Blackbird Studios | Sr Fullstack Developer | San Francisco or Remote | US Only | Short term Freelance or Long term Contract to hire

Blackbird is a full service digital product studio. We specialize in a holistic approach to launching new software products inspired by Human Centered Design and Lean UX. We partner with top innovation and design firms (like IDEO) to bring startup best practices in launching ambitious new products into market. Our teams include CTO consulting, Software Development, UX/UI, team building, and Product Management. We work with large and small companies/startups on projects ranging from 1-6 months with 2-7 people on each project.

We build full stack web, mobile, IoT, physical installations, etc. Our favorite stack is React, React Native, GraphQL, and Rails. We also use a wide range of other tech as needed since we face a pretty diverse set of challenges. Recent and upcoming examples: Elixir/Phoenix, .Net, Native iOS/Swift, Android/Kotlin.

Working at Blackbird is very different from larger product companies. We operate in very strategic relationships with our clients and partners which gives us all a unique opportunity every few months to deep dive into a new interesting understanding of our client's business and build ground up new apps where everyone is making major and early contributions. It is very satisfying and fun work!

We are looking for Senior and Lead Fullstack Developers excited about building great software products, who are great teammates, and who are passionate about continuously refining best practices for creating successful digital products. Experience in dev team leadership, new product development, collaboration with business and design stakeholders, and consulting experience are all a huge plus. Specific skills ideally include our favorite stack (at least very interested in learning) plus (nice to have) expertise in one of .NET/C#, iOS/Swift, or Android/Kotlin. We work remotely but occasional travel to San Francisco and other locations is part of the job for project kickoffs and other critical collaboration phases or meetings.

Interested? We want to hear from you! Please send resume/CV or LinkedIn to jobs@blackbird.us. I am a founder so ask me anything! If there are other aspects of what we do that interest you definitely still hit me up!
On a project? Sure. I'm a big fan of blameless retrospectives as a way to maximize quality. But that only works in the context of a quality-oriented culture that is strongly focused on continually improving safety.

However, a) none of that was true here, and b) in the wider societal frame, I think blamenessless must not always trump accountability. When we're talking about egregious negligence leading to death, I think naming the culprits is the very least we should do.
> and I repeatedly have complete, multi-day interactions in the city with zero dysfunction.

I will echo the poster you replied to you. The fact that you're celebrating that you've experienced more than a single day without seeing crime (in a 1st world country) sounds like madness to much of the rest of the world.
I just hope their actual accredited courses they took in college isn't just random videos with unsubstantiated claims.

Sadly, that isn't always the case; given how much Doctors pay to graduate, you'd think everyone coming out of college would be highly educated, and that isn't true at all.
I just finished rewrite of big (400+K LOC) 10 year old pylons codebase to pyramid. We were able to share our models, services and 100% template code, and about 80% of view code was untouched.

What you want to do is follow this recipe:

https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid-cookbook/en/...

You put a 404 handler in pyramid to delegate not found views to pylons, and move views one by one.

In a pyramid tween you can push pyramid session, settings, request,response to pylons app globals.
This approach works really well - you don't have to do total rewrite.
You have same request/response objects, same sqlalchemy ORM, so you can certainly take advantage of that during migration. I don't think anyone at our company regreted the path we took and it was a massive codebase that was making money - no one can afford rewriting that from scratch in $WHATEVERISCOOL today solution.

It certainly is possible - if you need any hints contact me.

Pumping water uphill is another one. A lot of farms ditch water off the property in wet months and then irritate with precious well water during dry spells. If you’re on a slope, or build a tower, you could use excess electricity to pump water from a pond to a higher point. The receiving tank becomes a battery, and the energy can be released with gravity to irrigate during droughts.

I was at a conference, last May I think, where an Elastic employee presented about exactly this topic (insecure defaults in database systems). If I remember correctly, they changed it from a commercial offering to secure by default now (before that talk already I'm pretty sure).

Instead of bothering him/the rest of the audience I left it be (was probably from before his time), but yes, I was also wondering why security was part of the commercial offering...

Anyway, past be past, this is no excuse in 2019 anymore (even if I will be hesitant with Elastic Co in the future).
> It seems like with each generation we become used to a little less freedom and a little more control.

This has probably been true to a certain extent ever since we began organizing into tribes. However, I would put forward that even if you aggregate all of the liberty concessions humankind has made for the last few millennia, it would pale in comparison to the supreme control afforded by technological improvements of the last 20 years.
Thanks for the questions. To each:
1) all of the programs we developed with our insurance partners are filed, and therefore available publicly
2) in any insurance program filing, it's important to justify rates in the context of projected losses -- looking at how similar products work in the market is an important component of how we did this, but we undertook substantial actuarial work as well to develop our pricing/rating
3) we are indeed hiring! -- https://www.vouch.us/careers#jobroles

Cantrill's blog post explicitly references the Open Compute Project's base designs -- which are Facebook's published versions of the design they use for their own on-prem servers and network. They seem to be dropping lots of hints about wanting to add manageability features on top of that, which might come with hardware tweaks of one kind or another, but having proven designs to start with at least mitigates the risks on that side of the project.

