_mayo··on Leaving LinkedIn
This is not entirely true. These articles are referring to the mobile services. The majority of LIs services are built in Java (with some Node, Python, Scala sprinkled in).

Here's a write up from the LI engineering blog briefly detailing a history of their architecture (up to 2015): https://engineering.linkedin.com/architecture/brief-history-...

_mayo··on Show HN: Essential React, a minimal skeleton for building React apps using ES6
What benefit does "logic driven inline styles" over using style sheets buy you? That seems unmaintainable for a large project.

irony?
_mayo··on Ask HN: Current best practice for drag-and-drop?
The bulletproof way would probably be to use a library to handle drag and drop. If you're not wanting to use jQuery UI just for DnD functionality, there are a couple libraries that do drag and drop exclusively.

_mayo··on Amazon Local Register
Wouldn't that be considered fraud? Since you'd be defrauding Amex (genuinely curious).
_mayo··on Ask HN: Which podcasts do you listen to/watch?
If you're in to the history of Apple's software or Apple development in general, I can't recommend debug[0] enough.

_mayo··on Ask HN: What's the best place in the U.S. to live and work cheaply?
Columbus, Ohio. It very much is a big city with a small town feel. You can get a place in or around the city for less that $1k easily. We have a thriving art and music scene, a couple professional sports teams (NHL & MLS). We have the third largest university campus in the US (OSU) so they're a lot of young, smart people around. We may not have the largest startup scene, but it's definitely growing with people doing interesting things.

_mayo··on Show HN: Collections, a fast multiple-account Google Docs client for Mac

_mayo··on Startups that TechCrunch missed out on
OpenEra.net looks like it could be a killer service, especially if they can integrate with more services (Google Drive, Skydrive, UbuntuOne, etc.)
