Email is one of the most critical communication channels for Zendesk. Our system sends and receives millions of emails a day and our customers rely on us to keep the processing times fast and maintain high outbound delivery rates. The email team is a core product group that does platform, operational, and feature work.

About you:

* You are curious and love solving difficult problems

* You are mature, empathetic, and have strong communication skills

* Colleagues describe your code as beautifully clean, efficient, and maintainable

* You have deep experience with at least one dynamic language, preferably Ruby

* You know your way around relational and key-value datastores

* You have experience working on large-scale, business-critical systems

Some nice-to-haves:

* You have prior experience working on the front-end (React/Redux an even greater nice-to-have)

* You have ops experience and have worked with Docker and K8s

* You are familiar with email standards (and how they’re broken)

* You understand or have worked with SPF, DKIM & DMARC

* You have a Bachelor's (and/or graduate) degree in Computer Science or related

DCell might be more advanced, but it's nowhere near ready for real-life application (1).

perhaps you confuse style with design?

how would this method remove the slew of security vulnerabilities and other development issues?

there's nothing wrong with green field dev. especially in this case. fairly sure slapping on some 'federation functions' would result in a hell of a mess.

John did not make the 'impossible bit' possible, he discovered its inclusion in the spec and recognized whatever it was as impossible to implement.

I've really enjoyed this series, even with the fear of it being left unfinished. Martin's characters remind me of the characters of Glen Cook's writing - also some kick-ass dark fantasy. Check out his Dread Empire series: http://www.amazon.com/Dread-Empire-Glen-Cook/lm/R1423C8TEEUL...

Also along this line of epic fantasy are the Malazan Empire books by Steven Erikson - http://www.amazon.com/Gardens-Moon-Malazan-Book-Fallen/dp/07...

tarball?

name two?

the thing about this post that really irks me is that these re-tweet contests only contribute to the noise on twitter. pot/kettle...

i have no earthly idea what point this post is trying to convey. if it's a reactionary post to the anti-seo sentiments expressed by developers, it fails. is the future of SEO in user-experience? is this post aimed at seo practitioners? regardless, i call bullshit.

It'd be pretty interesting to do this today. Internet access would negate a lot of the benefits of hermitage, in some respects. But it's a super romantic ideal - and one I [and it seems others] can definitely relate to. A big part of this story is that Lutus didn't go out to the wilderness to work on software, but rather, fell into it through curiosity and excitement over some novel new form of technology.

i'm not so sure lutus could be called a luddite. oh, and this is 1976...

no, you are definitely not at fault for those things. however, you are at fault for re-contextualizing this particular comment thread. the original comment spoke of alternative interfaces, not of outdated software, cheapening the discussion with snarky remarks about anachronistic technology. though, plenty of people still use telnet. and physical help desks.

feel free to read through this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man and re-read my reply to jsonscripter's comment.

absolutely. and JAWS. oh wait, assistive tech. and accessibility don't fit into your [glib] analogy?

or avoid the reddit pain and keep an eye on freshmeat.net

super cool project for enabling an internet-wide dialogue/communication/modification-layer

signed up. went through painful profile population process (alliteration w00t). the drop-downs for city is not at all fun - suggest text-field with auto-complete if you want the silos. otherwise, zip-code might be better?

checked out the member search not a single user within 200 miles of NYC?

while i understand this has just opened and the team is based in Ontario, seeding the userbase with beta-testers/soft-launch participants for major metropolitan areas is usually a good idea for sites that hinge on real-life location-centric interaction between users...

just my two cents

disclosure: Josh Klein is a friend of mine from grad school (ITP)

Joshua Klein's crow-training project's validity is a point of contention. The original NYTimes article was poorly researched and much was assumed/embellished through no fault of Klein. The correction the Times semi-recently published made it out to be Klein's fault, though he attempted to contact and correct the Times, to no avail. Poor journalism and self-interested/important journalists are the suck.

i'm working with surface mount components for a project. def. not as bad as the article makes it out to be. just takes a steady hand, a decent soldering station (i've got a weller WES51, around $80), small tips, lots of flux, and a magnifying glass. getting the first component down took a while, but improvement (fast and clean connections) came quickly. now it's kind of fun.

true. but i would love to see the community work with this, to keep the quality up. but at the same time, i'd consider myself anti-over-moderation, and optimistic enough to wish for self-government (through social interaction). though not to appear too much the commie-pinko-leftist...

i like the idea of exponential delays for deeply nested comments. i wonder if there is a more direct way to force people to take their time in writing replies. maybe a timer on how long a reply textfield is active (i know, full of flaws, but a start, at least).

if it doesn't inhibit thoughtless replies/comments, at least it will destroy the excuses of "oh, i should have thought about my response a bit more", and "that's not what i meant, i should have clarified that point."

must be great for twitter to have an entire blog donating such vast resources for QA. i'd read the article, but TechCrunch is currently (and probably will remain) mapped to localhost in my /etc/hosts

doesn't quite look ready for prime-time... but it's something for which i've been waiting to see, with no time to build it myself. firebug 1.4 should also be awesome when the beta drops (hopefully soon?).

yes! lifestreams offer a much more useful abstraction than the desktop metaphor. i'd really love to see a lifestream OS/filesystem... unfortunately, it doesn't seem likely to come about in any consumer-friendly realization, at least in the foreseeable future.

i'd rather educate than be misinterpreted. the term 'hacker' best describes me and what i do. i'm not [just] an engineer. i'm not [just] a designer. i'm a hacker. hacker has a real, defined meaning. the media and popular interpretation be damned.

not to cut teeth here, but the 'fag' analogy doesn't really hold up. no matter how you swing it, the term 'hacker' relates to technology (hardware, software, wetware, whatever). in this case, 'fag' has two very different meanings. i'm reminded of the story posted a month (or so) ago on the linux hacker dad whose son received some flack from an ignorant teacher (anyone have a link?).
