I would apply to something like Toptal. When we were first built our team for my startup, we used Toptal contractors for quite a while. They were solid, and to my understanding, made good money. Toptal takes a significant cut of course. The

I'm curious if anyone knows if there is a significant difference between #36 "Be (religiously) silent" and #115 "Exercise (religious) silence."

AFAIK, the only volunteering they offer is in person -- in classrooms, at hackathons, on field trips, hosting interns, etc.

I've worked with ScriptEd for a number of years; volunteering, fundraising, judging hackathons, hosting interns, etc. I've seen first hand how their organization can have a great impact on the students (and the volunteers!) If you

Yes, there are a lot of things that I think good, solid recruiters bring to the table. Here's why: I have a great relationship with a couple recruiters that have a) introduced me to opportunities, and b) helped me fill roles as I was h

That's always where I struggle, too. "How does this scale to real life problems?" That being said, the article goes into that—pretty well, I think—after the sum method. It focuses on an "OrderKindValidator" class th

I was literally just wondering that, too. In NYC, for instance, there are a number of places [1] that are considered "destination chargers" that are parking garages throughout the city. I imagine that for an add-on fee to the mont

I love reading Matt Levine's writing; I enjoy the humorous tone. A bit of Louis CK for the financial world. But I didn't get that he was dismissing the security concerns. I read it as he was dismissing the idea that some aspects o

Capybara has been a part of my/our workflow for a while; I'm curious why this is on the frontpage -- is there a specific update I'm missing? Either way, I really enjoy Capybara -- especially being able to jump between differe

I love that GitLab has their code publically viewable. It provides another example of a large Rails application which is always useful as a way to "see how other people approach challenges" as well as my favorite "why the hec

That totally jibes with what I found "reassuring" in a sense. That even very smart people sometimes get hit with inadvertent "multiple problems looking like a single issue" situations.

Hear hear on said Old Wizened Graybeard habit. The amount of pain inflicted from twenty jobs all starting up at :00 (or even :30, :45, etc.) when they could easily run at :04 or :17 can be huge. Anecdotally I once "lost" a sandbox

This line: I would have sent out an email to the mailing lists earlier; but since at each point I thought I was "one change away" from fixing the problems, I kept on delaying said email until it was clear that the problems were f

I interviewed at SeatGeek five years ago when they were a very small team. I was super intimidated at my first "startup" interview. No need to be; Jack and Russ were some of the nicest guys and interviewers. I remember after the i

That's probably fair. I, funny enough, used quotes, because I couldn't think of a less serious word than frightens. Concerns is maybe a better word choice.

This "frightens" me a lot more than the Google car does. I trust that automated cars will be safe "enough." I don't think I would necessarily trust an automated car that can find itself in a situation in which a dri

Hey There. 138 comments in, it may seem trite, but if you're in NYC, please shoot me an e-mail (info in my profile). I'm hiring across the board; even if it's just freelance to get you back on your feet, we can work something

Looks really great. I think that this is the type of theme that any company could utilize and save themselves a load of resources early on when time/money/people are in short supply.

I think the value is in scale. We're currently working on a very large product site (not eCommerce) that has thousands of products and thousands of related content entities. QAing that is a nightmare, but once you get through the base

"Students willingly walk into the trap" is an interesting way to describe it, that I think only applies if in fact the student doesn't find success. I feel that I'm doing pretty well, so I wouldn't characterize it

The point about head coaches is interesting, because while NYU has athletic programs, the funding (if I remember correctly) is hugely less than that than other private schools. NYU students just don't care about athletics. Two addition

Did you go to NYU, or are you just out to insult those who did? I went to NYU. I credit it with developing a lot of the skills that have gotten me to where I am today. This comes with a very clear understanding that my degree, while not dir
