Hey, what are the most painful limitations/gotchas you're hitting? I'm on this team and would like to hear about painpoints.

I was in Varick too! great memories of that place, it certainly felt like they were onto something back then.

Matches my experience, for the first step I was given a lengthy questionare and told it would be about 12 pages of answers. Nope'd out immediately.

It's a shame because the product and my Hiring Manager seemed great, I'm curious what candidates make it through.

also, to the author, make sure you turn _off_ persistent local storage, the performance is horrific (https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/issues/4045) - maybe helia is better?

very cool! if anyones interested here's a generic implementation

@OP, I'm an EM at "frugal", ldap is hcliff if you want to chat.

I'm assuming OP is L5, which does require "people influencing", although no formal leadership and or TL role is required. You can stay at this level indefinitely.

OP, is your manager ok with your current performance? Is your EM trying to grow you for promo or into the full level reqs? You should seek clarity here and if the former set boundaries/expectations as per the parent comment.

But now I'm struggling to find motivation to do my work Is this recent? I'm seeing this quite a bit with the current job insecurity and turmoil at the company. As other comments have advocated: therapy and consider extended leave or a team switch. FWIW I don't think lower stakes work is going to fix your motivation, something you care about may.

the user you're replying to has delightful previous comments such as "the US media is controlled by people eligible for Israeli citizenship" which is more dog-foghorn than dog-whistle

Not a question, but I just want to thank you for "inventing" review apps back in the day, the idea of having a full version of your app running for a branch was pretty game changing for the companies I worked at.

You should revisit this, in the last couple of years this has moved quite a bit, I'd say it's closer to 70-75 now. Obviously you'll get more in the states (or even frankfurt!), but it's changing rapidly.

There's also some offers in berlin for meaningfully higher, I'm just taking a ballpark average for senior.

I lived off Schönleinstraße and can attest to this. I heard it was due to a crackdown in Hermanplatz pushing people one stop over?

+1 on this, CTCI is worth its weight in gold

it looks like it also lets you check memory stats and event listener counts

This can't be right, nowhere near enough dependencies

Really nice! Very simply and clean. Integration with an invoicing system would be a great win.

This is true, but the time we're not spending compensating for browser inadequacies we're spending working with the new capabilities of html and css.

There's plenty of new features to master to make truly knowing the domain still valuable.

This is assuming that everyone is chasing the same level of perfection as apple. If the web can provide a "good enough" interface will the bulk of developers go to the extra effort of native apps?

Currently things like games are (largely) not good enough on mobile web and so the issue is forced, but building a native app for a nicer blur effect? Probably not.

Great project, the standard django admin regularly feels too 'magical', try to do anything custom and you're screwed.

Nice post. With expanded use of css3 features (gradients, shadows etc...) this will probably become more of an issue, but I hadn't really considered the impact that compile to css languages are having.

With the dynamic nature of the DOM, it's going to be very difficult to automagically improve selectors (that x% unused figure only accounts for the current users actions, not potential actions)

I'm a big fan of embedly and will continue to use them, this is a bit aggravating though. I think it's important to lay the blame with the party responsible here - twitter; for their increasingly developer hostile attitude.

Why the hell does it matter to them how I acquire the embed code? I'm still using the same damn code, all this does is make my life harder.

Depending on how they're writing their files; firefox doesn't support persistent file storage last time I checked.

Firefox does have indexeddb, but if you want to do seek operations you're out of luck.

EDIT: To explain more, without seek writing dealing with large files is incredibly expensive, you have to write everything you've got to indexeddb every time you want to modify it.

Nice work! How do you plan on dealing with the leeching ratio though? It'll be far higher than traditional bittorrent (where the user leaves the app running in the background).

Feel free to fork mine: https://github.com/hcliff/ampere

It's the only one I've seen that abides to the bittorrent spec (where possible). BEP 9 and 10 support incoming.

(Demo's broken, need to push a fix :()
