I'm mostly a front-end web developer but willing to learn more.

Very interesting, people have gotten in the habit of hitting the like button because of Facebook (and other social networks have added a version of their own).

As the author of the article says

> When you are writing in the absence of feedback you have to rely on your own judgment. You want to please your audience, of course. But to do that you have to imagine what your audience will like, and since that’s hard, you end up leaning on what you like.

I think if the like button was removed people would engage in conversation, for example if I saw something on Twitter and I liked it and there wasn't a like button I would reply and engage with conversation with the person who posted it.

I really do wonder what would happen if there was no like button anywhere on the web.

I currently help companies redesign their WordPress website and I'm looking for a full-time job doing the same thing or something similar to front-end web developer.
