| No Images? Click here  Working Hard/Hardly WorkingWe have job listings now!Hey there! I wanted to let you know about something: Versioning, that friendly daily tech newsletter you’re reading, now comes complete with a place to find your next rockstar/ninja/prize-fighter/other-trendy-job-metaphor. If your company wants to hire someone to do a thing, you can place an ad for that thing in this newsletter and reach 43,000 (and counting) kind web folk. Last time we checked, 48% of you were from the United States, 55% of you work at big companies, and 48% of you were either front-end, back-end, or full-stack devs. Placing an ad is a one-time cost of just $150, and your ad will go in the next Versioning edition. The process should take less than 3 minutes, unless you’re very indecisive about the kind of job you’d like to offer, in which case you should place another job ad for someone who can assist you with tasks like this. Go here [sitepoint] to do that thing. (Also, if you’d like a job - continue reading Versioning and watch out for some good jobs popping up soon!) Off the Beaten PathFront-endFirst up, Critical Path CSS Generator [sitelocity] will automatically generate the critical path CSS for your site - and chuck it into a minified CSS file.

How to conduct a technical interview [alistapart]. JOB: Senior Software Engineer [xero] Running FlatDesign/UX/product10 unexpected sources of design inspiration [sitepoint]. Flat UI elements attract less attention and are more likely to cause uncertainty [nngroup]. Hmm, feels like they’re fairly popular as well. Seems like a problem! Marvel and Dropbox Paper are working really nicely together [marvelapp]. JOB: Senior UX Designer, Product [99designs] Ice to Meet YouNews/businessWant to learn how to hack Siri or Alexa? Step 1: be a dolphin [fastcodesign]. Cryptocurrencies lost 20 per cent of their value in two days [techcrunch]. Tinder’s now the top grossing app on the App Store, thanks to “Tinder Gold”, a new feature that’ll tell you who likes you without you having to swipe [techcrunch]. I’m not going to lie - as a non-single person that doesn’t mean anything to me at all, but good for them! An intro to Michelangelo, Uber’s machine learning platform [eng.uber]. To repair the Essential Phone, the first step is to freeze it [motherboard.vice]. That’s kinda cool, but a bad thing in terms of repairability. Amazon and Apple are in the mix to acquire the James Bond film rights, which expired in 2015 after Spectre,[hollywoodreporter] which I still haven’t seen for some reason.

Maybe this could help with some of that. Tempad [tempad] is a nice little markdown editor app. Finally, woah! Listen to J.R.R Tolkien read the Hobbit [kottke]. I’m more of a Silmarillion guy, but fine, go for it. There's another edition of Versioning. I'm off to find a bunch of helium so I can start hacking people's iPhones. Also, even aside from the hacking thing, helium is kinda hilarious. I'll be back tomorrow, but I didn't think I'd be doing a very good job if I didn't reiterate the whole "find someone for the next job you need to fill from Versioning" thing. Go here, fill out the form, and I'll chuck the ad in the next edition! See ya tomorrow!  Curated by Adam. |
