"I would hate to get 100+ emails a day, how do you get anything else done?"

I run 200+ most days and a LONG time ago (decades ago) I set up three rule based inboxs or whatever you want to call it, the junk that I know is junk and will not look at unless I'm actively searching, could be important but probably isn't (more or less the default), and the real inbox which is very carefully filtered, only certain from addresses and certain subjects.

The name of the game is making as many rules as possible to permanently shovel junk out of your official inbox and as few rules as possible to shovel real content into your "real inbox"

To say people get personally offended if they are (in their incorrect opinion) miscategorized would be a profound understatement. Always pretend you're incompetent WRT email (I've only been using email on the internet since 1991, I'm a total noob, so sorry) and I have no idea how to write rules and regexes when confronted.

About 3/5 of emails I get I delete without looking at in one folder, 1/5 I just glance at the subject line in that folder about once a day (usually the morning) and then delete, and the remainder I actually care about enough to read. Of those I read, most are irrelevant read and delete. In terms of actual actionable items I get about one per weekday from email.

Is it "safe" to simply delete emails, unread? Sure. I honestly forget stuff occasionally, probably more often than I incorrectly delete email.

The more intense the CYA culture, the more emails are sent but the fewer are read. It inevitably converges on a blogging model where everyone could read what everyone else is doing, but no one actually reads anything because there's just too much. If you send an email you've proactively given yourself the opportunity to blame the victim, who doesn't like that?

Is it really easier to face one big nearly monopolist opponent instead of two who're fighting against eachother? Also one important obstacle for the adoption of Apple products was the common notion that there's no plausible alternatives to buying a PC. That's why they invested heavily in sending the message of pluralism - "think differently" etc.
I am not sure what the EU-wide regulations are.

In NL, employees are hired per term. Meaning you have a 6-12 month contract, and if the employer wants to lay you off or fire you, he has to pay out the rest of your contract. There are some exceptions of course (1 month period at the beginning where either party can terminate, gross negligence, stealing, absence, etc). After 3 years the employee and the employer have an 'indefinite' contract.

This system means that if the employer needs to reorganize, it needs to do so with some government involvement (a sort of civil court which looks at the case). Usually the employee is compensated in some way... usually based on how long the employee has worked there and how bad the financial situation is at the company. "We have lots of cash on hand but our board of directors didn't approve the budget" wouldn't go over very well with the courts, I presume.

The system has it's downsides (employers are cautious to hire), but it also means that you can't just fuck around with your finances and lay-off / furlough your employees because you don't feel like making important decisions. An employer can't just shift the financial burden of bad planning to the unemployment system.

Veer West (FormAssembly.com) - Bloomington, IN USA - REMOTE OK - H1B OK

We’re looking for another passionate and experienced developer to
help improve and expand our web-based application, FormAssembly.

As the ideal candidate, you can craft code that’s robust and easy
to maintain, switch between back-end and front-end development,
and keep usability and user experience in mind at all times.

You’ll work primarily on our PHP and Javascript code, and
occasionally on new projects with a clean slate, for which you’ll
help pick the best technologies, architecture, and tools.

You’ll work autonomously or with the team depending on the
project, and will get many opportunities to share, teach, and
learn from your coworkers.

Your work will get in front of tens of thousands of users and help
make data collection easier for a lot of people, from universities
enrolling students to large well-known corporations improving
their business processes.

Veer West is a small, bootstrapped and profitable company. We have
a large and demanding customer base in a very competitive market,
so we're always looking for ways to improve ourselves and make a
more reliable, secure and useful product.

Position is full-time, local or remote.

Email me at cedric at veerwest dot com or visit our job page

1) Yes. I'm 28 and began coding 6 months ago. I guess that the biggest challenge for people like us was how to get education. I couldnt spare 4 years of my life in a university. But MOOCs changed this. A few courses on edx/coursera, and will be ready to do great things.

2) I guess that, before you think in specialize into something, you must ask yourself what you must learn before that. You need to be confortable with databases and the infrastructure process (version control, deploying, testing, etc.)

Go look the SaaS course on EDx.

