I totally wouldn't be intimidated. We all just love what we do. The best way to get a job is often to get to know the folks on the team, hack with them on projects. I'd really hate to work at a place that I felt was exclusive.
Oh I didn't mean to imply it was exclusive, just that I'd feel like I was out of my league. Like I've built a few things with D3 but I still find myself getting confused sometimes, and I've gone through some of David Nolen's clojurescript posts / tutorials and I'm still not 100% clear on the advantages of core.async...but then again I don't use them all that often either.
Well, if you ever wanna chat about core.async or PourOver or jobs or life, I'm more than happy to do so: erik.hinton@nytimes.com Nolen's also a great guy and really serious about helping folks out with stuff like core.async. I'm sure he wouldn't mind jumping in an IRC chat to guide you along!
