Mutually Human - Grand Rapids, Michigan

http://www.mutuallyhuman.com/

---------------------------------------

We are a small team of software craftsmen (10 of us right now) passionate about making people's lives better through software.

A little bit about us:

- We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US

- Though everyone here is fluent in Ruby, we're more concerned with using the
right tool for the job. In the past two months, I've worked with Objective-C,
Javascript (Backbone+PhoneGap), and a little bit of Java and C#.

- We practice a sustainable pace. We recognize that we each have lives,
activities, and families outside of work. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are
rare by design.

- We're agile, but not dogmatic about it. Our process evolves to suit our needs.

- We offer competitive salaries, health/vision/dental insurance, 401(k) + match,
quarterly profit sharing, weekly catered lunches, and a top-floor office with
snacks, guitars, and your choice of standing or sitting desks.

A little bit about Grand Rapids:

- 2.5 hours from Chicago, 2.5 hours from Detroit, less than an hour to the beach.

- Lots of great beer. Founders Brewery (a mile from our office) has 3 beers in
the Beer Advocate top 15. HopCat is a “World Class” bar on BA.
Just look here: http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/city/43

- Affordable housing. If you’re renting anything larger than a breadbox in the
Bay Area or NYC, you can afford a house here (or a much nicer rental). I bought
a nice house with a mortgage payment drastically lower than the rent of my
1 bedroom apartment in Mountain View.

- A growing economy driven by technology, healthcare, and a growing list of
startups. The energy here around the growth in technology and the support
for entrepreneurs is infectious.

A little bit about you:

- You love writing software, and you have a few years of experience doing it.

- You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not
afraid to use more. It would be nice if you use and love Ruby, but not required.

- You believe software is written for humans, not computers.

- You want to come into work every day and enjoy the people you work with.

If you're interested, send me your resume/CV and a little bit about why you’re interested:

Let's not forget that not every page is meant for humans to read, and not every reader is attempting to consume information the same high-bandwidth (visual) way.

You might think AJAX is amazing, but I call it an accessibility nightmare.
I think you actually understand it just fine but might be confusing yourself a bit.

Paying the reservation fee does just get you reduced per minute rates, but the fee is not $200/mo. The reservation fee in this example is $676 for an entire year. Once you pay that, your hourly rate for a single m1.large goes down to $0.056. My final $100/mo total is based on 24/7 uptime on that single server you've reserved.

It's hard to believe a company would "admit" to running all of these services on a single server. There's no way I would pay for a CRM or Ticketing App (relatively mission critical for many companies) that wasn't highly-available.
The reference to Amy Hoy's Charm is interesting, just because that was such an interesting (and somewhat distressing scenario, if you're into RoR and Ubuntu).

But to say that the Windows architecture is significantly better bang for the buck requires more of an apples to apples comparison. The best I can find is that Hoy describes Charm as having 3,800 interested users in Oct. 2012...The OP describes having hundreds of companies (each with a variable number of users) issuing about 1,500 support tickets daily.

(I'm not counting the traffic visits to the blog because that should be trivial, in the scheme of things, to manage...though I guess kudos for putting it on the same server as the software platform?)

I guess knowing the other costs, such as developer time/salaries, would be helpful.
There is no point in discussing this, as this entire thread will be based on assumptions and not facts. The only 'fact' one could get would be a picture of Snowden in Russia or someplace else dated very recently, but if there was such picture, it would be in the news already.

Recruiter spam ^

(edit) This is "Who's hiring" thread and it has always been a place for companies to post their own direct-hire positions. Allow recruitment agency postings and both the quality and the value of these threads very quickly go down the drain. I realize that you mean well, but that's not the thread for your ads unless you are willing to disclose the name of the companies you are proxying.
From talking to friends, most stopped "loving"* Obama years ago shortly after there was no visible difference to Bush in foreign policy, human rights, wars, etc.

I'm amazed that more people don't use Mono. Best of world to me is using Visual Studio for local development, and then deploying to a Linux server running Mono and Apache/Nginx. It's actually a lot less painful than people think, after you get ramped up a very small learning curve as to what is not supported in Mono.. And if you want to go completely free, MonoDevelop also isn't too bad, though you will find an occasional bug
Yes, it depends on the domain but outside a few industries (and low-level code) software isn't a life-or-death matter.

Infrastructure is a different kettle of fish, while it might sometimes be a life-or-death matter, generally it's just safer to seek pure robustness here: monopolies with government connections do not need to fear losing competitiveness since they can (a) manipulate the rules of the market, and (b) bind market players with contracts.

I don't like your insinuation that I'm just talking about cool hockey-stick startups; in the domains in which non life-or-death, free-market business and software colide, losing competitiveness/product-market fit is the central failure mode. And you absolutely cannot become robust against the market. You must either (1) become faster than the market, or you must (2) control the market.
What I never really got is why Simon Tatham refuses to improve the original PuTTY. He must know it is used mainly on Windows (is anyone actually using the Unix version?).

