Ask HN: Moving to Hawaii this winter, who's hiring a full-stack engineer?

I'm planning on moving to Hawaii in winter and while I could keep freelancing, it'd be nice to work with a local company/startup in order to meet people and get out of the house. Are there any startups in the islands looking for a full-stack developer with significant experience in Ruby/Rails, PHP, Node, Angular, React, jQuery, Chef, Ansible, and even firmware engineering?

Go traveling. Central America is cheap, beautiful, and full of other travelers (i.e. people who don't know anyone there and are therefore happy to make new friends). And if you have some work lined up before you go, you can code using hostel wifi and live like a king (a king that sleeps in a room with 6 or 7 strangers, but a king no less).

Well that would be because I didn't know about the delayed extensions :) Will update the post accordingly.

And regarding .send… d'oh! I'm actually using .deliver in my code and changed it just before pressing publish. What can I say? It was 4am and I wasn't thinking properly.

Agreed, but the markdown formatting didn't seem to work on my first test post. Still, a really cool idea. Nice job, guys!

That's not entirely true. Cloud Foundry (the software) is an open-source platform that allows for compatibility across providers. You can see a list of compatible providers here, in addition to cloudfoundry.com: http://www.cloudfoundry.com/partners

Full disclosure: I work for AppFog, one of the providers listed.

Yeah, I'll definitely get in touch soon. Cheers!

Yep, I'm still going to. There's some difference between our ideas and I think they're both valuable for different segments. I should have a show HN within a week.

Ah man, I've been working on a side project that does just this for the last couple weeks. Was almost ready to show it off. Good on ya, guys.

It's not the transition from one layout to another that is graceful. Under normal circumstances, you're not resizing your browser to use a site. What's graceful is the fact that the layout is well suited for each and every resolution you throw at it, whether you're on a full-screen desktop or a mobile phone.
Yeah, and I'd be willing to bet their lawyers don't even know how the back-end software works. Idiots.
