Same here. I've been using reddit primarily as a search engine for the last two years. It's a good supplement to filter out the bs.

When I recently asked my grandfather about his browser preference, he said Yahoo. I came to realize that he believes Yahoo IS the web; it's his start page on IE.

I'm also getting started. Is the MDN a good place to start?

Yes!

I think I made is to minus 15 with a friend. I might start again...

Yes, that's exactly what I mean.

No problem. I look forward to watching your progress :)

I think the role explanations should be clearly expressed in text on the site. I'm not saying the videos aren't helpful - they should just be included later in the navigation process.

Maybe I'll watch a video about Optiver when I've narrowed down a path, but initially I'm interested in the career and the roles associated with it.

I'd like to see figures like average salary, number of listings, and a succinct description of the role. Maybe even something in the same vein as the "Company Perks" on the individual company pages.
I don't think the youtube videos add enough to justify the clutter. I'd rather have more text details/stats on the initial job descriptions.
