What he said– here's some more folks we want:

Data Engineer (SF): http://jobsco.re/XoPJjX

Our aim is to help everyone at the company make faster and informed business decisions with data. You'll be playing an integral role in building tools and infrastructure to clean, store, explore, and report on the data we have here at PagerDuty. We are looking for an engineer who is not afraid to get their hands dirty with all parts of the data warehouse code base -- we solve problems using Ruby, Python, Pandas, JavaScript, SQL, BigQuery and Google Apps Script.

Operations Engineer (SF): http://jobsco.re/1qPLKtN

As a seasoned ops expert, you understand the importance and impact that good operations can have on the rest of a product and the positive ripple effects that it can have across an entire engineering organization. You have written vast amounts of code and have solved multiple problems by automating your way out of them. You have replaced yourself time and time again with your code. We don't require any experience with any particular technology, but you should have good knowledge of at least one scripting language, (Ruby, Perl, Python, etc), and have used at least one config management system (Puppet, Chef, Ansible) before.

Realtime Engineer (SF, Toronto): http://jobsco.re/1u72QB0

You’ve worked on distributed and highly available systems. You’ve had experience with different system architectures, and have opinions about what works and what doesn’t. Concepts like consistency, availability, real-time dispatching, and distributed queueing aren’t merely buzzwords for you, and you've worked on enough mission critical software to know that reliability comes from a fault-tolerant design checked by an extensive test plan.. You should have a broad background in CS fundamentals, know your way around a RDBMS, and ideally be somewhat familiar with NoSQL tech and use cases.

Senior Software Engineer (SF): http://jobsco.re/1ogPgFM

We're building out our long-term architecture and that involves designing, implementing, and maintaining new services and APIs for our users, both internal and external. You know what good and bad architecture looks like, and you want to be able to spread good architecture wherever you go. You understand the complexities of designing systems that are robust, and the trade-offs required to build something that many can use.

Senior Website Marketing Manager (SF): http://jobsco.re/XoSgdV

Are you a Marketing Rockstar with experience managing revenue-generating B2B websites and shaking up the digital marketing world? We are looking for an accomplished marketer who will help lead PagerDuty’s website. That means you are the person responsible for strategy, planning & execution of all PagerDuty’s web properties and website programs to accelerate revenue, effectively target existing and new markets, and building model for conversion and efficiency. You are a key player in driving direct revenue for the company through ecommerce, as well supporting a fast-growing sales organization that needs a growing number of qualified leads.
Oh, fantastic. Maybe we can also buy Walmart-sponsored cars that cost $200 and can only drive to and from Walmart.

Yahoo Fantasy Sports - http://sports.yahoo.com/fantasy - Sunnyvale, CA
We are the #1 fantasy sports destination on the web. Fantasy Sports is a booming industry that is growing every year and has one of the most passionate and engaged users on the web.
We have several positions that we are currently trying to hire for as we try to bring home the championship. Sports and fantasy knowledge is a plus, but not required. Just a willingness to get a little crazy and watch sports! Watching sports will be a part of your job, how cool is that? Here is what we are hiring for:

1. Data Scientist - We have some of the largest warehouses of both user generated and sports data anywhere. This is a sports nuts' dream! Apply for this if you love figuring out what users are doing and how to iterate on the product based on numbers.

2. Backend engineer - We are creating a new, state of the art backend infrastructure. Fantasy Sports is one of the most challenging backends on the web, due to the spiky nature of traffic. During an NFL Sunday, our peak RPS can exceed twitter! Apply for this if you love massive scaling and performance optimization.

3. Mobile engineer - Looking for both iOS and Android expertise. I was acquired by Yahoo last year (http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/01/yahoo-acquires-bignoggins-a...), and my goal is to make Yahoo Fantasy Sports the runaway leader in mobile sports apps. We have a great team of designers and developers, and Yahoo mobile is actually now the largest mobile development organization in the world! We are taking mobile seriously, and you can help us get there.

4. SDET - For fantasy sports, we can NOT make mistakes. No fumbles, no turnovers, nothing. Our crack team of SDETs writes automated test scripts and build testing and release infrastructure to make sure that the devs can move fast and (not) break things!

Yahoo may not be the most glamorous company in the Valley, and we definitely don't have it all figured out. Most startups let you make a big impact in a small pond, and a big company lets you make a small impact in a big pond. Yahoo is the rare opportunity to make a big impact in a big pond. There is a lot of low hanging fruit that we need to solve, and if you want to be part of one of the most epic turnaround stories in the Valley, then hit me up!

