Awesome. Really need the ability to search by company name - so we can find out how a company is before joining (or while inside).

#52Sorry, but I am going to comment on a technical implementation rather than the content of a site. The site shows blank page without JS enabled. I did not understand why one would need one megabyte of minified Javascript to display a list of 10 items. Probably it is because the developers were too busy learning trendy JS frameworks and do not know about HTML and server side page generation (in PHP this could be done m…
Enable gzip

I'm someone who builds a lot of SPAs for things that really don't need to be SPAs. The ability to host on gh-pages and to not implement a backend at all seals the deal for me.
That said, I try to load a static version of the compiled result as part of the skeleton HTML. Even if it gets overwritten by the SPA afterwards, it makes things look faster.

#54A better version can be created in 5 minutes with Thymble: https://github.com/bkarst/thymble.
Clever idea though.

Storing and processing data locally in a user's browser without using server API actually can be a valid reason to build a client-side application. But they just use one megabyte of JS code to implement client-side rendering for JSON data received from API. Serving a 10 Kb HTML page is obviously a better solution. I see no single benefit from using complicated JS framework here.

#56too early and seems to be more like a joke I'll visit once than something useful in a job search

I can bet uncompressed 10 Kb HTML file still would load faster.

Have you got a demo working of this?
What specifically were your reasons for using rails for it?

"The site shows blank page without JS enabled"
Oh my goodness, a website that requires a web browser to use!
How will we survive..

Preach. Static client all the way.
