Not OP but I don't think we'll bounce back as quickly due to the lack of urgency coming from the Federal government. I suspect we'll fall into a vicious cycle of business layoffs, corresponding dip in consumer spending, reduction in r&d/business investment as we are now and after cases taper off which now seems even further away than what it could've been had the CDC/FDA/WH been on top of this earlier. Some countries took the threat seriously and immediately took care of things.

What You'll Do - Collaborate closely with the CEO and other team leads to create dev team priorities - Set the technical vision and roadmap for the company - Rollout infrastructure incorporating CI/CD - Lead development of a stable backend/API that puts the customer experience above all else - Lead a team of developers with up to date and relevant knowledge - Work on various front end applications - libraries/frameworks don't matter. - Help optimize processes for operations/logistics - Have extensive say in not only technical but also business decisions - We're a startup - when it comes down to it, you’re able to roll up your sleeves and contribute wherever needed

About You - Demonstrable projects and results from 7+ years of relevant experience - Experience managing a team of developers - Experience with Agile processes (Scrum, Kanban, etc) - Full Stack Experience.

There's a record button in the Coverage tab - the solid filled circle. Allows you to record over multiple pages (either a SPA or normal site).

UrbanStems | Mid-level Developer | Washington, DC | FULLTIME, ONSITE, https://urbanstems.com

UrbanStems, a same-day flower delivery e-commerce experience, is looking primarily for mid to senior level backend developers. We are vertically integrated with our own supply chain, fulfillment & delivery, and customized e-commerce platform optimized for a great customer experience. As you can imagine, technology plays an important part at every step of that process. We're looking for more engineers/developers to help build out features for our internal usage and for our customers' delight. You'd have a lot of say and room to experiment. Our API is primarily in NodeJS. Our front-end is a React/Redux application. We absolutely love PostgreSQL with PostGIS and Redis. Lambdas are becoming a new favorite for services. A full stack developer would be ideal but if you're more comfortable with the backend then that's totally okay (i.e. if you're focused on front end dev, this position isn't going to be interesting for you. But reach out to me in the fall).

We'll pay for relocation if you aren't in the DC area.

4+ years of experience

- Backend languages: NodeJS/Python/Ruby/<insert language here>

- Datastores: PostgreSQL (or SQL in-general), Redis, etc

- Building APIs (internal/external)

- General understanding of DevOps

(Awesome to have) 1+ years

- Front end JS (React/Backbone/Angular/etc)

- HTML/CSS knowledge

Email me with your resume and blurb about a project you love(d) working on and why. Chetan Shenoy - [email protected]

You could have chosen to have a productive and civil conversation about the immigration restrictions and how they're related to actions taken by President Obama. Instead you chose to make blanket accusations, inane assumptions about everyone here, and resorted to unnecessary name-calling. Why?

> ...but i dont really think it has a large cultural impact. aside from trump this election cycle i feel most 'famous' tweets are about as significant as here come dat boi.

That's absurd. I've seen numerous articles in online entertainment media sites (e.g. People, US Mag, TMZ, Buzzfeed) that are solely made up of embedded tweets. CNN and MSNBC (and even Fox News) reference tweets all the time. Maybe Twitter as a company has failed to monetize the platform properly and shareholders have taken a loss but to downplay Twitter's cultural impact seems largely misguided.

Not trying to defend anyone here but I think you're making the wrong comparison. React (the library) isn't changing. Just like Elixir, JavaScript (the language) is changing for the better and almost everything is backward compatible. What folks are upset with here is react-router, an optional, third party routing library dependent on React. Authors should be allowed to improve their own projects otherwise they become stagnant as the libraries and languages they depend on evolve. It's why semver exists.
