Yep, agreed! Thanks for sharing that, nice point. Most of the work we do as developers isn't the sort of John Carmack's Magic Numbers sort of wizardry, so looking for more of the same sort of dev skill can be counterproductive as you've found.

Nice people are where it's at. After all, we've gotta work together, and someone will always be able to learn the tech...

The Arrested Development reference in the footer makes me wonder if the name ought to be Annyong instead.

What's the point if the user doesn't control the keys?

If the data and the keys are both with Amazon, is this anything other than a ticky box for the marketing dept?

Agreed! I'm recommending it to anyone uncomfortable with the SMS/Hangouts merge.

Seconding this, switched to TextSecure when they combined SMS and Hangouts. It is an excellent SMS app replacement. The crypto doesn't get in your way, even when almost none of your contacts also use it.

I'm finding voip.ms to be pretty good, no major issues in over a year of using them. It's a power user tool, so it's not quite as slick as Voice was.

I ported my old Voice number to voip.ms too.

I suggest that you apply to companies directly, with a cover letter tailored for each company/job, and avoid these generic CV-mangling systems.

Everyone involved in that needs to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash-only_software and get comfortable with the idea of pulling that plug. It'll help in the long run.

Thanks. Yes, for a demo or contributing doing it locally is a good idea. :) Nice set of instructions, it's a bit of a complex beast to install.

If you're installing it on a laptop just to play with it, perhaps https://www.hostedgraphite.com might be useful. The 14 day trial means you can fool around and dump it for self-hosted at the end of it. :)

http://www.hostedgraphite.com - exactly what it sounds like.

(For those who don't know what Graphite is, it's a popular open source tool for recording and graphing metrics, typically server and app performance stuff)
