Is it possible to use this independently of other heroku services? We're on ec2, but this is a perfect fit. Edit: If this is up to date https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dynos Then heroku uses ec2, so it should be possible.

How does this compare to hipchat? It looks very similar.

Hah, I don't think the parent post is literal. The point being that it's easy to be a 10x developer if you have 10x the focus.

This is great. I want a tool like this for other languages.

I don't fully understand why this makes me so angry, but it does. The company you work for has no right to know anything about your personal life. To be expected to disclose things to HR is ridiculous.

I'm aiming to be completely transparent through this whole process. Feedback is appreciated, and feel free to ask me anything.

At first I was skeptical about fullcontact, afraid of the big-brother like effect. Then I met the CTO at a hackathon, and it turns out he's really concerned about privacy and respecting opt-outs. I highly recommend the company.

Hi everyone, We created this project in response to seeing many clients making changes blindly based on gut feeling, and not being completely satisfied by the existing multivariate testing solutions. We wanted a simple way to write variant

Nope, but I fully expect a rejection letter :D

That is strange. I'd post the letter on my twitter with a hashtag to them.

Cool use of clojure. I like your background and typography choices. A few things: 1. Creating a new account directs me http://gratefulplace.com/favorites/3 and says "Sorry, there's nothing here." Could be because I favorited a post bef

Very interesting! I'd bet on this being a bug. Hopefully apple fixes it.

Don't worry about it. Hard advice I know, but google is just as desperate as everyone else for quality candidates. Get some sleep, drink some coffee before your interview, and just talk through the problems as you get to them. If this is

Hey man, that sucks but it's nothing you can't get out of. If you have to go work consulting, or some entry-level thing for a while. Apply everywhere. If you are a decent developer with a CS degree, you should eventually land a job. It

This sort of nonsense should be illegal. I've met plenty of people over 30 who still learn new stuff at an astonishing rate. I've also met people 25 and below who resisted learning new things like the plague. It's all in your mindset not

Hey man, I've been there. People can give you all sorts of advice here like exercise, heavy drinking, or whatever. But you really should see a professional psychiatrist, someone who knows about this stuff. A good one won't just give you
