I usually override this and always keep a SASS mixin in my toolbox for this, CSS resets in my experience actually don't remove this.

But I agree it's very important to include good focus states on your buttons, especially for forms where people will tab through the textboxes (and eventually to the submit button). But that blue 'halo' may not always (and usually doesn't) jive with the rest of the design.

Personally I'm a big fan of the focus state with the off-color bottom border (see Slack's website for a good example). I noticed even Google has this style of focus state on some of their pages the other day.

I was tired of the state of things so I started this project:

https://github.com/tylerFowler/chrome-dashboard

Not even close to being done and there's not yet a settings page for API keys but if you're that kind you can set it up yourself. I use the DN/HN and bookmarks section every day.

That did actually happen to me a while back.. I moved my mouse up and right before I could close it I got a "please don't go! We have things!" message, which of course changed the focus which added one more step to closing the window. So add inconvenient to that.. and kind of creepy?

Extremely annoying. Comes off as desperate I think..

I'm in almost exactly the same boat as you. 21 years old, got my first full time job out of college in September (on the same day as you.. weird enough). I love the company I work for, it's a small startup environment and only in the last month or so have we really started to grow.

However, because of the nature of the company pretty much everyone is early-30's to late 40's and those are mainly C++ developers with a ton of experience, and the web contractor that they were using before me is a big Java/Spring enterprise guy (now he's on app development). So I'm building internal web services in Node and Angular which nobody else in the office knows, but am getting paid about $43k a year (before taxes). Not to mention that I'm the only one who knows design of any sort.

I'm with you on this one, I'll definitely be asking for a raise coming this September. When I started I didn't have many options so I was ok with getting underpaid, but now that I've been there for a while I get recruiters emailing me like crazy with most of the positions offered range from $55 - $65k a year.

I think part of it might also be that, at least in my company, since nobody is really a web developer and management focuses on the main product (which are mobile apps), any web dev work seems to be undervalued and underappreciated.

Woke up to this pleasant surprise this morning. Always enjoyed the interface but definitely thought it could do better, and this update definitely fulfilled my expectations. Now for the Mac app ;)

Ha! I'd like to get up earlier... but it never seems to happen. I'm on my first year out of school so I'm still on the college schedule a little bit ;)

I saw the loading screen and thought I was about to be impressed. It only served to let me down even harder..
