Position: Product Generalist

What we do: Subscription based social hyperlocal mobile gamified discovery engine with loyalty deals. For the enterprise.

Just kidding. We're a stealthy 3 person team of full stack product engineers going after a huge opportunity. Everyone on the team codes and contributes at every level, front to back. We've all built web scale products and grown them to millions of daily active users with zero marketing spend. We're looking for 1 or 2 product generalists who can come in and contribute the same way on Day 1. Our product is mobile first.

We are well funded by A-List investors.

We are NOT your average stealth startup. We are NOT yet another me-too-social-local-sharing app. We DON'T sell condoms by subscription. We are NOT the place to share photos of your dog taking a leak. There will be NO gamification. We are filling a hole in the universe by building software that addresses a fundamental human need. The world is becoming a different place: everyone has a network connected super computer with ambient sensors in their pockets and we can see the future that is enabled by these devices. We are making that future happen.

Real talk: We've been running our prototype for 2 months and we all use it every day. Every person we've showed it to has asked us if they can use it. Every single person has gotten mad when our testflights expire off their phones after letting them test it.

The ideal candidate is a brilliant, fearless and passionate individual who is uncompromising in his/her pursuit of building an incredible product that will positively affect the lives of millions of people every day.

As members of a team we believe in commitment and accountability; the importance of honing our craft; building tools to create leverage; and seeking to learn from and understand each other.

We are offering founding team equity and above market salary. Retina Macbook Pro & 30 inch monitor. Office space in the heart of the SoMa district in beautiful San Francisco. Willing to relocate. Willing to fly in candidates for interviews. Willing to tell you our stealthy secrets.

Interested? Email alex at herelabs.com
I don't understand the drama either, but everyone knows it isn't that easy. As has been said many times, their network effect is what matters here, not features. I use craigslist and I hate it (seriously, something about the site irks me) but I know I have no choice if I want the best chance of finding something. I used padmapper and loved it; it was a better service.

For a good example of how strong network effects play into things, look at Google+. Seriously, if Google couldn't kill Facebook by building a better service (IMO), how do you expect a company with exactly 0 existing users to usurp CL?

TBH I don't have a good solution because I don't think regulation is the answer here. Up until about today I would have said the best value add for a service is to start by targeting sellers, and grow the buyer market later (e.g. use service X to post ads to CL, <other marketplace>, etc)
Rails Composer - "Rails generator on steroids"
San Francisco, fulltime systems/ops and engineering, Causes - http://www.causes.com/joinus

At Causes, use your programming powers to help nonprofits effect change on the world! Ruby on Rails + jQuery stack, 12-ish person engineering team, the usual startup perks (catering, snacks, soda, etc), gym membership reimbursement, etc. Ways we're trying to make ourselves better engineers:

- deliberate practice with our tools. If you are a vim user, we have the programmer who wrote Command-T on staff and he's a great person to learn from - every changeset gets pushed to Gerrit where it waits to get a +1 from our build suite (that runs in 3 minutes) and a +1 from a human reviewer

- over the last 4 months, we've upgraded from Rails 2.1 to 3.2.3 and are using the static asset pipeline, SASS/Compass, and HAML. We're the largest site I know of on Rails 3.2. We gave a presentation on the upgrade at last weeks SF Rails meetup, slides at causes.github.com/migrating-rails-talk

- everyone is encouraged to take one hour from their day to learn about something they wouldn't otherwise (aka study hall)

- every story is scoped so that it can be completed in less than a day. We don't branch, we just work on top of master. We've found that the closer we stay to master, the less needless work we create for ourselves

Causes is a great place to better yourself and better the world. We're particularly looking for a systems/ops/network engineer to help wrangle our colo. Apply through the site or adam@causes.com if interested!

If someone told me that I was a principled jerk for not thinking the way they think, I'd ask "who's really the principled jerk here?"

So we compensate for a lack of CSS libraries by mixing presentation layer with content layer. Nice.
A Bad Privacy Bug (Pinboard Blog)
I don't think its overblown. The major issue here is CraigsList owns the network for internet classifieds, but hasn't done anything to improve their product in a decade. The Craigslist experience has been diminishing ever since:

1) Spam, Scams, and false postings
2) Postings not taken down because they've already been sold
3) Terrible interface for adding pictures, uploading media to help sell.

Generally, the guy is sitting on top of a monopoly and is actively choosing to do nothing with it other than collect money, and prevent anyone from usurping his throne.

Now, is PadMapper out of line by stealing their data? Sure, why not. Is CraigsList out of line for wanting exclusive license on their listings? Probably not.

But when you add that monopoly, and then stifle innovation because you are either lazy or incompetent is not doing the world any good. My guess is - everyone thinks CraigsList works wonderfully because we haven't had an opportunity to see anything better. Its like saying Camera phones are the best thing ever, but its because you've never seen an iPhone.
It's really annoying when all these people complaining about bills like CISPA and other potentially dangerous bills don't actually mention why the bills are bad. Even the Wikipedia article on CISPA was horrible since it didn't directly quote the bill but just quoted others people paraphrasing the bill.

