Rally Software, Boulder Colorado.

Full-stack web developers, especially Clojure.

Rally Software is hiring for several positions, in all our locations (Boulder and Denver CO, Seattle WA, Raleigh NC, and Helsinki Finland).

In particular, I am interested in finding experienced polyglot programmers to join the team that I work on, which does backend infrastructure-type projects, working almost exclusively in Clojure. We are located at Rally's main office in Boulder, and offer relocation.

Feel free to contact me directly with questions ( chrisperkins99@gmail.com ).

Hey, I use almost exactly the same system, except that instead of evernote I use backpack (http://backpackit.com/), and instead of the three sections being day, week, and month, I have "Next", "Soon", and "Backlog". Also, I have two todo lists - one for work, and one for non-work.

I like backpack because I can reorder and drag items between lists easily. There is even a checkbox beside each item, which I get an unreasonable amount of satisfaction by clicking.

Almost all the ideas for webapps that I have had over the years have been discarded because I thought, or was told by people, that "no-one will pay money for that". No offense to Amy, but time-tracking is pretty much the canonical example of the app that "no-one will pay for".

So thank you, Amy, for proving me wrong.

WebGL X-Wing 15 years ago

If the intent is to make me pay attention to WebGL, it just may have succeeded.

If, on the other hand, the intent is to prove that I suck at video games, then it's a resounding success.

I have just skimmed this so far, but it looks very good.

A lot of the Python scripts that I see at work look like either C programs or glorified batch files. I'll definitely point people to this when they are ready and willing to move on to the next level.

Well done.

Suggestion: one thing I didn't see mentioned is switching from "if s.find(c) == -1: ..." to "if c in s: ...". I see people do that a lot.

The last of those books opens with "Objective Caml (OCaml) is a popular, expressive, high-perfomance dialect of ML...". This must be some hitherto unknown usage of the word "popular"...

All lies. I work at IBM, and I have heard no such thing. As for "330,000 use Symphony" - everyone gets a computer with Symphony pre-installed. Nobody I know ever uses it - ever. We all use MS Office, and have not been told to stop.
