Great article, thanks for sharing this. I have a question: how would you tell your so to "move on" after you are gone? Was this even brought up ? I'd imagine this to be a very difficult, yet necessary conversation to have.

Sorry for being off-topic / ranting, but why do sites feel the need to hijack scrolling behaviour? Is it me or does this make following the text much more difficult? Instantly threw me off reading the rest of the text...

I love Go. It helped me so much, not only career wise but also on a more personal level, bringing back the excitement in programming I missed so dearly from my early days. Drop by at one of our Golang meetups if you're in the Munich area. http://www.meetup.com/Munich-Gophers-Go-User-Group/

Münchner cops are the best. I was hit by a police car on my way home from work earlier this year (not my fault). Instead of calling the ambulance the guy spent 15min on police radio, he looked scared as shit. Eventually, an elderly lady that witnessed the whole thing called the ambulance and I was taken to the hospital. I'm just glad I wasn't seriously injured, still I had to wear crutches for a few weeks which was extremely annoying.

Made for a fun punchline when explaining the "bus factor" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_factor at a talk I gave at a company conference later on.

The best frontend developers I know are those that actually stick to frontend development. Imho its one of the most frustrating job in the field yet underappreciated and looked down upon.

Yes. This was the post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4994554. Wrote them an email, was hired a week later and still work there.

Watching Minority Report the other day, this reminds me of the automated retina scans in the movie. Really creeped me out when Tom Cruise was walking through a mall, gets picked up by the scanners and they start shooting targeted advertising at him.

This is cool! Another interesting project I came across is workeer.de, which is a job board for refugees. It's interesting because refugees in Germany do not have a work permit. Great way to help people with technology.

I was pleasantly surprised about the quality of the WIFI Lufthansa provides on its transatlantic flights (FlyNet). It's rather expensive at 9 € / hour, though.

Interesting, thanks for sharing! I agree that the shared folder situation is catastrophic. Doing anything significant with the mounted folders, like doing builds or simply watching for changes is unbearably slow. What I generally do is have a 'rsync' container and attach its volume (--volumes-from) to all containers that depend on the folders. Then, I watch on local file changes and rsync to the container. Builds etc. are all done within containers and this seems to work great!

Nothing beats segment.com imho. Their API's, SDK 's and documentation are superb.

Would be cool if the examples showcased fetching a list of URL's in parallel or something else that is a bit more complex.

I fully support google on this. What use is your great content if I have to pinch and zoom to actually read it ? It's not hard to make your content responsive to the viewers screen size.

I've read that facebook implemented flexbox-like layouting in javascript to use with react native. I wonder how much the two implementations differ.

If your site does not have a single static or template file, this is true. I agree that the binary is nice but scping it to the server and calling it a day still doesn't work.

STYLIGHT - Munich, Germany - Full time - Frontend / Backend

http://www.stylight.com/Jobs/

At STYLIGHT we try to change how people discover and shop fashion. We curate both products and user generated content to inspire people when shopping fashion.

My team has launched a new product in 2015 and we're still in the early stages - I'm looking for some passionate people to join our ranks and shape this product. We use a wide array of different technologies including Go, Java, Angular, Elastic Search.

Frontend Developer

- Write modular, scalable and testable Javascript, HTML and CSS. Provide our users with an outstanding responsive experience on every device.

- Identify and address performance bottlenecks.

- Work closely together with other developers, the product owner and designers.

Backend Developer

- You have mastered one programming language, preferably Java or Go

- know at least one scripting language (python, javascript)

- Ideally experience with solr / elastic search

- You have a good understanding of system design, data structures and algorithms.

Email is in my profile. I was hired about 2 years ago through this thread. :)

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html#... - to make clients 'stick' to upstreams, if you're using nginx.

I don't know, it still feels alien to get a response from the server w/ an incomplete page and then wait for it to be completely rendered. https://groups.google.com is s a good example of this.

I really enjoyed watching the movie. Always amazes me how dedicated some people like Robert Zubrin are towards their goals.

We use docker at stylight for deploying our frontend app (wildfly). We use the docker hub for storing images. When we do a release we basically push to the hub, pull on all upstreams and restart the containers with the new image. We have a base application image (containing java, wildfly etc.) which basically never changes so builds and distribution are super fast. We really like the fact that the containers are isolated! We ran into an issue the other day where we wanted to dump the heap of the JVM to debug some memory leak issue, this should be easier with 1.3!

Are you under 25 by any chance ? Last year they gave out some free tickets for 'coders under 25' and 'women coders'. It's a cool event (love the food summit) and seeing Richard Stallman was pretty exciting.

Congrats! Just wanted to take the chance to say 'thank you' for gridster!

Munich, Germany STYLIGHT

> Appartment rental agencies cost roughly 3 times the monthly rent, which accounts for around 2000€. No need to say this was a no go for me as I prefer keeping that money and making something good out of it.

As far as I know this fee will soon have to be paid by the landlord rather than the potential tenant (by german law).

AFAIK the docker registry is built on top of Flask.

Black cars have all vanished from the map while 'pop' seems to be operating just fine, at least I can see several cars in my area (Munich).

I normally setup a 'watch' task including livereload (grunt[0] / gulp[1]), coffee > js compile, jshint. For prototypes, I use yeoman [2] to bootstrap my application and for generators.
