I had an interview with a company and submitted a PR to fix up one of their public repos. Will do a few more like this for Hacktoberfest.

Thanks for the article, gave it a bash and it worked as expected. The immediate benefits are not that clear though. The parcel index.html/js example on their site results in a fair bit of pa.js boilerplate. I wonder will parcel also fork into more than one useful dependency to have? Happens often enough with these tools. parcel-bundler requires { " @babel/code-frame ": "^7.0.0 <7.4.0" , " @babel/core ": "^7.0.0 <7.4.0" , " @babel/generator ": "^7.0.0 <7.4.0" , " @babel/parser ": "^7.0.0 <7.4.0" , " @babel/plugin-transform-flow-strip-types ": "^7.0.0 <7.4.0" , " @babel/plugin-transform-modules-commonjs ": "^7.0.0 <7.4.0" , " @babel/plugin-transform-react-jsx ": "^7.0.0 <7.4.0" , " @babel/preset-env ": "^7.0.0 <7.4.0" , " @babel/runtime ": "^7.0.0 <7.4.0" , " @babel/template ": "^7.0.0 <7.4.0" , " @babel/traverse ": "^7.0.0 <7.4.0" , " @babel/types ": "^7.0.0 <7.4.0" , " @iarna/toml ": "^2.2.0" , " @parcel/fs ": "^1.11.0" , " @parcel/logger ": "^1.11.0" , " @parcel/utils ": "^1.11.0" , " @parcel/watcher ": "^1.12.0" , " @parcel/workers ": "^1.11.0" , " ansi-to-html ": "^0.6.4" , " babylon-walk ": "^1.0.2" , " browserslist ": "^4.1.0" , " chalk ": "^2.1.0" , " clone ": "^2.1.1" , " command-exists ": "^1.2.6" , " commander ": "^2.11.0" , " cross-spawn ": "^6.0.4" , " css-modules-loader-core ": "^1.1.0" , " cssnano ": "^4.0.0" , " deasync ": "^0.1.14" , " dotenv ": "^5.0.0" , " dotenv-expand ": "^4.2.0" , " fast-glob ": "^2.2.2" , " filesize ": "^3.6.0" , " get-port ": "^3.2.0" , " htmlnano ": "^0.2.2" , " is-glob ": "^4.0.0" , " is-url ": "^1.2.2" , " js-yaml ": "^3.10.0" , " json5 ": "^1.0.1" , " micromatch ": "^3.0.4" , " mkdirp ": "^0.5.1" , " node-forge ": "^0.7.1" , " node-libs-browser ": "^2.0.0" , " opn ": "^5.1.0" , " postcss ": "^7.0.11" , " postcss-value-parser ": "^3.3.1" , " posthtml ": "^0.11.2" , " posthtml-parser ": "^0.4.0" , " posthtml-render ": "^1.1.3" , " resolve ": "^1.4.0" , " semver ": "^5.4.1" , " serialize-to-js ": "^1.1.1" , " serve-static ": "^1.12.4" , " source-map ": "0.6.1" , " terser ": "^3.7.3" , " v8-compile-cache ": "^2.0.0" , " ws ": "^5.1.1" }

Very useful thank you. (Small typo in the heading "Smple Node Cron Job template")

Too early to tell with MS acquisition of Github. I'd expect them to push VSCode via Github soon and then what else, Teams, .NET etc.?

An even better answer, thanks Adavize.

Thanks Adavize. In your example why is "__outline" an element and not a modifier like "--danger" when both are just modifying the "button" block?

I like using whiteboards in the job so getting people up to a whiteboard in an interview is also something I like. Not to write code though, but to expand and show solutions to problems. Draw diagrams, draw wireframes, draw processes etc.

I won't jump through hoops for a job. The job isn't hoop jumping so why would the interview process be. If they make you jump hoops before you even sign a contract imagine what it will be like once hired. As Anil Dash says there should be "zero gaps between our stated and lived values." (This is from the privilege of an experienced developer in IT. Ideally all jobs would treat candidates properly though.)

Microsoft BASIC quickly followed by Turbo Pascal.

Most of my team has converted to it except the iOS dev (XCode of course) and me (still on native Atom.)
