SEEKING FREELANCER. Philadelphia. Local only.

We are a development shop that focuses on software craftsmanship. Our calling is to help companies create amazing, intuitive web & mobile applications, APIs, products, and services.

Pair programming, continuous integration & delivery, kaizen, and TDD/BDD aren't just ideas we pay lip service to, but core practices of our day-to-day work.

We love polyglots. We use lots of Ruby, Python, Elixir, and JavaScript (mostly React and React-Native).

As PromptWorks grows, so does demand on our engineering team. We often find ourselves fielding development inquiries from excellent clients working outside our preferred stacks and expertise or we occasionally don’t have enough staff to fill out a team with employees. In those cases, we like to work with seasoned, versatile contractors that are excited to dive in. We are seeking experienced freelance engineers to mutually expand our business.

Skills we are currently looking for:

• Ruby & Rails
• Elixir & Phoenix
• Kubernetes, Docker, AWS Lambda
• Python
• React, Angular
• React Native
• .NET
• iOS, Android

The Real Reason Frameworks Get Adopted
They should be free to live their life. If it turns out that the company doesn't actually have enough money to hire enough people to perform all of the duties that it needs to continue to exist, then that company should cease to exist. Which is desirable over the alternative of having rich company owners externalize their failure to run their company adequately by stealing the lives of employees who don't have the ability to say no to an unethical violation of their right to live their life.

I'm sure it contributes, but I think the key reason it's more politically feasible is because it doesn't hit as many (especially poorer) Europeans as hard (EDIT: I meant to imply here there are a lot fewer miles driven).

Looking up the statistics on miles driven, the gap isn't as big as I expected, though, so I'm probably not giving the tax as much credit as it deserves.

Exactly. Even in technology circles people will not necessarily understand the compromises you have to make as a self-funded entrepreneur. To take an example, there is often a way of building things that is understood to be the "correct" way. Comprehensive tests, continuous integration, container orchestration, there could be many examples. What people do not understand is that a self-funded solo entrepreneur has to compromise all the time, being desperately short on time and money. So yeah, some tests, very limited CI, and scripts that start docker containers, for now, until there is time to do more, because time is so short. Talking about this openly always raises eyebrows.

What few people understand is that a solo self-funded developer is not supposed to get tech things "right". That is a good way to run the business into the ground. Instead, the goal is to optimize cash flow by carefully balancing your time investment between technology and marketing.

$200k in annual income is nearly four times the US median income. Sure, it's not "ultra-rich", but it the 94% percentile.

Don't know how what you consider "high income", but if "more than 94% of the population of one of the richest countries in the world" doesn't qualify, then there is basically no one who does.

That's why it shouldn't be the first step of the interview process, but it's totally fine as the last step. When the hiring party thinks: "we want this candidate if they're as good as they seem to be", then it's a good time to have a look at their code.

Cooklist | Backend Django / Data Engineer | Dallas, TX / Remote | $80K - 120K w/ restricted stock

Cooklist shows you recipes you can cook with the groceries you buy and will allow you to order groceries by choosing recipes you want to cook.

Think Kayak for aggregating all the grocery retailers into one interface and Mint.com for importing all your retail purchase data into a digital pantry.

We just finished the TechStars Retail Program and announced a partnership with Target. We're a small team of experienced startup founders and engineers and are looking for a backend engineer and data engineer to join our team.

Cooklist can connect directly to 77 grocery chains like Walmart, Safeway, Kroger etc. and automatically download every purchase a user makes in store and online. It uses NLP to match each product purchased to recipe ingredients. Over 1,000,000 products are matched to 1,000,000 recipes.

You can see a demo video and find links to download the app for iOS and Android at https://cooklist.co or email me at daniel@cooklist.co if interested
I like the idea of this:

Productivity: every day do at least one measurable thing that puts forward your project, even if very small.

But a bit confused on the "measurable" piece, if you write code, make a new feature or fix a bug, how can it be measurable?
You should probably stop keeping your wallet in your back pocket, though. I downgraded to a smaller one so I could keep it in my front pocket with my phone.
If your OS is running totally in virtual memory instead of mostly RAM I see a problem.

QuotaPath | Backend or Full-stack Engineer | Philadelphia, PA or Austin, TX | Full-Time | On-Site | https://www.quotapath.com/careers/
Sales compensation plans can be shockingly complex. Too often, salespeople are forced to use unfriendly accounting software from the web 1.0 era, or worse, to pass around Excel spreadsheets, without the ability to verify the calculations or understand how they work.

At QuotaPath, we're solving this problem in a new way. We're creating a platform that's built for salespeople, not accountants. This means our business model is unique, both consumer-facing and B2B ("B2BC"; think Slack). Good UX and beautiful design are at the core of our process. The demand for a product like this is intense and we're working as hard as we can to deliver features to eager users.

