TeachersPayTeachers (TpT) - http://www.teacherspayteachers.com @ New York, NY

# Tech Lead # Systems Engineer # Internal Automation Lead # Tech Lead - Search # Software Engineer - Data Engineering # General Software Engineer

We're building out a new engineering team at an established startup in Ed-Tech. First, a little bit of who we are:

TpT is the world's first and biggest online open marketplace where teachers buy, sell, and share original educational materials. Our community of over 3 million active teachers connects and shares knowledge on the site every day, and has generated over $100 million in sales of some of the best, original, most creative classroom resources.

Where you come in: although the company has a lot of users and strong reputation, only now are we building out our NYC engineering team to build out TpT's future. We're looking to build a tech dream team that'll be our core. This a green field opportunity to set the engineering culture and how we organize ourselves going forward while maintaining an app at high traffic and still growing!

We're putting together a 'dream team' so to speak of engineers who will be the core of our NYC team. The site is a monolithic architecture of PHP/MySQL/NGINX and we're breaking it down into SOA.

nonono read the rest I love the VIM!

But... there's an abundance of internet quotes like "No other editor stands next to vim" (see parent comment), so I wanted to make sure the reader didn't think I was proselytizing.
Can't confidently say it's not safe to eat either. So why be a stick in the mud?
Yes it externalizes it. But it centralises it too, making it easier to keep it clean. It also removes the pollution from town centres making them much pleasanter places to be. The total efficiency of burning oil in a large power station to power electric cars is generally is slightly better than burning the oil (which must be much more highly refined) in an internal combustion engine even if it is a hybrid.
I think it makes more sense when you know that Rob is the creator of Soylent.

sorry, but I can't take someone who doesn't cook because soylent is more efficient seriously.

edit: ah, he's the creator of soylent. even less reason to take his seriously. humans are not supposed to live off a drink. I've always assumed it was a joke product, but I'm begining to realise that unfortunately it's not.

Still, he can drink his algea, and I'll keep eating what I eat. Each to their own

Entelo - San Francisco (SOMA), CA - Full-time - http://www.entelo.com/ ; ONSITE only, no remote at the moment.

Our mission is to help organizations build diverse, cohesive and better teams. We've been building a variety of hiring solutions to help companies like Facebook, Salesforce, Zenefits and Lyft leverage the wealth of information online to find amazing prospective employees and make better hiring decisions. The sales and marketing worlds have many solutions that enable them to be more efficient and productive and it is our belief that we can adapt the best that sales and marketers have to recruiting/talent departments.

We're currently looking for a variety of positions including:

-Sr. Backend Engineer/Architect: Our backend team deals with crawling, parsing and normalization of hundreds of millions of social profiles (i.e. Linkedin, Github, Twitter) and use complex algorithmic and statistical methods to match disparate social profiles. We have used a combination of Scala/MongoDB/RabbitMQ but have been looking towards using Go/Postgres/Java on the backend instead.

-Lead Data Engineer: We're looking for someone to help us continue to build out our analytics framework for prediction of when people are most likely to be looking for a new opportunity. We use Amazon Redshift for data warehousing but are open to those that have extensive experience with big data stacks (Hadoop, Spark, Storm, Kafka, etc.)

-Sales Operations Manager: As a fast-growing SaaS company that's still young (45 total employees), we're looking for someone to come in and own Salesforce and all the integrated softwares we use. The ideal person should be fascinated with building a great Salesforce instance and enjoy working alongside Sales, Marketing, Customer Success and Operations/Finance. Our business teams would be your customer.

If you're interested in any of our open positions, you can reach out to me directly (I'm the founder) at jon at entelo dot com
One thing Google Reader did great was "sort by magic" where it somehow knew VERY well according to my individual tastes what article I'd be most interested in reading from my massive set of subscriptions. Feedly and other readers' auto-selected articles don't seem to have come close, but that may be a function of their reduced userbase and shrinking RSS activity.
As another user hinted at, this article is completely back-asswards.

>I have not done laundry in years. I get my clothing custom made in China for prices you would not believe and have new ones regularly shipped to me. Shipping is a problem. I wish container ships had nuclear engines but it’s still much more efficient and convenient than retail. Thanks to synthetic fabrics it takes less water to make my clothes than it would to wash them

>Thanks to synthetic fabrics it takes less water to make my clothes than it would to wash them

>Thanks to synthetic fabrics it takes less water to make my clothes than it would to wash them

I had to double post this again just to make sure everyone read that line correctly. What argument are you even trying to make anymore? You use less water? Weren't we just talking about energy? What hipster madness is this? How about the amount of coal that is being burned to make your 'custom' clothes. I am 100% sure that the process of getting water and electricity to your house is less environment killing than getting new things made from factories that have zero regulations, and fuck everything let's just get some money in my pocket strategies.

