Man, that reminds me that as a kid I coded the game of life into Excel with a bunch of nested IF statements. It was a small field, but still a lot of fun

I have been using Celery a lot for several projects and haven't really run into any significant issues. I like it as part of my tech stack.

Sorry to hear others don't feel the same way. I find it easy to use and maintain.

I completely agree. They are taking a limited experiment and extrapolating to parenting in general.

Our mission is to empower RV owners to provide great RV rental experiences. We strive to make RV travel more seamless and accessible to renters everywhere. We are looking for self-driven people who want to help us make the most of the many opportunities ahead of us. Our friendly, flexible work environment and amazing benefits show our commitment toward our employees.

Job Description

Our small development team is looking for our first QA engineer to take charge of documenting requirements, writing acceptance criteria, and validating tests. We follow an agile test-driven development process, and we need a motivated QA engineer to help ensure that quality is built into our product along every step of the way.

As a QA engineer at RVshare, you will be given a large amount of responsibility. You will be entrusted to get out ahead of bugs before they happen and ask thoughtful questions to ensure the product is well built. You will work with the product designer and developers to create an appropriate test plan and then execute that test plan. You will also triage bugs as they are reported by the support team and write steps to reproduce each issue.

Our technology stack is a combination of PHP and Ruby on Rails, and we’re moving toward becoming 100% built on Ruby on Rails. We use Github for repository hosting, Circle CI for continuous integration testing, and AWS for infrastructure.

FWIW, I'm a current Linode customer that will be migrating to AWS soon. I like Linode as a basic provider, but I really need the better features such as ASGs, AMIs, and RDS. That's worth the higher cost per hour for me.

Mailchimp is great. Easy to use, tons of features, and they have a free plan to get started. I've never had to evaluate the other competitors.

Actually, the law is somewhat about who is right. If he has a trademark for name that covers your space and you use the exact same name, then (IANAL) it sounds like he's correct. But you should spend some time and money to consult a lawyer. My guess is they would tell you that you don't have a case.

What kind of app is it? Desktop app, web app?

It's already pretty easy if you know the function you're looking for. Just go to Chrome and type:

  php.net/strcmp
I'm not sure if anything else could be easier.
