I agree. This looks amazing. Absolutely gorgeous. This really was done with just using JS? wow. But I have no idea what I just watched.

You know you can't get rid of the Pres. But you can get rid of these senators. Please find out who voted for this, and do not vote for them again.
Re:How to Become a Great JavaScript Developer on Wednesday June 17, 2015 @10:20AM (#9731893)
Just adding my two cents. Wanna be a good JS dev? Go play around with a lisp. Like Clojure for a month or two. Get comfortable with functional programming. Then come back to JS. So many people come from a OOP to JS and they have a bad time with it. JS is more like a lisp with C syntax than it is a traditional OO language. Learning Clojure, not only improved my JS abilities, but just my over all programming maturity. IMO. Additionally, I agree with the author about reading books, and libraries. It's always good advice for any language.
There are a lot of bad interview questions. Like "Why do you want to work here?" ... I dunno, cause I thought you would pay me.
