==Full Stack Engineer==
We’re looking to hire a second engineer to join our team of five working to fight homelessness and urban poverty. As an experienced generalist you will be responsible for working with our designer to bring product features to reality. You should be comfortable working from the linux platform, through back-end architecture, all the way to implementing designs with responsive html/css/js.
At HandUp, you’ll have the satisfaction of seeing your work directly impact thousands of lives. We’re using technology as a tool for human empathy. Passion for solving big, complex social problems is a must-have. You don’t need any specific qualifications, but we do look for people who exhibit these qualities:
* Self-starter - you’ve worked on your own projects before and are a self-motivated do’er. * Startups - you have experience working in environments where priorities and tasks can change frequently. * Scrappiness - you know when to cut corners and when to spend the time to do it right. You're good at prioritizing and managing limited time and resources. * Experience - this isn't your first rodeo. You've been doing this for a while and can tell us some good stories.
Our stack is Bootstrap / jQuery, Python / flask, MySQL. You don’t need to be an expert in those technologies but you should have a proven ability to pick up new skills quickly. You ideally have some experience in automated testing methods and deployment tools. Metrics are important to us so deep knowledge of funnels and Google Analytics and/or mixpanel are a plus.
This position is located in San Francisco.

HandUp is crowdfunding for homeless people and neighbors in need. Through our web and SMS platform, the community can donate directly to specific homeless and at-risk HandUp members. Members use their HandUp credits for basic needs like food, clothing, and medical care through local human service organizations. We’re pioneering new technology to help fight urban poverty in the US.

Kinda cool that Chrome added pointer lock, but the responsiveness of moving the cursor around the screen is pretty shit. Maybe it's mac mouse acceleration's fault?

Can't be opened because it's from an unidentified developer

This is nice, but can you add the machine name (ie. c1.xlarge) and add costs scenarios for reserved instances?

The world where loser pays is not so perfect. If I as an independent inventor sue apple for infringing on my patent and they win simply because they have unlimited legal war chest, then I would get stuck with millions of dollars worth of legal fees. That threat alone is enough to stop smaller patent owners from rightfully defending their intellectual property.

As with most things I don't think there is a black or white answer to this. I think it's OK to have some features that are unavailable if tastefully done, but it will make your product have an unfinished look to it.

Yeah the apple maps were disappointing but the apology letter yields to the masses. It doesn't show leadership. Always look forward.
