Thanks plasma, but I'm not really looking for a framework to build a plugin at the moment, just what browser I should target first (I'm hoping I can use HTML & Javascript to build it.)

Linting (where you're going wrong) without explaining why (you're going wrong) is one of the most pointless exercises ever.

Maybe too much attention put on aesthetics, less on code (nice start though)

I wouldn't lie about my role in a project. I'd consider that to be different to be honest.

In this particular example, I was looking for reactions for general skills as opposed to to specific roles within a project. My apologies, I should've been clear about that.

Since when has the computer science industry been able to claim higher integrity than any other industry — certainly sounds to me like you, being someone in a position to hire others think highly of yourself? I'd be able to bullshit you simply because I'm able to do what I'd be lying about, but not be able to back it up with a real-world example.

You're probably no better than anyone who hires anyone else... probably on a power-hungry ego trip. Sure you can tell yourself that you can sniff a lier in an interview, but then do you hire shit employees? Probably one or two... and they're bullshitters, don't you know.

I'm not after a lecture in morals and integrity, I want to grasp the general opinions of people who've found themselves needing to perhaps lie in order to get themselves in a better position in life/job.

Yeah, you're totally right. Except about missing the point.

Also, if anything, considering this, I regard myself to have a high integrity because I'm in a dilemma as to whether to lie or not. At least I'm asking for opinions...

I can understand if I was caught out. I have had experience (but no real-world experience) in ecommerce.

I'd be able to answer all your questions, deliver results, learn anything I didn't know in a few days.

Would it be that bad in this case?

I would've thought it actually came down to how much you lied. But regarding the question that was given out there...

Yeah, I've considered lying, but not necessarily to deceive. I'd be up to date with all necessary API's within less than a week, but my point is that because I've not had any real-world experience, would it be bad to say a white lie in an industry that relies so massively on past-experience?

And has anyone else lied? Or am I the only one who would consider lying about something small in order to achieve something better?
