Front End/Full Stack Engineer

Employee Life - Perth, Australia - Full Time (remote)

We are an Australian startup who are developing a simple cloud-based social platform which helps employers, managers and employees stay on track and improve day-to-day performance.

We are currently expanding our small development team (All remote workers) by trying to identify talented engineers who love working with the stack below. We believe a commited hard working team player is required to fill this role because in a small team we really do “wear many hats”.

This will be a full time role (ongoing) and we believe it is a great opportunity for the right person, as we are starting to gain some real traction.

Production experience essential in the following -

  Node.js, 
  Angularjs, 
  Mongodb, 
  jQuery
Good knowledge in some of the following might also help but is not essential - Linux, AWS, .Net, PhoneGap, bootstrap, MVC, MVVM, OOP, REST API Development, Elastic Search, Nginx

Workers in Eastern Europe, Asia and Australia will find this ideal – due to timezones – but we'd be happy to talk to anyone who fits the above.

Please email me for more details or to apply - dworrad AT yahoo.co.uk

I think you could approach it a little differently.

You should try and do/create cool/interesting things/projects which help you learn the skill a little more.

Rather than going at it with the intention of learning xyz

To me SEO is like tax evasion... it's just a way of screwing the system. How funny that the seo scum are toying with google the tax evasion kings.

So on windows I have to manually download another browser... Can someone tell me how I can purchase music from anywhere other than iTunes on my iPod?

Many people will tell you that when you go in to "sugar burning" (approx 140bpm+) mode then you are doing very little to improve your aerobic capacity... Regardless of your heart rate being lower at certain points. Read about Mark Allen's (Ironman champion) experiences with this. To train your aerobic system you need to start in the aerobic zone and stay there religiously. IMHO

You can run easily because your placate threshold has been significantly increased... doing sprints won't improve your aerobic capacity to any great degree... just ask Usain Bolt

It won't increase your aerobic capacity... It will raise your lactate threshold. The only way to increase your aerobic capacity is to spend a large amount of time exercising at an aerobic heart rate.

I have for many years realised the benefits of high intensity (hit) exercise and it does work... but like anything it has it's downside... illness and injury can become very common if diet and rest aren't factored in. I find the problem is that most people exercise in what I call the grey zone - not easy and long enough... or not hard and short enough. Most recreational runners fall into this category.... if you can balance easy and long (<140bpm) workouts with short and hard (20 minutes) you will gain many benefits. But you can't build an aerobic base without long easy workouts imho.

Domain Name Loans 13 years ago

Yes it's a free service, we launched the other day www.name2.me . Domain giveaways and loans. We're trying to convince domain name holders to recycle their unused domains. To some people the $10 for a new domain is a big deal.... so it gives them a chance to snap up a domain without any cost.

We are aware of that possibility and we have "whois" jobs running to tell us that domains have exchanged hands - we are working on other ideas. Also we won't be so generous with the points once the site is off and running. But I still think that if you are not using a domain (and not going to renew) then you might as well let anyone have it - I don't foresee many really great domains coming through here (I might be wrong)... But it does give the kid who doesn't have $10 (or a credit card) the chance to grab a domain for free.

It is certainly a scenario which we have thought about quite a bit. That is why we have the approval process so you can choose if anyone gets your domain - You should give this a try. In time we'll see how the site is being used. I guess there are some who have domains that they are never going to use (or renew) so it makes sense to give their domain away to someone who might use it.

Funny you should say that.. I was about to launch with a similar product but a little more complicated. I was waiting for someone at the airport and I saw your post/comment and it made it clear to me that I'd over complicated the idea. So I pretty much went back to scratch and came up with name2.me... Thanks for unintentional "push" in the right direction. When we see top domain names come through we are going to mark them as "Golden" and give the opportunity to the highest kudos users to get in first. Thanks again.

Probably www.tagmark.org A Chrome and Firefox extension for - Tagging (i.e Bookmarks), Tasks, Notes. I still use it everyday but I never really followed through with marketing or getting feedback on it. One day maybe.

My point is that the comment "Until... I learn how to spell?" is not really the best way to get the point across. It's obvious the post needs a little attention... maybe that would of been a more positive thing to say.

Rotten habits? I know people who aren't at home when their kids wake up... and they are home after they go to bed. That's a rotten habit. I have a balance... But I guess all of my spare time is invested in the dream that I am gonna one day create something that people really want to read, use, watch, etc
