This assumes you do no work outside of that slim vertical, experimenting with different languages for others sorts of projects, etc.

But sure, if that is your life, or your very strict work life, I guess it can work fine. Would never be able to work for me since I tinker with so much random shit.

You probably wouldn't do that sort of processing constantly on device. Battery intensive

Well, perhaps the people who don't care to investigate just aren't a target of this library at the moment.

there's a difference between hiring a team offshore, that stays offshore, and hiring h1b developers to move here. The first is global economy, the second can be detrimental to keeping jobs within america, especially when we actually do have many perfectly fine and able engineers losing their jobs simply because others are willing to work for half of their pay.

The H1-B abuse the OP is talking about has nothing to do with hiring better people from other countries, I don't think many people argue that - the problem is just trying to replace perfectly fine engineering teams which live here with cheaper engineering teams. And we're not talking the difference between $150k developer who is from the US and a $130k one that is brought in from elsewhere, we're talking about being able to pay WAY under market, perhaps even half market rates - that's the issue.

170-200 is not normal for mid level when average is 150 despite what people like about.

We are way past a time of loyalty amongst employees. Not worth a company's time and money to do this for someone that may / may not be around after. And locking someone in because of it just leaves a bad taste in the employees mouth.

Come on, this is clickbait as it can be with the title and the first line of the article, that's what I hate.

Standing desk doesn't mean you stand for 8 hours a day. And standing for 2-4 iirc is perfectly fine. Nothing wrong with standing for short periods of time and breaking up the standing with sitting. Some people, like me, also enjoy the standing portions. Being in different positions literally gives me different perspectives on problems at times that I'm feeling lethargic / uninterested and helps me (personally) work better.

You do you, I'm glad it works, but sit/standing can be done healthily too.

I fully support this comment, and have been doubling-down for a while on the notion that people who come out of hacker schools and "do well" just had a knack for it in the first place.

We have been looking for a very entry-level dev to be in a pretty entry level role that would be perfect for someone to get their feet wet in the industry.

Every single person we've interviewed from a "hacker school" has been from Hack Reactor. I'd say something like 40% of them would actually be able to be some sort of "developer" given that they keep up the practice. About 20% (at best) are what I would consider an actual "entry level dev intern"

Entry level in this context is basically just the ability to code some basic html, css, javascript, with a computer given to you, and a task to work on over the course of a day. Many of the previous Hack Reactor students we had interview (at least 60%) (some even being "assistants"), in my opinion, have no business in software development. They were technical enough to understand "web dev" in conversation, but just couldn't manifest that into anything useful without huge amounts of guidance for menial tasks.

Telling them to fuck off seems far far farrrrr from the truth. Moxie's points seem pretty fair all around.

I urge people to read through these comments in the github issue yourselves versus believe the commenter here at face value.

By native, do you mean uses native elements, or simply loads things in a webview? I don't know how many people consider that truly native if that's the case.

No. The team was repurposed, not really Firefox OS though. Have got some insider knowledge on this one.

I mean come on. Firefox OS on embedded devices, the thing could barely run on cheap smartphones.