If you wanna come kick ass and chew bubble gum, hit me up at bignoggins@yahoo-inc.com!
I'm presuming that saying "a fig for the nation" wouldn't have necessarily sent you to the guillotine under Napoleon, as compared to the Jacobins shortly before him.
Ahh good one! It was those silly animations in the theme I used. I turned them off :)
Dominance of large players could be a major reason for a less dynamic economy, so your link is not really a rebuttal. Can you clarify?
If only we were so lucky. 30% of drivers in NZ drive 20km/h below the speed limit on the motorway is more like it :|
SEEKING WORK (Ruby, PHP, JavaScript) - Remote - EST

(Karma 34 account.)

I can only see that comment as this argument:

You REALLY think that dead civilians are on the heads of those countries defending themselves from military takeovers by non-democratic juntas, like Putin's.

Ah wait!

You also claim that this about large Russian military support of the rebels is just another Western conspiracy.

After the Krim takeover, Putin thanked the responsible Russian army units for good work and handed out medals. Before the Krim takeover, Putin claimed that there were no Russian military involvement. An obvious lie.

It is ridiculous to even consider that there are "just volunteers" again. The similarities makes it look like excerpts out of some internal Russian play book of how to do military takeovers.

Especially since there are contradicting satellite pictures, recorded conversations, etc. From USA and Ukraine.

Edit: Mainstream news references, not "therealnews", of moved tanks. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/06/14/us-ukraine-crisis-...

Edit 2: There are similar articles about the BUK anti air system (with varying explanations out of Moscow and interviews (/social media) with rebels). There have also been articles about satellite pictures showing Russian artillery firing on Ukraine military units. Google yourself. Then you have recorded discussions of Russian and rebel discussions, etc, etc. Again, this is mainstream over the last few weeks -- let me know if you really need me to Google for you. Here is the BBC with voice recordings etc. Denied (with demands not to lay blame!!) from Putin. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-28357880

Edit 3: Russia shot artillery at Ukraine (just more lies, of course): http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-28476153

Edit 4: Anything else I should Google for you?

Edit 5: Is this your position? You seem to not argue against that Putin lied about military involvement before the Krim takeover. You claim that there aren't enough proofs (and/or that all Western media lies) that his junta is doing exactly the same thing now, just because it looks so similar in action/time? (I am sorry if this makes you sound stupid/dishonest, but...)
using Haskell now as a side effect

Very clever.
Ah, yes I could see various FI's being a fantastic market for this.

To really get entrenched they could price it at serious enterprise pricing, build case studies, do enterprise sales etc. and could make some serious money with the right sales/marketing.
Good lord, would people please stop taking the weakest part of my statement? Let's discuss the substance of this law.

WalmartLabs - Clojure Developer. San Francisco (full time) or US remote.

You can work on Clojure at quite a few companies, but rarely can you impact millions of people at such a personal level. Walmart's mobile apps are highly rated and the services we write to support them are the base of that success.
We started from a small company acquisition with a single product. Today, we power a platform and a suite of products running on mobile devices and systems in retail stores.

Our team has a unique environment. We're still a small, flat team of engineers. We work with our own tools and make our own build-or-borrow decisions. Our culture is a healthy mix of sharing and pushing each other to be better at our craft. For example, we pair program when it best suits the task. We use pull requests & code reviews liberally. We make refactoring time. We deploy often, with a single line of code run from a REPL. Engineers on our team are challenged to work through our full software stack and be part of our product and project management. We believe that people are more engaged, fulfilled and happy when they feel responsible for actually shipping their work.
What we're all about

The environment at WalmartLabs balances moving fast and breaking shit, with the knowledge that we could break shit for 140 million people every week. It's a tough balance but we've found the payoff to be worth the challenge and responsibility.

Some aspects of our work that are important to us:

- high performance distributed systems
- robust & well-factored codebases
- simple & fast deployments
- automating the hell out of operations
- thorough system test coverage
- managing our own development process and work backlog
- pair programming when it makes sense (locally and remotely)
- contibuting back to the clojure & open source community
- having an engaging team culture and environment

What we do:

- write all our production systems & tools in Clojure
- create and orchestrate massive distributed systems
- spin up RESTful web services for consuming & ingesting large volumes of data

We are just a part of:

- Walmart is the world's largest retailer and one of the world's top online
retailers. The scale of challenges and potential impact is enormous.
- Walmart is actually a group of retail businesses spread all over the world
including Sam's Club, Asda (UK), Massmart, Walmart International
- WalmartLabs is a software development shop responsible for tools, platforms
and applications for new products in all Walmart businesses. These
include platform tools, data analytics & machine learning, search engines,
mobile applications and physical retail tools.
- WalmartLabs Mobile builds mobile applications and backend services for all
Walmart businesses.

I was quite possibly one of them! I recommend Conceptual Mathematics at every opportunity. It's a wonderful first CT book. Aluffi is a bit more ambitious in scope—you leave with a broader understanding of abstract algebra at large as interpreted through CT when useful.
The ROI thing is an interesting idea. We have done some case studies and trials for potential customers. This is more of a knee jerk reaction to the cost, and a negotiating tactic.

