Thanks for the shoutout! KB Clip Founder here.

I'm happy to answer any questions people have. Initial feedback has been pretty positive so far.

Valid point about how KB Clip is "opt-in". that's intentional as many channels can be like a firehose. The core tenet of KB Clip design is that the most important info should be clipped and it should only take seconds to do so. I love a good pun or gif war and anyone, but not in my wiki or KB.

That being said, I've also got some roadmap features that help surface conversations that heuristically might be important to save as well.

I'm working on a solution to this called KB Clip: https://kbclip.com

basically it's a slack add-on that allows you to turn a conversation into a web/wiki page in just a few seconds. Essentially, lots of important, KB-worthy info happens naturally during the course of work slack conversations.

The idea being that making knowledge capture easy kind of naturally makes the usage of the knowledge base happen. KB usage is kind of a chicken and egg problem. if no one creates info, no one will look there.

We don't currently export to Confluence, but the plan is to export to most of the major wiki/KB platforms. We're going thru Slack App Directory approval process at the moment, but we're planning on doing a big marketing push as soon as that happens.

happy to answer any question about this topic or the product we're building!

I don't think you can prevent people from migrating to discord or slack, but I built a Slack app that tries to bring the best and most frequent conversations to the web.

The issues brought up here are exactly what I am trying to solve.

I think it's the greatest thing ever. I wrote like 300 words over two blog posts here: https://amattn.com/p/the_sublime_developer_efficiency_of_eli...

tldr:

- It’s quirky - There’s a learning curve - Taking the time to climb that curve can result in elegant solutions - The endgame is high developer efficiency

Not only that, but I find it fun and enjoyable. The ecosystem isn't the largest, but the other positives more than make up for the deficits for me.

I only started learning elixir around November or so last year and I've launched two SaaS products in the past 6 months.

Anecdotally, having managed elixir teams and talked to other managers of elixir teams:

- The learning curve is real. but 2-6 months for us, not years. It's not particularly hard, just longer than a small language like go.

- Having Ruby and/or functional programming experience shortens that learning curve.

- Developer experience/satisfaction is very high. This helps retention

- Some devs will just never "get/grok" Elixir. They may have 20 years of java experience or a new dev better suited to a FE role. This doesn't mean they are bad, just not a great fit.

- The devs that do get it? They are quite productive. Feature velocity is high.

I disagree that Elixir/Phoenix isn't a fit for CRUD apps. I'm seeing high feature velocity across small and large scale products.

In particular, feature velocity per engineer is quite high. A smaller team in Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView can outpace a similar full stack team.

static typing is what drew me to go, Elixir isn't a static-typed language, but there are plenty of guardrails in the language that make up for it. Pattern-matching, guards, good compiler messages, casting, etc.

You've also got fantastic testing framework, and good conventions like tagged tuples {:ok, x} vs {:error, y}.

On top of all of that, you've got the Erlang underpinnings: immutability, crash-fast, app umbrellas, etc.

It's a very safe language to develop in. I don't miss the strict static typing at all.

Elixir and the broader ecosystem have the following traits:

- It's a bit quirky, there's much else like it. Ruby is the closest.

- It's got a learning curve. It's not a particularly hard curve, but it is longer than a small language like go.

But on the other side of that curve is a very elegant, productive development experience.

No idea about the .Net ecosystem. It seems unlikely as Phoenix/LiveView is fairly self-contained.

- Forgive yourself. It's okay. You are who you are.

- Understand that there is no speed limit. You can be as fast or as slow as you should be.

- Mimic. Connections and insights are rarely magical. Usually the person has been trained by themselves/others or have come up with mental "hacks" to promote these kind of eureka type thoughts.

Decades ago, my best friend was much better about making connections, insights, etc. I was constantly wowed. Instead of fixed mindset like "I'll never be as good/clever as they are" I simply asked: "How did you come up with that?" or "How did you figure it out?". Sometimes he would point me to how he read documentation and interpreted that into code. Once I got the cryptic answer "Think like an electron." (His point was that similar to how you can predict how water will flow down a mountain, valley, gather against dams, you can kind of predict how electrons move through capacitors, inductors, diodes, etc.)

The point is that I was less interested the outcomes and more interested in how they were achieved.

You'll find that there is a snowball effect. The more connections and insights you make, the easier it is to add to them.

Lastly, the core principles of no zero days might help out. Here's a link to the seminal reddit comment:

https://www.reddit.com/r/getdisciplined/comments/1q96b5/i_ju...

The biggest, lowest hanging fruit thing you can do is tell them you are only interested in working at startups and you are only applying to startups. You need this in your resume, linked in profile and also make sure to mention it during the phone screens and onsites.

As an engineering hiring manager for (mostly) startups, I love candidates that have both BigCo and TinyStartup experience. Diversity of thought and usually by then, the candidates have a sense of where they want to work.

If you find that your tech or skills or experience don't line up with startups then you may have some work to do.

Most BigCos need specialists. Most Startups need generalists. Depending on your field, you might need to study up as some other posters have mentioned. I wouldn't study haphazardly however. Apply to a few startups (or industries) you are interested in and take notes of the questions they ask you and especially the questions you struggle to answer. Those are the areas to spend your time getting up to speed on.

The contributor statement is new to me and definitely the highlight of this license:

Any modification to the software submitted to the authors may be incorporated into the software under the terms of this license.

