Ask HN: Should Frontend(CSS) and Backend Devs Be Paid Equally? A Discussion

Hey everyone,We're having an internal discussion about whether there should be a pay difference between top-tier frontend developers and backend developers, or if they should be compensated equally.In the past, CSS was a skill many could handle. However, in recent years, it has become increasingly complex, with new features being added to browsers almost monthly.Senior CSS experts argue that...

Re:You shouldn't hotlink someone else's JavaScript on Friday July 26, 2013 @04:36AM (#6107203)
a friend asked me some days ago: can u help me with a little problem? my old coder has no time to fix it.

the classic: "it worked yesterday..."

so i checked the code and all js,css files where used from a git repo from some other guy. who moved all files away in other directories.

was easy to fix, but i have no idea how stupid his coder is to use github urls from other people repos!!

sooo now i only need a picture of my nemesis/crush to get in his/her apartment? sounds good...all the fun i can have...

...and totally not crepy...

WHAT THE FUCK?

one more reason to get a $70 lock where the key is not that easy to reproduce! and hopefully they stick to the normal rules and ask for the certificate when u want a copy. that would make it a bit safer.

"a complete guide"

and then in the first step u already using .rbenv without really mention it before (i also read ur other article where u saying that u using it)

maybe you can add a link to a good rbenv install faq or something like that. makes it easier for some people who might hit ur guide without rbenv.

but all in all a very good read. i will give it a try on the weekend in one of my apps.

Re:Saying Goodbye to a Sister on Saturday March 30, 2013 @09:38PM (#5467316)
first of all: i am so so so so sorry for you!!!

i have a older sister, and i guess i love her more then my parents, it would be the worth if she was gone. we are separated by five years, and we both in totally different things, but there is this connection between brothers and sisters which are stronger then everything else.

but there is a bad part about my comment, and that was more the intention i make this comment, and i already know i will get a lot of down votes, but: what the fuck has this do to on "HACKER NEWS"? it's not against you personally, but in the last weeks a lot of personal storys filling this page more and more, and i do not like this trend. i'm very ver sorry for this part of my comment! but it is bothering me since weeks.

but in the end i want to say again: i'm sorry for you i have a kind of an idea what it feels like, after my grandma past away 3 years ago.

Re:Remapping Caps Lock on OS X Mountain Lion on Saturday March 30, 2013 @03:10AM (#5464733)
Not a bad idea to use caps lock for a different key, but i guess it is not the big time saver to use it as cmd+r - takes pretty much the same time.

i also needed a tool to remap some keys - i'm living in germany but i'm using a us-int. keyboard to have it easier on coding. but also i wanted to use german letters: äöü without holding aou pressed and then press the number i need in the overlay of special chars.

now i have it on alt+a/o/u

i used Ukelele (http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&...) for it - pretty easy tool, where you can create your complete own keyboard layout and set it up with your own icon and so on. And without less steps then explained in your todo list.

who might is interested in this us-german-layout (https://github.com/marvwhere/usgerman)

Re:Why I'm switching back to Firefox on Monday March 11, 2013 @06:01AM (#5355778)
1) Firefox is the new IE7/8 - i having more and more issues with standard css settings, which are f* up in the ff, but are nice and shiny in all other brothers (yes even in ie)

2) "I honestly believe Mozilla is committed to freedom and privacy on the web." - haha thats funny :D you know about chromium right? :D its free, you can code on it too if you want too, sure there are might be 1-2 functions in the chrome, which belongs to google, but all in all you can know the code. and google did there learnings after the first versions where they sending stuff to there servers.

and in the end, all browser are logging the same shit, where are we clicking, what are we doing, where we enter this and that. why? because they want to make there money too, and collect a big big big database, which they can sell to other companies. and learn stuff out of it. i guess on this view all brothers are the same crap

3) memory management - yes its true chrome get stuck more and more often, and eating the memory, and it is annoying. but for me, firefox still is worse. everytime i start firefox for debugging some website or whatever, i'm totally pissed, because this stupid software still needs like forever for the initialised start. and when you keep it open for 2 days, you done :D in my opinion even photoshop has a better memory management then firefox.

=

i hope for the chrome too, that the switch from opera to webkit, give them a little ass kick, because that is that what all browser companies needed, an ass kick.

first there was an IE everybody used it, so why should they update it? then there was the firefox, ie was screwed, everybody used ff now, so why should they update it? then there was the chrome, ff was screwed, everybody used chrome now, so why should they update it?

and everybody took there lesson out of it, IE is getting better, FF starts updating there browser after sitting on 3.6 like forever... and thats ok, people now having like 3-4 good brothers and can choose.

Re:Chess CAPTCHA on Sunday March 10, 2013 @02:15PM (#5352809)
i like the idea, but i'm not that good in chess so i'm lost here =) my advantage? i could learn it, and solve the problem, but what are blind people doing? they have no chance to solve the captcha.

are there any ideas, how to deal with this problem? like a audio file, where all positions are being told? or anything like that? right now i would not have an idea how to solve this in a good way.

me as a web-developer often thinks about the common problem, we we need these captchas, and would be a good alternative to them. until now i had no idea )= hopefully someday someone has a idea to replace captchas with an easier protection for all people.

the sad part is, that we need stuff like captchas since years... stupid spam!!
