Elemental Technologies (Portland, OR) -- http://www.elementaltechnologies.com

We have lots of open positions, but most are for Software Engineers (specifically, anyone with C++, Rails, or video expertise): http://www.elementaltechnologies.com/company/careers

We're a growing company with maybe 140 people now. Our specialty is video transcoding, and we're doing some pretty game changing stuff, especially in the areas of HEVC/h.265 and 4K. I think we were the first company in the world to successfully pull off a live 4Kp60 broadcast. We're working with many of the biggest names in the industry (ESPN, HBO, Comcast, BBC, etc.), and being involved in events like the World Cup and Olympics is a lot of fun.

Even though we have ~140 people now, Elemental still definitely has a startup feel -- almost everyone does a lot of new feature development. The team is extremely competent -- the most competent I have ever been a part of. Our products generally have 4 layers:

* A video codec written in C (with some CUDA -- we have GPU accelerated codecs)

* A C++ media engine that basically takes the aforementioned codec and does useful stuff with it (this is what I work on)

* A process manager written in Ruby

* A Ruby on Rails UI that basically takes in a bunch of user settings and converts it into an XML file that gets passed into the media engine

* We also have a cloud product that runs on top of AWS

The benefits at Elemental are amazing, and too numerous to list here. I encourage you to check them out here: http://www.elementaltechnologies.com/company/careers/benefit...

If you have any questions, please email me at john.saxton [at] elementaltechnologies [dot] com or feel free to apply via our website: http://www.elementaltechnologies.com/company/careers
Izooble - Eindhoven, the Netherlands - Lead Programmer

We're a small Dutch startup looking for an experienced programmer to co-lead a small team of 3 programmers (frontend and backend) and an intern. Tasks involve making software design and architecture decisions together with the relevant team members, hacking on features alone or together, motivating the team, and keeping tabs on our (very light-weight) kanban-esque process.

Previous leadership experience is welcome, but experienced programmers who are looking to extend their leadership skills are most welcome as well. We're not very hierarchically organized so typically you'll "lead by programming" (and code-reviewing), not by Excel and sticky notes.

In case you care, our stack is React+TypeScript on the frontend, plus SASS/Foundation for a nice responsive mobile web experience. We do cross-platform C#/Mono on the backend (no Microsoft-lock-in here: current dev team consists of OSX, Linux and Windows users), all data in PostgreSQL, and Docker for deployment. When we grow, we'll probably want to add fancy trendy data stores (like Neo4J or Redis) so you'll have plenty nice new things to work out. We don't really care whether you have particular experience with any of the aforementioned technologies, as long as you have decent full-stack web dev experience. So if you know Ruby, Python, OCaml, CoffeeScript and LESS, then hey, let's talk :-)

Izooble (https://izooble.com) is a Social Recommendation Platform for products in which people use their social networks to ﬁnd, share and buy products online. With Izooble, users get 100% personalized search results and 100% relevant content in their wall, without privacy issues and free of advertisements.

We're organised as a distributed company, currently with people in the Netherlands, Spain and Poland. One of your responsibilities will be to make sure the remote team members don't miss out on what happens in the office, so it would be good if you can be in the office quite frequently. But not necessarily daily, depending on how far away you live: We'll happily hire a good candidate who lives 2 hours away without demanding relocation.

If you're interested or have any questions, get in touch with me personally, via my HN profile. (please note, I'm currently on holiday so I might respond a bit slowly)

SEEKING WORK -- Remote (San Diego)

Rails expert -- Ruby/Rails development since 2007. Mobile (iOS/android) development. Can get you idea up and running fast. Or can save existing projects.

$60/hour -- for more information about me: http://eggie5.com
I am not good with my hands, but I am aware of the discrepancy.

I do blame fools who often spend time pontificating here as a depressing factor of my rates. Which btw are close to $100 and I am fully engaged (40+hrs) yet I believe I should be able to get more and do more fun stuff.

And yes, I do believe we are heavily underpaid, just look at lawyers for example
We have quite a few openings (all remote):

-Security Analyst: https://sucuri.net/company/employment/security-analyst-08231...

-Sys admin: https://sucuri.net/company/system-administrator-022517

We’re small company (35+), with a very culturally diverse configuration across all our teams. We have team members distributed around the world – from the US, Canada to Malaysia, Russia, Brazil and Colombia.
Frankly I don't get all the hate. I remember being in middle school and ringing my friends just once and wait for them to ring back, it was a common thing to do. This is the modern version, nothing more.
I don't know if the whole idea is dead yet, but it did seem pretty tone-deaf to do luxury party barges as a way to showcase an already hated exclusive product.
I feel the same way, if I had things to do over again I would have gone into a different and likely skilled labor field.