I'd love something like this become a little more common. Making contributors sign paperwork is a tremendous hassle. Hopefully the OSI (https://opensource.org/licenses) will take a crack at this one soon. If it shows up on their list, I can see adoption ramping up.

http://go.Armory.io/YC-Apply

Armory is a YC W17 startup called based in San Mateo (very near Caltrain). We are working on making cloud software deployments, safe, trivial and ultimately boring. Essentially we're bringing the sophistication of a Netflix or Google style deployment to anyone.

Armory's core product is wrapped around the open source project Spinnaker. If open source is your thing, we might a good fit for you.

Today we are looking to double the size of our eng team. If you are interested in making deployments less painful, we should chat. If you are a polyglot engineer, we should definitely chat. If you are familiar with AWS or similar dynamic cloud-based configuration and architecture, we should absolutely chat.

We’re small and growing but we’ve got paying customers (including a Fortune 100 company) and a strong culture.

Diversity and collaboration are important parts of who we are. We value creativity, ability to prioritize and the importance of sharing knowledge.

Our CEO wrote a great post here about our long term vision you can find here:

Don't stop this. It's essentially harmless and in the case of certain people, welcome. You want your interviewers to think have empathy for your candidates. Interviewing is already stressful and a full bladder or dry throat makes it worse.

Collective Health, ( https://collectivehealth.com/jobs/ ), San Francisco (very near caltrain), CA (Full time, ONSITE only, VISA case-by-case, see below)

We're replacing health insurance with a system that members love. Using our SW, platform and services, an employer can pay doctors directly, saving a ton of money and making the employee experience amazing (with the testimonials to back it up). The company is well-funded, ~two and a half years old and growing very rapidly with sales traction. We punch well above our weight-class with experienced founders, ~250 team members (~ one quarter is engineering), and paying customers.

Our tech stack is a mix of Go and Java components with Angular on the front end. We use a custom service bus to tie our SOA together, microservices style. We love Docker, CoreOS, postgres, automated testing, and continuous integration. We've got some neat in-house tools for service discovery, health checks, cluster setup and deploy and more.

As a company, we're strong believers in transparency, trust and balance. As an engineering team, we believe good code is easy to read and should have a short "time to understanding". We expect all of our engineers to continually teach as well as learn. We also believe that everyone should write good code, yet balance that against the need to ship.

We've got a ton of interesting problems to solve around distributed systems, data analytics and predictions, complex data modeling, ultra high-availability, security, privacy and more.

We're currently looking for experienced SW engineers up and down the stack. Our biggest needs are DevOps and Backend Engineers. All open jobs: http://grnh.se/8f7q15

If you are non-technical, but are interested in experiencing a hyper-growth startup, we also are hiring for sales, business development and other roles as well.

Your job post has two main functions.

1. sell the opportunity 2. have candidates self-select out

Every job pipeline is going to follow traditional funnel math and you are starving your funnel.

The test you've proposed is more appropriate for later in the funnel when they are more willing to trade their time for the potential opportunity.

We're replacing health insurance with a system that members love. Using our SW, platform and services, an employer can pay doctors directly, saving a ton of money and making the employee experience amazing (with the testimonials to back it up).

The company is well-funded, ~two years old and growing very rapidly with massive sales traction (200x this year). We punch well above our weight-class with experienced founders, ~130 team members (~ one quarter is engineering), and paying customers.

Our tech stack is a mix of Go and Java components with Angular on the front end. We use a custom service bus to tie our SOA together, microservices style. We love Docker, CoreOS, postgres, automated testing, and continuos integration.

As a company, we're strong believers in transparency, trust and balance. As an engineering team, we believe good code is easy to read and should have a short "time to understanding". We expect all of our engineers to continually teach as well as learn. We also believe that everyone should write good code, yet balance that against the need to ship.

We've got a ton of interesting problems to solve around distributed systems, data analytics and predictions, complex data modeling, ultra high-availability, security, privacy and more. We're currently looking for experienced SW engineers up and down the stack, back end, infrastructure, data, dev ops, test, generalist, etc. Our biggest short term needs are AngularJS FE, SW Engineers in Test (you will be writing cluster level end2end tests, not unit tests), and skilled IT desktop support.

All open jobs: http://grnh.se/8f7q15

If you are non-technical, but are interested in experiencing a hyper-growth startup, we also are hiring for JIRA workflow automation, operations, business development and other roles as well. If you care about such things, we were recently flattered/embarrassed to be highlighted as one of fifty potential next unicorns by the nytimes: http://nyti.ms/1JLKaCT

We're super proud of the company mission, engineering culture and tech stack we've put together and would love a chance to explain it all in detail!

We're tackling the employer-sponsored healthcare industry (our favorite analogy is how Tesla takes on several verticals at once, such car makers, dealers as well as the oil industry). We can lower both the first and second derivative of the rising health care cost curve, nationwide. There's some compelling evidence we can do so, if you'd like to chat.

Please don't misrepresent a 6 month span of a full time gig as a short term contract. No one ever expects a FT employee to stay only 6 mos.

As someone who as doubled our eng team in the past four months and plans on doubling it again in the next 6, here's my view:

I use the term jumpy. It is a negative signal, but not a killer signal. You'll have to make up for that with numerous other positive signals, such a extreme technical competence, culture fit, evidence of shipping, etc.

I probably wouldn't point it out on a resume or whatnot, but when asked about it, be honest. Also consider being more picky about the jobs you take. Try to stick and your next place 2-3 years or switch to contracting.
