I've been using GSAP on and off since the Flash days. I really appreciate the dedication to their product and the effort they pour into not only keeping it competitive and relevant, but also the helpful community forums they've maintained all these years. Congrats on v3 GSAP team!
Wow, thanks so much! All the way back from the Flash days, huh? Excellent. We love hearing that. We'll keep pressing to make it better, even after a decade. Version 3 is definitely the best ever.
I've been using DDG as my primary search for about 2 years now, it rarely ever falls short for me. When it does, it's usually related to some type of image search I'm doing, I think google still has nicer tools for that.

I think one failure point of this thought process is that popup practices don't relate to the content or why the User clicked on the article to begin with. Popups that cover/interrupt the content aren't necessary and shouldn't be a "match" indicator for your company. Unless you're in the business of selling "annoying" products and you need people who are tolerant of that or enjoy being annoyed.
After considering your comment, I still think my original point stands. Instead of thinking about the product being sold, think of it like qualifying a lead based on their receptiveness to your advertising.
It would need to be tested whether that would be more highly correlated with conversions / profits, but I'd probably consider someone who is receptive to my advertising as a higher priority lead than someone who is interested primarily in my content.
Thanks for the work! At the very least this allows me to consolidate a multitude of bookmarks I struggle to keep organized.
As someone who will probably be visiting this resource a lot, I think it would be helpful if a User could navigate to each section from the initial scene. I feel like scenes one and two can be merged in to a more valuable experience from the start.
I love how critical everyone is being of this site, despite the fact this organization has saved us all so much effort and time during our careers.
I'm easily willing to forgive a few browser compatibility bugs considering what they've done for the Web. I'm also happy they've updated their site, it was a long time coming and I think it looks great, certainly an improvement in my eyes.
What exactly did they "do to the web", that other JS frameworks do not provide? Because I could name few things like requirejs/cometd that came from for example dojo foundation (dojotoolkit), that did influence the way people work with javascript.
For one, their documentation has consistently been accessible to beginners. Other frameworks might have had some crossover functionality, but Jq wrapped it all up in a neat, concise, package complete with a supportive community and excellent documentation that takes away the intimidation for new entrants.
Anyone who has written an 'Ajax' connection call in JavaScript can attest to the relief it has brought on that front alone.
DOM manipulation within your scripts, without having to patch together different libraries in an unreadable mess is nice too.
I've done limited things with the tool, and I can see its benefits clearly - maybe because I see the tool as a curated forest, where those packages you mentioned are like scattered, but awesome in their own right, trees.
Forgive me for the short response, I'm on a phone.
The only thing I noticed that was weird is the search box seems to have different behavior between the instant results and the results you receive when you hit <enter>. Not sure if this is intended, but the instant results seem to be limited to whatever categorical scope you're in.
I agree. A small period of time with a great employee can completely change a company. I don't think past employment length is in any way an accurate indicator of the value an employee can bring. Unless your company objective is "hire someone who will sit in this chair for 4 years, guaranteed".
I found your list to be spot on. I certainly have my weaknesses from that list, but I'm familiar with everything you mentioned. I've been making Websites for around eight years, but really only the past four have I considered myself a front-end dev.
It seems like every month there's a new fron-end trend that needs to be experimented with and learned. It gets a little daunting at times (hard to find the time, really) so I'm glad effort is being put in to lists like yours. I think it would be invaluable to a beginner.
