Leanplum | Product Manager, Software Engineers (BE, Fullstack) | San Francisco, CA | Full-time | ONSITE | VISA sponsorship offered | https://www.leanplum.com

We're building a complete mobile marketing platform. You might've seen our billboards on the 101 or bus stops around SF. In short, we help companies engage with their mobile users. In practice, we let marketers create very granularly targeted campaigns, and we handle the delivery, reporting, and optimization for them (for example, think of a lifecycle campaign to prevent churn, or a one-off campaign to send a discount to a specific set of users).

I lead the Data Platform team that serves as a foundation for user targeting, analysis, optimizations. We ingest and process billions of events daily, and have a lot of interesting infrastructure work happening.
We are a midsize company (~140 total, ~40 engineers), B2B, series C, with real sustainable revenue, and growing very fast. My team is 5 people now and looking to grow to 7. I'm also happy to put you in touch with other teams within the company.

Apply with the link below and do send me a note to rodrigo at leanplum dot com. (If you're applying for PM, just send me an email since we don't have a job listing for that now). Job listing: https://www.leanplum.com/company/careers-openings/?gh_jid=47...
Most pure knowledge based cutting edge exploration isn't highly paid though. High pay mostly goes to man vs man status based contributors rather than man vs nature based ones.

A/B testing and ways to improve ad conversion or stickiness revolve around getting people to do things. This is different than say new math proofs that discover something.

When there is overlap and nature reveals a secret to use in society, there is high leverage and often high pay. It is not the norm though. Some may argue that it shouldn't be because it biases the purity or whatnot.

I think though zeroing in on a goal like money loses the curious branching paths that discoveries are made of. Exploration and implementation may be fundamentally oppossed. Children are fundamentally money and time sinks because they are pure learning discovery. Soldiers fundamentally can not afford to be curious. Etc...
IMO poor structure of a codebase is a sign that there is a culture problem. You acknowledge that there is an issue but have dedicated no resources to solve it. The way to fix sloppiness is to break your bad habits for new code, and then fix the issues with the old code over time.

My recommendation would be to begin adding tests to your code, keep files sizes manageable (under 120 lines), keep functions under 7 lines. In general just be a professional instead of running around trying to fight fires all the time. Luckily 15k lines of code is a pretty small project so you aren't completely screwed.
What I really want to know at this point is how come my landlord won't accept all of these Linden Dollars I've been saving up to pay my rent? :)
How does taking 'no finance' out of context and applying a much more general comment that in no way applies to the very specific original context help?
Yeah, but you can grow animal feed in the fields of occupied France, or take it from Ukranian peasants. You can't really grow petrol on those fields. (Although you can produce synthoil out of coal - which the Germans did.) The UK, the USSR, and the USA were, on the other hand, controlled something like 90% of all of the world's known oil reserves.

Fuel shortages for the fascists in WWII were so bad, in the later years of the war, they used horses to pull fighter planes from their hangars, to their runways. They did not have enough fuel to taxi under their own power.
The gross margin changing is fine and natural, I think. The Model 3 is a lower-priced good, so by being able to sell more of it, they can deal with somewhat lower margins. By that I mean, 100 cars * $12,000 gross margin each is definitely worse than 5000 cars * $4,000 gross margin (for Tesla at least, I suppose branding could come into play with other brands), even though the gross margins drastically collapse. It's just a different business model, and it's what Tesla wants to happen so they can get into the more regular-consumer market.

If I study a bunch of interviewing problems really hard, I’m bound to do good on your test. I can study hard, I proved that in unveristy and grad school. Your interview process probably isn’t that unique, and for bigger companies like Google there is plenty of study material out there.

And everyone is doing this now, it just isn’t a certain few bad recruiting agencies and applicants. Heck, even the good applicants (the ones that you want to hire anyways) have to do it to get through the loop.
Yep, it wasn't until... 2013, I think(?), that batteries became the #1 consumer of lithium, driven entirely by Tesla. In 2009, only 21% of lithium was used for batteries, while 30% was used to in glass and ceramics. Glazes and such, as far as I understand.

What are you doing that makes a half-terabyte of logs per day? That seems kinda nuts.
The longer they hold it, the less likely you'll ever get it if things go bad.
I don't fully understand what you're getting at. It would have been nice to see no examples with code entered at a REPL and the results, in both JS and Clojure, say.

Are you saying that you want to be able to make bindings that are refreshed on REPL reload? For example if I have a file that contains

x = 1

and in my REPL I write

y = x + 1

then I change my file to say

x = 10

and reload the REPL then y is 11?
StackShare | Full-time | San Francisco

https://stackshare.io/stackshare/stackshare

We’re on a mission to create the best place for engineers to figure out how to piece together their tech stack. Our vision is to transform the way that all SaaS tools and infrastructure are bought and sold.

