#32You can use css counters to output the count on non fizz, buzz or fizzbuzz iterations http://codepen.io/anon/pen/QbNLxO https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Count...

#33There's a mistake in that code:
.fizzbuzz:nth-of-type(3n)::before{ content: "buzz"; }
Should be "fizz".

#34Can anyone recommend some intermediate resources for learning CSS. I have gone though css dog, and I kind of know most of that stuff already. Everything seems to be beginner or expert level.
And not csszengarden. It has some wonderful examples, but doesn't really explain how they work.

#35Nice! I am going to use this concept to solve problems "that can only be done in Javascript." Can't wait to confuse and delight the designers.

Honestly you should get a book. After you go through enough web resources you realize a pattern of dropping off after only scratching the surface of a topic, and books really help you to solidify the knowledge.
I've heard great things about this book (http://www.amazon.com/HTML-CSS-Design-Build-Websites/dp/1118...), but it is geared more towards beginners.

#37I could be wrong, but I believe the post that he's referring to as inspiration is this one: https://css-tricks.com/tales-of-a-non-unicorn-a-story-about-... A pretty interesting story about job titles and descriptions that are not representative of the job they're trying to hire for.
>and descriptions that are not representative of the job they're trying to hire for.
The position is described as a UX engineer and designer, and the applicant is expected to be experienced with JS and various frameworks for it.
The story seems to be more about a person who can't read and feels entitled to a job position they're not fit for. They were unable to display knowledge of basic for loops and conditionals and they were unable to convert a timecode string into seconds. Both of which are basically tests for "does this person even understand programming". Which they obviously don't because they wrote "OMG MATH" to a problem consisting only of the most basic logical concepts.
Maybe next time they should apply for a job that doesn't require programming knowledge.

I don't disagree with you that the job expected programming in their candidate. Nor should she have rationalized away the two lines that mentioned Javascript in description. However, I do believe that there is a communication error on the part of the company.
A UI/UX Designer/Engineer does not inherently require programming. In many startups, it does, as does wearing many hats. But if they're looking for someone to program, it should be outlined in the responsibilities. Knowing "HTML/CSS/JS" is different than building an entire application (just an example).
Not only that, but the line "Experienced with Object Oriented JavaScript and modern JavaScript libraries such as Ember, Backbone, or Angular." was placed under "Preferred Qualifications", which to me says "desirable but not necessarily required". If that's not what they meant, they should have clarified the importance.
My personal opinion is that if a job wants you to build stuff, they should outright say "You will be responsible for developing and maintaing a code base, in addition to designing and lending UI/UX expertise" rather than just loading a job listing with keywords.

I am a front-end guy, and I end up doing UX, design, back-end, bug tickets support, managing projects and clients and even back-end. If you try to stick to your job description, you are not going to be very helpful in the real world.
I do the same, and it's pretty common. I feel like the point of the post is that if that is what a company expects, they should outline it in the initial job description to prevent wasting everybody's time. Just saying HTML/CSS/JS Angular/Backbone doesn't indicate what level of expertise you want or how big a part they'll play in the position.

I'm fascinated by how involved people get in these kinds of stories. Hundreds of comments, and the mods been deleting a bunch. Post after post saying more or less the same thing. I need to figure out a way to channel this sentiment into an app and strike gold!
I think you just invented Twitter, congratulation
