For someone who really wants to learn CSS from scratch, is it a bad idea that I start learning CSS by using tailwind?

I am mostly a backend dev and trying to learn UI dev since I need it for some side projects.

My developer co-workers and I have talked about teaching our designers how to code with Tailwind. The designers have no experience with writing code, but I still think its a good idea to start with Tailwind because you'll use many of the best practices and avoid a lot of the historic madness in the CSS world.

Depending on how much time and effort you want to invest, learning how something works will always be more useful than learning how to use it.

So cool! Mind sharing what tech you used to build this?

Sure. We used webrtc, websockets and a signalling server which helps in discovering who is available on your local network. However, none of the calls or files ever go through the server.

We want to refine it a bit further before taking it opensource. :)

Was going to update today, I guess I am going to be on my current 10.15.2 for a long time. 10.15.2 is quite stable and runs smooth enough with occasional freezes happening maybe once a month.

Give me time and I'll tell you at the end how much money you need to give me.

Sounds like a good deal if we don't need to pay until you're done!

No need to be difficult, just give me an estimate. Is this going to be a small, medium or large t-shirt size task?

Agreed, take all the time you need.

This is so true. The key to building something that succeeds in the longer term is because you are providing value to the market.

Using shiny/new tech is just complementary, and might even come back to bite you later on.

1. Being a good listener. 2. Patience. 3. Agreeing to disagree, and not taking it personally.

Is building plugins faster/easier than building apps (using Flutter)? Looking to learn flutter so wondering if I should build a plugin or app when going beyond hello world.

Build an app. There are many things in the plugin api that you don’t interact with in the app. The plugin api is the bridge between the front-end and native iOS / Android apis.

Pretty clever wording by Uber here, I'd say. Although does not make sense to me.

This is so unexpected coming from a company like Apple, I am thinking this is Apple's version of April fool's this year.

> and all have offers ranging from 120K to 180K CAD for when we graduate.

I have a lot of friends in the tech industry in Montreal and this does not seem to be true at all.

You maybe top of your class but for recent graduates to earn that kind of money is unheard of.

Saying we are recent graduates is a bit of a stretch (mostly PhDs), my wording could have been better.

I totally agree these salaries don’t represent the local startup scene or even the tech scene.

If you are not looking exclusively at Startups, there is plenty of companies, especially in finance, banking, actuary and insurance, that are looking for talent in AI/Data science and can offer excellent salaries in Montreal.

Working in a (very) corporate environment isn’t for everyone but Montreal is such a nice place, imho the trade off is absolutely worth it.

If you work at code mills then salaries are capped at 90ish. If you work for actual businesses that solve real problems then the salaries are much higher. I know many people in both camps.
