The Truth - Mini Radio shows. Highly underrated. http://thetruthpodcast.com/Archives.html

I've worked for people that believe this, and others that don't. Nothing builds morale and loyalty like rolling up your sleeves and doing the hard stuff with your employees.

I once had a project manager who couldn't write a lick of code, but whenever a deadline approached or something blew up, he'd be right there at 10pm with everyone else bringing in fresh pizza, testing whatever he could, and giving pep talks. Contrast this with someone that says, "get this done by tomorrow, OK?" and then walks out the door. Who do you think is going to have a higher performing team in the long run?

Seriously though, I agree there are practical uses for this - such as TV input or some sort of touchless kiosk (in a hospital maybe?). The video just did a poor job of showing what's what.

For front-end experts, this is a pretty egregious oversight.

"Ever notice how small flourishes and subtle transitions dramatically increases the value of the experience you enjoy with an app or site?"

I agree that a very slight fade or slide can help reduce the jarring effect of a contextual transition (such as the appearance of a modal, or a menu), but what value is added by the not-so-subtle effects like the 3D transforms (that incidentally cripple mobile devices and older browsers)?

Your most important asset right now is time. It looks like you have the desire, so all you need is time to read books and practice. And then practice some more. And then keep practicing.

I've enjoyed this website tremendously: http://codingforinterviews.com/

Every couple weeks you get an email packed with sample interview questions, advice, and practice problems. Go sign up for it. (I am not affiliated with it in any way, just a fan).

Also, for Javascript, one of the most useful/difficult topics I've struggled with is Regular Expressions. Take a look at http://regex.learncodethehardway.org/book/ if you haven't already.

Also, they spam out 50% off coupons for ebooks every week.

Also, 25 hours per week? My wife is a physician. Nobody at her hospital works less than 60. Most work 80 or more. Surgeons are close to 100. For many full time primary care physicians, it works out to about $10 / hour when first starting out.

Anyway, I agree it's pretty generic 'blanket' advice - for me, a 32 yr old. Pretty wise words for a college grad, though, whose audience is probably more his underclassmen than me.