Open roles:

- Front-End Engineer (React + Rails) - https://angel.co/stackshare/jobs/186787-front-end-react-soft...

- Developer Evangelist - https://angel.co/stackshare/jobs/86973-developer-evangelist

- Technical Content Manager - https://angel.co/stackshare/jobs/145270-content-manager

We're a small distributed team of 5 on a fresh growth spurt and building out a core local presence here in SF. Our Stack: Ruby/Rails/React/PostgreSQL https://stackshare.io/stackshare.

How we work:

Every engineer owns and is responsible for the products they build (e.g. Stack News). Before writing any code, the engineer tagged to the product writes a blog post announcing it to the StackShare community. From there, they spec out the product in detail and get feedback from at least one other engineer. Once the initial version of the product is built they ship it to a small group of beta testers, gather feedback, and iterate. Once the product has shipped to production, this engineer is then responsible for monitoring the metrics that matter for this product and iterating to improve it. Since we're building a product for engineers, we believe in letting our engineers work on things that interest them and giving them ownership over these products.

Interview process:

Phone Screen -> Technical Homework -> Technical Interviews -> Product Interviews -> Offer!

Apply via AngelList or email us at careers+HN@stackshare.io - if you're emailing us please include your resume and/or LinkedIn profile URL!

I'm in no way implying that taking care of your children is less important than your career. I think it is great what he is talking about doing and is a great investment to make in his child.

Leaving the workforce to take care of family and not doing anything to keep yourself marketable is "checking out" when it comes to your career. You are going to have to be proactive in making sure that you are doing things each week that will put you in a good place to return to the workforce IF that is what you eventually want to do.

I disagree, I don't think Flask is better for learning than Django,
It is true that many components are already built inside django but the complexity is not really hidden, the developers still need to understand how the framework works.

For sure you can create a basic view with a ModelSerializer by hiding all the complexity, but very often it won't be enough to build what you want to build, and therefore you will have to search trough the documentation how things works.

In my opinion both Flask and Django are good for learning purposes, but Flask requires the user to handle more complexity than Django, which is not always the best thing if you want to learn

You joke, but I'm looking for a way to pay Signal / OpenWhisperSystems something. Having an excellent, secure, n00b usable, cross-platform, privacy-first messaging service this good is worth paying for. I understand they are funded largely by licensing the Signal/Axolotl encryption protocol to Facebook and Google. I don't mind that business model until I consider that those are the very services I'm specifically avoiding when I use Signal. As I work to move more of my contacts to using Signal over FB Messenger, WhatsApp, Google Allo, etc. doesn't that (at the extreme case) create a conflict for Signal/OWS?

Signal/OWS: now that you've beat the chicken/egg problem will you find a way to take my money, please? Thx

SeekingAlpha predicted this a few weeks ago: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4114125-will-tesla-zero-mon...

"Leading up to the end of September, we saw new-high Model 3 VIN numbers in the wild almost every other day, culminating in number 521.

But since the beginning of October, nothing. I can’t find a single one above 521 with VIN picture evidence on any forum.

It’s unlikely to end up this way, but the sole evidence we have to date is this: Tesla is on track to deliver zero Model 3 units in October.

Of course, I don’t believe it will be exactly zero. However, it’s no longer an impossibility. It’s looking like my previous estimate of 240 units may be way too high."

Tesla says today they produced only 260 vehicles in October--and it's unlikely very many of those got all the way to end users!

From SeekingAlpha October 17: "At this stage, I'll continue to roll the dice one more time in favor of betting that for a third full month, the Chevrolet Bolt EV will out-sell the Tesla Model 3 in the U.S. - and probably by a very wide margin, along the lines or 10:1 or more. Maybe even 100:1 or an infinite margin."

Even if you consider Elon Musk a sort of demigod (as much of the tech industry seems to), the leap from 260 vehicles a month--which indicates the vehicles are still being made mostly by hand--to 5,000 a week is going to be incredibly difficult to make in just a few short months.
What makes it better than other cars of similar price range in your opinion ?
Of course it's fair. When comparing React with Angular it's only fair to compare the react ecosystem with angular.

My claim is that the grad students do not know how much money they would be making and what kind of problems they would be solving if they were to say "See ya later, Suzi" and moved to companies working on those problems. Largely, it is because most of them are young and pretty street-dumb. That makes them naively believe that schools, professors and advisers have students best interests at heart, none of which barring a few exceptions can be further from the truth.