TLDR: perception, complex value proposition, dev project are not making enough money, wholesale / retail projects, & dev projects are expensive to sell.

Better hours, awesome power tools, significantly less politics & frustration. I like solving problems and I spend most of my time keeping clients from sabotaging their projects and dealing with syntax & communication.

A couple points I'd make:
1) Skilled labor have significant fixed costs with equipment and buildings, I have about 5k (maybe) total invested in my little home based web dev business (contact me for quality onshore+offshore web development ;). The fixed costs for skilled labor are easier to understand, for example the phrase "it was cheaper for me to higher it out than buy the tools and probably mess it up the first time".

2) Most software projects are losing money, get on a project where your work is within the direct profit stream and rates are higher, as are expectations.

3) One of the many difficult things about tech projects are that it's really difficult to understand what is hard and what is easy. Estimates are rough even after over 10 years of programming, non technical stakeholders have no idea, that goes double for the ones that tell you about all the cool tech stuff they did in the 90's. With plumbing, and almost any other skill, the value proposition is easier to see.

4) Dev's do not do a good job of appearing to be important. Like it or not perception is a big deal, I loath working with suits, and do what I can to avoid looking like them because looking professional has become synonymous with high quality hair product and low quality work. I realize if I look expensive, act like I know what I'm doing, people assume I know what I'm doing. I usually do, but I'm also usually working at home in a T-shirt, carhartt shorts, and flippy flops, but when clients seem me I dress like Bill Gates & Warren Buffet, not to slick but professional.

5) Many dev clients are not retail, they are wholesale. It's important to adjust rates based off volume & project risk. Joe Shmoe from craigslist is going to offer a low volume project, with the high risk that he's going to mess up his project and blame you because he has no idea what he's doing, those guys get higher rates. Agencies that have a good plan, reasonable volume, and a history of success have earned a lower rate.

6) Dev projects are expensive to sell compared to skilled labor projects, this means sales guys deserve a bigger cut, and since they are good at negotiating they leverage this to get as much as they can. This leaves a smaller piece of the pie for the rest of the team.
First impressions – working at Intercom
Yup. Friend of mine started his own plumbing business after working in the industry for decades. He's made more money with just himself and a few employees than he can probably shake a stick at.

I would be very surprised if your overall net income or free-time was higher being a plumber.

Plumbers run a business. If they run the business well, they can be quite financially successful. Do not expect any free-time running the business, but you might be able to retire early.

My stepfather was a plumber, and he's earned (significantly) more over his career than I'm pretty sure I will. But he had to run a successful business to get there. Maybe it's on-topic for HN after all.
To answer the OP's objection clearly - the usefulness of a single binary that works anywhere trumps any benefit from having a smaller binary, especially in 2014 when we have 1TB harddrives and 10Gbe connections.

Having python installed as a pre-req on most OSes doesn't even seem valid to me. For the project OP posted, any idiomatic python programmer today will most likely use the "requests" library, which isn't part of the stdlib.
We used node-webkit with a portable launcher (to contain registry entries and keep settings with the app on Windows) to make 2048 Portable over at PortableApps.com: http://portableapps.com/apps/games/2048-portable

It was a bit of an experiment to see how well it worked... and IF it worked. We compressed some of node-webkit with UPX to shrink it down without compressing all of it and sacrificing performance. It works pretty well though is a bit buggy. We already have a couple web games that are planning to use it to reach a wider audience (since we have a few millions users).

Installing wordpress is comparable to installing exhaust to you (although I don't think you can charge even maid's rate for that.) but ask car mechanic to install wordpress and tell me what you hear in return.
> developer+ isn't evil, it's not got crazy ulterior motives: it is us saying developers are important, and we haven't done well for them. I want you to sign up, I want you to try the services, SDKs, Docs, dev portal for a spin. If it sucks, or there are bugs, I want to know directly from you.

It's a marketing tactic. Unavailable to existing customers? Pure marketing.

"devs are important unless they already have an account"
Why not do both?

You can do contract IT work for 15-20 hours a week and then try to fill the gaps with freelance plumbing.

It will take a while to set-up: liability insurance, increasing your skill set, ect.

But, I have always believed in doing multiple, sometimes unrelated projects just so your mind doesn't go crazy.

Who knows, some day you might build a "smart toilet" and make a shit ton of money.
This is the closest thing to me. The only thing I lack is the Python & Django, not played with that in a long time. Damn.

I ran straight into this when I was doing chemistry lab demonstrating last year. The job pays pretty well for what's asked of you...but since I wasn't actually at uni at the time, it meant I had about 1.5 hours of commute for a 2 hour lab period where I got paid. Which made the rate far more ordinary.

Still doing the same thing this coming semester, but since I'll be an undergrad and it'll run straight to classes, the value proposition is much better.
