Liberty Advisor Group, Anywhere in US (preferably Chicago or SF Bay Area, but not required)

This is a very unique position in that we are not a "tech startup" but rather provide services to technology investors and IT groups within large organizations seeking to transform their businesses with technology. I'm looking for someone who has a background developing web (or mobile) applications and can leverage that knowledge to provide strategic direction to investors and CxO's.

What we do: We provide M&A transaction services for Private Equity and Venture Capitalists, as well as general technology strategy for businesses of all sizes. This role would be focused on M&A deals mainly for middle market technology companies with revenues between $1M and $400M.

About you:

- Understand what agile management looks like

- Understand financials (Capex vs Opex, EBITDA, leverage buyouts, etc)

- May have personally fully developed a solution using web technology or have a varied history of doing so. Hands on .NET, Java and Rails are pluses

- Can understand the difference between the "old guard" tech companies and "unicorns" and decipher the business value between the two for investors

- Understand the role of a strategy/management consultant for M&A professionals

- Are a self starter and self learner (don't need much direction to get stuff done)

- Background at a management consulting company is a plus

- If you've written code and executed an IT due diligence service for an investor before, then you should apply

- Like to travel

Please contact me directly with the Subject line "HN Opportunity" and your resume attached (brief intro why you're a good fit would be good too). If you do not follow these instructions you'll be ignored. My email is mbestvina AT our website linked below.

NO RECRUITERS
I know I've seen this pattern in person, but something about the way you wrote it makes me want to go back and think about some of my other projects before I could identify that was the problem.

I know one project in particular we did a release about every 7 months. Every release cycle they estimated 2 weeks for requirements, every cycle took a month, and yet the next cycle you'd see a 2 week estimate on the roadmap.

As for switching to Agile, I know some people would tell you that Kanban would identify this problem for you by around week 8. Did you guys ever try having development liaisons help them draft requirements that were precise from an engineering perspective? Sometimes that initial meeting works better when there are only three people in the room, instead of a bunch of exasperated people being condescending to you again while you're trying to do a good job. adjusts collar nervously I'm uh... asking for a friend.

How many companies did you apply for? To get my current job, I applied for about 120 positions, interviewed with four of them. It's a competitive market, which means it's a numbers game. Don't give up after applying to a small handful of companies. Also, if you're near Mexico City, try spending some time at a well-connected coworking space like Centraal. If not, check out workfrom.co for coworking spaces near you and start spending time there and going to events. Jobs come easier through connections than through cold applications. Plus you'll probably find encouragement there too.
Also mexican. Not sure what visa you are trying to get. But if you just want to work in USA it is very easy to get a visa if you are Mexican and you have a relevant degree. Look at TN Visa. You just need an offer letter. 3 close friends have done that and the process was very simple.

How Bad Are K-Cups for the Environment? (2015)
Why no section on server-side frameworks? I for one picked Hapi over Express a couple years ago and have been very happy with the switch. I'd love to know what has changed since then!
I was sadly thinking the same :( - Things happen, but it's the little things that matter sometimes.
First, let me say I am a huge fans of RethinkDB and their entire team. The quality and beauty of their software is something to be admired.

I've been working on my 3rd startup for a few months and decided to use RethinkDB with Node.js. If you follow them at all, they are extremely active on GitHub and Twitter. Then... All the sudden everything stopped. No new commits. No new tweets. Complete radio silence.

I wish them all the best, and hope they can solve whatever issues they are dealing with.
Try googling for meetups and usergroups for your favorite language/technology, and for hacker spaces. https://www.meetup.com/ is good for the former, https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/Mexico may help with the latter. If you can't find one in your city, maybe start one yourself? Based on your portfolio, you're definitely savvy enough to manage a regular meetup, and I think it would do you a world of good.

