When I worked a Geckoboard they had a great system where you had unlimited paid time off, but you had to take at least 25 days off each year.
This, combined with colleagues visibly taking advantage of the time off available, helped ensure a healthy approach to unlimited time off.
London, UK | Geckoboard | Front End Developer
Geckoboard is a successful and growing 30-person B2B SaaS startup based in East London. Our elegant, real-time dashboards solve a difficult but valuable problem for thousands of paying subscribers.
We are looking for a full-time front-end engineer with experience building single page applications. You'll be passionate about working as part of a team, and learning from others through pair programming and peer review. You'll be comfortable liaising with our product designer on design and implementation. You’ll relish the opportunity to continually improve an existing product through refactoring and the removal/addition of features.
More than anything, we value candidates who are excited about picking up new skills and sharing what they’ve learned with the rest of the team - for example, none of us knew Go or React.js a short time ago, but now both are key parts of our stack. We love people with a keen attention to detail and the willingness to apply it in shaping all aspects of our product.
Great, that's fixed it for me.
I get the error:
"LightTable.app" is damaged and can't be opened.
I'm running OSX 10.8.2.
Anyone else having the same problem?
Are there any dependancies I need to have installed before running the app?
I recently used EasyXDM at work to implement a JavaScript API to allow access to a presentation player within an iFrame.
Very impressed with the ease of integration, and with support for IE6 (I used the Flash Transport).
I would heartily recommend it if you need to support very old browsers, and have no control of the parent page.
I've been using Site to Phone successfully at work to push pages between multiple browsers and mobile devices for testing.
It's not the most beautiful thing, but it works everywhere!
I actually liked the riskiness and uncertainty of not having a health counter and not being sure if the next bullet would be the one that takes you down.
Maybe with a stronger indication of when you get hit it could work quite well without one.
The debugging experience is surprisingly good. CoffeeScript is pretty much a one-to-one conversion into JavaScript. This makes it easy to work out which line of JavaScript was generated by which line of CoffeeScript, and debug the CoffeeScript directly.
I find I don't often need to look at the compiled JavaScript very often, but it is perfectly readable to do so if required.
