I loved this, thank you. I laughed and cried in equal measure. It was a perfect break from what's normally on this website and I'm deeply grateful to you for sharing it.

Optoro http://optoro.com @ Washington DC

Senior Mobile Developer [ONSITE]

Optoro is solving a problem nobody else is: how to handle returns from retailers. It’s amazing that nobody else is solving this problem with technology, or at scale, but we are. It turns out there’s a huge need; major retailers like Home Depot, Staples, Radioshack, Bed Bath and Beyond, and many others are really excited about our solutions that combine technology, data science, and warehouse logistics into a seamless solution that solves their problems and makes them more money.

We’re looking for Senior Mobile Developers to help us build native apps for warehouse management as well as consumer experiences for our e-commerce websites. Both Android and iOS. Totally greenfield for the e-commerce apps, and mostly so for the warehouse tools.

Remote is cool after awhile but we’re focused on building a strong team here in DC first, so expect to be here for a bit to start at least (6-12 mos).

Lots of great benefits and an amazing mission! More info and a submission form at http://www.optoro.com/careers

Yeah, also wondering if there are other correlations they didn't consider. That's the problem with these articles---all the evidence points to one answer, but is that causation or correlation?

ah, so I did. Thanks!

FWIW, the ppa is hannes-janetzek/enlightment-svn, and you can try it out in Ubuntu with:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:hannes-janetzek/enlightment-svn

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install terminology

great effort coming along. I'm sticking with terminator for now but will keep my eye on terminolog.

Re:"Getting started with Ember.Js is easy." - No it isn't on Wednesday March 20, 2013 @11:57AM (#5408047)
I'm very excited to see this naming conventions guide come out. I think you've done a great job here of clearing up in one place a lot of the magic that Ember does for you. Understanding how Ember looks things up is critical to developing nontrivial applications, so thanks!
Re:Startup work-life balance on Tuesday October 09, 2012 @12:46PM (#4632556)
I don't think that's a fair argument. There's always a point in projects where you need to do something you don't want to do. At that point your work has become an obligation, which makes it something you don't love. You're forced to undergo the stress that we're discussing balancing. The key IMO is to find the right balance of working through that stress.
+1, I think this must've played a large role in color selection, especially considering the large print runs these posters had to have.

Re:How I Open Source on Thursday May 17, 2012 @10:49AM (#3987206)
'Just get it out there, it'll be used or not.' I love this point: there's no need to try and hit perfection, just put it out there and if it's useful people will help you. That's the beauty of open source.

Re:Unity is the end of Ubuntu on Friday October 21, 2011 @11:25AM (#3140156)
I like unity, but it doesn't work on my quad-monitor setup. I know I'm in the extreme minority, so I stick with Xinerama and broken window managers for the most part. It mostly works, and I'm productive on four screens. Good enough.
