Just a guess, but Buffett would often host undergrad and grad students at his home. https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/warren-buffett-hosts-15-whar...

I was going to say this as well. If you haven't done competitive interviews, it's easy to underestimate how much prep / skill is required.

I've been making algorithms videos that highlight how one could discover various solutions from first principles. Example: https://youtu.be/54yUPn3M0ds?si=IcKpUW8NO1rqiO4S I find i…

21 I was interning at a small startup and made some financial models in Excel (using functions like index and match together). At the time, I told a programmer at the company that …

Did you try reading the ui-router docs? https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router/blob/master/README.m... The "Nested States & Views" section of the README links to a full working de…

Thanks for the perspective. This is why I encourage all developers to take some time to teach new people. The "everyone knows this obviously" attitude goes away very quickly if you…

Nowhere did I tell people to write an entire app in the style of hide and vote like you're implying. In my comparisons I mention a lot of choices people might make, like Angular vs…

[I made the video] I don't think this is ironic at all. When I mentioned "framework of the week hype" in my initial comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11308043 ), I was…

When you try to vote it will ask you to log in.

YES! totally agree For a subset of us, framework authors, open source contributors, etc. It's very useful to keep up to date on the latest trends. For example, the Angular team has…

The video mentions this was a dummy account created just for this video.

Without JS, return false from the vote function wouldn't happen, so I guess clicking upvote would follow node.href, which would send the vote to the server. It would work anyway, t…

What's most fascinating to me about this isn't the simplicity, it's that this code has lived for so long with almost no changes. It's a great counter-example to all the recent arti…

Here are clickable links since I couldn't get them to work in the text post. Download to the thesis as a PDF: https://github.com/karma-runner/karma/raw/master/thesis.pdf The Karma …

Came across this as I was going through Karma's documentation. It's Vojta's thesis that led to the development of Karma. https://github.com/karma-runner/karma/raw/master/thesis.pdf…

I just posted the first four videos to a new course I’m working on. It’s called Firebase Foundations. A lot of my Angular students loved using Firebase as they went through my Angu…

I created a video course that addresses the exact problem you're describing and shows you how to build a full multi-page app backed by a database (but it's for Angular rather than …

Based on code4startup this is a copy. https://twitter.com/Code4Startup/status/678340473614761984 What's weird is the founder/ceo of codeupstart used to work for code4startup.

I'm working on a draft blog post that talks about how I went from undergrad business school to tech (I'm currently the founder of watchandcode.com). Would be happy to share it with…

The concept behind directives like ng-click is actually pretty simple underneath. The Angular parser will go through the elements in the DOM and look for attributes it knows about …

iObject actually does not sound malevolent at all. Quite the opposite actually. Reminds me of http://somebodyapp.com/

The Annotated Version of Eloquent JS (this was mentioned in the article) is similar except the annotations are for a book rather than a library. https://watchandcode.com/courses/el…
