Were you interviewing for one of the Core developer teams (the ones actually building Toptal), or for Toptal to work as a freelance developer (to work on Client projects)?
Toptal has a lot of open (internal) positions and their interview process is different than when applying to work on Toptal as a freelancer. Everyone on the Core development team is remote.
What problem are you trying to solve? Are you building a basic todo app or a massive CRM tool? Are you more concerned with performance or speed of development?
Definitely, and some reviewers went as far to say that you can just buy the SP4 TypeCover and keep on using your SP3. Didn't work out well for me though, my SP3 was buggy as hell (wifi issues, couldn't wake up from sleep etc).
Just wanted to say a big thank you to Evan and the whole team behind Vue, you made front-end development so much more fun :) And the whole Vue community is one of the nicest I have ever seen.
Having worked with Angular and React before, moving to Vue was a breeze. The franework is very intuitive, the documentation is great and the community is very welcoming and supportive. Vue had the CLI tool before React came out with their counterpart (and I still find the Vue version superior). You also have an official Vue version of Redux, and the Vue Router that doesn't completely change every 2 weeks. API compatibility is also better than Angular 1 vs Angular 2. That said, I checked Vue 2.0 docs last week and they seemed a bit less intuitive as the 1.x version, but it may have been just a WIP.
A lot of home users have already moved to laptops, but not all. People who are into gaming will continue using desktops, along with all sorts of professionals (designers and so on). I am talking about proper desktops, towers with big motherboards, graphics cards and so on. These machines aren’t going anywhere yet, there is simply no substitute. Most people I know still use desktops in their home offices.
Croat here: This is BS. They canceled peoples phone & other commodity debt. This is basically rewarding people for being financially irresponsible. I could have easily taken 5 phones on 2 year contracts, decided not to pay and gotten that written off with this law.
It looks cool, but that round switch isn't as useful as it seems. It would've been better if they simply put three buttons up there - switching between devices would be easier (push of a button instead having to move your hand to the far left and turn a knob) and faster (switching from device 3 to device 1).
While we understand sarcasm, we should give credit to Jon.
Developing a great editor such as ST is a task big teams would have a hard time pulling off, let alone a single developer who is, BTW, running all aspects of the company.
So, sit back and shut up, ST2 works great, ST3 works great. You don't need an update every day just for the sake of being updated.
One-click Rails setup. Ideally, I would sign up for the service, select a VPS size, "create" a new app (using your built-in web panel) and deploy from my terminal. When creating a new app I could select the Ruby and Rails size, DB etc. Basically, a very convenient Rails VPS host.
How does this differ from Heroku? Pricing, hopefully.
This! While it sounds weird, moving to another city and getting a fresh start got me out of my dark period (broke up with GF after 7 years, failed startup, completely broke).
OK, what the actual fk? I register as a programmer and then a page shows up saying "Thank you for registering, now please EMAIL us your info - and we'll get back in touch". Fail on so many levels.
Sketch Mirror, the app that let's you mirror the contents from Sketch (Mac) is iOS only, so in that sense you're limited to Apple devices. However, you can use Sketch to design anything from apps (desktop, mobile, web), websites to PDFs to PPT presentations.
OK, on the topic of funding charities, an old idea that I haven't gotten around to yet: A JS plugin that companies (or regular folks) put on their blogs, which generates a downloadable PDF of the article people are reading, but have to pay $1 to download.
Doing something properly requires time for preparation. Posting ideas on Sunday is actually a good idea as people have 5-6 days to calm down from the rush of adrenaline (OMG this idea is THE BEST IDEA EVER!), get some research done, prepare the time (some folks have family and need to micromanage their time) and finally do some work next Sunday.
Regarding 2) Weekend hacker (http://www.weekendhacker.net) used to be a cool little email list with side projects people needed help with. Maybe expand your idea to something like WH?
I'll definitely ddocument everything from now on, but my 6-month plan is to leave. I'm the second most experienced person in the company and don't feel like working for an entry-level pay.
