		<description><![CDATA[In my career, I've been fortunate (or unfortunate depending on your point of view) to become heavily involved in the process of recruiting and hiring engineering talent for multiple companies.  I'm discouraged to say that the User Interface Engineer (which I'm defining quite differently than Jared Spool's UIE.com site) is among the most difficult positions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I swear; I'm not a hypocrite. I 100% stand by what I wrote to Mozilla about supporting H.264 or risking killing video on the Web sans plugins. I also continue to believe that H.264 is a significantly superior codec to Theora (it's a fact so it's hard to deny). And I also continue to believe [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recursion is one of the most misunderstood concepts in software development. Truthfully, in modern software development it has been almost completely replaced by iterative control structures (loops). In front-end UI-layer development, it is very rarely used. However, it's very common that you'll be asked questions about recursion during an interview. Why? I compare it to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Javascript, unlike most object-oriented programming languages, does not have the concept of Classes. Instead, Javascript uses a model in which objects are created, cloned, and enhanced by creating copies of the objects (it's loosely based on the Prototype pattern). There is a lot of power in this Prototypal system and people like Douglas Crockford have [...]]]></description>