Schools and especially professors need the cheap labor and cheap ideas provided by the grad students. The age old adage "Those that can do, those that can't teach" applies. The moment grad students move from making peanuts, dealing with politics, kissing ass of their professors and doing work of their professors to making bank, dealing with politics, kissing ass of their managers and doing work for their managers academia as we know it would collapse.

No, it shouldn't. There's the anode and the cathode- anodes are invariably graphite currently, and cathodes are where the cobalt is (if there is cobalt).

This is about entirely replacing the anode graphite with silicon.

That's because I'm a different person!

You're right that conservatives generally don't like Musk. His main attraction is his advocacy of the potential of technology to create a better future. Conservatives are generally more skeptical of the advantages of progress, and that's an important role to play in society. We need both believers who have the drive to try new things and skeptics to keep them from making stupid mistakes in their enthusiasm.

Tesla's autopilot and SpaceX's rockets offer cutting-edge technology for bargain prices, but they sacrifice the adherence to almost perfect reliability that has held the terrestrial and space transportation industries back. Skepticism about reliability might be partially motivated by dislike of his cult-like following, but it's often also rational and necessary. I think his companies will accomplish great things, and if he has to be a little more careful to please the conservative part of his funding and customer base, it will probably make him a better manager.
Same, weird
I used to think this, but interestingly, after learning several other CAD platforms, you realize both how limited SketchUp is and how the usability is really not substantially different with the huge exception of the onboarding experience. (Not to even get in to what garbage geometry it barfs out.)

There is a traditional UI paradigm in the CAD world which is totally divorced from the desktop UI world that's become ubiquitous in the past few decades. SketchUp was succesful mostly because it rethought all that based on what laymen are familiar with. But Especially at it's absurd new price-point, I think the argument for SketchUp's existence would go away entirely if Rhino just added a waaaaay simplified default workspace, enabled a sensible set of snapping options and the gumball by default, and maybe added a handful of contextual cues for common manipulation tools.
> Static types allow you to find errors with your program before execution and that is very important.

It depends on how valuable it is in your situation to be able to run a program that contains type errors.

Sometimes it's a net win. If I'm prototyping an algorithm, and can ignore the type errors so I can learn faster, that's a win. If I'm running a startup and want to just put something out there so that I can see if the market exists (or see what I should have built), it's a net win.

Sometimes it's a net loss. If I'm building an embedded system, it's likely a net loss. If I'm building something safety-critical, it's almost certainly a net loss. If I'm dealing with big money, it's almost certainly at least a big enough risk of a net loss that I can't do it.

Forget ideology. Choose the right tools for the situation.
Not worried. If that was everyone's thoughts we all would be using Perl, Java and PHP :)
Chai and karma aren't specific to react. I remember using them with angular 1.x back in the day.
I can't help but feel that price is an inevitable factor here. Tesla Model S and Model X are expensive! Now that the novelty is wearing off and more EVs are hitting the road from other manufacturers, it strikes me that they just won't remain competitive models.

I expect the Model 3 to go some way towards helping this by being much more affordable, but with delayed production on those and an interior design that won't suit everyone, I'm yet to be convinced.

”Some lines are at only 500 cars a week.”

That sounds better than what Tesla claims. http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/ABEA-4CW8X0/549293785... (emphasis added):

”Other lines, such as battery pack assembly, body shop welding and final vehicle assembly, have demonstrated burst builds of about 500 units per week and are ramping up quickly.”

If you can do burst runs of 15 km/hour, that doesn’t mean you can run a three hour marathon.

”The company burned $1.4 billion and has $3.5 billion in cash. Raising money shouldn't be necessary.”

To get that $1.4 billion in revenue, they will need to sell 40k Tesla 3s at $35k each, or 3,000 a week. To get it in margin, even assuming the average model 3 will sell for $50k, they will have to sell 12,000 a week or so (at 20% margin)

=> If things go as planned, I guess they will need about half their money in half a year or so before turning a profit. That doesn’t leave very much in case things go worse than planned (for example, they plan for 25% margin on model 3, but currently don’t have that on their more expensive models, and they plan to sell more of their expensive models, but can decrease production, so, presumably, they have quite a few of them in inventory)

Tesla may have a fantastic future ahead of it, but it also may fail spectacularly fairly soon, or just have a decent future ahead of it that doesn’t warrant its current share price.

This is a rather glib response. Of course one should choose the right tools for the situation. Personally if I'm prototyping an algorithm I'd rather do it with types so I don't write any code that was clearly nonsense before I even tried to run it.
I really don't get the hate for Angular 2+. Been using it for almost a year now and I love it. Fantastic stuff.
