely sparse at the moment. (We're working on making it better.) That said, React components are naturally small and reusable and so should lend themselves nicely to unit testing. Even though

by spicyj 13y ago
I think it just depends what you're looking for. React is fairly self-contained and only attempts to provide the view layer, not the model or controller (or however you choose to structure your code). Frankly, that's one of the bi

If it works, who cares what the code looks like? It can even be inspiring for others to see that code doesn't need to be "perfect" in order to get things done, and it's unlikely that people will think less of you just be

I had a really time figuring out what this is, but the "Getting Started" page shows off the API a bit. Wonder why they didn't just call it Raphael 3.0.

If Yahoo! had just sent the researchers t-shirts directly with thank-you notes, perhaps they still would have been disappointed with the reward but I doubt they (or we) would be as offended. Funny how actual cash evokes different reactions.
