Re:Ask HN: Does anyone actually hire from 'developer bootcamps'? on Tuesday January 06, 2015 @11:51AM (#8845323)
CEO of Greenhouse here (www.greenhouse.io).

YES - we have hired out of Flatiron school. A total newbie who goes through the program can't come out as a full-fledged developer, but we have brought them in as QA/Automation engineers and then promoted to developer after 9-12 months.

Re:The Beautiful Table - communicating football statistics with D3.js on Tuesday March 12, 2013 @12:12PM (#5362757)
First of all these are soccer stats, not football at all. So I call B.S.

Secondly, in all seriousness... While pretty, they are quite hard to make any actual use of. Things that should be compared are far from each other and oriented differently making them difficult to compare. Trends are hard to notice because everything is so widely spaced. The losing team score is too faint so it fades from the vision.

But yes, it is pretty.