You haven't done anything but say "okay let's see my most carbon producing areas are," and your only solutions are "let's see if someone else can help me reduce my carbon by taking the responsibility off of my own shoulders"

This was absolutely craptastic.

It gets to me as well. I thought it might have just been my lack of skills, but I've had this conversation across several fields with recruiters who have said similar things.

The best description I've heard is that it's a spectrum from "100% training provided" to "productive on day one." Older recruiters tell me that decades ago the spectrum was too far in the other direction -- willing to hire anyone, and piling on the training. But now it's too far the other way, dropping good candidates who aren't able to perform independently on day one.

Feels pretty accurate. The real source of the problem is political, meaning how people perceive tech in modern days. It's very different when you look at IT business history.

Going mainstream implies major changes, which are not technological, but still exclude many players because big corporate players bring immense business differences.

To be honest, skill and intelligence never mattered when it's about success. Humans want to be happy, technological progress interests nobody. That's where the "overskilled" comes from.
cui bono

What are they doing with my data?
People will pay a premium for convenience.

Also the convenience could allow them to sell these as individual drinks in grocery stores and convenience stores.
> Most indies aren't using Maya or 3DStudio Max because the price is too high.

Unless you define indies strictly as amateur/hobbyist I seriously doubt this. All the 3d guys i know (freelancers, small interactive studios, independent developers etc. - none affiliated to a mayor publisher) use Maya or 3D Studio Max.

It's the same as with the Adobe Suite or MS Office - once you consider labor costs, licenses become a second thought if you use something professionally and earn money doing it.

That being said, I don't really see this having a big market either, nobody seems to have any major issues integrating with unity or unreal for now.

FundApps [http://www.fundapps.co] | London, UK | Full stack UI Engineer

I’m CTO at FundApps, recently recognised as one of the top 50 fintech startups in Europe. We're a completely bootstrapped startup that sells a web service that automates financial regulatory compliance. We're a company of 15 right now, and somewhat unusually for a startup are growing rapidly through acquisition of customers rather than funding.

We're looking for a full-stack engineer with a focus on user experience to work closely with our UX and Visual designer. You'll take a huge role in shaping the evolution of our product - from tackling those small tweaks that can have an immediate impact for customers through to the broader user experience and the technical approach we want to take.

This isn’t some shiny but vacant consumer app. There’s real complexity both in terms of volumes of data that we deal with, and how we visualise the results of hundreds of rules running across thousands of portfolios – in a way that’s simple, understandable and easy to manage.

More here: http://fundapps.workable.com/ or email me direct - james@fundapps.co if you have questions. Thanks!
Do those analyses also account for the energy needed to build the batteries? From the wikipedia link, it looks like they don't.
I see, and as mentioned in others comments it's probably more marketing than anything else. But the argument "doing X is for robots" is quite flawed when X can be improved in a lot of ways
what does "complete nightmare socially" mean? :)
There are several reasons younger developers are sometimes valued over older candidates. Work life balance is part of it, but there are other factors at play. This is a pretty well trodden topic, and you can find a lot of the typical discussion points by Googling. A common explanation, for instance, is that experience in tech doesn't accrue a ton of value due to tech obsolescence - 20 Cobol experience doesn't really translate to much of anything these days.

However, rather than re-hash all that, it's worth taking a look at the numbers - numbers that absolutely indicate a younger skewing workforce. For instance, the average age at Facebook is 26, and 31 at Google. Tech as a whole leans young, with the "oldest" tech company workforce (HP) still younger than the national median [1]

Now, whether simply having a younger workforce points towards actual age discrimination is a matter of fair debate. A perfectly reasonable explanation might be that tech is a young field, hence a young workforce. However, there are enough confounding factors (limitations of experience, work/life balance in dev roles, etc.) that certainly make for rational arguments in favor of age being more of burden than boon.

Then, of course, you have stuff like this :

> "Young people are just smarter. Why are most chess masters under 30? I don't know. Young people just have simpler lives. We may not own a car. We may not have family. Simplicity in life allows you to focus on what's important." -- Zuckerberg

True or not, it would be weird to argue that his opinion is somehow a rare isolated outlier. It speaks to a common conception - both in the valley and in tech - that this is a business for the young.

Agreed. And we need good meetings. But we shouldn't assume that no meetings is better than good meetings.

I presume the biggest difference has already been discussed previously: the switch from powder to liquid? Liquid definitely seems more convenient but apparently more expensive (to ship as well). I suppose this was inevitable but surprised that the appears to be deprecating.
But then it loses something, and you end up with Diablo. Not that Diablo is a bad game, but it's a decidedly different kind of game than Zelda.
I agree about these difficulties, but remain incurably optimistic. Actually I've been thinking about piracy as an example of resilient networks run by volunteers. For example, every little student dorm I lived in had its own DC++ server, run by dorky volunteers. Of course that's different from a blog platform with mass appeal, but it's something.
