I'm not a black hat or anything even close to that nature. I just happened to see it and it concerned me greatly. I am really starting to think about running a vps through linode or something.

I realize that it isn't a security breach, but I'm not so comfortable sharing my username with everyone else.

왜 죽어? 누구좋으라고 죽어? 악착같이 살아야지. 힘들면, 마냥 힘들면, 더욱 힘든사람을 찾아서 도와주셔.

Life is only worth living if you stop living for yourself and start living to help another. You are not a coward and you are not stupid to think this way - It sounds serious and I think it best if you seek professional help.

When you feel like a loser, do something good for someone else. It doesn't have to be for strangers or charity-specific.

Call your parents, hell - go see them and take them to a movie on your dime. Buy a video game for your nephew/niece and play with them. Call your friends up and buy a round of beer!

When you stop thinking about "YOUR" achievements and start thinking about others, I'd bet you will feel a whole lot more successful.

If you want a specific class, I would say creative writing.

If you're looking for skills in life, mine is being able to let go. Especially at work.

If you work for someone else, you HAVE to remember that your work needs to satisfy someone else. So throw away your ego, and listen (and pay attention) to criticism. You should never be afraid to speak your mind and take a stance but at the end of the day, you need to be a team player.

Sure, anything can be learned quickly. Problem is the drive to master it.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I agree, I'm just saying that marketing department usually wants to throw as much tactical words at the users as possible.

I don't blame them - they are "for-profit" after all.

Thanks.

I disagree - I think as websites & web applications become more and more complex, we NEED to distinguish the 3 separate discipline: design/client-side/server-side.

Because we can't all be an architect AND a forman/plumber/electrician/roofer. How can you be really good at something if you don't practice and learn it constantly? I'm guessing you've mastered or actively learning HTML/CSS/JS/PERL/PHP/Python/RUBY/Rails/.NET/JAVA/C/C++/MySQL/Casandra/Go/ActionScript/etc? I mean, where do you stop?

Heck, even CSS has SASS/LESS/bootstrap/CSS3/browser-specific declaration and don't even get me started on JS libraries.

And I don't understand your condescending tone of what a "web designer" does. What makes that job any less important than a programmer?

That's the thing - I currently am the design/web guy. But I would rather concentrate on a single area then be the guy who can do it all. Sure, it's nice to know every aspect of development, but I rather be REALLY good at one thing then be average across the border.

With that said, I think it's really our fault that there's really no clear distinction between the front-end (client side) vs. the back-end (server-side.) I've seen senior "front-end developer" who only uses jQuery because he doesn't know JavaScript. And it's funny that you bring up politics, because that guys would get mad at me because I would show him a easier way (in jQuery, mind you) for traversing the DOM.

Sometimes, I wish there's was a certification process to be able to call yourself a "designer", "developer", or "programmer". I think it would make finding job/candidates much easier.

I think it used to. Now I really don't know too many people who uses that term.

It's interesting that you consider yourself a front & backend engineer - does that mean you would apply for both jobs? or Do you concentrate on either?

My conundrum is that employers are actively seeking "Front-End Developers" without understanding what that really means.

I don't know, I feel like that's a antiquated, almost a derogatory term used by people who do not know any languages beyond HTML/CSS.

Thank you for replying. I see that the advertised position require a lot of programing knowledge (not language specific)

So this raises the question again. Are your UI/UX designer considered web designers? or is your front-end developer a web-designer?

How does this: Events, Remote Data, DOM, Object Prototypes, Data Types and Scope, understanding of application side security models, client side app hardening, XSRF, etc.

Apply to the daily function? What is it that the developer is building that he/she is required to know all of this? Aside from DOM, the other skills are more related to dynamic languages like JS or Rails/Python. How is this different then what a back-end developer does?

Also: Help the UI/UX team to create visually attractive and highly usable web interfaces

Shouldn't that be the sole purpose of a UI/UX team?