We're looking for engineers to help us accelerate our development as a product and as a company. If you're interested in having a huge impact on a small team, this is a great opportunity. We're well-funded, but we're still only 8 people: 3 engineers, 1 UX and 4 others in product and executive team. I'm one of those 3 engineers, and I'm also the technical co-founder. Please ask me questions if you have any!

Our stack is Python + Django on the backend, TypeScript + React on the frontend, but we're more interested in working with people who are smart and capable than people from any particular background. If you have strong opinions about using different tech, we'll hear you. Like most startups, we're built on lots of open source tech and we plan on giving back. We value building a culture of inclusion and transparency. We care about diversity and hope you do too.

How UPS uses AI to deliver holiday gifts in the worst storms
Deriving phenotype from genomics is partly a problem of data. To give a computer the best chance to definitively correlate phenotype with sequence, you need millions to tens of millions to hundreds of millions of DNA sequences from unrelated individuals from every possible genetic lineage, and you'd also need objective analysis of phenotypes without cultural influence, ie someone who is boisterous in one culture would be normal in another culture, independent of the actual genetics.

Computationally, this is statistical analysis, and I doubt that AI would be able to offer anything unique. Protein folding prediction, on the other hand, is more of a question of "where do you start to arrive at the answer most efficiently", and AI is well suited for this, and it would be much better than humans at prediction using methodologies and correlations far outside of human brain capability.
Somewhat off topic, but immediately upon finishing a long coding session (where i'm deep "in the zone"), I find it extremely valuable to brain dump the immediate next steps I would take in the event I continued coding then and there (as many as I can perceive). I call this my TODO NEXT list. When I look at the list the next day (first thing), it helps me snap right back into that mental state where I left off, even if the list is vague or incomplete.
This covers that and much more: https://blog.ucsusa.org/rachael-nealer/gasoline-vs-electric-...
The Creepy Line – Documentary
It wasn't good at that factory, to be sure. I'd estimate that engineers were costing the company money on balance for the first year and a half of their employment -- there was a lot to learn about the process, how the factory ran, working with other departments, and so forth. Bad engineering decisions were very expensive. So when you have a pool of engineers who are mostly too inexperienced to make good decisions, a lot of bad decisions get made. Given the attrition rate, about 50% of engineers were running around making bad decisions, or no decisions at all, at any given time.
Launching next week: trial.land
I don't know if people are getting hung up on the term "full day" but I'm not sure I've ever heard of people being hired for senior (or even not so senior) professional roles without having multiple in-person interviews.

I suppose there are distributed companies that just do things over video link these days (and I've interviewed people over a video link when necessitated by travel schedules or people being in different locations). But some number of in-person interviews over the course of 4 or 5 hours is absolutely standard in my experience.
I bullet journal. (https://bulletjournal.com/pages/learn)
I got my wife into it as well. Our journals are vastly different. She uses it to review and keep info. I use it as a task list and some notes.

It's a big motivator and important tool I've picked up.

The best part of the bullet journal method is the de-prioritizing of tasks. I don't give up on things to the point of detriment. With a bullet journal, I've learned to let go of stuff and move forward.
I agree (conservatively). I don't like taking customer calls, and doing it a lot seems like it could waste valuable time, but I think it is important for engineers to at least occasionally interact with customers so that they understand what this darn piece of software is _actually_ supposed to do. We can sometimes get caught up in feeling like we know what it is supposed to do and implement it, only to find out (or even worse not find out) that people use it entirely differently.

The other thing is that you get familiar with the "type" of problems that arise. This helps you communicate with customer support when they call, or know what questions to ask to get to their issues.

I've had customer support complain about an issue or feature request they have never told us about but have had pain points and customer requests for months. It is always a trivial change. Improving communication between customer support staff developers is hugely valuable however it happens.
Pharmaceutical markets don't exist without government-enforced patent monopolies. The entire market is state-created, so the state should probably regulate that market to maximize benefits to the citizens of that state.
I'm not sure who you have been giving money to, but Gorhill notoriously does not accept donations as he does not want this project to have money be a goal what-so-ever and does not want to feel like he needs to work on ublock origin.

That's funny.

..and ok sure, I concede exceptions. In that case, I think (1) the tradition is of hiding from the law has produced quirky horticultural practices (piping in air and exhaust for plants is normal) (2) they don't really care about unit costs and (3) they're growing a plant that costs $10k per kg! They need security like a jewelry shop.
Whenever I'm getting tired/lazy I think "If the last digit in the minutes of the clock in my phone are 0, 1, 2 or 3, I'm taking time to goof off". It bypasses the guilt, and is also just a little biased in favor of doing the disciplined thing.

netboot.xyz is great! My main use case is to boot things off of drac/ilo etc. If you have a remote server hosted in a datacenter and have struggled to use drac's virtual iso feature, boot the netboot iso. Since it's tiny, it works great for booting, and it switches to the primary NIC once the OS is booting. If you try to use your full iso with drac, it will be painfully slow because it goes through several layers of indirection (reverse proxies set up by your provider, the weird drac driver etc.)
