This is similar to what we do at Abl.

We use a Slackbot to ask everyone for a written standup update, answering a few questions:

- What did you do on your last working day? - What are you doing today? - Are you blocked? - Would you like a conversation with anyone (to get unblocked or anything else)? - Any announcements, like PTO?

And that gets posted in Slack at a certain time. The goal of this is transparency for what folks are working on, giving people the opportunity to raise blockers, and announcements.

We then have a scheduled 15 minutes a day to just hang. We have a check-in question that's not work related and we use the time to socially connect. We are a fully remote company that used to be in-office, and we found the opportunities to build & grow these connections are not available in a remote + scheduled Zoom world like they were in office.

The fine Hetchr folks recently gave me a demo of the product, listened to my feedback, and more, which is greatly appreciated. It was refreshing to see the patience they had with me as I talked through my use cases, frustrations, and my thoughts on areas for improvement.

Secondly, I've been working on bringing Hetchr into my worflow, specifically with Github Pull Requests and JIRA Kanban board. Having everything in place where I can take a quick glance to see how things are going is very easy.

I'll keep on eye on how Hetchr executes on their roadmap, on feedback, and responding to bugs. Best of luck, Hetchr team!

I don't work at August Health, but I want to chime in and say that Erez and team are building something really exciting here. I'd reach out if you're looking for something mission driven with passionate founders.

It doesn't make sense for certain types of apps, but it really adds a ton of value and saves a lot of time when the use case is right

What are some of these use cases?

What's nice about Tastyworks? Never heard of it before

What do you suggest?

You should consider telling your doctor.

edit: I now see you said 3 weeks ago, so that may not be helpful.

What prevents you from starting? Is it not having a program, not knowing form, time, or something else?

Sr. Data Scientist:

The Role

We are looking for an experienced Data Scientist, and in this role, you will help schools understand the impact operational changes have on their students and staff. You’ll collaborate with a team of product designers, engineers, and school leaders to build software features that help schools overcome complex logistical challenges.

As a Data Scientist at Abl, your work will immediately improve equity in and operations of schools across the country. You will collaborate with product designers to determine what to build and prototype, with engineers to deploy software into production use, and with our schools team to provide decision support for K12 principals who are implementing novel solutions to complex scheduling problems.

Recent data science projects include:

Defining and calculating measures of inequity for students within a school schedule Building recommendations for course placement in a schedule Proposing and prototyping algorithms for supporting team teaching best practices Developing metrics and visualizations for student tracking

The Team

Our product research and development team is small, passionate, and inclusive. You will be the second Data Scientist at Abl and will work across the product and business.

As a data team, our goal is to produce software and insights that are proactive, guiding our peers and school leaders towards the right thing to do next, rather than taking a reactive view or simply describing what has been done. For the current stage of our business, our domain, and our customers, we have found that a bias towards reproducible, and more easily interpretable models and metrics is more useful than attempting to ruthlessly optimize an algorithm.

Responsibilities

+ Build underlying systems that power our data-driven products (e.g., recommendation engines, constraint solvers, and predictive models)

+ Consult directly with school leaders to work on complex problems within Abl’s product using your research and rapid prototyping skills to push new features into production

+ Perform data profiling, complex sampling, and statistical modeling

+ Design and develop tailored data models for K12 schools

+ Identify incomplete data, improve the quality of data, and integrate data from several data sources

+ Work on the challenge of combining data from across schools and districts, who all store things differently, so that we can measure our impact in aggregate

+ Determine how to evaluate equity, or fairness, for students and for teachers

+ Propose metrics for evaluating the overall quality of a schedule and methods for comparing multiple schedules’ ability to meet school leader priorities

+ Find trends and insights in complex, human-generated school data

Qualifications

+ Strong programming skills (e.g., Python, R, and/or JavaScript)

+ Proficiency in writing SQL queries

+ Ability and desire to present complex findings in a simple, approachable way for non-technical audiences (e.g., in writing, through reporting tools, and at in-person presentations)

+ Experience with cleaning, structuring, and transforming data via ETL processes

+ Ability to design and deploy machine learning algorithms and models

--------------------------------------------------

Sr. Front-End Engineer:

We are seeking a Front-End Software Engineer to join our team and help build products that support our mission. We are growing quickly and there is a lot to do! Your contributions will have a meaningful impact on our company.

Your Impact

+ Work collaboratively with the Product and Design team to understand the experiences and pain points of schools, teachers, and students

+ Define and build compelling new products and exciting new features that give educators insights that will enable them to optimize how they use their resources

+ Use your extensive knowledge of front-end technologies to build high-quality designs that are scalable

+ You should have a great feel for user experience and an eye for beautiful designs

+ Bring a deep understanding of best practices in design, optimization, interaction, and usability

+ Familiarity with the whole web stack, including protocols and web server optimization techniques

--------------------------------------------------

Support Engineer:

Abl’s Schools team is seeking a data-savvy Support Engineer to ensure customers are set up for success in our product. This person will provide direct technical assistance to customers, assisting with post-sales onboarding, configuration setup, and data manipulation tasks. In addition to assisting customers, the Support Engineer will interface directly with the Implementation Manager and Engineering to contribute to projects related to ETL tools and data solutions. The candidate should be familiar with basic programming and data management, and be passionate about helping schools use the master schedule as a lever for change.

Responsibilities

+ Collaborate with customers to initiate and schedule data transfers from school sites to Abl’s internal database

+ Write scripts to transform, validate and transport data as part of the ETL process

+ Provide first-line technical support to customers and implement ad-hoc data solutions

+ Support account managers with documentation and research around customer specifications

+ Create and update SQL-based reports to provide key customer success metrics to larger team and to inform product and implementation decisions

Qualifications

+ Proficient in at least one scripting language (e.g. Ruby, Python, JavaScript)

+ Experience with data analysis and management (Excel, SQL, reporting tools, etc.)

+ Customer-facing experience in technical role

+ Eagerness to work in a mission-driven, startup environment

+ 2+ years of experience in support of technical products

+ Former experience with a K12 edtech company or in a school-level role a plus

But, for instance, if you click on a link from another app like Slack, they open in the 'default' or highest priority container.

I tried this and what I couldn't figure out is: How can I keep my containers separate so that when I click on a link from an external app, it opens in the most recently active container? Similar to multiple profiles in Chrome. I couldn't figure this out and feels like a dealbreaker with the browser behaviors I've adopted.

Speak up?

It's likely that you're not the only person that feels this way. Speak up, ask the person that runs point on the meeting to have an agenda prepared to share before the start of every meeting. If the discussion wanders away from what the group finds valuable or from the agenda, establish a way to call it out and bring everyone back to the agenda.

Technology has made the world more connected, fundamentally changing how we live, work and interact; yet traditional schools have not evolved to prepare students for the 21st century. Replacing textbooks with tablets won’t be enough. We believe schools need a new foundation. That’s why we’re building a web-based school scheduling platform, that allows administrators to put master schedules and daily calendars into a single cloud-based system. We are creating the next generation of software for all K12 schools to fundamentally change how they design, measure and improve their schools. We are also a company that deeply values diversity in every way.
