Is the scrolling lag because of MeteorJS or is that the dev's fault?
The scroll lag is primarily caused by the top navigation bar's fade-on-scroll effect and the large background image. Remove both of those and the scroll lag disappears.

#22I really like this. It reminds me of Mr. Money Mustache's "50 Jobs over $50,000 - Without a Degree": [Part 1] http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2013/07/25/50-jobs-over-50000... [Part 2] http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2013/08/05/50-jobs-over-50000... Quick question: How did you get pagination working?

I am using Flow Router https://github.com/kadirahq/flow-router to route the app. And this is the package I'm using for pagination https://atmospherejs.com/miguelalarcos/flow-router-paginatio.... So far it hasn't let me down (there are a few bugs with the subscriptions on each individual page) but if you play around with the work style filter you'll see the collection reactivity and how it's reflected on the subscription and pagination. Thanks for your feedback!
Waiting for Meteor to support pagination natively.

Thanks for the feedback. Background image is now at ~300kb. is it still occurring if you refresh?

Thanks for the tip! I actually wanted to build something in Meteor a while ago, but couldn't figure out how to set up pagination (and infinite scrolling just seemed awkward in that specific case). It's nice to see that there are ways to get it working.

#25I'm working on my meteor app too. Where are you hosting it? Can you provide more details on the deployment and how much monthly this costs you to keep it running?

Yeah the speed that Meteor is accelerating at as a framework is amazing to see, soon enough it will be playing with the big dogs no problem :)

#27Beautiful design. Clean, friendly colors, easy to read. Nice job!

#28For people nearing the end of high-school, please go to college. I don't have a degree and have been extremely lucky; I managed to get into middle-management and have been successful. The problem is that I'm not as "portable" as I would be with a degree - in other words, a layoff or termination could put my lifestyle in jeopardy. As such, I am going back to school at 29. Get it over with :)
In my personal experience a solid work history is much better than a degree. Once you have it the value of a degree decreases significantly. Its almost entirely redundant. The only problem is you often need the degree to get the work history. I've also noticed as I start working with people who have their Masters and some with PHDs that people take me seriously. It's like... I must know what I'm talking about. How el…
Not having a degree does lock you out of some opportunities where HR uses it as a binary checkbox. We can go on and on here about how such policies are stupid and how you wouldn't really want to work at a place like that anyway, but the fact of the matter is not having a degree closes doors. In that sense, there is value to having one.

I'm 37. At my age a degree is completely irrelevant if you have the skill set. In fact, ten years ago I was approached by a university to start my Master's degree, with the missing Bachelor's degree being credited through time spent working in my industry at the time.
The reality of education in America is that it's an expensive tickbox. It verges on being a racket. While you don't want to be the lone rebel being crushed under the wheels of the machine, if you can avoid becoming indentured to the government with a student loan then do yourself a favour and choose not to waste money on education you can just teach yourself.
