I'm not sure if it's unconventional or not but I'm a big believer in doing as much as possible correctly from the start i.e. having a dev -> staging -> production setup, clearly documenting everything, devising and sticking to a set of procedures and guidelines (for deployment, security, coding style etc.), not taking "bah it will work for now" shortcuts with fundamental design choices, using a proper bug tracker. And so on.

This adds a bit more up front planning pain to any project and also slightly slows down the daily dev routine BUT it pays dividends further down the line when you suddenly start getting noticed and your usage figures begin multiplying every 24 hours. In that situation there isn't time to re-work production dbms schemas, change the app code to deal with bcrypt'd password hashes, change the deployment script to make it more secure so you don't end up accidentally dropping a dev version of the site on your public servers etc. etc.

Better to pay the up front cost of getting the basics correct at the beginning of the project rather than dealing with an un-contained explosion later on just as you hit the limelight.

Also, the up-front pain of doing this diminishes with every additional project you do as a lot of the concepts, approaches and procedures are re-usable.

I don't know about the law, but if a company sponsors you, you probably need to stay with the company for at least a year. And, I personally wouldn't hire someone whose primary purpose for staying with the company is a girl. You didn't have to mention about it at all. But, good luck.

Your comment is a bit unclear but I think you're being positive about getting a 'trade deal' with the US.

Do you realise that the US 'delegation' for any of these negotiations are very well funded professionals who are well connected with industry and are often being groomed for industry jobs. Some of the delegates are probably actual industry reps. There will be a lot of them and they are paid to throw their weight around. And their weight is the weight of the US economy. The only people in the US who will pay attention to this negotiation and protest if it displeases them are the industry groups.

On the other side the NZ delegates are probably keen for a trade deal.

This truly a case of Lions meeting gazelles. And unless the NZ population stays informed and vocal enough this won't be a deal that brings a net positive to them.
The same reason everyone doesn't read books with one hand.

It's more comfortable to hold it with two.

Job-seekers are always advised not to be negative about past employers. In other situations it is considered prudent to avoid this kind of talk, and I think it is strongly against norms of American business.

I really don't like this blanket policy, because there are a lot of people doing bad things who deserve to be exposed.

I'm not saying people should be a dick about it. After all, most people will have at least one job or company not work out and, 9 times out of 10, the best thing to do is move on with the best terms possible. Most of these things are like a breakup, in that there isn't an issue of "bad people"; things just didn't work and the best thing for everyone is to let it go, to be good to each other if they have to interact in the future, and to avoid each other if not.

There are some cases that deserve to be blown, though. There was a startup in the 1990s that, when it was acquired, fired a few of its top performers (long story). If that's all it was, the smart thing for those people to do would be to move on, but it didn't end there. There was no severance, and the startup was forbidden, by a term in the acquisition contract, from giving any kind of reference. This was in biotech, which is more specialized and much smaller of a town. Without a reference these people were proper fucked.

When these sorts of things happen, the right thing to do is blow every whistle you can and bring the bad guys down, with the end goal being to expose and humiliate them so badly that no one ever tries to pull that again.

That may work for clearly defined product and very loose development timeline, but what when you need to make a social network based app with deadline 3 days from order, which may well be spiraling virally the day of the launch? Your security is then clearly post scriptum.

Disclaiming though, I clearly state to such clients that security will not be really up to challenge on those timelines. They usually don't care, even to a point that I don't really bother anyone with it, since I get blank stares when I discuss security with them.

> we're better off as hackers and consumers in a market with real competition

On the tablet market, the competition was decimated by the iPad, which was, objectively, overall better than any contender, and by a comfortable margin. Yes Android could potentially do stuff better than iOS, yes hardware could be non-crap, but what was going out of the door was not even in the same league at all. The only one that had real potential at some point was the WebOS based one†.

Until now.

The trouble was that if you had the balls to tell this fact you were irrevocably dismissed as an Apple fanatic.

I long for this tablet to be available outside North America.

You've got your head up in the clouds man. You actually think you'll find an employee who is loyal to your company above all other things in the world, even his soulmate? I can't help but laugh at this attitude.

Take a look through human history and find me some literature about the epic struggle of a man to satisfy his boss, above all other things, including his family and wife.

I think it is a very honorable thing to be committed to a woman (or man, or robot) and if it were me doing the hiring I'd not discriminate against someone who's actually being honest about his priorities rather than blowing a plume of smoke up my arse.

I'm here if you want to to discuss the post. I admit it was a bit of a rant.

The post was not specific about the "Bad Python" that inspired it because I didn't want to be mean to the project where I'd seen most of those things.

I'll break down the observations as follows, since at a closer look they are not specific to Python:

1) "Bad Python" is often "Old Python" - code limited to the features available in Python 2.2. In general when coding in a fast-moving language, the old ways are going to look bad.

