This comment/quote seemed interesting to me: "A WELL-DESIGNED APP IS MUCH BETTER TO USE THAN A MOBILE WEB BROWSER, EVEN ON A LARGE PHONE" as The Verge did away with their native app a long time ago.

I wonder how he feels about The Verge not having a native app.

Like the mindset that eating fat directly makes a person increase fat percentage. Similarly to the idea around cholesterol.

Indeed agrees with you- "Leading Tech Job Trends": http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends

Doesn't the author end by saying Swift, Rust and Go are "tomorrow's languages"?

If they still serve video via Brightcove, seems like a big win for the Zencoder acquisition, which included the video.js player. I do see video.js in the source.

This is so relevant to me. Mainly the years of experience part.

I've always been a technical minded person who dabbles in coding for side projects. I've come to a point in my career where I want my side work, coding (web to be specific), to actually be my professional career.

I'm willing to take a significant pay cut to do so and I've been searching Indeed, LinkedIn, and Angel for weeks now.

For the record I am in Boston. Not only are junior postings so rare, but when I do find them, they are as this article describes: "2-3 years+ professional experience and proficient in at least one of the following".

I get Boston is wildly competitive now, so do I accept this as the junior/entry expectations? So I'll never be qualified unless I go to a bootcamp? Do I just grind and start my own business or large portfolio on the side?

Or is there agreement that these junior requirements are too aggressive in this space?

This is not what I was trying to convey. Doesn't absolve a company from wrongdoing. If a company is doing something horrific, but no one knows about it, that doesn't make it okay.

I was just trying to rebut the initial comment that this proves the market couldn't solve this.

I don't necessarily have an answer, but I am just saying, if the market isn't even aware, how could they even act?

I'm pretty libertarian myself so I understand your concern, but only if the "market" actually knew about this. The point I'm trying to make is that this article (posted here and Reddit) is the first time I'd ever heard of this.

I'd say I'm a pretty average person so I don't think the masses had a clue about microbeads.

What I believe and hope is that if the masses did know about this, the market would have reacted and forced action.
