How exactly do you find clients as a consultant? I'm facing a similar issue now, and the networks I used to rely on for clients have all gone downhill recently.

First part of your story reminded me of when I once trolled a non-tech savvy friend by running Windows in a VM on Linux, and told him "have you ever seen what's behind windows?" then I exited full screen to reveal a desktop full of terminals running the matrix digital rain.

It was fairly easy to communicate between frames with JavaScript, so before this was widely adopted, I remember the way we used to “fetch” new data was with an iframe that always had a meta refresh tag in it, and the server response would include JavaScript that would call into functions from the main window passing along any data that was needed.

I might be wrong, but I think even early versions of Gmail did something similar.

We’ve come almost full circle. I remember using this approach back in 2005 or 2006 by intercepting clicks and appending a parameter that just returned rendered html partials that just .innerHTML replace the main contents.

I'm not sure where you got that info from, but unless you completely tank everything, there isn't an automatic disqualification. Even if you fail two out of three questions, you'll still get a chance to meet with the screener.

My anecdote is that once I was traveling on the 401 and stopped at an ONroute to grab a coffee. The line was extremely long and not moving at all, I had time to download the app, register, place an order, see it print out at the register and someone took it an made my coffee before the line even moved. I just quit the line, moved to the empty section where the mobile orders are and picked up the coffee as I was deleting the app.

I've been struggling with a DNS downtime at Mediatemple all day. Is there a possible more global DNS issue?

except that w-24 is not 24px. It's 24 units of whatever your design grid says, so now you can use a design language to describe your layouts instead of absolute dimensions

You are the one who jail-breaks the phone, but now third party apps you install can have much more unprotected access and you cannot be certain what they are doing behind your back.

> ... Tailwind because you practically don't have to write any CSS.

Only until you want to apply a hover style change on a child element (ie: make that svg icon change color when you hover on the a tag that wraps it) and you discover that you need to write that css yourself.
