I am currently going through\u00a0the recruitment process,\u00a0polishing up public repos to show off my best code. Rather enjoying the internal peace that comes with coding self-initiated projects for the sake of it I've challenged myself to make the most hipster repo possible! Hopefully whatever beard-oiled stack of technologies I toss together will\u00a0give some of\u00a0Bristol's\u00a0CV-crunchers a little tech-boner and maybe put a smile on the face of some recruiters.<\/p>\n
So here's what I've come up with... \u00a0A NodeJS (Express framework) back end, templated in Hogan<\/a>, that uses an open-source\u00a0package to poll the\u00a0Twitter API for live\u00a0content that is fed through to an animated\u00a0WebGL interface constructed by JavaScript (and the THREE.js<\/a> library)\u00a0that was built using Broccoli<\/a> and Babel<\/a> to transpile ECMAScript ES2015. The whole lot will have 100% code coverage through unit testing and deployed using Jenkins and made publicly available on Github.<\/p>\n As there's no money in this project and hipsters are frugal<\/a> I will publish\u00a0it with a free hosting account on Open Shift<\/a> and then ride my fixie bike down to the barbers to drink a craft ale and eat a meal that is either completely\u00a0free of animal products or constructed entirely from meat, whatever the opposite of the neighbouring table is.\u00a0Errgh.<\/p>\n Tell me if you think my hipster tech stack can be improved?
