Bootstrap has better structure then most other UI frameworks, but is built around the fact that you will eventually change the css and images to create your own style. Some of bootstraps styles are pretty limited and bland.
Then there is materializecss that visually is more appealing then bootstap. The color palet alone is enough to consider it, especially if you want to build a flat minimal site. It's also ready to be your full UI experience, but lacks the amount of javascript plug-ins that bootstrap and it's community have built for it(i.e. carousels, popups and some other goodies).
I've never used getskeleton, but its also not necessarily the end all UI solution and is considered a starting point.
Here is a vlog site I built with ROR and materializecss to give you an idea.
Tidal is failing for many reasons. The psychology behind being told this was what we were getting instead of finding it for ourselves. Tidal was marketed more so to artists then the consumer. The original idea was to have the money go back to the artists instead streaming apps trying to pay the artists as little as possible. Not a great selling point being told to pay more just cause. Especially when other services offer a better service.
Second, niche is too small. The majority of bulk music buyers are between 17- 25 years of age. High fidelity audio and videos isn't top priority especially when itunes or downloading a YouTube videos audio is an option.
Competition too great Spotify is at 100 million downloads on android alone. Also Apple music and Google play come built in to the smart device and is already integrated with your existing music.
Tidal wanted to get big too fast. All successful apps started with slow growth. They learned their user base, adjusted to widen the types of users in that base, grew a healthy back bone over a period of time to establish a strong infrastructure. Im pretty sure that Jay-Z just hired some contract developers to build this app, upload it and build a simple hosted solution. The app is experiencing growth pains. Its like a small 5 table restaurant trying to to seat customers like it's a 100 table restaurant.
Also I support the "Tidal being dead statement", since Jay-Z couldn't make a deal with Sony for licensing. He will have to remove a lot of artists from his catalog. Mind you a majority of them being "founders"...
Recruiters are probably the worst thing on the planet. Because besides interviewing with them, giving them all your info, you still have to do all the communication with the company. I recommend this, recruiters are kind of an evil you have to live with. So allow yourself one recruiting company that has a good bearing in the area. I.e. you meet them in an office that they own and not at a star bucks because it's a one man show.
Then uses sites like indeed.com, venturefizz.com, or apply directly to the company. Use hired.com if you got a nice fancy resume for them to show off, but avoid it if you are strictly entry level.
The troublesome part is that only recruiting companies can get you in to startups that are still in stealth mode or too small to hire someone just for recruiting and hr.
Those accounts have lawyers and financial experts crossing all the t's and dotting every i. If you were going to automate this then your servers would need to be hosted somewhere in Panama since they are using Panama law to build these shell companies.
Then hire a team of Panama lawyers to file the documents and financial experts to manage the money that is being "hidden".
I believe the only thing you could do to automate the process is build a site like rocketlawyer.com and have people file it that way and then follow up a consultation call to walk them through the rest of the process.
Look for venture cafes in your area. Wework usually hosts one. They have some days where they interview potential companies to put them in front of VCs and Angel investors.
I'm going to do nothing. Going to Canada isn't really beneficial to me. Starting over is pointless. But I do highly recommend starting a business. If Trump wins I can guarantee that he is changing laws in favor of his business practices. Follow his money and have a business copying his moves.
In my experience while faking it to make it (not saying you'really faking it). I find that breaking in to the development side from the systems side is not impossible.
My advice if it is worth to you at all. I only have 5 years in total. This is all without a college degree and just a certificate in networking technologies.
1. Start a github and blog site showcasing your advanced firmware and kernel development skills and "fun" projects
2. Document every last detail of your work in your read me or blog post (companies love that you can document, especially if it's a long term use case)
3. Google interview questions about the field you are looking to get into and make a project that solves that question
4. What you are looking to get into could be in embedded systems engineering or firmware engineering
As of 22 days ago SanDisk is hiring so the need is there. Just apply, most hiring managers say they want 5+ years but that is to scare off the non-skilled applicants.
Hmm interesting. But speed reading isn't just less eye movement while reading line by line. It's using your peripheralife vision to read longer chunks of words line by line. Like when driving you see a sign and just know what you saw without slowly reading it. Idk if I agree with this 100%.
I previously left a company that I thought was great until I realized they just wanted cheap work and a moldable individual for both emotion and creativity.
I too just got out of college and tried to find my first job out of school and took the first offer. These are the signs that I picked up on.
- Arrived to interview to find that what I applied for was not what I was interviewing for ... RUN!
- When trying to get a straight answer about benefits or how long individual training may be and getting a lot of "I'll get back to you" and no one does... RUN
- When waiting for your interviewers and recruitment has to come in and ask you if you have already spoken to your interviewers (i.e. their late or no show) ... RUN either they are way to up their own ass or just terrible at time management which if it's your future boss means they will have no time for you
- Last one promise, when interviewing and you get asked questions that you know the answer you gave to be 100% and they say it's wrong and tell you an answer that isn't correct. Run!
That interviewer or interviewers indirectly just told you that they dont follow or are going against what the documentation stateted.(in my case how elasticsearch is configured)
I.e. you will work in an environment that will leave you with knowledge that is incorrect and useless to use in another interview.
After reading this I get the understanding that in my life if I am to start a company and being a programmer that I will inevitably have to let go of being a programmer and focus on being solely a leader. This never is a thought that I never even fathomed.