Indeed. I reject people all the time that can code just fine, but due to the technical details of the position, they don't seem to have the technical depth in a certain area that may be entirely unrelated to just generic coding.
Considering the article lacks a proper marker of it's end, what's the last line of the article?
There have been no commits to any of the branches in 18 days https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/branches/all

Virtually every JS tool/lib/framework sells itself as "simplifying" something, and they usually do. It's the overhead of constantly simplifying that's murdering our productivity.
The domain isn't, the full URL is. (But content size etc probably still allow identification of an individual page on a small site, and the context of the domain is already valuable)
213 people put "never heard of it" for plain javascript
It's clear as far as it goes, but as I said before, I don't think it goes nearly far enough. It's not just that messages stored with your service aren't secure against state actors - messages stored with your service aren't secure against anyone with the nous to compromise the host(s) on which it runs. And I hope you'll forgive me for saying that, given that you managed to overlook trivial CSRF for a year in the application's request handling code, I'm not entirely sanguine that your host configuration is strongly secure against any, perhaps even most, non-state actors.

That's not something I like saying, and I can't imagine it's all that pleasant to hear, either. I wouldn't say it at all if I did not feel it necessary, and I feel it necessary precisely because there seems to be a severe mismatch here between the gravity of any potential compromise of your service and the measures taken to prevent such a compromise from occurring. You know a lot more about the nature and scope of those measures than I do, of course, and it's possible I'm underestimating them here. I do hope that's the case. If it is, please accept my apologies for having spoken harshly where doing so was unwarranted. If it isn't, I hope you'll attend to that situation as best you can without delay. If you're not sure, then for the sake of your users, I hope you'll bring in someone with the capability to evaluate and resolve whatever security issues exist, and do so with as little delay as possible.

In any case, you've (perhaps accidentally) put yourself in a position that encourages people to invest a great deal of trust in you, and it seems that many people have done so. Had I put myself in such a position, I would not be comfortable remaining in it if I could not be entirely confident I had either done everything within my power to fulfill that trust, or removed myself from that position without betraying the trust I'd found myself ultimately unable to fulfill. But that's just my own evaluation, and perhaps you feel differently.
How about fixing it's CPU leak first??
Assuming a long lifespan, if you are in the position with your only heart failing, you're screwed.
Gotta say its pretty awesome! I can do a whole fully functional web app in about a 80kbs JS library(including embedded HTML for fast loading of different views).

The sweet thing about Dart is you don't need libraries like Angular or JQuery. I just use the built in Dart HTML methods and they compile down to vanilla JS.
For me the compute pricing isn't the main issue. The cutthroat bandwith prices from 9 to 18 cents per GB are the main cost drivers and should be at least mentioned in a blog post about price reduction.
I made an edit and my SFTP didn't upload it completely due connections problems. Plus, I was in a rush when writing it. It's all good now.
Don't give up coding or discontinue this kind of product building. You clearly love building stuff from the ground up, you'd be disappointed doing anything else. Having no support is a pity, but I'm sure the majority of people here on HN will support you.

You wrote that taxes and business is a pain. I have to agree, I feel a sharp pain in my stomach if I think about those things. What people usually do in these situations is to team up with somebody else with complementary skills, so you need a sales / marketing / getting things done type of companion. (however if you find some business that you really like and got some initial cash out of it, the you should outsource all this pain to a $really_good accountant)

If joining the family business sounds like boring for you, then don't do it. Do you live with your family? You could demonstrate that you have something else on your mind by moving out, going abroad or something else, you know, something more visible other than writing code.

Finally, recognize how lucky you are that you live in the Bay Area. I probably would have succeeded by now If I was born there. (yes, big IF). Don't feel bad because those companies passed on you, there are tons of alternatives and you are not really unsuccessful if you make $150k+ and with your resume that should be minimum even if you are a terrible negotiator. So keep up the good work and push it hard :)
> I can't understand any other context for drafting 18 year olds other than taking advantage of their youth and incomplete development

18-year-olds have been volunteer recruited and drafted for perhaps the entire history of organized armies. Child soldiers also have (and in some countries still are) enlisted also. I suspect this is only out of extreme necessity, as the moral and practical drawbacks are overwhelming.

