NoRedInk | Engineering Manager | San Francisco, CA | REMOTE Pacific Time (PST) to Central European Time (CET)

We’re an ed-tech company on a mission to help all students become strong writers! Our team may be small, but NoRedInk is used by 1 in 3 school districts in the US, and students have answered over 2 billion questions on our platform.

We’re a group of friendly people who listen to and learn from each other. We discuss past mistakes openly so we can adapt our processes to the challenges that come with progress. Puns flow freely across our San Francisco office as well as on Slack, and we have remote engineers spanning six different time zones.

Our engineering team [1] prides itself on code quality and innovation. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our new front-end code, and have been migrating legacy React code to Elm as well. Our back-end is primarily Ruby on Rails, although we are working to split off smaller services as we scale to keep up with our traffic. You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog! [2]

In addition to spending work hours open-sourcing useful libraries we develop [3], we also invest financially in open source. We hired the creator of Elm, Evan Czaplicki, to develop Elm full time. [4] Evan discusses his plans for the language with the team every week, periodically pairs with other engineers on Elm, and cracks up members of the sales team with his lunchtime jokes.

We use Amazon AWS for our infrastructure and automate all of our deployments using Chef and OpsWorks. We write a lot of tests, and use Jenkins for continuous integration. Our process for new features begins with our product team and in-house visual designer, continues with a GitHub pull request from a feature branch into master, and ends with our in-house QA specialist trying to break it before it reaches production.

We’re looking for engineering managers who want to work on a mission that makes a difference and who are the type of collaborators that value kindness and open-mindedness, over convincing the group they’re right.

You can learn more about what to expect through blog posts about our interview process [5] and on-boarding experience [6].

As nice as Linux on the desktop can be sometimes, it was actually refreshing to come back to Windows 10, especially after my time with Arch.

I had forgotten how nice having certain things simply work out of the box was (wifi drivers, bluetooth drivers, etc).

I like Linux a lot, but its hard to see myself using it as a primary computer anymore, especially as a more personal, recreational machine.
That's ok. I presume you weren't a C/C++ dev before, that's old school shorthand for C coders that don't want to type out suffixes or cast numeric values.
I created some dwm-inspired tmux pane management that works well for me: https://github.com/saysjonathan/dwm.tmux
The xterm document pointed to elsewhere in the thread ( http://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html ) is the canonical reference, but I'd suggest using something like libvterm rather than writing that part yourself.
Not the OP, but maybe he's talking about the kernel panic that some users are getting during heavy-duty compilation workloads.

https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/hardware/processors-me...
I thought I would hate it but I am also fine with it, I prefer not getting my wires tangled on other commuters (which happened more that I would have liked!)
If you're counting operating systems by the kernel, why would ChromeOS be counted as anything other than Linux. Sure it is a variant, but so is Fedora or Gentoo or Arch.

I have used Google's beta products for years (Gmail for example). You remark is valid for an alpha version, but a beta version should be the final product with maybe bugs to be fixed.
Not really.

If you were able to buy 100% of Porsche, you would be able to sell it again for a similar amount because the business would continue to operate and make money. The value is in the constant stream of customers that give Porsche money in exchange for cars.

If you bought 100% of Bitcoin, you would not be able to sell it for much because the value is in the widespread ownership of Bitcoin and its use/potential use as currency. Just like the 'market cap' (money supply) of USD is a few trillion but only so long as a few hundred million people hold USD.
Attaching a DAC to a lightning port is always a pain (last time I tried, it require a lightning to USB host, then USB to DAC), not to mention it's not a great portable solution.
You have an FPGA ? That's also nice, all I have is a bunch of resistors and a MCU :) https://hackaday.com/2014/02/23/the-bitbox-console-gets-upgr... (nice project btw !)
Here's my problem with bluetooth:

Sound quality.

Bluetooth is not able to offer the fidelity of a standard 3.5mm jack. Until it is capable of doing so, I will not even consider using bluetooth headphones.

Plus, industry standard high-fidelity and studio quality headphones don't come with bluetooth due to the fidelity issue. I already have a several hundred dollar pair of awesome headphones. Why would I purchase a phone that I can't connect them to?

Let's call the removal of the headphone jack what it is: a cash grab. The only reason manufacturers are doing this is to increase profits. By removing the 3.5mm jack companies no longer have to pay for the part or attaching the part to the board. On top of this, manufacturers can now charge for special dongles and proprietary wireless headphones.
Not really. Low-end Xeons with ECC cost >$300.
This is the unfortunate result of people following "best practices" only because that's what other people do, and not because of some justifiable benefit of said practice.
StreetShares | Web Developer (Python, AngularJS) | Washington, DC (Reston, VA) | Full-time, onsite, http://streetshares.com | $80k-$100k+ and equity

We are hiring a designer as well (current details are a little fuzzy).

