Same here. I've been using reddit primarily as a search engine for the last two years. It's a good supplement to filter out the bs.


When I recently asked my grandfather about his browser preference, he said Yahoo. I came to realize that he believes Yahoo IS the web; it's his start page on IE.


No, IE is what he uses for the internet. His browser is Yahoo.


I'm also getting started. Is the MDN a good place to start?

I have personally found their tutorials and HTML docs to be very useful.


Yes!

I think I made is to minus 15 with a friend. I might start again...

I don't think the youtube videos add enough to justify the clutter. I'd rather have more text details/stats on the initial job descriptions.


Thanks Moya. What types of detail and stats would you like to see?

Appreciate the feedback and keep it coming!


I'd like to see figures like average salary, number of listings, and a succinct description of the role. Maybe even something in the same vein as the "Company Perks" on the individual company pages.


If the search results had videos explaining what you'd do in the role, would you find that helpful? Thanks again mate!


I think the role explanations should be clearly expressed in text on the site. I'm not saying the videos aren't helpful - they should just be included later in the navigation process.

Maybe I'll watch a video about Optiver when I've narrowed down a path, but initially I'm interested in the career and the roles associated with it.


Good point. When you mention careers and roles associated with it, do you mean the industry and the sub-roles within that particular industry?

Great feedback again, you're a champion!


Yes, that's exactly what I mean.

No problem. I look forward to watching your progress :)
