PRX is a non-profit media company specializing in audio journalism and storytelling. We believe strong public media is anchored in journalism, strengthened with diverse voices, and amplified by innovative technology.

Our award-winning portfolio includes top podcasts including "The Moth" and the Radiotopia network with “Song Exploder,” “Ear Hustle,” and “Criminal”, and iconic public radio programs like "Snap Judgment", “The World,” “This American Life”, "Latino USA", “The Takeaway” and “Reveal”. Each month we reach more than 28.5 million listeners and generate in excess of 70 million downloads.

I'm the CTO, you'd be joining my team to help build our suite of audio applications for podcasters, and public radio producers, stations, and listeners. We believe in OSS, data privacy, agile, infrastructure as code, developer autonomy, design thinking, and that we all have more to learn from one another.

We use Angular/Typescript, React/Js, Rails/Ruby, Node/Js, Phoenix/Elixir, so many things in AWS and on Docker, Postgres and BigQuery for the data.

And for those who care to look, it's AGPL and uses angular.js as the front-end: https://github.com/PRX/pop-up-archive/

Nice hyperbolic headline followed by generally known information that fails to prove your thesis; yeah for click bait! Did you consider defining 'powerful', or was it just a good word for a headline (the only place the word appears in the article)? I happen to really like Python; this doesn't do it justice, and ignores the value of the great Python community.

+1 this: sensational headline = controversy = hackernews frontpage

Many Rails folks have moved on to other things, many of them to Node.js, and in general development is becoming less homogenous (i.e. Go services interacting with a Rails app/middleware, and an Angular.js front-end). This is a good thing; we are seeing people more willing to use the right tool for the job rather than trying to use one language for everything.

You could make something that matters:

Boston Ruby (bostonrb.org) has a monthly project night open to all levels to learn and hack together, and a monthly meeting with great talks - and that is just for Ruby. Pythonistas are active, and have their own things happening, the Java User Group also has similar events - and those are off the top of my head.

On the weekend we did this workshop, there was a Start-up Weekend event up the street at the Microsoft NERD center, and directly above us at MIT Stata center was Music Hack Day. My problem is choosing what events to go to, not finding one.

Thanks for your remark. I agree with you about the seriousness of this, and I am sorry if our language was imprecise.

Please do not mistake any oddity in how this was written with the clarity of how we reacted at the time, our commitment to inclusiveness, and our complete agreement that this was unacceptable.

It wasn't even an attempted joke. The person made explicitly transphobic remarks based on their own intolerant beliefs.

What the person said was offensive and unacceptable, and I personally used those words, and I believe I made that clear to all involved at the time. Rather than mionimize this, sweep this under the rug, or ignore it, I escalated this to all the other organizers immediately after I heard about it, and I am glad we wrote about it in the wrap-up.

I also apologized to the students that this happened at our event, and asked what they would like to see happen, and what we could do. As the transphobic person had already left, ejection was unnecessary (though would have been the next step), and they immediate suggested putting a better policy in place for our events - which we are doing. We also 'blacklisted' the person from all future railsbridge events.

We agree that transphobic/racist/sexist/homophobic remarks are simply unacceptable, and it was not about who happened to be sitting there. I would say this about the students who happened to be sitting there - they stood up for themselves and each other, and are the reason the maker of the transphobic remarks left even before the organizers found out about it.

Exactly - we see this causing a crazy number of 206 calls.

True. The problem is that we are seeing > 20% of users still on iOS 6.0.0, and still chewing up bandwidth. Upgrade, please upgrade.

We have some ideas on how to test 3G with 6.0.1, but haven't proven it one way or another yet.

It's a wonderful thing. Folks should make this happen everywhere, in whatever language. It also was a great experience to help out with the event.

In Boston there was a python workshop for women which provided much inspiration for this Ruby one: http://bostonpythonworkshop.com/

There was a similar event some years ago also sponsored by the Berkman Center, with some TAs participating in both: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/genderandtech/2009/10/20/post-w...

And then there is the Ada Initiative, which I think is fantastic: http://adainitiative.org/

It may not work for ginormous files, but I've used a flash swf object to upload to s3, released as part of a Rails gem. The latest version is here: https://github.com/nathancolgate/s3-swf-upload-plugin

comparing contegix managed hosting to others like AWS is apples and oranges. There is no level of AWS where you get a team of sysadmins answering your emails within seconds, 24/7.

contegix is worth every penny.