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email Andrew at aahlers@streetshares.com
Yeah, I'd also like to know more!
It's a fair point, but by the same token it's usually easier to teach a backend dev good UI design principles, than it is to teach a mediocre frontend dev good programming principles. There's also the fact that for a lot of the kinds of work we're hiring for, there's a creative team producing design documents that the developers are working against, so they don't actually need good UI skills generally (although it certainly can help, particularly when the designers produce things that don't actually work in practice).
It's not like people push straight to master. There is most likely a pull request system or other form of review tool in between, with both code review and static analysis.

Never underestimate the power of combined industry and government incompetence and greed. Australia is the world's top natural gas exporter, but also has the developed world's highest electricity prices. Natural gas prices have increased several fold in the domestic market over the last couple of years, with concomitant increase in electricity prices.

Increases in electricity prices can definitely happen.
If a dev cannot pick up JSX in a day they should be let go. I don't feel this is extreme at all. I'm not saying that React is always the best choice, but JSX is absurdly simple, if it can't be understand very quickly that is a red flag.
Agreed; in fact, the title falsely (or maybe ironically) conveys a positive attitude about how it's an "art," thereby attracting people who, like me, wanted to hear about some gloriously and baroquely over-engineered side project that will never see the light of day. A large investment of time, effort and craft into something, for its own sake, with no heed to whether it will ever "ship": That's what art is, man!

Should've been titled something like "Don't Over-Engineer Your Side Projects" or "How to Make your Side Project Resemble Your Day Job (If You Work for Sensible People)"
As long as there are wired-only devices that people might want to use, having wireless-only devices as well forces lots of people to have either two headsets or one with a dongle. Somebody else mentioned treadmills at a health club. I'll add airline seats. Also, some environments just aren't that conducive to interference-free wireless listening. Hell, I've had multiple computers that created their own interference between wifi and Bluetooth.

When Bluetooth is truly universal, and it's more resistant to interference, and pairing is less of a pain than it is now, then it will be time to get rid of the jack. Until then, this trend is an annoyance. Maybe it's small in the grand scheme of life, but it's enough that any such vendors are automatically on my boycott list.

Thank you for this. Or I hate you. Not sure. Just another thing I want to spend money on now.

I already wanted the LEGO Saturn V....

https://shop.lego.com/en-CA/LEGO-NASA-Apollo-Saturn-V-21309
Okay, it's "pre"-prepared. Does it taste good? The fact that it's re-heated in plastic bags is more off-putting than it simply being prepared ahead of time...
How much do I have to pay extra for the same audio quality (I'm using an ATH M50 I bought for 100 bucks) and how often do I have to recharge it? Are the batteries replaceable?

The cable problem almost went away when I switched to a coiled cable, I really would gain little to nothing with going wireless, specially when accounting for the extreme nuisance that is having to worry about the battery of yet another device.
> At the time we were thinking about Vue.js vs React, we were also considering rewriting our mobile app and React Native looked like a really good choice. That was a big plus for React since Vue.js didn’t have anything remotely stable that resembles what React Native is trying to do, so the possibility of reusing code between the web and app clients was a huge plus, but I decided that I wasn’t going to consider possibilities that might or might not happen. After all, from my experience, with Node.js I reuse a really insignificant amount of code between the browser and the server.

The main benefit of using React if you are considering using React Native is that you and your team won't need to learn another framework in order to build native mobile apps for iOS and Android - if they know React already, they'll be up to speed with React Native very quickly.

during my first real salaried job out of college, a coworker told me that they thought they could have done their work with nothing more than a high school education. that was true about my job as well.

companies have been spoiled with degreed employees who do routine coding and testing. in a lot of cases the degree is unnecessary.

but hiring processes can't break out of this pattern, this groupthink.

I have been using Vim + i3wm for years and have never felt the need to overwrite keybindings; what behaviour would you like to achieve?
The TV market as a growing interesting market for innovation is almost dead. If you are in the tech industry and looking for the next big thing, you aren't look around TVs.

I really don't think many here actually read the article and instead just focused on the byline without any context.
I'll add my "ditto" here. =)

After reading very mixed reviews about bootcamps, I've decided to go back to college and get a CS degree. I'm taking one class at a time for now so I can keep my full-time job/pay my mortgage, and boy is that slow-going (especially since my single class right now is circuit design, which is required for the degree but has little to do with software programming).

Anyway, a mentor to help me learn real-world coding skills alongside the degree work would be amazing.
Sure, but if you want an immutable object with iter, reasonable equality operators baked in, and named access, you can either define iter, eq, neq, and le on a new style slotted object with a bunch of getter descriptors, or you can make a namedtuple.
These days, Java is on the faster side of languages in common use. At least it wasn't written in JavaScript or Python!
And then you still need to have a combo charging adapter so you can talk/listen while charging, plus the 8mm headphones for exercise equipment, plus the adapter for my wired Bose headphones.

So it's still a pain, although the main thrust of my post was that if you try going Bluetooth like vendors seem to want us to do, you still need lots of cords.
I think https://qbix.com/platform is the epitome of this. It came out of me wanting to abstract away once and for all everything that made developing social networks hard. And I just kept going lol.