It's a tool for purchasing so not sure how it could translate to profit, but interesting idea.

The value proposition breaks down differently for different stakeholders.

For low level employees that currently email and work on the spreadsheets all the time, it would make their lives a lot easier. Although it does run the risk of eliminating their job.

For mid level managers that typically make the decisions based on all this data, it would make their decisions easier and better informed. They are likely to be able to save a lot of money. Perhaps as high as 4 or 5 percent of the budget off a 10-200 million dollar spend. The possible downside is that it will be less at their discretion who to choose for the vendor. Cost is not the only consideration, but it will easily quantify the difference in choosing one vendor over another. Currently I think the vendors schmooze the decision maker and that influences their decision. This tool will make that hard because they don't have control over how the "numbers" are presented to the higher ups.

For high level managers, they are interested in the savings. Although this system would make it easier to replace the mid level guy because all the info isn't buried in their email and spreadsheets on their desktop.

One other issue is that the ultimate decision maker will come from the high level guys because the cost is so high.

Denver here. I'm not sure about Ft. Collins, but Boulder does have a decent startup culture and while I currently work in Denver, I have seen a lot of companies located in Boulder that sparked my interest. A few companies have either moved to Denver or opened a second location in Denver for convenience though. A lot of developers I know make the commute from Boulder to Denver, but with traffic it can be a pain.

>You don't see the irony of complaining about a "false equivalence" complaint

Complaining about "false equivalence" complaints that have yet to have been made, rather. Just like the PHP people who preemptively defend PHP in threads before it has been criticized.

The PHP people have an excuse though: they're punch drunk from being constantly attacked. Attacking Russia is attacking from the herd, and very easy to do. The last thing anyone who cares about truth should be doing is discouraging dissent from the herd.

I have to say that the tradition of accusing people of setting up false equivalences by daring to even compare any aspect of America the Incomparable to places like Iran, Russia, or China is a reprehensible one, too. The confidence in the tautological superiority of every aspect of the US to every aspect of every other country is why clearly broken things about the US can remain broken for decades (like health care, etc.)

It also exposes a sensitivity (thus a recognition) of the critique. In all forms of analysis that I'm aware of, the way you examine things that are broken or eccentric is to compare them to things that work correctly or in a straightforward manner through noting the differences. If you do that between the American and Russian media, you will quickly realize that you're working with two horribly broken systems, and it's about as worthwhile as comparing a kick in the nuts to a punch in the face.
SEEKING WORK - Remote or on site (NYC)

My firm (http://www.mathandpencil.com/) currently has some free time and looking to take on new, interesting projects.

Some examples of our work are here: http://www.mathandpencil.com/projects.

We are currently finishing off two new web services that will both launch at the beginning of September. (hence looking for new work)

Skills:

* iOS

* Django/Django Scaling on EC2

* Ubuntu

* D3.js

* Backbone.js

* Any sort of design work (graphics,css+html,business cards, etc)

* Postgres/Mongo

* Numpy/Scipy/Pandas/etc.

I'm always in the market for data science /statistics consulting projects - if anyone needs help also.
Without going into too much detail, his business was severely hampered in development for several years because they couldn't find good (extra) personnel. i.e. kids that graduated only wanted to work for bigger firms, had wage demands he didn't consider sustainable, or simply didn't seem good enough.

During that period they tended to focus on bringing in as much big projects as they could by being friendly with architects and project developers. It's easier to do more with a tiny team if you can batch work on a single site. Getting a good reputation in terms of quality and delivery was obviously very important there - you do not want to race to the bottom on prices.

Around 2008, shortly after the financial crisis, many business got into problems, often also because customers were insolvent. Suddenly it became easier to hire more people, and he did expand the number of workers, and consequently the business, at that point, but never more than what they could reasonably check up on himself. (I reminds me a bit of the story where just after the .com crash, Amazon suddenly announced that for the first time in their history they'd made a profit)

It was basically a slow, very careful growth, taking opportunities when they presented themselves. Customer satisfaction was very important. If you leave people in the cold, literally, they will remember and tell others. This means leaving the house to fix stuff at 10pm Sunday evening in the middle of the winter.

Elation EMR - SF, CA (REMOTE welcome, too!)

We build really great clinical tools for physicians because technology in healthcare is generally pretty shitty and serves stakeholders who aren't patients or even their doctors.

Here's a fuller and less petulant description of what we're up to: https://www.quora.com/What-product-is-ElationEMR-building

We're about a dozen people now, mostly in SF but some of us are remote, so REMOTE welcome. We're also open to VISA but we're still in the process of figuring out how that works and getting our ducks in a row.
