Working on scheduling and tracking for construction workers. We are a team of 4 currently, 2 engineers, a product designer, and founder. We have a few pilot customers that have used our app.

What we are looking for is a senior engineer who can both scope out and takes control of a project end to end.

Or, a sales/operations person that can help sell, market, and grow the business.

If you are interested feel free to email me at deon@dockpad.io

I agree the education system is completly broken more so for comp sci than anywhere. There is no need for 4 years of school. Why do you need bio and comunication. Before anyone say that grammer and english help you in a career look back at your college career did you honestly take those classes seriously. I have comp sci course I've past and haven't retain one word.

How many 40 year old software programmers could there be the area of science has only been around 40 years.

It's not the youngster who are jobless is the older software engineers who never learned to learn new concepts. The older programmer to so much time to learn everything from algorithms , to cryptography, and things that are analytical they forget about learning new technologies. Yoru comment shows why older people have difficult getting jobs. It took you a day to understand how a listview work while a good young programmer who understand technologies should be able to pick up any technology and understand it in a few weeks.

This seems like a very bad assessment of software engineering forgetting the cursial reason why older programmer have trouble finding job. The fact is that computer science is only really been a legitament profession for maybe 40-30 years. When it first was taught no one could of predicted the speed at which software engineering would become a dominate force in the world's economy nor seen how fast technology changes. So in the begginning computer science was viewed like math, physics, or any science it was taught so that you learned the basic first then you learned the newer and more innovative things. This is no longer the case. Yes most programmer will experience c/c++, some may even lean x86 and MIPS, but we now know that computer science require a constant change. It is no longer acceptable to just know c/c++ you must learn new languages all the time. Whether you decide to learn node,js, ruby, scala, or what ever cutting edge languages we are not groom to pick up languages in 2 weeks if needed to. Most great programmer are taught to teach themselves the newer technologies to stay relevant. Something I see my professor in college never really learned.

Nice graphics and the game was surprisingly fun. Reminds me of older game from kids website. The only problem I had was speeding up when I went to one tab then returned.

I think the beauty of kickstart is that you lose you money, but in most cases you lose very little. Professional VC and backers know not every project ends up where you want. Not everyone succeeds. This way you lose a little money if it doesn't instead of a professional VC taking thousands on a flawed ide see groupon or pets.com. I doubt you would ever lose your shirt over a failed kickstart investment matter a fact backing for more than some extra money you have laying around complete defeats the purpose.

How about those jet packs that we have been promised for so long.

If your not a young person in this generation you know nothing about it. 70% of young people work jobs during college now and if your not rich is even worst. We are expected to just lay down and accept either a less education, less wealth, or to simply fail. 70k a year is nothing when you just racked up 50k a year in debit for 4 years. We built thing your generation most likely could think of. Is it not fair to want to go to school without working 40 hour weeks, graduate to job any job that you can use your degree, then be able to get house without having to look over your should because the previous generation started caring more about the rest of the world than it's own people.

Programming skill is a diffcult thing to quantify. I personally don't think school is a good way of deciding who will be great at programming. I hired people who have had less experience who were way better programmer than my most experience guys. Personally I never had the problem of a hiring crunch because I have been willing to work with programmers with less experience on paper who turned out to just motivate themselves into success.

Thats not the same because iOS and android are both frameworks. Adding framework onto framework especially on mobile which moves so fast cause more problem than it solves because people start complain that google or apple broke there framework which shouldn't have been there in the first place.

How about you learn the native language. You will never get the most out of a platform without going native. Apps like instagram, any games, and the most exciting apps in mobile will always be native. Great programmers have the tools to build what needs to build.

Nice it's great that you used bootstrap so that if I change my bootstrap file it will change the module. Bootstrap for developer who aren't great designer has been a amazing tool. It has open my eyes to modules like this that gives my app the same feel.

Social augmented reality to let anyone add video, images, or models to any item they want then share it with others.

