Metabase is an open source (https://github.com/metabase/metabase) business intelligence software that lets anyone in your company rummage around in the databases you have. It connects to a number of databases / data warehouses (BigQuery, Redshift, Snowflake, Postgres, MySQL, etc).

Here's a dashboard about us: https://stats.metabase.com/public/dashboard/92d6b7ea-7526-48...

People rather like the product (https://metabase.com/love). We're a remote team full of people who care about user experience, making complicated things as simple as possible and building things. We have a deeply pragmatic engineering culture and value building things that people actually use vs whatever closes a deal or makes for a good press release.

Tech stack: Clojure on the backend, Typescript and React on the frontend

We've posted in several "Who is hiring" threads in the past with good success, we hired quite a few folks from these posts!

Not everyone has a WSJ subscripton. I don't see the article when I click on the above link.
It will be helpful if you specify what the candies are made of. I can imagine people with specific tastes, vegetarians, people with allergies, etc will be interested in knowing such details.

My "telescopic" thoughts on making this an interview question. When completely expanded, it does not have a grammatical flow in some parts because I couldn't edit text once created and I did not want to start from scratch.

It still isn't working. Any mirrors? Reading the reviews below, I can't wait to try this!
"It's a feature, not a bug"

If they can't build the permissioning around their apps immediately, it will be a good idea to list the phone resources (camera, voice, speakers, etc) that an app uses on the app store page.

Short answer: Use anything, it doesn't matter. All the major languages have good web frameworks these days.

Long answer: You will find comparisons between Rails, Django, ASP.NET MVC and a hundred other web frameworks all over the net. While some of the web frameworks are more elegant and mature compared to others, all of them are constantly evolving and growing. Your choice should depend on your core language skills. Which language are you comfortable in? Which language do you want to be coding in for a long time and possibly make a career in?

My suggestion would be to pick Python. There are plenty of hosting options for Python and Django. Have a look at http://code.google.com/appengine/

+1 for "if it is not on paper, it does not count!"

I was naive (or inexperienced) enough to take the word of my boss when he said that the firm will match an offer I had with another firm. One year later, I am working with the same firm for 80% less than what I could have been earning.

I was given all sorts of reasons under the sun for not increasing my pay. Looking back, I should have got it in writing.

Re:I love startups, but currently work for a ridiculous one... on Wednesday March 16, 2011 @01:35AM (#2330958)
Have you spoken with others in the startup? Do they feel the same way? Have you told your boss this? You should, and either they hear you and try to learn from their mistakes, or they don't and you move on.
Re:I love startups, but currently work for a ridiculous one... on Wednesday March 16, 2011 @01:32AM (#2330950)
I agree. Instead of (or in addition to) creating a website like this on tumblr, you could showcase your design skills by creating a better designed and more visually appealing website. Works better to get you a new job than a simple footnote saying "I'm available for hire..."

Re:Ask HN: which ebook reader to buy? on Sunday August 29, 2010 @10:19AM (#1643826)
I've tried both Kindle and Nook and my experience with Kindle was a lot better than my experience with Nook.

Kindle is user friendly and it gets out of the way as an electronic device once you start reading a book. Nook feels unpolished and awkward in your hands.

Sure, Nook has some edge over kindle with things like a small touch screen (which I found is rather unusable), expandable memory and android. But Kindle does a much better job at being an e-reader than Nook does.

Re:Blurrypeople.com - strangers you might actually like on Tuesday August 24, 2010 @09:44AM (#1629736)
I see your point that the video fits the actual usage style. But I had two issues while playing the video.

1. The volume was too high. I wanted to mute the video first before adjusting my system's volume. 2. I wanted to pause, check out the features mentioned in the video for a while and then resume the video.

So I did need the controls. They can appear only on mouse over so that the feel of a live demo still remains.

Re:Blurrypeople.com - strangers you might actually like on Monday August 23, 2010 @03:49PM (#1627807)
The intro video does not have any playback controls. I'd like to see some standard play/pause and volume control buttons. Also, once I close the intro video, the green "First time here" banner disappears and I have to hunt for the link to re-play the video (which is located at the top right corner).
Re:Ask HN: Kindle or Nook? on Tuesday January 12, 2010 @03:28AM (#1047132)
Sony's touch screen makes the display (which is the most important feature in a reader) inferior to Kindle's. Also it's expensive compared to Kindle.
