Getting interviewed by Facebook was the a waste of time in my experience. They asked me to code something dummy at home saying "it'll only take 2 hours".
It takes 1 hour to write a new NPM module and publish for me. In the next remaining hour, I get feedback from somebody and learn something useful.
2 hours are really important for me. I would never spend that much of time for any company without getting paid.
Both RequireJS and Browserify are not even good options. Browserify's implementation is awkward, incomplete and pollutes global scope a lot. Check out OneJS: http://github.com/azer/onejs it's the only tool that lets you structure your clientside project as a commonjs package and produces unobtrusive code mixable with other code in same global scope
let me write a dialog library that depends on nothing;
function showModalBox(options){
var el = document.createElement("div");
el.className = "dialog "+( !options.classNames ? "" : classNames.join(" "));
el.innerHTML = options.content;
document.body.appendChild(el);
}
showing a box is the most stupid thing in this industry and the world will be a better place when we stop creating dozens of non-reusable dialog libraries.
I have a mobile phone that I bought for 10 bucks, and it doesn't have an alarm clock. Thanks to this awesome website, I get a phone call every morning at 7am. The great thing is, If I switch to a new phone, I'll not need to set my alarm clock again.
This is great. I think ifttt would be turned to a next generation marketplace for web apps. It has a huge potential.
I really cant believe that we're discussing this, the most stupid, simple language in the world!
I respect HTML coders and am aware of that they do fantastic job on frontend.
But nobody has to be talented HTML developer to build websites. It's stupid easy to do it. I'm a guy who never learnt HTML and am considered as a coder good at developing good websites.
Nevermind. I don't like this kind of pointless discussions. I don't like HN anymore.
