I never thought that was the case - YUI pioneered a lot of the techniques that are popular in advanced JavaScript development today, like modules, dynamic loading, and creating logical view separation in your code. Eventually, a lot of people always came to me first whenever they had a question about YUI, which was pretty cool.įrom the view of some people in the JavaScript community, YUI was always considered a huge, monolithic framework that was only good for widgets. I learned a crazy amount of JavaScript, some pretty advanced debugging / performance profiling techniques, and even gave some talks. I solved a bunch of YUI bugs, added a few features here or there, and I always tried to help other folks on #yui on IRC, the mailing list, or in-person here at Yahoo, which I really enjoyed. Jenny, the manager of the YUI team back then, really took a chance on me, and that really changed my entire career path.
I was pretty new to engineering in general back then, and as a biology major with no real professional experience, I didn't have an easy time getting internships.
YAHOO QUESTION DUPE AWAY CODE SOFTWARE
My software engineering career started with the YUI team - I actually joined as an intern at Yahoo because of a Reddit post on /r/javascript. I'm still at Yahoo now, just on a different team, but just wanted to give my own thoughts on this (I don't represent the company or the YUI team). I was a member of the YUI team until a few months ago. First posted on /r/javascript on Reddit, but I think it's worth posting here too:
