Couple of anecdotal factoids for you from a career veteran.

#1 The tech industry is small. #2 The circles you move in are smaller.

Keep it professional, keep it simple, and always resign with decorum.

Many others have stated here the purpose of a resignation letter, but I would add that I extend it to verbal too.

Bravo! This is a brilliant idea, and quite well executed. I wish you every success.

Thank you.

The parent makes a solid point, and you're employing this logical fallacy, which is why I am down voting you.:

Nope, but from what I can tell from data analytics such as presented, this doesn't set me apart from anyone else. :-)

Airbnb is targeted at tourism, and passersby. End of discussion. It has zero effect on long-term apartment rental. The only 'disruption' this is causing is to the rip-off merchants in the old-school hospitality industry, who have been gouging tourists since time immemorial.

This kind of nonsense is almost guaranteed to be backed by big business hotel chains.

In response, I will double down on my commitment to spend time in more Airbnbs, and not at hotels.

Completely agree with this. Fortunately there are ways around this for savvy people. But yes. Canadian Netflix is poor, and the price should reflect the diminished offering.

P.P.S. I'd love to see the ability to add myself as a remote worker. I had to choose my closest major city, which doesn't accurately reflect how I work.

Interesting and thought provoking article. I wonder if this could take off as a concept and change the way we define ourselves? I like the concept.

One thing that is lacking however is perhaps an understanding of what job titles are today. I haven't formally been handed a job title in many years, so long in fact that I honestly can't recall which previous employer was the last to grant me a specific pigeon hole at the personnel level. (Yes, I deliberately use the antiquated term for HR to illustrate how long ago this may have been).

In this day and age job titles for me and my peers appear to be ultra concise summaries of what capacity people are most recently working in, as opposed to formally designated titles. Perhaps we're stretching the word title.

Regardless, the fact that these charts better represent the fluid nature of how interests and activities change, this would be a nicer solution. Two thumbs up.

P.S. I say this with no snarkiness, I wish people would proof read articles they publish.

Precisely!

Financial institutions 'caring' about one's credit rating == confidence that one can handle the liabilities they want one to hold. :-)

Additionally, compound interest is why it's so important to not carry debt.

That mortgage your financial advisor wants you to keep? Get rid of it. Over pay principle as much as permitted.

Consumers refer to such things as 'debts' or 'payments', but financial institutions call these 'liabilities'. Financial institutions use the correct word, and don't like to hold them for good reason.

It certainly looks like both parties have desires to reunite with a new understanding of what it means to govern Node.

This would be my wish.

Indeed - right now I'm super excited at how much activity there is in JS-land. It's a lovely time to be a JS hacker. :-)

That being said, I can't help but wonder if a bunch of people who clearly have been working very hard were feeling a bit gutted last week when React Native news hit the street.

Hopefully both offerings will find a following.

This has to be a symbolic gesture, and hopefully one that rewards Cuban Internet interests. Currently, this isn't a viable offering for the average resident. I've travelled around plenty of Cuba, and Internet there will not support streaming media. Think poor dialup speeds from the early 1990s, flakey timeouts, dropped connections constantly, and you're imagining Cuban net access.

I've not sampled the connections available to government officials, but until Cuba gets a huge overhaul (read, installation) of a proper internet infrastructure, and peering to multiple countries, they won't be able to make use of this.

Possibly; I tried to read on a computer.

I have no idea what this article is about nor will I ever, but I encourage any front-end web designer | developer to take a look because this site is a shining example of what not to do.

Upon loading the page I was pretty much instantly distracted from reading the article by two incredibly intrusive boxes taking over the space and blocking me from reading the article.

I closed the tab without hesitation and won't be reading the article.

Take this for what you will, but please note that I'm not being petulant here. This is truly a textbook demonstration of a bad web user experience.

This was the first thing to come to my mind too. That's a lot of people who are going to need re-skilling.

Counter argument, beautifully illustrated.

That's fantastic of you - thank you! I'll take a look later. :-)

Very much appreciated!

Thank you! I checked out your public persona on twitter and GitHub; I love the techs you work with - so now you're my new best friend.

You're right; shipping something complete is the actual goal. I'm loosely defining the word app, and haven't seen how this will manifest entirely yet.

Additionally, I'm allowing myself to port a previous month's app to another language or environment; January was my first exposure to Node.js for example, but maybe later in the year I'll rework it in Go.
