Downvoting!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>:(

When I search for a band, I get results in the autocomplete/dropdown but when I hit the "find music" button, it says not found.

It's pretty cool, but I think the layout needs work. It's more vertical than I'd like.

Why'd we make it? Because we want to make it easier for likeminded developers and designers to meet and collaborate with one another. In other words, we want to help folks actually build the lovely projects they're thinking about.

Rrrrawwwwwwwrrrrrrrrr!!!

JavaScript disabled on Yahoo home page:

"After crunching the numbers, we found a consistent rate of JavaScript-disabled requests hovering around 1% of the actual visitor traffic, with the highest rate being roughly 2 percent in the United States...

The second takeaway is that JavaScript-disabled users exist. While 2% of U.S. visitors may not seem like a lot, keep in mind that over 300 million users visit the Yahoo! homepage each month. That means 6 million users visit each month without the benefit of JavaScript...While the percentage of visitors with JavaScript disabled seems like a low number, keep in mind that small percentages of big numbers are also big numbers. "

He used to work at Yahoo. That's where I met him and while I never worked on a team with him, he seemed like a nice guy. Definitely smart, though his blog/writing style may come across as arrogant to some. I would have loved to end up on a team with him as I'm sure I could have learned a lot from him.

Former Yahoo employee here, does anyone know what properties and staff type are in this latest round? I've already heard of a Flickr engineer.

Engineer seems to be the preferred choice I see nowadays. The name seems to infer higher prestige, IMO. Kind of like web designer -vs- User Interface Engineer or even just User Interface Designer.

Gotta have them fancy titles, you know?

Wow, the PDX conference looks awesome!

A quick search gave me these 3 PHP solutions, http://digitizor.com/2010/12/01/stackoverflow-clone-php/

I thought Stack Overflow actually licensed their software where you can start your own Q&A site on whatever. Might be something to look into.

Needs localStorage.

They want top talent but don't want to pay for it, all the while dangling the 'could easily turn into a full-time job' carrot in front of them.

Problem is, top talent is not this stupid.

PayPal is not a bank, folks...

It was '08, I know :)

Great 15 minute video I encourage you all to watch.

Horrible fonts. Horrible tagline.

I have no idea what you do, why would I want to get updates on your progress?

You might want to take a look at this page. These are some links I've collected in regards to Stanford and their CS classes.

"You're building something intricate and fine."

Odds are, you're not. Well, intricate yes, but fine, no.

You're not looking for just a designer, you're looking for a designer and front-end developer. Rarely do you find someone who is good at both.

Minimum wage is around $8/hour and $200 gives you 25 hours (3 working days). This is for custom design, custom cross-browser development and testing. Yeah, you say you're OK with some repurposed design but that isn't really going to solve your problem.

Can you not do better than $200? If you could do $500 I bet you'd get a different caliber of responses - assuming you don't request change after change after change. Even $500 is absolute peanuts, though.

Regardless, this is just my 2 cents. Good luck.

I saw this not terribly long ago, seems like it might have accessibility issues as it wraps each letter in a span so I wonder. if. screenreaders. would. read. each. letter. as. a. single. word.

Also wonder perhaps about SEO issues - does the google bot execute javascript?

Go contract to hire. It gives you an easy out if they end up not being a good fit. It's really the way to go with new folks regardless of how the interview goes, IMO.

Not sure what that means. I've always just been curious as to some "rough" estimates of what sites are making based on some basic stats. I don't care about particular URLs or marketing strategies or the like.
