>The other frameworks like React, Angular, Cycle or Ember will then become the Data-flow layer of the app.
None of these frameworks like dom being changed from underneath them, you will run into all sort of weirdness.
Re:Show HN: A Pomodoro app for your menubar/tray

About 7yrs ago I published a basic pomodoro app to app store . I received intellectual property infringement notice from 'FC Garage GmbH' to take my app down, which I did. The email on that notice was [email protected], so I assume it has something to with the guy who created it.

I don't find talking and thinking at the same time natural. 'Just think out loud' seems so unnatural to me, I never do it in daily life. I am used to thinking to deep house music not to interviewers staring at me like hungry wolves. Its hard to communicate with someone who already knows the solution to question because you are thinking together and feeding off of each others thoughts like in a normal work situation.
I think the idea of modern open office is built on the same idea that people would be thinking, communicating and collaborating at the same time, but I hate open offices for this precise reason.

You think it would be helpful to let the candidates know what they would be evaluated for in the coding assignment.
I would have dazzled them with java 8 if I knew I was going to be rejected a based on that :D
I was under the impression that this was the usual algorithm/data structure/complexity rigamarole, not show us latest language features.

I am interested in this too. I recently failed netflix code review because I used java 7 instead of java 8 which apparently showed them I don't keep up with new technology (even tough the question asked me to pick any language on jvm.) Other reasons given to me were that i used maven instead of gradle.

I am in the same boat, I have over a decade of experience doing all sort of thing. But I was recently rejected by netflix because I used java 7 instead of java 8 in their coding interview because 'it shows them that I don't keep up with latest tech'.
