Better yet - Google Maps should change the directions when someone is navigating to an Amazon office to end up at a sewage treatment plant instead

I think the most important thing is to keep learning. Expand your skills, try/work on a lot of different projects (because bigger companies usually have dozens or hundreds of different products, teams, and roles), which means you can probably find an interesting problem and learn new things. Pick the brains of the more experienced engineers. Be curious. Don't really know how something works? Ask and learn! Meeting people and network. Who knows, maybe they'll be a cofounder with you or be apart of your team at your startup in the future. Work on side projects and expand your interests! You usually have the time to work on side projects or explore interesting problems. I think it's important to do them, experiment with different ideas. Don't have ideas? Keep a notepad with the problems you face everyday. Discuss your side projects and ideas with your peers/coworkers. Most startups usually come from a side project

Reminds me of Unheap http://www.unheap.com/ But I like it how a majority of the plugins here do not use javascript where as Unheap are all jQuery plugins

Re:Dragdis – Drag and drop anything anywhere on Friday March 21, 2014 @12:32PM (#7443211)
The landing page is very confusing. I didn't want to watch the video or register just yet, so I spent a good 5 mins trying to drag the buttons on the page, expecting it to be a demo. Didn't work, thought the demo was either broken or it didn't work with my browser. Almost left and gave up before reading the comments here and decided to register and give it a try
Re:Nanobar.js – Lightweight progress bars on Tuesday March 11, 2014 @02:39AM (#7377800)
NProgress.js natively requires jQuery (1.8+). If you don't want to use jQuery as a dependency, there's a PR on github that uses CSS instead https://github.com/rstacruz/nprogress/pull/28

I think you should contact ACLU and work with them to sue the officers/department. obviously your rights were violated (they didn't even read the Miranda warning)
Re:React: Finally, a great server/client web stack on Friday January 24, 2014 @01:25PM (#7116454)
I think the biggest reason to use React is how it handles the DOM. In most framework views, DOM access is slow and can be a bottleneck. React addresses that problem by using a virtual DOM. In order to make a change to the real DOM, React computes a diff between the newly virtual DOM and the previously computed virtual DOM, and then it applies the diff to the real DOM. The triggering to the virtual DOM computation is done explicitly, hence React has a lot better DOM rendering performances. Everything you can do in React, you can do with other frameworks (Angular's directives and isolated scopes for example), but React is a lot faster and easier to learn, and definitely worth looking into.