It does trace back to 2006, although the "Elon Musk, Co-Founder & CEO of Tesla Motors" byline is misleading. The original publication has him as Chairman of the Board.

What is the cause/effect here? You seem to be laying the blame at foreigners, wall street, etc for causing the housing shortage, but the cause/effect of voters/local governments prohibiting building housing -> housing shortage is pretty straightforward, I don't see why pointing it out should be "shameful".

I don't think homeowners are a unified block on this issue, but specifically the local organizations that put a lot of effort into preventing housing during a serious shortage seem to reasonably deserve some criticism. In the bay area even small proposals (like allowing 1 story of apartments over shops, or some mid-density near transit) often get killed by groups that uniformly oppose all housing.
Steam briefly had a content deal with Lionsgate, but the partnership didn't work out (very few sales) and they abandoned the idea of selling TV/Films soon after the partnership collapsed. They didn't seem able to get interest from any other studio in that time, either. (Plus they were not able to and disinterested in supporting the industry standard Movies Anywhere mutual-DRM-unlocks-assurance system, so for at least some consumers their attempt was DOA from the start.)

Of course there is. One is punitive and accomplishes no long term positive effects. The other encourages competition and subsequently innovation.

>Furthermore, this just puts mobile phones on par with landlines. It used to be that having a phone meant having a landline at home, and obviously that meant knowing exactly who a number belonged to.

Not really. Unless you lived alone, a landline was often shared with everyone in the household. Furthermore, just because there is a link (by necessity of delivering a service to a physical location), doesn't mean there needs to be a link.
This is awesome. I didn't see any mention of how much real quantum hardware is available. I guess it must be extremely expensive, or else they would quickly become unavailable due to curious people tinkering.

Interesting.

My reading of most HN threads has been in favor of more automation, objective verifiabilty, and technological use in law enforcement, e.g. body cams.

Also strong condemnation of shoot-first-ask-later habits, which are inarguably more appealing when a person is at risk instead of an automaton.

It would seem to be that those wanting police reform would be most interested in removing as much of the problematic human element as possible.

I work doing adverting for an insurance brokerage full-time and everything is lacking any obvious principle of organization.

I feel this is partly due to the 1-to-1 selling style of most insurance salespeople... it moves like molasses in a digital world.

Another issue is the wholesale price. You need to be selling a lot of a particular type of insurance to get the best pricing for your clients.

Having the market to place insurance is important. Many small commercial insurance brokerages end up having to send things to a "General Agent" who has more markets then you do but marks up the policy higher so now you are not as competitive.

Advertising is tough, very competitive. Especially now with all of these funded to the hundreds-of-millions companies like eBroker and others coming on board.

I went from sending about $18-$22 per click for commercial insurance keywords on Google Adwords 3 years ago to upwards of $28-$35 per click now.

It does, of course, but serialization is problematic (with the combination of Type inference and dynamicism this is maybe to be expected).

Beyond that there is a bewildering array of packages, and not really a clear consensus for which to use:

https://discourse.julialang.org/t/what-is-the-preferred-way-...

JLD2, which for a while seemed like an emerging consensus option has caused massive dataloss for a number of people:

https://github.com/JuliaIO/JLD2.jl/issues/55

The issue is also that Julia packages often use their own container types for convenient analysis. For example the solution type of DiffEq has a number of important features like interpolation built in. If I want to reliably save the data I got from the numerical integration, and don't want to rely on brittle/broken serialization packages, I have to extract the underlying arrays though. That would be fine if not for the fact that there is no documented way (that I've found) to initialize the solution objects from this raw data, so now I have lost access to the convenience functions.

Don't get me wrong, this is all growing pains. I am sure this will be sorted out eventually. But it's important to point out how the intersection of features that enable Julia to do things that are unheard of in other languages (e.g. DiffEqFlux, Zygote) also mean there are some things that still need to be figured out for this language (serialization, useful error messages, interfaces).
I just submitted an application, and have been chatting with Myles, who has been very helpful and responsive.

Vouch is not able to proceed with my application because I run a bootstrapped business – zero funding and no debt. Vouch's current underwriting guidelines require at least $150,000 in funding, which seems odd.

I'm not sure why this is the case - if anything, my business has a much lower risk profile, since I have fewer counterparties, and don't have the exposures that would necessitate D&O, EPL, EB, or FD.

I hope this is something that Vouch will discuss with the reinsurer. I've been looking for a service like this for years now, and I'd like to vote with my dollars.
