Wow, this thread makes me ashamed to be nerd. It's all bashing the intelligence of administrators/educators while hypocritically trying to make the point that we shouldn't scorn groups of people. "Hey, kid, if a person can't tell a clock circuit from a bomb, it invalidates all their motives and education."

One source of your frustration is that you're viewing all the individuals on Twitter as if they're a single entity that's also adamantly against profiling. "how do you make a case that it's unethical for dragnet traffic..." You're assuming they also hold other popular views you've seen on Twitter, then calling them hypocrites.

Without more context than the title and the linked email, it's pretty easy to call Hsieh's move brash or tried-and-futile. But the guy is often regarded as the premier management CEO of his generation, and homogenous culture is strongly enforced in his hiring process. Employees love Hsieh because they're (largely) on the same page, not bc of a reality distortion field. After seeing Hsieh's track record and reading "Delivering Happiness" (Zappos' story) and "The Everything Store" (Parent Amazon's story where Zappos gets a vignette), I'd rather watch and learn than shoot it down based on my engineering sensibilities.

Nice to have several viewpoints on the devices, though my opinion is probably biased.

MeetMe - New Hope, PA

We're a leader in social discovery, just raised a bunch of additional capital: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/meetme-prices-10-million-publi...

and hit a big milestone in daily user numbers: http://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/news/2014/07/30/meet...

I'm a Sr. Android dev here, and while I was initially skeptical based on the website, I was quickly convinced that this is a fantastic place to work, grow, and see your ideas valued.

We're always looking for Android and iOS devs who know their stuff and stay current. Our respective mobile teams have 7 members apiece, and we have about a 1:1 QA to dev ratio. Our structure is pretty flat, so while we do have Product, Design, database, etc teams, developers who are comfortable batting ideas around flourish here.

The core MeetMe app is our bread and butter, but we also do hackathons and build experimental apps to test the marketplace waters. Salary is top-notch for the northeast. Very chill office environment, free gym membership, bring your dog in, stocked kitchen, that kind of deal.And New Hope is a fantastic town for afternoon walks and Starbucks runs.