3) I recommend you start with python. It is easy to learn the basics and have a great community. You will find many libraries to help you achieve what you want, and your questions will be answered quickly in stackoverflow or something like that.

4) Again, MOOCs are the aswer. If you find time to be always doing 2 courses at the same time, in 6 times you'll be in grate shape. seriously.

The problem is using a binary vocabulary to describe something that should be on a spectrum. Just because I use an asynchronous medium doesn't mean that I don't expect a reply in a "reasonable" time, and "reasonableness" will depend on the situation and hopefully both parties are in some agreement.

Think of an asynchronous ajax call. It may be ok to wait 5 seconds, but not 5 days.

I find far more intrusive the phone call that could have been taken care of via email. I deal with this because a community service group I work with has a lot of elder people. They like to call. Yes, I understand it's Tuesday, and we have a meeting Friday, but I can answer you in two hours (by email). Don't interrupt me right now (by calling). But it can't wait two weeks.

San Francisco, CA - Zenbox. Software Engineer. [LOCAL | RELOCATE OK]

We're a YC company wrangling SaaS to work together (as they should), starting by bringing the biggest apps our customers use right into Gmail. We've been growing our team over the past few months, and looking to add even more awesome people.
We work with dozens of API's to show our users profiles of their customers without having to jump out of the email flow - imagine having http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtzqRSlgqkw available when helping customers.

Thousands of people use it every day for hours on end, and are happy to pay for it to make sure they can continue using it. But there's still so much polish and improvement possible.

We also spend time improving our tooling, and tools for other developers. As one example we've recently vastly improved the source-map capabilities of the ClojureScript compiler and added reified keywords to the runtime to make ClojureScript a better citizen on the web. We do it because we want to give back to the communities that have enabled us, because it helps us, and because it's interesting.

Looking for an engineer who loves the craft, who cares about building product, and is excited about helping customers. We're building a team that's able to reduce complexity others balk at into simple, easy to reason about system, so we can continue to move quickly and delight both customers and ourselves.

This is both UI and backend work.

Languages: Clojure, Clojurescript, Javascript.

Kira Talent (https://www.kiratalent.com) - Toronto, Canada

At Kira Talent, we help employers spot top talent earlier in the hiring process through timed video interviews.

A bit about us:

* we’re a small team (you’d be #12), based in the heart of downtown Toronto

* we’re well funded (we just raised a $2M seed round) and have had paying clients since day 1 of the company

* we’re hiring designers and all types of devs -- mobile, frontend, backend, analytics

* we think even enterprise software can be beautiful, and pride ourselves on our design

* every single one of our developers have committed code within their first day at work; some within their first hour

Here’s some stuff we’ve been working on lately:
* building infrastructure to allow us to scale our video recording and streaming

* re-building the UI-heavy sections of our product using AngularJS

* designing and creating our mobile suite for both job candidates and employers alike

* presenting analytics data captured in our product to the end user, and our team internally

We use Python/Django, JavaScript (jQuery, AngularJS), ActionScript, MySQL (and some MongoDB), but you’d be free to choose your own tools and libraries.

If this sounds fun, let’s chat! My name is Konrad, and you can send me a note at konrad@kiratalent.com. :)
In an ideal world where cost of a product is directly linked to the actual value it delivers... I would have gladly taken that offer ;) .

Paid internships are generally above minimum wage. My lowest paid internship was $10/hr, highest was $15/hr. Interns, however, are not legally supposed to be doing production work or run-the-business kind of work. They're there as a learning experience similar to a classroom. They can do project work and attend meetings.

Interns generally aren't classified as workers. They're getting experience in exchange for their time. The employer can't immediately gain from an intern's work. As long as the employer follows the guidelines of the intern regulations, they don't have to follow minimum wage or pay the intern at all (similar to how students don't get paid by their university for attending class).

Buffer (http://bufferapp.com) - REMOTE (We're a small distributed team of 13 people across the US, UK, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Sweden and Australia)

I'd love for you to come join Buffer for the fun ride. We just crossed 1 million users and are on a $2m annual revenue run rate. There are some super interesting challenges ahead to scale Buffer as we start to focus on Buffer for business.

We're looking to expand our engineering team with the following open positions.

