Hey! My product was featured in USA Today, and Elliott Advocacy recommended my Chrome Extension! Friends, please try out my product to save money on travel.

I'll be SO GRATEFUL for any product reviews on the Chrome Extension store. Yes, I'm begging for reviews! It's so difficult to create a self-funded consumer startup, especially one that's geared to help travelers save money. Here's the extension link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hichee-airbnbbookingvrbo/ikoocbbcgemiakcmeepjmlgipjeeibon

I came so close to having my FB account hacked yesterday! Here’s a story to help you avoid this from happening to you.

I take some pride in being “tech savy” enough that I would never fall for phishing.

Aloha! I'm thrilled to announce that I'm speaking at GORUCO in NYC, at http://piersixty.com/ on June 24th, 2017. Here's my talk:

Front-End Sadness to Happiness: The React on Rails Story

Standard Rails development made me happy like no other programming paradigm in my career. Simple front-end development with standard Rails and a sprinkling of jQuery was 'OK' Then, in 2014, I had to build a front-end that dynamically updated like a desktop app. I knew there had to be something better, and I went down the rabbit hole of integrating React with Rails using Webpack. Come find out how my obsessive pursuit of “developer happiness” for the Rails front-end eventually drove me to start the React on Rails gem, the most popular integration of Rails with React using Webpack

Biography

Aloha! Inspired by the Ruby on Rails Community, Justin began blogging on http://www.railsonmaui.com. A burning desire to bring happiness to Rails front-end development led to the open source project React on Rails.

Free Time: Surfing and other sports in Hawaii!

Interesting stats! Ruby on Rails is still going strong!

Another year is behind us and many things have changed in the web development world - the number of JavaScript frameworks continues to grow, new programming languages are being developed faster than ever and people are still talking about the death of Ruby and Rails.
