Unfortunately, it appears they are not looking for interns :-(

famousactress• 15 years ago

No? They said differently at the Stanford career fair a few weeks ago.

iloveyouocean• 15 years ago

Perhaps they are only looking for Stanford interns.

mdwrigh22• 15 years ago

I asked a couple weeks ago and they didn't even look at my resume before telling me no, so perhaps it's location.

Even still, I'd rather they say that, than that they aren't taking interns. Perhaps it was just a question of my timing though.

They definitely are. And unlike some comments theorize, they're not just looking for Stanford students.

Is the lack of a link to a list of available jobs and locations or even a mailto:jobs@ email address supposed to be part of an indie appeal?

groby_b• 15 years ago

I suppose hunting down the job listing is part of the test ;)

icco2• 15 years ago

That is some Alice in Wonderland $#!7 right there. Can you truly ever complete the hunt for nothing?

I assumed it was a joke and not actually from github.

trotter_cashion• 15 years ago

Yea, totally a joke and not from github :-)

Could someone please explain this?

If I navigate to http://amiworkingforgithubnow.com/yes does that mean I'm instantly hired?

weehuy2• 15 years ago

I thought maybe it was shenanigans like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4198883/exposing-any-ruby...

where you were suppose to add your handle to GITHUB_HANDLES list, but alas didn't work.

I got to listen to Tom, one of the cofounders of GitHub, do a presentation tonight in Boulder for the local Linux users group. He did a great job. One of the nice things about it is that it wasn't a high level pitch about the business model or about what GitHub was. Instead, it was basically an introduction to the core architecture of git. How it works. How it's different than say CVS, or just keeping manual backup copies of files around. He actually went into Terminal, wrote code, and essentially hand-crafted git storage files in a Ruby interpreter, in order to illustrate how git works internally, and how simple it is. It was great on two levels. One one level, it was very substantive for a crowd of Linux geeks, we eat that stuff up. And on another level the fact that he clearly understood this stuff and enjoyed it and gets his fingers dirty actually building things. If I wasn't already firmly in the no-Ruby-for-me camp (prefer Python, and don't want to waste time switching time investments over to an approximately similar language), I'd probably love to work with them. Small companies rock. People that know their shit, and are passionate about it, rock.

Part of the hires they did was for some new projects (I think iphone related). I'm very happy for the new hires, it must be great to work there.

Hmmm... Strange, it's broken for me.

homecoded• 15 years ago

Well, it crashes Safari on my iPod Touch 2G. I was curious so I looked at the code.

IMHO there are only two possibilities:

(a) It's the css-font-definition-stuff they're doing (b) google analytics script is causing the problem

Actually, I do think it's google.

Too bad, people should check their websites on mobile devices, too, before release. I believe I am not the only one who enjoys his/her daily dose of hacker news from a mobile device reclining on a couch. :-)

tanoku2• 15 years ago

No, I mean broken as in I keep getting the wrong answer. :/

I'm scared now... Maybe I'm getting fired or something.

dfox• 15 years ago

If Safari crashes, you should report bug to Apple, not to whoever made website that triggers some random Safari bug.

Note for web developers: Browsers on Windows suck at rendering most custom fonts. If you feel that you definitely want to embed your font, at least please check it on Windows first, play with font sizes and positioning and make sure they don't look silly.

Why should everyone have to purchase another OS, at a high price, just to work around another OS's problems? Shouldn't you be contacting your OS provider about this instead?

ubertaco• 15 years ago

When that "other OS" is highly ubiquitous (~90% or higher market share), it is reasonable to expect developers to purchase the OS before developing for an audience that uses it.
