Airtame (https://airtame.com) | Copenhagen, Denmark/ Budapest, Hungary | Full-time, Onsite

Airtame is a fast-growing startup. Our wireless streaming solution helps people work better. We are based in windy Copenhagen, but have offices in New York and Budapest.

We're currently hiring:

* DevOps Engineer - Copenhagen or Budapest or Europe (https://boards.greenhouse.io/airtamejobs/jobs/4122590002)

* QA Engineer - Budapest (https://boards.greenhouse.io/airtamejobs/jobs/4242126002)

* Business Systems and Integrations Analyst - Copenhagen or Budapest (https://boards.greenhouse.io/airtamejobs/jobs/4203157002)

Our team is given significant ownership and responsibility over projects. We encourage experimenting with new technologies and constantly challenge ourselves to improve our code, processes, and systems.
I greatly prefer take-homes, because I feel they show off the quality of what I can do under actual coding conditions (rather than the stress of live coding or the BS of whiteboard coding) but it does get a bit tiresome. Especially because it is rarely a 2 hour assignment, they can be 8-16 easy.

Recently I've had three or four interviews that didn't quite get to the job offer stage, but they did both include over 30 hours of work + interview steps. I'm sorry, but a full week's of unpaid work that I have to fit around my actual day job is just not practical, I know you want to make a good decision, but really...????

The best I've seen recently is a company that paid an hourly wage for 2 days worth of take-homes. Not consulting wages, but a good wage. It gives them incentives not to invite everyone in the world to do their test, and gives the interviewee something for their time.

Here's what I posted to our blog when this question came up:

https://blog.cloudflare.com/boringtun-userspace-wireguard-ru...

We communicated with Jason throughout the process and have a ton of respect for him and the entire WireGuard community. In the short term, we need the flexibility to quickly update BoringTun's code base to support the project we built it for. That's harder when you need to coordinate with people outside Cloudflare and when we need to move as fast as we plan to. However, we really believe in Open Source and want the WireGuard community to thrive. We licensed the code very openly (3-paragraph BSD) and WireGuard may choose to fork it. If they do, we'll support it and plan to contribute any improvements in our own fork back. Over the long term, I think we're very open to merging this back into the upstream project.

Journalists Wonder If Apple News+ Is a Trojan Horse
That’s what happened to me. I left a job as the dev lead at a medium size company with a small development department to work at a small software company where so specifically negotiated not to be a team lead. I told my now manager that I could be a lot more effective working across teams as needed as an IC and just demonstrating and mentoring the team leads who I felt were much more qualified than I was to be a team lead. They knew the software stack and they were all much stronger on the front end than so was. They all needed help with infrastructure and process.

I make more now and have more influence using relationship and expert power than I ever did with the role power I had before - the three levers of power in an organization.

Ask HN: Why is paulgraham.com still not HTTPS?
I see a lot of straw man arguments in this thread. There are bad metrics - I think that’s uncontroversial. But you (and others) appear to be making the argument that there are no good metrics - and pointing to bad metrics is irrelevant there.
A thought experiment: What if HN changed nothing except that it never displayed point counts for posts, comments, or users? I think it would tamp down gadfly behavior. It may also, however, do the same to behavior that we want to encourage. There are no easy answers.
IMHO, code sharing between the frontend and backend is very hard to do properly and you have more changes of making stuff too generic and unmaintanable faster. KISS

As any new project, go with you're most comfortable with, so you can prototype and changes things faster. After you reach a good size and understanding of the problem you may refactor stuff for a different language/framework with better reasons for it.

That being said, if you want to use Python but not a "batteries included" framework like Django, so you have better control of the stack, check out Pyramid, it is really good and scales (I'm talking on code maintainability, but also performance-wise) very well from pet-project phase to complex applications.
Sounds like we have similar interests!

I was speaking more to stability. Rust is designed to be an incredibly safe language without sacrificing any performance; that seems like a good match for a version-control system.
I generally do tell them it's a complex problem and I'm looking more for how they approach it than any specific solution. I don't tell them everything I'm looking for because then they'll just pretend to be the way I want them to be. But I disagree that it's unrealistic. I've had far too many employees and coworkers who don't understand what is being asked of them or don't know what they're doing, and try to fake it as long as they can. And if I tell them they need to tell me if there's a problem, they almost always haven't until the pattern continues and becomes a worse problem. If the way they deal with pressure in an interview is to bullshit me, I need to know that long before they're under pressure at work.