So what in particular is bad about this bill? http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/112/s2105/text
When computers transitioned from command line to GUI, it seemed odd too. Too many times you were required to type commands to start gui programs and were pretty much working inside the command shell to get any real work done. But that changed in a few years as most things transitioned to UI and now there's barely any reason to use a command shell.

If you see the current metro implementation, it is similar. The whole desktop is treated just as an app along with the rest of the metro apps (like command shell was in gui). This is the first version of metro and dismissing the current approach is a little premature.
Disqus (YC07) in San Francisco is looking for Front-end Engineers.

if you intend to own a firearm, go somewhere with some experience and get one that suits you personally

Good advice. In particular, it's too easy to view the gun's style. Do NOT consider that it looks cool, tough, etc. The fact that the .50 Desert Eagle looks menacing is not going to save you from the fact that you (or me, at least) just can't properly shoot a gun that's so big and powerful. Being able to use it properly is much more important.

Also, don't just assume that it's going to be an auto like a Glock, etc. IMHO a simple dual-action [1] revolver is probably a better choice for defensive situations, precisely because it is so simple. A revolver will never let you down: you can always just pull the trigger again to get to the next chamber. By contrast, autos are prone to jamming, not to mention a misfired bullet; either way, you're now at the mercy of the bad guy. Your primary concern in this area is dependability.

[1] "Dual action" means that you may cock it for better trigger pull, but if you don't, you can still fire it with just the trigger
It's not the first 11,000 - it seems they could have 100,000 apply but they select which 11,000 go in to the club. So you may be wasting your time writing a bot..

I've installed Windows 8 on my desktop and so far I find it infuriating to use. I get the feeling that the "computer as a tool" notion has been deprecated with this release, and yet the world is full of people who still need to use their computers as tools on a daily basis. Windows keeps forcing me to use metro, but all the apps I need to use throw me back to the desktop. I was constantly having to switch context throughout a normal working day.

Also, I'm annoyed that the app store is Metro only. As a result its full of junk toy apps that are again designed to take me out of the context of the desktop. The fact that you can't purchase and install MS Office through their own app store shows how worthless it is.
But Microsoft is forcing you on Metro even on the desktop, which leads me to believe that they think Metro-only is the future, even for desktops.
Seriously, link to TNW and not the source article? (http://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/story/2012/07/31/clives...)
Perhaps far down the line, for now it was just a quick hack exploring Filepicker.io and Handsontable
Ah, thanks for the correction. Apparently it is possible to support both x86 and ARM if you write Metro apps using Windows Runtime, or WinRT, not to be confused with Windows RT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_RT). The wording ("can be written") seems like a qualifier to me however, with potential gotchas. I guess the question would be whether existing Metro software is in fact compatible with Windows RT. Then there's the fact that there simply isn't much Metro software available in the first place.
Other computing devices have screen savers, so it's why many would be "mislead" to think it's an actual screen saver app that magically enables their iDevice to show screen savers.

I fail to see the link between the title plus domain of this site and opposing CISPA.

I do not think I could even call it link bait. They may as well have called it, "doyoulovebluewhales.org"...

Also, the soundtrack ruins its factual/informative presentation value and use of scripting for such a light site makes it feel unprofessional and insecure.

Some of the content and flow of information is good though. But overall just too light, lowbrow and unconvincing if I was not a techie but otherwise had half a brain to care about issues like this.

Look for a comment by msutherl, a great compilation of the design resources. Worth looking at it :)
I disagree. If you are leaving and if you care at all about the place I don't think you will burn bridges by being honest. Maybe my experience has been different, I have never left a job because of an asshole boss but more freqeuntly because either a) the environment was off or b) I had a better offer somewhere else. In those situations, the exit interview is built to catch exactly those sorts of issues.

I am still friends with my colleagues and my boss at my last job, but I told them in the interview a long list of tweaks to expectations, assignments etc if they wanted to keep folks like me around.
I plan on using the same worthsmithing they used during the last layoffs. "This is a great place to work, but due to circumstances out of my control I unfortunately have to realign and focus my goals towards other opportunites"
Apple's "custom" A4 appears to be a Samsung SoC with features that Apple doesn't need removed to reduce cost. And the A5X has a bigger GPU (MP4) than any other SoC. I would expect A6 to maintain some difference from off-the-shelf SoCs.
Why not work on a machine in a datacentre that you have terminal(s) onto? Or remote desktop/Citrix if that's your bag. You can control a machine with a quad-10gigE connection from a terminal with a 9600 8N1 connection... OK so I'm exaggerating to make my point but this scenario is exactly what so-called "cloud computing" solves.

I wish he'd touched on testability. I chose Angular for my project because it is dependency injected by default and includes mocks for common tasks. This makes is possible to do the majority of my UI testing in unit testing which is much faster and easier than using something like Selenium.
The reward structure is kinda odd. The standard model of kickstarter is "take money now, for a consumer product in the future". Consumer product, not dev kit.

It'd make more sense for the ladder to be "$300 for a dev kit as soon as we can make them, $250 for the finished product, to be released in two or three years" or whatever the actual timeframe is.
