Here are a couple of recipes that I wrote up to scale and deploy, a microservices web app using @heroku and @npmjs, @nodejs https://t.co/Xp6yfb8SJS …, let me know your thoughts!

Step 1. Build a focused productivity app to solve a specific problem that bloated apps can’t.

Step 2. Build a productivity app that consolidates features of aforementioned focused apps.

Step 3. Repeat until AI takes our jobs.

This guy has won my attention 😂 #recruiting #fails

PS: I know my name is not the most common but come on!

@BoxEng Thanks, I will use this for product issues. In this case though my question was if there is an email address for engineering applications (until your vendor fixes the career site)

[Spyros Giannakakis @spy_gi]

@BoxEng there seems to be an issue with your career site, can't submit an application - see JS console (tried 2 different positions, with cleared cookies as well)

[Spyros Giannakakis @spy_gi]

Is there an email address I could use instead?

@chriscoyier @LeaVerou @manofewords good ol' days..

@peruvianidol Confusing: (in the beginning) the existence of user agent stylesheets, many ways to achieve the same thing. Frustrating: everything looks easy/simple but is freaking hard (esp. before flexbox&grid), inheritance, source order matters (sometimes).

@alexsideris_ Awesome thread (found this via PH), liked the walk-through plus learned a couple of new tools on the way! Keep it up 👊

@zachleat @robweychert A lil' late to the game buuut (breathing deeply) https://t.co/VzzO7KLz98
Still lots to do from adding content, webpack (just to play around) to accessibility and pwa scores (yes, font loading too ;) Thanks to this wonderful thread for the inspiration, so many nice ideas!

@JayHanlon @jonskeet To be precise your exact wording is "Stack Overflow is intended to be an inclusive place where EVERY programmer can participate." (emphasis mine)

[Spyros Giannakakis @spy_gi]

@JayHanlon @jonskeet Doesn't this contrast what Jeff himself is writing here (from the aforementioned thread)? https://t.co/f0ZS0TJvBP … Can you elaborate on what has changed in between?

[Jeff Atwood @codinghorror]

@lmcdo_ @alilynnet @DominicCronin @cristynhoward @Bob_at_BH @aprilwensel @spolsky @StackOverflow an interactive tutorial is a very interesting idea! but bear in mind, the intended audience for SO is not, and has never been, beginners or people just starting to learn to code. I'd recommend https://t.co/HqDaotg4TP, codecademy, khan academy, etc for those folks

Stack Overflow Isn't Very Welcoming. It's Time for That to Change. https://t.co/WE8mtY1ZTW

What stood out for me from @StackOverflow Developer's insights: how fast the imposter syndrome kicks in compared to compassion and connection with peers, that develop more gradually. That and the over 90% of male participants... https://t.co/YQWB54gdv3
