We have also published two packages to help you get started.

Cloudflare worker for building AI plugins. https://github.com/team-openpm/cloudflare-basics-ai-plugin

WorkGPT - framework for working with GPT functions. https://github.com/team-openpm/workgpt

Everything is open source.

Every single taxi driver is a contractor - why do you think Uber should be different?

Yes it would be great to get more public exposure about stock option policies and encourage the status quo to change.

Clearbit | https://clearbit.com | Ruby dev | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | Full time

Clearbit is a one year old profitable and well funded startup building out a suite of business data APIs. The team is currently 8 - we're looking for someone who'll:

* Mainly work with a Ruby/Sinatra/Sequel/Postgres stack

* Bring new features from concept to shipped product.

* Come up with new product directions and APIs.

We currently provide the data behind the sales teams of many successful companies in the valley (e.g. Stripe, Zendesk, ZenPayroll). Our goal is to be the data backbone for modern businesses, powering everything from credit checks to lead scoring.

To apply just email [email protected] and follow the directions here: https://clearbit.com/jobs

Yes good point! We'll make sure that we pick up icon rels that point to pngs or jpgs (not icos) too.

In general we've found that companies are using the icon rel for favicons (16x16 icons) which don't do a good job of representing a company logo at larger sizes.

I wrote a long guide about this a while back.

We'd love to do that but unfortunately most states (Delaware) require a filing fee of at least $10 to retrieve that.

ogol.io is a pretty awesome idea! Love it.

Behind the scenes we're using Clearbit's Company API which does a lot of sleuthing: scanning the page for social accounts, meta tags etc. Then we try and return the best logo we can find.

Good idea - we'll make this change.

We use ZenPayroll at Clearbit and couldn't be happier! Such a well thought out experience all round.

Here's hoping they'll start selling health and office insurance too so we can drop our other providers.

Dokku's definitely a young project and has its teething problems. We've been using a fork of it called Dokku-alt which is getting a bit more love these days - I'd give that a shot.

It's absolutely true that Heroku is a lot more than what Dokku, Docker & Vagrant provide, especially when it comes to auto-scaling. Heroku is a good choice for many - but it's also good to have alternatives. For us (at Clearbit), it made sense to build our own infrastructure for cost reasons, especially since we're using EC2's spot instances.

To your points though:

* Dokku uses Heroku's buildpacks and auto-detects your stack when you git push

* Dokku-alt supports collaboration & user-permissions

* Logging is automatically handled (dokku logs app-name)

* Support for Memcache/Redis is baked in (dokku redis:create app-name)

* Postgres is also supported by Dokku, but I personally go with AWS RDS.

Thanks for the recommendation Sylvain! Yes, we've been busy improving our data over the last month. Give it another shot - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Afaik, Balanced don't have debit card payouts publicly available, they only have a landing page which is 'accepting applications'.

I'm am extremely excited about Chain.com, and the other tools being build up around the Bitcoin ecosystem. The power of giving developers simple tools and building blocks is often underestimated - but it often results in radical innovations.

A case in point is Stripe's API, and the ecosystem that has been subsequently built around it. Yes, it's possible to send CC auths/settlements and ACH transactions yourself - but the barrier to entry stifles innovation. Often the most interesting innovations in tech occur when there's an innovation in tooling.

I'm particularly interesting in Chain.com though, because I think currency is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Blockchains. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a number of other use-cases for Blockchains soon. [1]
