Kustomer | Senior Software Engineer Roles [NYC|Durham|Remote (USA)] |https://boards.greenhouse.io/kustomer

Kustomer is a great opportunity for an experienced Node.js dev: we've got a big product challenge (building the future of Customer Support software), a fun tech stack (Node.js microservices, heavy use of MongoDB/ElasticSearch/AWS, a CI/CD philosophy), and tough tech challenges (we deal with a lot of messaging and event data and the scale is growing all the time).

We're currently hiring for Senior Software Engineers on multiple teams, and are in the middle of a move to a remote-friendly structure so feel free to apply to any opening if you're in the US.

Whatcounts| Full Time | Front End Developer | Atlanta GA or Durham NC | https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/942692404/

Whatcounts is an email marketing company building out some exciting new technical projects. This role will be working on our new React-based UI and will have the opportunity to take responsibility for major parts of it as things grow out.

Tech stack is still being determined, but at minimum you'll get to work with React, Jest, Babel and modern JavaScript

Turning off all the light switches that have been left on in a big house though is a meaningful convenience. I think the privacy point is strong enough without having to trash people's use cases.

If you read the post, that is mostly the work that they're describing.
Re:Betting on the Web – Why I Build PWAs on Monday September 11, 2017 @02:20PM (#15220792)
The value of PWAs with service worker support is that redownloads don't happen. That's also how they can have offline support (on Android at least, safari currently has a lest robust caching story)
Re:Rise and fall of JVM languages on Monday August 21, 2017 @01:19PM (#15066033)
Java and JavaScript are not directly related. JavaScript added Java to the name for marketing purposes. JavaScript doesn't run on the JVM like the rest of these languages
Mostly pre-es6, but this is my favorite "intermediate -> advanced" JavaScript book: https://www.amazon.com/Effective-JavaScript-Specific-Softwar...

There are gaps/things that have changed since the book came out, but this is a really great resource for understanding the core JS language.

Re:Sublime Text build 3133 now available on Friday June 02, 2017 @03:02PM (#14472498)
Atom's 3rd party linter package is nicer than SublimeLinter (allows auto fixing, persistently showing errors throughout file, a few other niceties). Atom exposes nicer UIs for configuring things. There's more quality depth to Atom's 3rd party libs in my experience. I wrote this a while ago, it gives some idea what is possible with Atom: https://benmccormick.org/2016/01/11/the-most-interesting-ato...
