Snowflake (Streamlit) | Bellevue/San Mateo | Open Source | Full-time | https://www.streamlit.io

We're hiring in many engineering roles on the Streamlit team, and many neighboring teams at Snowflake. At highest priority, I'm looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Streamlit Open Source team. Streamlit is a popular open-source project that's changing the way people visualize data and build interactive apps. We're seeking someone who loves UI/UX + Data, a background in managing full-stack teams, and a drive to innovate in the open-source space.

Our ideal candidate has 3+ years of experience in leadership roles, a startup mentality, and high energy to champion Streamlit. This is a really special role for us. Proficiency in Python and React is a plus, along with experience in data science or interactive visualization tools.

Not sure the industry is moving away from mods universally. You or your kids ever play Roblox?

I agree that orgs of all sizes should use SSO. The pricing should scale appropriately.

But as we have seen, companies are not doing enough to secure the sustainability of the open source software they rely on for their businesses, and I think a balance needs to be struck.

I feel like charging for SSO is a reasonable request of enterprises when adopting open source software. Most enterprises require SSO as policy (and should). Most enterprises also don't contribute financially to the sustainability of open source software, so this is one way to ensure that happens.

Ever seen the movie Real Genius? Many scientists and engineers who have invented technology that ultimately led to mass bloodshed and destruction have regretted their participation.

Anyone know if it's possible to load something like this up on a VR headset, like an Oculus?

Crucial Conversations

I have tried it. I owned a PSVR for a month and tried everything available. It was a pretty incredible experience, more immersive than I expected for sure. Most of my family and friends had a great time with it as well.

Ultimately, however, I resold it after a month. There are too few interesting full games available. Nearly every game is mostly a short trial, and most of the games are also very experimental and uninteresting to me in general. As an example, a full 1/3 of games available were musical demos that seemed to be geared toward folks having fun experiences while presumably smoking weed or otherwise in an altered state.

There was never a reason for me to come back to the system, but I would like to see if there are very imaginative useful practical applications that eventually see light. After surveying the other VR options I'm not convinced anything exists yet.

I like the idea of niching down for a use case, but I've never met a lawyer I thought had the time or energy to devote to learning programming. I'm also having trouble understanding how a lawyer might use their programming skill to improve their daily lives. It seems to me that other folks on a lawyer's staff would be more likely to be interested in this subject and use it to the firm's benefit.

I was listening to NPR recently and there was an interview with a former Clinton administration official [1] who mentioned almost in passing that prosecutors regularly infringe on the right to privileged conversation between a defendant and their lawyer. Specifically, he mentioned that the room you are given with your lawyer has paper thin walls that the police and prosecutor folks can hear through easily, and when in jail there is no way to have a real private conversation with your lawyer as well.

I don't know if you have the patience or time for it, but The E-Myth Revisited, an old book with a cheesy name, was made for you and this situation.

Another resource I like is gobyexample: https://gobyexample.com/

Here's an interesting thought.

The NSA isn't the only entity who could stand to benefit from a privately held exploit to most SSL implementations. The NSA is also not the only group who could actually accomplish this.

Who's to say there aren't groups out there that are doing this already to steal and profit from corporate information, credit cards, etc.?

I'm interested. What's your e-mail address?

I've actually seen a crude version of something like this on a trip to Taiwan a couple of years ago. I was at a mall and I noticed a wifi network called "People Counter." I wasn't entirely sure what they were doing with it, but I assumed it was counting MAC addresses.

Yeah. It works really well on a dev team. We use it in our team all the time for things before we transition them into a fully-automated process.

If you like the idea of this sort of thing, you might also check out https://github.com/csquared/checkcheckit. It lets you make checklists in Markdown, execute code in code blocks, and share progress live on the web with your team.

How many hours do you spend a month on devops tasks? And on top of that, how diligent are you with applying patches, testing backups, and all other sorts of drudgery necessary to keep a production site running smoothly? Take that number of hours, multiply it by your consulting rate, and there's a good chance Heroku may save you money.

For most production apps, you'd need at least a part time ops person to do things right. That's the kind of cost Heroku saves you.

Heroku isn't just a transparent proxy to EC2. You are getting several other services that are not easy to put together on your own - routing infrastructure, simple git push deployment, world-class postgres tooling. To put this kind of stuff together on your own is costly, and you will likely make a lot of mistakes on the way (mistakes Heroku has already made and learned from).

Another thought: When you use Basecamp, are you calculating how much they are spending on hosting your data?

We have tons of openings right now. We are growing our team significantly this year.

I'm not a hiring manager in any way, but I'd love to work with more awesome people here at Heroku!