His wishlist stated that tray support was tricky (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/s...), but when I wrote the original Tray patch I was shocked to find that I could do it with a few lines of code (and I didn't have any experience with C or the Windows API)...
Then separate concerns: use MinTTY and OpenSSH. The former is much easier to review since it's just a terminal emulator, and I don't need to say anything about the latter.

Fortunately, they reinvent the program every few years. So in reality you can be in EmpowerISV for 3 years, then BizSpark for 3 years, then [thing that replaces bizspark in 2/2014] for 3 years, etc.

I've personally been in Microsoft's "let's give developers everything for basically free" programs since 2006, and am not worried that I'll suddenly face a crippling bill down the line.

Shafting little startups for a lousy grand or two really is not their business model. Think about it for a second and it'll make sense.

EDIT: To be clear, I'm not advocating gambling your business on Microsoft's goodwill here. For the same reason I don't advocate building a business that a single bill for $1,000 can kill.

The worst case result of MS pulling the rug on all their BizSpark-esque programs is an extra couple thousand dollars a year in the expense column. Here's hoping nobody here works for a shop where that would be a big deal.

How to read 300% faster in 20 min
>A book can alter your mind more than any drugs. So what's your point?

You might be surprised...
I do often break into a REPL on a python exception; but I mostly use that to diagnose the problem and restart from scratch, rather than actually editing the code inside the REPL.

This is probably because I don't have the setup required to persist the changes back down to the source file, even when that source file is different from the one actually loaded (eg in my development folder rather than the installed site-packages version.)
i was a bit coffee deprived when I read this and was starting on a teeth gnashing trollfest - but then realized it is 'JitBit' not 'FitBit' which I seemingly need to find a Windows machine to get to work...

Then was interested in this article because at our company we have 400-500 servers - mostly Ubuntu with some CentoS and FreeBSD. Lately we need WinSvr to run a BI app that generates nice visualizations for datasci to feed business/ sales.

Funny how not one sysadmin wants to touch this project... ;)

That all being said, the developer affection, in certain neighborhoods, for C# and .Net seems genuine, which makes an argument for developing an app on this platform - that seems clear.

I do not see this scaling out however. And historically Microsoft largesse (in education, research or with this startup initiative) has a way of drying up...
We're hiring at Dashboard.io (remote is fine - we have a distributed team).

Our product was first started as a data and communications platform internal to 500 Startups. Today, we're serving several other networks too, including Seedcamp, NXTP, Union Square, AOL, Angelhack. We're doing some pretty interesting stuff in the intersection of community and startup data/metrics. We're mainly looking for:

1) Ruby developers with a particular interest in data and metrics. If AARRR means something to you, or you like the idea of mining data for insights that help entrepreneurs and funds kick ass, get in touch.

2) User experience designers or front-end developers interested in crafting great products.

If you fit one of these two profiles, you'll find my contact information in my profile. We're funded and have a stellar team working with some of the greatest accelerator programs, venture capital firms and entrepreneurs out there. Looking forward to hearing from some of you.

" older ones that had, for instance, 512 megabytes of memory"

You wish :) , the best-selling Android phones here in Uruguay are the:

Samsung Galaxy Mini (384 mb of RAM and and incredibly crappy 180 mb of internal memory)

Samsung Galaxy Ace (278 mb of available RAM and 158 mb of internal memory, I own one and I'm growing to hate it)

ZTE Movistar One (512 mb of RAM)

Huawei u8652 (256 mb RAM)

If Firefox OS has better responsiveness (and especially if it enables better use of the SD cards instead of internal memory), I'll be eagerly awaiting a release for those phones.
Maybe a ducking motion?

This isn't intended to be the Holodeck - but it's a step in the right direction.

For that matter, how would you represent a jump?

That said, I'd use the hell out of it for a game like Skyrim, or other open world environments. And it can be so much more than that, .e.g. ocean/space environments for instance.

The gameplay is secondary - there are a lot of motions that can't be expressed well using this device (although with the kinect, you can unlock a lot of arm motions - good for sword play, I'd wager) - but it's superb for walking in fantasy environments.

Slow JS might be annoying but it's not particularly concerning , what is troublesome is the communication facilities of JS. I'd allow it by default if it had to request permission to phone home.

Typical worrisome cases are when a malicious script scrapes credential forms or the tracking of mouse cursor movements / page scrolling for advertising analytics.

Essentially, I'll tolerate the web server having logs of my access to the page, but what I do once I've rendered the page should be my own business.

A strong type system can do more than prove memory safety. It can guarantee that their are no unhandled cases, and that data has been properly processed before going into a certain use; however it (generally) cannot guarantee correctness.

I say generally because the Haskell type system (with some extensions) is Turing complete, so you probably code implement a code prover in the type system.
