GreenPark Sports is looking to hire a mobile engineer to work on a mobile sports game. We're a stealth, seed stage startup founded by well-known names in Silicon Valley.

We're building the mobile app in Flutter. Flutter experience not required. Just be interested and willing to work with Flutter.

We're based on Burlingame. Just a 10 min walk from the Caltrain station. Small company of just 6 people. This is a great ground floor opportunity for someone who enjoys building apps from nothing.

If interested email Tim Bull, our VP of Engineering at tim[at]greenparksports[dot]com or apply via https://flutterjobs.info/job/ipS4pUbGV0KzA2UE1wXp/

Too bad he's silent for the past year when these issues were obviously going to happen. He allowed it to happen. And now he's quietly giving Trump lip service behind closed doors. He (Travis + Uber) doesn't give a damn about anyone. As long as they can get some Uber-friendly policy from Trump they'll continue to let him do whatever he wants. They are enabling him by working with him on other issues while ignoring this.

Such PR bullshit. Trying to look good in the public eye.

What kind of reply would you want? Would a simple "no thanks" be enough?

I have been in the situation before where replying to everyone with anything meaningful is simply not feasible. Maybe for a recruiter whose full-time job is that but not for a hiring manager who also has to balance their regular duties as well.

I have spent much more time on the applicant side of things than the hirer side so I understand the goal. It can be frustrating to not get anything. If it is a job you really want you may be inclined to hold everything else off until you hear something just on the hope that maybe they haven't gotten to your resume yet. So a little closure would be nice.

So maybe a better question for you is what are you trying to accomplish by getting hiring managers to reply to all candidates? Give them closure or provide feedback? If the former than maybe a simple "no thanks" will do.

By the way, I am speaking clearly to the scenario where a candidate sends in a resume and doesn't hear anything back. In my opinion, even if the hiring manager or recruiter does a phone call the candidate deserves a clear "no" email at a minimum.

Once had Google kill a Spark job after it was running for about 12 hours because they thought we were doing something nefarious. It cost us thousands of dollars in wasted time and Google spend because their automated system made a mistake. They never attempted to fix it, refund us or even seem concerned.

Only the first line was directed at you - and it was more in jest. Everything else was directed more at the other commenters and Mongo detractors in general.

Should an infrastructure company be advertising the fact that it didn't research the technology it chose to use to build its own infrastructure?

All these people saying Mongo is garbage are all likely neckbeards sysadmins. Unless you're hiring database admin and sysadmins, Postgres (unless managed - then you have a different set of scaling problems) or any other tradition SQL store is not a viable alternative. This author uses Bigtable as a point of comparison. Stay tuned for his next blog post comparing IIS to Cloudflare.

Almost every blog post titled "why we're moving from Mongo to X" or "Top 10 reason to avoid Mongo" could have been prevented with a little bit of research. People have spent their entire life working with the SQL world so throw something new at them and they reject it like the plague. Postgres is only good now because they had to do some of the features in order to compete with Mongo. Postgres been around since 1996 and you're only now using it? Tell me more about how awesome it is.

On any platform other than iOS, Safari is the 3rd best browser on its best day. Just because something is pretty, doesn't make it good. This guy is clearly a student of the Jony Ive school of thought.

Since they aren't making any money from your visits to their site anyways I doubt they will be losing a lot of sleep.
