classic IC answer

Area man write blog post saying things are great and just so happens to overlap exactly with what he does

I really like Dan and have been following his stuff since the mid-2000s, but it's hard to apply this advice generally.

#2 and #3 are only effective if you're Dan Cederholm. He already had a reputation which put him in a very luxurious position to essentially choose his first users and have them actually use it. The same goes for #3 – imagine if all of the "people you want on your platform" got tshirts and postcards from every startup that wanted them?

This feels like this fills the void between people who don't care about calories and people who really care about calories. I know people (read: myself) who are too lazy to measure everything down the milligram and just want an order or magnitude sense of calorie intake.

> Running your own geocoding really shouldn't be that scary of thing to do.

> The biggest pain in running your own OSM geocoder (nominatim) is kind of a bear to set up.

You said it shouldn't be scary then immediately call it a bear. I am scared of bears.

> there isn't enough money to be made to satisfy VC investors. Mailbox and the like could have lived quite comfortably as paid-for apps with comfortable

I'm not sure that's true (see: Sparrow). I just don't think there is enough demand for people to want to pay for an email client. I imagine for a huge majority of people, default mail client's work fine enough for personal use.

Timehop - http://timehop.com - New York, NY (onsite)

We're looking for iOS and backend (Golang) engineers. You can read more here: http://timehop.com/joinus

We've got millions of daily active users who love using and opening the every single day.

For iOS, we use a MVVM architecture for our app and use ReactiveCocoa in a bunch of it.

On the backend side, we written a ton of Golang using DynamoDB to access and play around with our > 160 TB of data.

Timehop is building the place online to connect with friends around the past. Whereas Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram focus on the real time, Timehop focuses on anniversaries and bringing meaning and relevancy to old content. We have millions of users opening the app every day and signing up a user ~every second.

It should offend you because that statement is suggesting that your utility and your worth is merely a function of your gender, not because of your skill. That the only value a woman brings in this case is "fundraising as well as getting authenticity with parents" - not their skill or any perspective that you wouldn't have.

It is this kind of "not my fault" attitude that slows down progress in gender equality.

Yeah, I'm feeling like the quotes should be around "Hacked", and not "Encryption"

While it seems random, it is simply:

1 2 3 4 5 6 => January, 2, 03:04:05pm, 2006

I think the real lesson here is developers have a warped sense of time and would rather spend relatively much more time building a website to solve a problem than it would just to learn it

Thanks for flipping it ;)

Ha my bad. Fixed :)

Alibaba has a ton of Open Source: http://alibaba.github.io/

They're a major technological powerhouse, to the point where they offer their own AWS equivalent: http://www.aliyun.com/

Have you seen http://750words.com/? It's an awesome tool that does exactly that and gives you some insights and game mechanics to make the exercise more interesting

iOS Engineer - We're looking for an awesome iOS engineer who knows the ins, outs, and annoyances of the iOS platform. We're a venture backed startup (Spark + OATV) that is making reminiscing online fun by taking your digital exhaust (ditial photos, tweets, checkins, etc) and showing you the most interesting things you've done on this day in history.

In an age where we're creating more digital data than ever before, we're trying to take the 90% of stuff that isn't real time and searching for the important signals and making it useful again.

Our stack is mostly Rails with PG (and decommissioning Mongo). As of late, we're adding more and more Go into our stack. As part of the iOS team, you'd be contributing to the iOS efforts on all fronts: making major decisions about how the codebase progresses (libraries, code conventions, etc), major part in hiring, etc. Since we're a small startup, you'd also have a huge amount of input into the product.

We're also looking for junior iOS folks as well!

We've raised $4mm thus far and have got a bunch still in the bank :)

Shoot me and email, I'd love to hear from you! [email protected] (tech cofounder)

Shouldn't the user have their email address in their commit messages? That's how I've found their email address – clone the repo and do a `git log`

This looks awesome - a Parse.com you can deploy yourself!

A bunch of UX feedback/issues:

- after signing in/up, there is no link on any page that actually links you to your portfolio.

- The welcome page is a waste of space right now. It only has a link to give you feedback, while providing the user no useful information.

- If you're making me sign in with github, the projects section shouldn't be empty. It should pull from my github

- Under Theme, I understand it's probably more work than it's worth right now to preview the themes for a weekend project - but the link out to bootswatch should at least go to the preview so I know what I'm choosing: http://bootswatch.com/#gallery