When the United States has instituted the draft, it has encompassed 18-to-45 year-olds for immediate enlistment. 18-25 year-olds comprise the largest age group of new volunteer enlistees in the US. The largest barriers to military service qualification are health reasons and family situations. It would follow that younger enlistees would have lower likelihood of physical injuries and being the sole caretaker of a dependent.

Your post made sense until your bizarre digression to armed service being linked to incomplete prefrontal cortex development. It can be appealing to find sinister motivations behind institutions you dislike, but there isn't a basis in fact here. The explanation is tradition, health, and lack of obligations.
Samsung has pretty much accomplished that, sort of by a random walk of features. Samsung's Android is different enough that, for some customers, it is preferable.

But it means Samsung's versions lag Google significantly, and Samsung is quick to orphan their own products. So Samsung customers start behind, and get stranded in the past of Android. Also, app developers often have to to test specifically on Samsung phones because Samsung has introduced bugs and security issues with their modifications.
I'm sure this is really cool, but autoplay music with no visible volume control, not cool.
We're dealing with what is observable or we're just guessing.

Sure, we don't know what average joe would be capable of in such a scenario, but we equally don't know that capitalism would contain itself without regulation. What we however do know because we see it repeatedly is that corporations gladly take any shortcuts possible until they're caught. BP, VW, endless others. You can't be suggesting it would be BETTER without regulation?

Yammer (Microsoft) | San Francisco, CA | Onsite | Full-Time | Senior Software Engineer (Front end)

Yammer is looking for an awesome senior front end engineer to join the team in San Francisco. Located near SF's Civic Center, the office boasts beautiful historic features, free meals and great commuter benefits. Send you resumé to rtagger @ microsoft.com.

About Yammer:-
At Yammer, our mission is to change the way people work, and that mission starts with us. We use our own product every day to promote and encourage our culture of openness and transparency. Yammer provides each user with a voice, empowering individuals to share ideas, ask questions, and voice concerns. We're passionate about building a great product that people love to use, and we're always on the lookout for similarly product-minded engineers to join us. Our Frontend engineering team works on a rich, complex client-side application. And at Yammer, engineers don't just get handed specs and mocks to build -- we work in an iterative and collaborative way with Product and Design to create the best possible user experience. So, we need people who are enthusiastic, who ask great questions, who have strong opinions but aren't afraid to admit when they're wrong, and who enjoy collaborating with a cross-functional team. At Yammer we hire smart people, expect them to learn and grow, and trust them to make day-to-day decisions. We care most about creating products people love - to enable that, we move quickly (pushing code to production at least daily), we iterate, and we value learning over shipping features.

Maybe an acquisition is in progress and they're in the a due diligence phase or something?
Making money on your own as a developer is not easy. It is much easier to get a job and get paid for your time than to build something independently and get paid for your product. And I say this as the guy who run https://IndieHackers.com, a site all about developers making money independently, so you know I'm not speaking lightly.

Anyway, it sounds like your environment is poisonous, but you can't leave because you don't have money, you don't have money because you don't have a job, and (as far as I can tell) you don't have a job because you're not applying to enough places and you haven't studied properly for coding interviews. Take 2-3 months to compile a large list of companies (50+) and to study for interviews. I know, I know, the typical interview format sucks, but study for it anyway. Then get a job and move somewhere less depressing!

If you want to eventually make money on your own, you'll need to change how you look at business. First things first: don't overestimate the importance of code. Almost all the interviews on Indie Hackers from people making <$1k/mo say, "I haven't done much marketing yet, but I'll get to it one day." And almost all of the interviews from people making >$10k/mo say, "I spend most of my time marketing." There are a few lucky people who've found success without marketing, but you really don't want to rely on luck if you don't have to.

Also, make more posts in Ask HN or on the Indie Hackers forum and let us know how you're doing. Lots of people are happy to provide feedback, and maybe this will help you feel less alone!

Not sure why. Initially, I thought they were going to fill it out with some material or something but apparently they don't. Also have concerns about the strength of the overall structure.
