I see this phenomenon in airport parking shuttles ... more frequently than I would like.

Generic pharma is still big business. And there's patents for novel ways to deliver the medication (e.g., Vyvanse and Concerta in the ADD stimulants space)

We switched off JIRA and created our own workflow in Trello. No one is sad.

Is Twitter's management team on HN? That could skew the results...

The same could be said of "natural language contracts" and "natural language laws and regulations". Lawyers get hounded for "legalese" but its just a form of code--based on but deviated from natural language--to try to overcome the inherent inefficiencies of natural language.

Am aware of a high school that tried to use a Chromecast for digital signage (not this particular software) on the same network as students (woops)... needless to say the screen wasn't showing their digital signage for long! After a prankster played a few "educational" videos for the whole cafeteria, school admin panic ensued and that was the end of the Chromecast for signage plan.

(This scenario wouldn't happen of course on a network where you have 100% trust that no-one else is going to hit the Chromecast button on their browser or phone...)

Nutrislice, Inc. - UI/UX Designer and front-end developer -Boulder/Denver, CO

Nutrislice is a self-funded, thriving software company with (currently) 14 employees. We're three years old and still very much in a startup mindset.

We build awesome, modern software that makes a positive impact in the world. Specifically, we build software services and apps for school food services. We have a dominant market share in the K-12 food service space and are growing rapidly, including into other markets.

Design is paramount for us, and we practice design-driven development. Our primary designer, who is also the CEO, is getting busy with other duties, and our 5-strong software development team could use a design/UI/UX specialist.

We need someone who is comfortable designing UI/UX (both for web and mobile) as well as working with existing UI designs to extend, improve and add new features. Up-to-date front-end developer skills are also a requirement, including HTML5 and CSS3 mastery and basic Javascript.

Job duties will include creating designs, wireframes, and mockups of new apps, features and pages, and working with our current front-end and full-stack developers to build the front end for new features and extensions to our current products.

We'll take care of you, as far as pay, benefits, and a work/life balance go.

Mostly a matter of preference. Several tower users on our team and a SourceTree user. Try both, take cost into consideration, and go with what works for you.

Three things I've noticed as a manager of several developers who use or don't use GUI's for git: Pre-commit self code review tends much better with a GUI or at least a good git-aware diff program, leading to higher code quality. Visualization of branches, merges, etc. is much easier with a GUI. Complex merges with conflicts, partial commits, etc. tend to be easier with a GUI like tower.

I like Github, but just switched our business repos over to bitbucket. Github's pricing for businesses isn't even competitive.

And I assume you also don't understand why anyone might prefer to use an IDE instead of vim/emacs...
