But it has "protection" in its title! It must be protecting us right...

I work on a team with the same size as yours. Although we do not all sit in the same room, we still do code reviews. Since we are small we are not the most critical on style.

I am a big believer in code reviews especially starting early with a small team. This would set the culture from the beginning because it is harder to bring that in later.

Yes, statically typed languages can help.

However, if you have good test coverage then you can test for that stuff and get a similar experience. For example, if a test break then you know your variable is not a number anymore when you need it to be.

This is pretty cool but sucks living in DC because we do not have equal representation. We just have a shadow representative who only has a vote in committee when democrats have the majority.

The worst part about all of this to me is that most people in the country do not know / do not care that 650,000 people that live in DC do not have fair and equal representation like everyone else. Wyoming has about 70,000 less people for the whole state and they have 2 reps and 1 senator. A little infuriating.

Heard about this and seems like everyone and their mother are signing on. This is one of the reasons why I asked the main question is because I want to fully understand what the business case is for using Docker.

I have not, as I am fairly new to this field but that makes sense in a way if it can minimize the use of other tools to just use the one tool.

Yeah, I looked at the Docker website. I feel that Docker is super good at marketing and wanted to get some other opinions.

>>No one is obliged to give you money. Finding a business model that works is your problem, not your customers.<<

This struck a chord with me and is exactly the reason why Hollywood and the Music Industry are flailing. They are trying to continue their business model that worked for so long into this new day and age. Adapt or die essentially.

Thanks for that link!

Agreed. We don't and shouldn't follow. We should continue with developing currently existing and new technologies to loosen the worlds dependency on oil.

Would definitely like to know this as well. Also, are there any dropped frames over a certain amount of time? Like 5 frames dropped every ten minutes.

I completely agree. I just posted a comment pretty much on these same lines but I guess your comment got there first.

The hate on JavaScript "horse" is past being dead. Maybe we can start a Javascript is ok/has good parts but is here to stay "horse"!?

The post starts off with:

"The JavaScript Problem is two fold: JavaScript sucks, but we need JavaScript."

Can we just got over this JavaScript sucks issue. We get it. There are a lot of people who hate JavaScript but we know the issues so start using JS the proper way.

Yeah that slide is a little confusing because they messed up the second step. JS Facade is supposed to be where Dart Facade is and vice versa.

Also, Angular 2.0 is going to be written in TypeScript (which will be compiled to plain JS) but you can use ES5, ES6, TypeScript or Dart depending on what you want to use for your application.

I think that the Angular team has not decided on two-way data binding yet. They maybe keeping it and I just asked this question on the reddit ama that they are going to do over at the /r/ngconf subreddit.

I agree with you completely. People just want to complain.

I am pretty sure that TypeScript just adds type safety and is optional. I don't see this as a huge negative and I actually see this as a positive.

Just curious, what and why are all your reasons to move away from Angular?

At ng-conf in the opening remarks they talked about how they plan to have people migrate from 1.X to 2.0. From what I understand if you start using the new router in Angular 1.4 then that will be the router for 2.0 which will allow you to use Angular 2.0 with 1.X components as you slowly migrate each 1.X component to 2.0. I think this is pretty reasonable.

AtScript is now TypeScript is what they said in the opening remarks.

Awesome. Sounds good and I look forward to trying it.

This looks interesting and I would love to try it so do you all have any plans of releasing a trial version or giving a trial period?

Your point is spot on for a good senior level person in any field. Being supportive and letting people fail or succeed with positive reinforcement helps move a working environment in a better direction. When that environment is better then you will attract and retain better quality employees. Win-win all around but just depends on how the senior level people and management act and create that environment in the beginning.

Why is this such a big deal? You can turn off the notifications for the #general channel. So why not just turn off the notifications for that channel or use the "Only when mentioned or one of my Highlight Words is used (default)" option?

Just so you know, I am recent graduate from the Fullstack Academy (http://www.fullstackacademy.com/) bootcamp which focuses on the MEAN stack (JavaScript only stack). I did decide to go to a JavaScript focused bootcamp because of the fact that I would be using the same language (JavaScript) on the front end, back end and in the database. I believe this allowed me to help learn the principles of web development better since I did not have to learn anything else like (ruby, python, or php lets say).

So I found it nice that I am using the same language on the front, back and in the database which maybe why there are a lot of people using it.

However, with that being said, I think that there is a lot of "good stuff" happening around the whole web development landscape and not just with JavaScript.

We feel that the pain is not in finding the job posting but applying to the jobs and tracking those applications.
