* Making college education free for US citizens is a terrible idea.
* We've taken the idea of "sanctuary cities" way too far.
* Gun control is a bad idea
These are a few conservative ideas that I think plenty of people would be afraid to express in a workplace that is disproportionately filled with ardent "liberals".
We're building a unified communications platform that provides audio, video, screen sharing, text messaging and group messaging on Android, iOS, OSX and Windows. Competing against established companies like webex and new disruptors like UberConference.
The rails team provides the backend api that drives and enables the clients and media teams to deliver a smooth collaborative experience.
Great office in downtown San Francisco (2nd & Mission). Rails team is 5 people, supporting the demands of the 20 or so engineers on the other teams. Fast paced weekly release cycles with room to grow as an engineer.
We work in rails, but languages used elsewhere are C, Go, Java, C#, C++ and we love developers that can switch hit between teams when it's needed. We have a lot of our infrastructure built in AWS so experience there is a plus.
Meetings don't need to suck, and we're making that happen. Come join us. Contact [email protected] and put [Hacker News] in your subject to make sure I get it.
Room on the team for novices and experts.
No recruiters please.
Also, we see new jumpers every year, and the first thing they want to do is start jumping with a GoPro (even if we don't want them to for safety reasons).
I think they're doing a good enough job with new features that people like me will keep upgrading for a while.
Second, I would say that over the course of my 10 year career in managing developers, I've heard many, many times that the bug was in the kernel, or in the hardware, or in the complier, or in the other lower level thing the developer had no control over. This has been the correct diagnosis exactly once. If I had to guess, I would say about 5%.