Before I even looked at the comment I could already see the back lash against this article. Hip Hop even the most simplistic is inspirational not so if you ideal life is different from those that make up the core demographic of hip hop. I for one am a entrepreneur, a start up owner, and a programmer who doesn't listen to rock or pop for the same reason some people don't listen to hip hop. Because the songs aren't relatable to me or my life. It's a good article just maybe the wrong dmemographic for it.

What language is it? Is the language just specific to that ide or can other language be changed to work with this ide?

I agree silicon valley from what I have seen since trying to get into startups NY seems to be the more professional of the two more suit and button ups. Silicon valley is more technical geek and their startups seem to be more based technical performance. I personally being technical don't really like the NY mode but I can see why people like it.

I actually like dart and go more so than javascript. Javascript still has a leg up when it comes to libraries. If Go or Dart get a follow I would be happy to look into it.

I like that he got off, but does that means for the hackers that took googles code. What happens to all patents on software.

I don't think so they just got a big pot of money through IPO now they are flexing their muscle. Google did it, apple did it, tech company of these guy size have lots of money more than they could ever use.

Simple answer is no until there is no need to ever pull out a command line the typical none college grad, non-techie person isn't going to us it. Windows has the perfect balance of stupid simple and cheap price that makes it a standard in personal computing.

We discussed this in communication theory during my sophmore year in college. American and Europe are becoming individualistic culture compared to the collectivist culture most of the world lives in. As much as we want to believe people should just get some courage and walk up to someone to have a conversation this is not how people interact. We rely on getting introductions in order to make social connections with new people. The more you live along the worst this become as you become self obsessed, and your social skills to connect with other begin to deteriorate.

Easiest example would be facebook and google who really weren't that innovative. This seems to come at the end of this pair, path craze.

Seems like one summer to late if you would of released it in the summer you could of been path or pair because it's a combination of both. Seems like a lesson learned maybe sometime it's ok you just release a app instead of waiting until you feel like it's perfect.

I think the idea is great, but what really stands out is the execution. The style the way it just works is why this idea could be huge congratz guys.

Weird time to just leave maybe he found something out that no one else knows. If he didn't and didn't share it in order to sell the idea or finding it would be a great excuse. If not walking away from the biggest scientific discussion in year is just crazy.

I wrote a paper in highschool so take this with a grain of salt basically the idea is have truly parallel programming instead of having concurrent ones the ability of the qubit to solve for multiple states means they can solve for multiple problems at the same time while conventional computing seems parallel whats really happening is that calculation are switching states so fast they feel parallel. If I am wrong someone correct me.

I'm a 20 year old with no obligations what so ever. I would say your wrong startup isn't for the old it isn't for the in experience. I have run my own consulting company since I was 15. I have been through the ups and downs of hiring and firing, management, dealing with unruly customers, as well as unruly employees. I would that the benefit of experience working as a programmer on big project is that you know when it's time to stop. You have found those ways to get through 60 hours werk. Mines being working out. You know a good employee from a bad, and you know the difference between a unmotivated employee, and one that needs to go. As a turned from a consulting to a startup just recently I do see something young people the few like me do have. We have time. I don't have any obligations, School will always be there if I need it, even with my experience I am enough of stupid dreamer to follow a good idea.

Javascript from my experience is just a bad language. I know that just like objective-c and java aren't going away on desktop or mobile because the underpin a lot of the tech that runs those platforms despite javascript may be running on top. Html 5 needs to fully conquer the web anyway before taking mobile and desktop on which won't be one for a while.

Java is still the most used language in the world http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index..... It used on the web, mobile, and desktop. Java problem can be fix and have made strides to modernize like the play framework which modernizes a lot of the things in Java to make it work more like typical web frameworks. Not to mention android which is done in Java which is the most widely used mobile platform. How can a language thats being used more than ever be dying to languages who can crack the top ten most used programming languages.
