News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

daniellemswank

I've hired about half a dozen ML engineers/architects in the past six months. Several of them have EE backgrounds. There's a good bit of ML that touches on hardware (think integrated cameras and similar) so it can be really helpful.

You're mostly on track with your plan to build something. You do need to demonstrate that you have the skill set, but building one giant thing isn't the answer. There's so much that goes into building a giant thing, that I can't accurately access your ML skills.

Ideally I like to see a lot of small things over a reasonable amount of time. Someone with a solid GitHub showing 6-12 months of paper implementations, weekend geez-wiz hacks and various other projects would go right to the top of my call back list.

Hope that helps, good luck with the job search.

Just to clarify, there's two positions that I'm looking for. One full time mid-to-senior engineer and one three month internship.

The author is right that community is everything, but it's not something that you can import. I strongly disagree that you should build your co-working space around an outside team of entrepreneurs.

You have to build your co-working space around the people in the space. Don't nickel and dime your members with add-ons of limited value. Have generous event and friend policies that encourage organic community. Foster connections between members not between members and outside "advisors". People come and stay because their friends are there.

In that vein, you should also probably have a mission that's bigger than the space. A way for people to identify that it's the right place for them, instead of being another generic space in a sea of generic spaces (at least in SF).

Offices are real-estate. Co-working is people.

EDIT: I founded a 3000 sq. co-working space in SF.

Danielle from Olark here. I'm one of the engineers on this project.

We have a "contains" selector that works like a wildcard. So in order to do what you want, your rule conditions would look like: "Current Url" "contains" "settings".
