Need the full context around your resume/linked-in/personal site to be able to give you better info, but throwaway892238 covers the main bases.

Yeah, ATL is adding a number of tech jobs (hopefully Amazon too). Cost of living is increasing, but relative to everywhere else it is cheap to live in the city center. Developments of apartments and condos has exploded, which is making for a nice urban feel.

when entering dimensions the warning box for it being too high or too low will not close. I can't figure out how to do it?

I am using Chrome.

Possibly check for if the cursor is in the box as well as if the value is outside of the range. If the range changes or goes back to 0 and the cursor is not in the text field, have the warning go away?

Yes US, East Coast is down.

My 2 cents is that all the talent in LS is fleeing and no matter how good the CEO is, they will have to completely up-end their internal culture and fire their skill-less work force

Not bad, but it doesn't mention anything about apps being able to send data to each other. That is HUGE and will open the door for companies to partner up and share features.

That is a pretty funny spin. I would hope you have a metric in there to show who is the current leader and what team they are on.

I do have to say, that is a unique way to bring a consistent message across urls

The best question now is:

What registrar will allow me to register on day 1 for the cheapest?

I just looked at GoDaddy (yes I know they suck), and they are charging a premium to pre-register.

www.codeacademy.com is a pretty good fundamentals. They also have a community of "advanced" developers with user generated problems to solve once you get past the fundamentals.

I like the concept because it is only a means to a conversation. The only issue I can see is people abusing the friends aspect. Is there a way to qualify their friends to make sure they know what they are talking about and can be trusted?

I work in fed technology, and I agree wholeheartedly that the acquisition process for technology is horrible.

Everything I have seen about the Salesforce Hackathon screams foul play. I also agree that it looks like companies are abusing hackathons for project ideas and code.

At this point I don't trust any hackathon that is created by a company that wants you to use their technology specifically.

Does it not bother anyone that the same machine is "built" in 2 different buildings?

That looks nice, but I will never download it for fear of wasting too much time on HN.

And I am trying to push my edits to my team repo... worst timing ever

I don't understand why a city needs to keep "growing" to keep it alive. Keep the height restrictions because it keeps the city beautiful. Why don't we develop the parts that are run down before we screw up the view.

An excerpt from David Mosher's Presentation "So You Want to be a Front-End Engineer":

A hacker can come up with solutions, but maybe they can’t look back after they’ve finished and realize how they came up with the solution. They just kinda poke at things until they get something that works. … At some point, you level up and become a developer and a developer understands best practices. They’ve heard other developers say things like “you should put your scripts at the bottom of the webpage” … and you use those best practices to craft solutions but you don’t really understand beneath the best practices, beneath the abstractions. … An engineer is someone who can get things done, craft a solution — they understand the best practices, but they also understand why they’re using the best practices that they are … [they] move into an understanding of the platform as a whole.

This is horrible. The Oculus is just gearing up to be something great.

It is kind of morbid, but This is going to turn into an interesting case study on how a company stays afloat when a major influence is removed from the picture.

I would go back to them and state that you have a recording with their promise of vesting. Make sure to read all the verbiage that you signed previously. Don't make it public at all. It is good you haven't yet. Make sure that the person who gave the comment about having your vesting cliff had the authority to make that comment. If there is law where you are that makes verbal agreements legitimate and the one who gave the agreement has authority to make that arrangement, then you have a pretty solid case.

I wouldn't threaten to go public and all that nonsense because it makes both parties look bad and even if you are in the right, future companies might see you as a trouble maker.

cross the "T"s and dot the "I"s, and if that pans out and they don't respond to your initial statement, lawyer up.

Good luck.

I am currently working at a top consulting firm from LinkedIn pointing me towards the company "Jobs" portal for a position.

The best thing to do is properly convey your skills in a manner that is attractive to your target career. I wanted to work in technology integration consulting, so I did research on what is desired in those positions, looked back into my history, and made sure to highlight those skills in my resume.

The best advice I ever received in getting a good job was:

"Make getting a job your job. Wake up, take a shower, put on a suit, and sit down from 9-5 until you get a job."

If someone meets the qualifications, is excited about the position, can handle the startup life, and isn't destructive, I don't see why not
