They said they aren't profitable, they're hiring too quickly for that. They're using the money to hire quicker, just like most other people use investment for.

The story says "Google had a reputation of hiring only people with computer science degrees." Dunno if it's true or not, I'm just curious.

Does Google still refuse to hire people unless they have computer science degrees? In this day and age that doesn't make sense.

I have had tons of problems with parse. Our app has both the iOS and website backends using it. While it is useful, and a lot of stuff is well done, when you operate at any kind of scale you keep running into all kinds of hidden limitations

Say I have 3 iPads in the office, and I want to load a build on each of them. I know I can use Testflight or similiar, but the easiest is to just plug them into my computer and press the play button. If I do that, it increments the build nu

Well I'd like to know build numbers internally, just only when I change things. So if I put build 12500 on 3 iPads, I can track the crashes.

I've been using a version of this for about a year now. I even modified the script to work with two build targets. The only problem is that every time you press the "play" build/run button it increments the build number,

Apple keeps it very close to the chest, a lot like Google does with their algorithms. If people know what makes rankings rise and fall, they'll inevitably find a way to game the system. The only things I've seen that definitively