The thing is, spontaneous order mostly doesn't happen. You need organized campaigns to make voting meaningful; if everyone votes for a different candidate you're not going to get anywhere and will usually lose to parties that are organized. The same is true in the market; individuals can't make good buying decisions about things that aren't visible without labeling by standards organizations or stores that set standards themselves.

While having popular support is essential, an organization is more than just the sum of individual actions and this is what leadership is about.
Darkstore | Multiple roles in Engineering, Product Management, & Design | Full Time | San Francisco | Onsite

Darkstore is changing the way ecommerce products are delivered. Fulfillment and logistics is complicated, which is why we started Darkstore to make it simple and easy. We've created a nationwide logistics network to enable same-day delivery of products for companies like Nike.

Darkstore works by exploiting excess capacity in storage facilities, malls and bodegas and enables them to be fulfillment centers with just a smartphone. The idea is that brands without local inventory can store it in a Darkstore and then ship out same-day. Darkstore charges brands across three areas: fulfillment, storage and delivery.

We closed a $7.5M Series A in January 2019 and are hiring multiple people for Eng, Product, & Design.

>How can we get substantive, critical thinking skills earlier into the curriculum so we don't have to just assure students: "trust us, math will get interesting if you can just stick with it through calculus and linear algebra".

Don't teach math to elementary school students. Seriously. The current system mostly just teaches children to hate mathematics. Talk to some random adults if you doubt me - if you like math, you're in a large minority.

There's a good chunk of math that is nearly impossible to grasp until you've developed sufficiently abstract thought, at which point they're pretty obvious. I remember reading something like "sixth graders who enter with zero prior math exposure are merely a year behind fully educated peers at the end of the year". People are extremely good at picking up the mathematical concepts they need that are within their conceptual grasp. Hell, I know someone who wasn't exposed to algebra until they were taking calculus courses for their mechanical engineering major - they had to put in a ton of work and get help from their greek peers, but they passed their courses.

>> , for example, utterly failed on their last Prime day, and from the discussions of those Amazonians I know, it was pretty much inevitable

I am not familiar what happened. I am also ex-Amzn. I think there is also a dimension to this, scale. With Amazon's scale there are quite different challeges then in a smaller company. There are solutions that could not possible scale to their needs.

Fast-and-lose was largely introduced when Google and Facebook got entered the scene. I remember that Google did a survey and most of the users were ok with some breakage and get the newest features ASAP. Many people concluded based on this that all software development is like that. Ironically Facebook lately adopted certain technologies to reduce the amount of bugs in their frontend code (ReasonML). I think there is a large distance between bulletproof and feck-all reliability. Top companies are closer to the bulletproof range of the spectrum while bottom companies closer to the feck-all end.

Straight to git but have a simple and clear branching strategy. As in a full written procedure for the three main events of git. "Get code, commit code, push code".

Then disallow direct commits to master to make people work in feature branches and make merge requests through the platform (github /lab/ bitbucket). I find merging and branching locally is where people normally trip up.

Git GUI tools always make git seem way more complicated than it is so depending on the teams platform I would recommend cli from the start.

It also makes me wonder if crawling the web and probing servers could get one in trouble for "hacking" under our current laws, even if the purpose is to protect people. Especially since, in this case, the people whose servers you're probing will stand to lose instead of gain from the audit.

In fact, now that I think about it, disclosing a list of sites that have known vulnerabilities could actually be a legitimately irresponsible thing to do; you'd be picking targets for bad-actors unless there was a confidential disclosure process.
Yeah. It's a red flag when someone campaigns without a clear indication of what they actually stand for.

UK 1976 I was doing a computer science O level at the local technical college (Wednesday afternoon release from my school). There was a 19" rack modem with accoustic coupler on the front and a dial to dial the number. That was connected to a teletypewriter. We did some BASIC 'interactive' programming (the main projects used coding sheets).

The system was vulnerable to thunder storms I remember (line noise). All good fun.