* DevOps Engineer

* Backend Engineer

* Front-end Engineer

Here are some key stats about our technology and scale.

- we have over 150k monthly active users.
- 6700+ API clients. Most popular: Feedly, IFTTT, Pocket, Zapier
- we release changes several times a day
- we have an entirely data-driven process, with Einstein and Buffer-Metrics, our custom built a/b testing and metrics tracking framework.
- Some of the tech we work with: PHP, Python, MongoDB, AWS (Elastic Beanstalk/Auto scaling, Elasticache, SQS), Backbone.js, Grunt.js, Android, iOS.

More stats and stack insights here: http://overflow.bufferapp.com/2013/08/01/scaling-buffer-in-2...

We're a small team of driven hackers and happiness heroes (our support people). Just like you, we're excited and passionate about engineering challenges and have some interesting architecture and scaling problems we work on.

If you're interested in coming on board, you will:

- work closely myself on technical architecture and Joel on product.
- ship to hundreds of thousands of people who use Buffer and iterate quickly
- work with our metrics team to make smart changes
- be friendly and comfortable talking directly to customers on issues and features
- be a happy, positive-minded and kind person who has a great approach in dealing with others
- be a Buffer user
- be anywhere in the world, and if you'd like, you'll have help and support from us to move to where you want to be
- have experience working with another startup or building side projects before (would be awesome, it’s cool if not)

Some aspects of Buffer culture that makes us a little different:

- we are entirely transparent. We raised $450k, we currently have 1 million users and generate $175k/mo. Ask me anything else!
- within the company, all salaries and equity are open and we have a formula for the distribution.
- we're all very focused on self improvement - we have daily standups where we discuss our current improvements. This could be waking up earlier, starting public speaking, blogging, exercise, learning a language, etc.
- here's our culture deck: http://www.slideshare.net/bufferapp/buffer-culture-03

Salary: 88k-110k depending on location (living costs) and experience. (http://99u.com/articles/15527/the-age-of-salary-transparency)

Equity: 0.5-1%

If this sounds fun, let's chat. Send me a note about yourself, why you’re interested in Buffer, and any relevant links (Github profile, projects and background): http://jobs.bufferapp.com

> Is it wrong of me to have started learning programming at the age of 30? Do my attempts mean squat if I didn’t start the same time as you did?

Maybe it would be worth to consider whether your attempts should be as public as they are. Why does everything has to be made public immediately? Continuous delivery does not mean pushing out sub optimal work just because you can and because nobody has to pay for it.

> I don’t see you guys taking up cudgels with Pascal because he wrote treatises in Physics and Philosophy both, do I?

Comparing yourself with a genius is probably not the most humble way of discussing the issue.

"your problem is solved forever"
That might be true in your experience, but I see things differently. There are plenty, and I mean plenty, of bugs that only crop up in specific versions of software or specific distro configurations, and due to the customisability of Linux systems tracking down solutions to those bugs can be problematic.

Skills with Linux tools help diagnose the issue, but they don't always point to an obvious solution. As I mentioned earlier, I often have issues with sound in Linux, especially when trying something beyond the stock configuration (e.g. JACK interfacing with PulseAudio and ALSA). The graphics stack in Linux is slowly improving, I don't see why the same can't be done for audio. RTFM shouldn't be a requirement for basic functionality (graphics, sound, input, networking).
Nairobi, Kenya

Launching public cloud to the African continent using OpenStack. Amazon Web Services won't come here so we're building it right now.

The company is in the seed stage but you'll be working with me (former NY startup CTO), this guy James (awesome local DevOps person), and another guy Anthony (Princeton grad with a finance background).

We're just getting started but have a server up already and will be launching to the beta list later this week.

I can pay for a plane ticket and a small salary but this won't be about big monthly dollars - rather it will be about doing something super cool in a place that's super cool and where on the weekend you can literally drive out of the city and camp where you hear hippos at night and see lions during the day and hike an extinct volcano.

Oh, and you'll also become part of an amazing tech community that's thinking big.

Contact me at adam@kili.io if you're interested in doing 2 months or more or if you just want to find out what it's all about.

Cheers,

Adam
