I actually applied to CKE as my first job as, having made my own WYSIWYG editor [0] as a side project while I was at school, it seemed like something I had experience of. Never heard back from them: sounds like I dodged a bullet then!

Once again I'm sorry for the lack of reply. Back in I.2013 our team was much smaller and we were overloaded with post release stuff shortly after launching CKEditor 4.0.0. So lots of emails were left unattended :( Tade0 (buongiorno!) was right that at that time we were not looking for junior developers, but ofc the lack of reply was a mistake on my side.

Oh, are you currently employed there? I found a minor-ish XSS vector allowed by CKEditor 4 if there is a place I should submit an issue...

I'm curious, have you ever used TeXmacs? It is, in my non-expert oppinion, by far the best WYSIWYG editing experience (barring some minor implementation bugs). The visual bounding box cues, in particular, make formatting much easier.

I guess it was probably because(to my knowledge) only recently they started hiring junior developers.

Anyway it was a hard and thankless job, but during these almost two years I learned a lot about having an, um, work ethic and doing things to the best of my ability.

Also my current job looks really easy in comparison.
