Oh. Is it like Heroku? I'm new to these cloud services, please bear with me.

Would you recommend this to a beginner-intermediate coder? I have intermediate experience with HTML and CSS, which I write manually.

Yes!! vim ftw!

I'm torn between Gilfoyle and Jared (OJ). Gilfoyle is a total badass whereas OJ is... he's OJ! (read this: http://www.buzzfeed.com/davids4ca892eac/14-reasons-everyone-loves-jared-dunn-from-hbos-s-16z4a?utm_term=.mt78PezMz#.usEkN84n4 ).

Bookmarked!

First off, welcome to the open source community! To start contributing, I would suggest that you find a project that seems useful to you and which you can use on a daily basis. Good projects usually have a 'CONTRIBUTING' document you can read and figure out how to start contributing. A contribution can be as simple as correcting a typo or as complex as finding a bug that would crash the entire system in certain conditions! It can seem intimidating at first but maintainers are usually swell guys/gals. When in doubt, just shoot them an e-mail. Good Luck!

I agree with point 4 completely. I recently had a little hassle with my .gitignore files not working. Commit as much as possible; great advice.

The CodePen link redirects to a 404! :-D It looks cool though. Any other places I can see it?

Thanks! I was just looking for more info on Babel and ES2015. Any other suggestions?

Okay. So, I have some packages (babel-cli, babelify, etc.) installed globally. Can I avoid re-downloading those when I need to use them for a project? Do I just "require" them?
