    And include every benefit/perk you get. 401K matching, however much the company pays for benefits, any stock/equity, yearly comp for events/conferences, etc. I think that's all rea…

    Very nice. It's funny, I keep clicking on these 'new JS library' links thinking, oh geez, not another one... but then I leave thinking, wow, that is very impressive and super usefu…

    Definitely just a bit of a spike to learn React and mess around with D3. I think it turned out pretty well though - lots of different things to play around with. https://github.com…

    The general goal with this module is to make it super easy to unit test node controllers without having to spin up a new server. Obviously, there is some work to do with tidying up…

    All good points - I'm not sure about the practicality of it, just intrigued by the ability to store and retrieve data from HTML elements. I can't imagine at the moment any project …

    A few follow up notes: GitHub repo here - https://github.com/TGOlson/html5-data-base Save link doesn't work. Right now it just logs all the 'db' data in the console. I'm thinking I…

    I think it would also be beneficial if you could browse job listings. I normally don't sign up for a site if I can't see any 'action' on the site. Not only would this probably attr…

    Ya, I actually had that problem with BS2 when viewing it mobile. I ended up redesigning the site anyway, but this may be a big plus for Bootstrap. As others have said, a lot of tim…

    Well, true, but many other professions have an oath of their own. Often times the language covered in that oath is supervised by a committee. Obviously, there are problems with thi…

    Why are iPad games so ugly?

    This may be a stupid question, since I don't know much about game creation or iOS (or anything at all, really), but why are iPad games so ugly? Is it just something simple like the…

    I like the idea. I'll be honest, half the emails in my inbox are from myself, either with links or quotes or ideas, whatever. Now, does EverNote offer something like this, or do th…
