Early-Stage Startup | NYC or Remote (US) | Full-Time | Front-End JavaScript Engineer | $140-190k

Stealth startup (ex-Google and other companies that you might like/dislike) looking for an experienced front-end (web browser) engineer. Must understand fundamentals of JS, HTTP, and the browser. Must have experience building data-intensive front-ends from scratch. Must understand state management and effective management of network calls.

We have a small existing React code base, but this opportunity is nearly green field - you will define/drive the next phase of architecture and implementation, with an eye toward performance and production-readiness. If you like small teams that value technical chops over office politics, then this role may be what you're looking for.

Respond with resume to aG5qb2JAY2FsbG93aGlsbHRlY2hub2xvZ2llcy5jb20= (not a test, simply anti-spam maneuver).

Including a note about who you are/how you like to build things would simply be helpful, but cover letter not required per se.

It’s already a reality, I was doing it about ten years ago.

require.js was a big piece of the puzzle, allowing the use of modules in browser without a build step.

The only time a “build” happened was to concat/minify scripts for production release, but even this wasn’t strictly necessary.

There were other pieces involved, but we had a powerful stack (aforementioned modules, css preprocessing, reactive templating) that had a faster and easier workflow than anything happening today.

Cognito supports OAuth integration, but itself isn't an implementation of OAuth.

I don't know anything about modulating LEDs, but could that high freq. have anything to do with the quiet but audible whine I hear when the light is on? Seems like it could be 8kish.

Works well. How much are you pulling from the video title and description?

The idea of impossible fingerings is ambiguous - I can play that D minor voicing in that position as 2 - 4 - 4 - 3. It'd be interesting to see if you could take a set of samples from the user first and apply that to your algorithm. Also useful would be something that purely takes a set of pitches as input, and produces fingerings with the same pitches across various fretted\open strings (and possibly allowing for octave transposition).

This is the problem with "knowledge by web article" in general, isn't it? Blindly following best practices, rather than developing any true understanding of the task at hand.

"With the new versions of ES, my code is more independent from external sources."

What about all of those external sources brought in to support building\transpiling\source map generation\whatever?

This is what I do when working with my own Error types.

Developers can't be trusted to make good decisions about the tools they use either.

npm shrinkwrap

No it doesn't.

Web engineers are waiting for stuff to compile these days? I thought things were supposed to be moving forward, not backward.

What is a "level" of security? If I'm able to inject arbitrary code into your page, with it I can access your local storage data, but I can't access your "http only" cookies - so there's at least some "level" of difference.

Hi HN - I'm working on this more as a project than an actual startup, and would love to get feedback. It's similar to other sites that will grade your resume, except that it's tailored specifically for programmers. Right now it only handles resumes in English. Try it out and see if you learn something useful, thanks!

Hi Hacker News - this is a project I've been working on to see what might happen if you try to extract information from technical resumes. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Those are classifications, but are they definitions? It's still not clear to me that "stability" has much to do with the software performing in a consistent matter. Either way it's a careless choice of wording, I've never encountered anybody who saw the word "unstable" attached to a node.js release and understood that it might refer to the API (see surrounding comments).

I think it means that the API is stable, it's not related to how well the software works.

This sort of "complexity" (DI, ORM, extensive configuration) has existed for a long time, particularly in the Java webapp space.

You don't need a license to release a framework, and a framework doesn't have to be sensical to be adopted.

If you learn the fundamentals of the things you're working with, particularly HTTP, web browsers, the web in general, and your chosen programming languages, things will become much more clear.

Currently using virtual-dom to power my front-end system, but have been waiting for something like this. Can't wait to see how it works in comparison.

You haven't met anyone who can work at all levels of the stack, then. There are engineers with a good grasp of the fundamentals, and know how to apply it across the board.

That's strange, coming from Java.

  static set circlesMade(val) {
    this._count = val;
  };

What's the value of "this" here?

One was killed by Apple.

I think you're confounding the idea of a "dictionary" with the specific data structure of hash map/table. Not all dictionaries are hash maps. There's nothing in the spec that says the dictionary-like properties of an object must be implemented as a hash map. I'm fairly certain that in at least V8 they are not hash maps.
