Why didn't you build your own blog out of javscript instead of publishing medium?


$216 for pointing out a bug in software of a multi billion dollar (valuation) software company?yeah, I'll get right on that


genius is based in New York I think, and so is John Resig (at least at lot of the time, he attends JS meetups in New York). He's probably doing them a favor, although the founders of genius are rather obnoxious and John's just the opposite, so it's not whom I'd expect him to help out. Maybe he's going for funding from Horowitz, who also funds genius


Is that posher or just more old fashioned? Serious question.


Hahahah


Thank you, I agree


"Reorgs staff"


Regardless of career prospects title should have been "where do old devs go to die?"


It is dangerous to report bugs

A student in Montreal was expelled after informing the college where he studied that there was a security flaw http://business.financialpost.com/2013/07/17/montreal-studen...


I am glad I went to a university that reacted appropriately. I found a bad issue (students passwords for system that held their ssns, grades, financial info etc was world readable) and got a pat on the back for them. I went through a prominent CS professor instead of directly reporting it though.


I dunno... it appears that he was expelled for some other reason, not the original reporting of the bug?

Post hoc ergo propter hoc.



Is there a specific reason why the author shouldn't? Like a trademark/copyright issue because of the speech or just because it annoys you?


Not speaking for AwesomeTogether, but it's the title of a book:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stay_Hungry_Stay_Foolish

edit: And just to be clear, I don't see where it would be an issue using it in the app, as the title of that book was supposedly inspired by Jobs saying the phrase, who in turn got it from yet another book. Just wondering if the fact that it's a book title is what the issue is.


I'll remove it as soon as I can.


Aren't you curious as to why?


I immediately thought it was something to do with Apple infringement or something, but then I realized I have a Steve Jobs quote on the site already.

I am curious now.


I agree with OP, actually.

There's nothing inherently wrong with it, but my inner writer cringes, since it's a random throwback to Jobs' commencement speech, and it seems a bit out of place (especially in contrast to the previous 3 headings). I tried to come up with something short/powerful/meaningful, but in the couple minutes I've spared I've come up empty handed.

I would recommend finding a different background image for your header, as I think you could find something a bit less noisey. I like back5 with an y-offset of 540, but another stars/galaxy image would be great if you can find one available for free!

BUT. It looks great! I really wish it was available for android. Keep it up, this is a win for you to remember :)
