Have you tried the Soda[1] theme for Sublime? It's very slick, but assuming you've tried it, our definition of beautiful is wildly different. Do you have examples of other apps which you consider aesthetically pleasing? [1] https

As an engineer involved with recruiting: how would I stumble across your profile/resume, and how much time do you expect engineers to spend clicking through LinkedIn profiles? Would it be a positive or negative sign to you if the compa

I would argue that recursion is very important. Could you elaborate on what makes it bad practice? Sure, in languages without tail-call optimization, using it instead of a loop will incur more overhead, but certain problems (like traversing

I have an Audio Technica ATH-M50 that I'm happy with. It's around the $150 range, sometimes $100 if you find a good sale. Using my iMac, I can never put the volume above 3 notches. It's definitely loud! And comfortable, since

Final Fantasy Tactics was a lot like that -- every random enemy in every random battle had a randomly generated name, and human enemies always had an interesting mix of level-appropriate armor and spells.

That's how I feel in Boston. I pay $75/mo for an MBTA pass, but usually take Uber/Lyft once or twice a week. To get from Allston to Jamaica Plain, at night, I either need to: take a train into the city, and then a different t

"know how to code in multiple languages and provide decent coding examples" "a fully functioning and non-trivial web app" If you haven't written a full app in a language, can you really claim proficiency in it?

Scale. Twitter and Dropbox are dealing with problems in a completely different realm than Gilt or Birchbox. Shopify would be a more interesting comparison; it's an e-commerce platform, rather than an e-commerce site, which undoubtedly

To elaborate, for anyone who hasn't used Photoshop (in several years): you can have layer groups which act as folders containing several related layers, so when you're browsing layers, it isn't just a mess of 500 some-odd row

Working remotely may have a small effect on future interviews, but it's negligible -- you can just focus on your work ethic, since you would have been able to produce design/code without someone eyeing over your shoulder.

I used to work entirely remotely, and six months ago started working at a hundred-person office in downtown Boston. It has been, without a doubt, the best career move I've made, and I've made a lot of friends in the process. #1 so
