pjmo··on The Career Path I Didn’t Consider, But Should Have
I completely agree! One of the worst reading experiences I've ever encountered.
pjmo··on Git Cheatsheet
Awesome, thanks!
pjmo··on Are We Suffering From Mobile App Burnout?
Yup, the paywall has gotten stronger and will probably be getting even more upgrades. And they know all the tricks.

Once you start paying, you realize how much great content is on there. Well worth it.

pjmo··on Ditching responsive design
I don't agree with those reasons at all. It looks like they tried to build their mobile site by just downsizing their desktop site instead of going mobile-first. And yea, not everything is easy and stuff may take a bit longer, but next time and the time again you get faster and faster.

Doesn't seem like that innovative of a company with a post like that.

pjmo··on Snow Fall: The Avalanche at Tunnel Creek
That is a great point. It would almost be fun to learn in this type of way.
pjmo··on Web Design Trends
Nice bucket, I'm a big fan of flat design. The guys from layervault put up a good post recently http://layervault.tumblr.com/post/32267022219/flat-interface...
pjmo··on HTML5 Boilerplate v4.0.0
Very nice, will have to check this out for the project I'm starting today. Sick of using Bootstrap to demo when I usually change everything. Just need some boilerplate instead.
pjmo··on PG: The Art of Funding a Startup is now free on Amazon
I just got it, but would never actually pay to read an interview.
pjmo··on “Growth Hacking” is BS
Everyone in digital media trying to have you click an ad is practically a "growth hacker"
pjmo··on Show HN: shortcutFoo is an effective way to learn shortcuts (Vim, TextMate, etc)
I just used it a bit, and didn't really enjoy it too much. It's more of a way to test whether or not you know them, rather than teach you the shortcuts. I'm in the process of trying to learn more shortcuts, so I thought this would've been helpful, but there's a lot more refinement needed.
pjmo··on A 29-year-old on the difficulties of landing a first job
I think what we are seeing over and over again as articles similar to this run in papers all over (HuffPo, NYT, WaPo) is this point: Most young people are bad at searching for jobs! Just like we're bad at dating, we're are bad at job searching. Obviously not everyone is bad, but a large majority of people who are unemployed or underemployed do not have a system in place that makes there job search efficient or effective. I'm currently working on addressing this problem, so hopefully stories like this can stop.
pjmo··on No, I won't be your technical co-founder
Basically this boils down to: If you're looking for a technical co-founder to complement your skills, make sure you have built trust with someone, have done your research, and understand why your building something. So pretty much like every other position.
pjmo··on Be yourself. Abnormal people create abnormal returns.
People make themselves unique through their work and vision. Not solely through their external appearance.