2) "Bad Python" is often "Java Python" - Python written using Java idioms. In general, it's poor form to apply the idioms from one language to another wholesale.

3) Lastly, "Bad Python" is often simply "Bad Programming" - most of the end of the article lists things that would be poor practice in any programming language.

You can try contacting your embassy (http://denmark.usembassy.gov/) and see what options you have available. It sounds like you're pretty overqualified to be in Denmark. :)

You could also try to hit up the Robocat guys (http://robocatapps.com/) and ask if they know someone in the community who have any open positions.

I don't know how well they're doing, but Planely (http://www.planely.com/) offer visas for employees, and I imagine they'd love to have you there.

Airbnb also have a Copenhagen office, and while they don't explicitly have an open position, I imagine they'd love to make an exception for you: http://www.airbnb.com/jobs/locations/copenhagen-denmark.

I have no idea how getting a cool developer gig in Copenhagen works, but you could do worse than those suggestions.

EDIT: Oh, right, there is also the newly re-released Django People: https://people.djangoproject.com/dk/. Check out the profiles and see if any companies and openings show up.

I suppose some apps will be different but a lot share the same basic security concerns. So just figure it out once and apply the best practices you've come up with to all future projects as a matter of course. It takes time to initially figure it all out but after that there's not too much extra effort required to code securely VS just smashing stuff together to meet a deadline.

NZ isn't going into this as some naive player.

I'm not sure if you realize, but free trade deals are very important for primary-producers like NZ (and Australia).

The US has significant trade barriers in place for things like farm goods, and for many nations almost any price is worth paying to get around those restrictions.

The GP comment is because - from the NZ perspective - being able to access the US market maybe worthwhile taking some restrictions on a dying technology like DVDs.

I think it was meant in jest, but the idea behind it is valid.

I have no idea about the Danish system, hopefully it's easier than in the UK. In the UK an employer needs to apply for a sponsorship license first, then they can sponsor you, it costs money and takes many months, and subjected to a monthly quota.

Seems like Denmark is a lot easier. Their points based system still let you in without a work permit (but only with certain occupations and if you have a masters degree or better) or if a Danish employer offers you more than 375k dk ($80k US), you won't need to get a work permit either.

Android is inferior to iOS. Google Android could be on par with iOS, that's exciting and I can't wait to try the Nexus 7.

But it takes only one glance at what is released under the "Android" name for me to definitively state: Android is inferior to iOS.

But that's the point of Android. There is very, very little centralized quality control so the spectrum of quality goes all the way from the Nexus 7 down to a $99 POS Walgreens Android tablet.

I would love to have some feedback around the app.

I am also wondering on the best ways to monetize the idea. All tips would be really helpful.
> Why would you want to break out the fee into another line-item?

It's not unusual in things like concert ticketing to have a headline price of, say, $30 then when you get to the checkout there's an extra $10 in processing fees and delivery charges. I assume companies think this makes them more money than being up front about the total cost.

> Cash discounts were already legal, and a credit surcharge is just a cash discount by another name.

In one case the customer pays less than the advertised price, in the other case more.
That's a bit harsh. Granted I bailed at the end because of exhaustion and I didn't reach the expected goals. And sure the company did some gestures over those 7 months that were in my favor. I totally understand the decision to withheld the money of the hours of work done those past couple of months since the project is not delivered (I would probably do the same myself). But you got to agree those hours of work deserves at least some credit.
The funny thing about this law is that it will actually promote piracy.

The primary function of region codes is to allow license holders in different regions to release titles when they want instead of when the title is released in other regions. This way slothco in Region B can release the latest nerdgasm flick 6 months after it comes out in region A without worrying about people importing the region A bluray. That's a bad thing, since slothco paid a lot for the region B rights and any sales direct from region A are effectively lost revenue.

The thing is, even if this law worked people in region B would still have the internet. A lot of them are fairly honest and well-off people who would love to pay to watch that nerdgasm flick, but waiting 6 months for slothco to get around to releasing it is just too long!

The Slothco's of the world are in for a rude awakening if they think they can outlaw both airmail and the internet. This law is practically unenforceable. They should be focusing on bringing films to market in a timely manner. This will remove the motivation for importing out-of-region discs while simultaneously curbing piracy.

It depends on a number of things. If you've documented your communications with them and have repeatedly tried to get in touch you may feel like disclosing publicly. A year is more than enough time to fix a XSS issue, and nobody would really judge you for going public with it.

However, this might depend on where you live. Some countries (like the UK, where I'm typing this from) make testing website for vulnerabilities illegal, no matter how serious the issue or good the intentions[1]. Very few people are actually caught by these laws, but there is always a risk that you piss off a litigious company, who then go after you.
