Many types of projects are now vibable.

Sea Foundry | Oakland, CA | Remote | https://seafoundry.com

Sea Foundry is developing hardware and software solutions to address critical bottlenecks in coral reef restoration. We work closely with non-profit organizations and marine biologists throughout the tropics to enhance the efficiency and efficacy of coral restoration.

We are seeking an experienced full stack software developer to join our small team.

Skills and Experience We're Looking For:

- 5+ years of proven experience as a full stack software developer

- Proficiency in React and front-end technologies (experience with Tailwind and TypeScript is a plus)

- Deep familiarity with Rails or similar MVC web frameworks

- Basic knowledge of Python

- Experience with AWS technologies (e.g. S3, EC2)

- Passion for environmental conservation and coral reef restoration

Andrej wrote an interesting post some years back titled Software 2.0 about the direction he saw software engineering going. It's more about changes in software than the changes in the job market, but I suspect you'd still find it interesting. https://karpathy.medium.com/software-2-0-a64152b37c35

The author could share their public key. It's awkward today, but I suspect services will arise to make signing and verification of NFTs more user-friendly for artists and fans alike.

I really enjoyed this article and appreciated the author's sober take. That said I'm a little more optimistic about Web3.

While NFTs can be confusing, over-hyped, or even fraudulent it is clear that they give artists new power. The power to create a scarce resource, prove that they created it, and sell it for substantially more than they could could otherwise sell electronic collectibles. How much of this is due to hype and how much is due to the ability to record and validate the "deed" to the NFT on the blockchain? I think that's an open question that will be more clear over time.

The author also understates the importance of DAOs and smart contracts imo. The real power of a DAOs or smart contracts is not in replacing financial instruments, but in replacing legal ones. I think in a short amount of time it will not be unusual to see wills executed via smart contracts.

I'm sure you're not the only one, but I find multiple monitors invaluable particularly for front-end work.

I might find myself rapidly switching between framework documentation, developer tools, a preview pane, and a similar piece of code that I'm using as a template. I'm infinitely happier when each switch is an eye movement and not a jarring keyboard stroke that redraws the entire screen.

I'm curious if you're unphased by constant cmd-tabbing.

Feastin | https://feastin.com | Oakland, CA, USA | Full-time | REMOTE | React/React Native/Rails

Feastin is a food company. We believe that concepts like grocery stores and take-out will soon seem quaint. We think distinctions between groceries, prepared foods, meal-kits and take-out will be looked back upon as artificial. We're building a better, more efficient way to deliver food into your home. We launched in the Bay area last summer and are now operating with over 30 restaurant and wholesaler partners.

We're less concerned with your familiarity with the perfect set of tech skills and more interested that you can learn quickly, work hard, and work smart. That said if you have experience with React, React Native, or Rails you should be able to hit the ground running on day 1 and that's definitely a plus.

We're not into high-stakes interviews or grueling take-home tests that you "should" be able to do in a few hours. If after a quick chat w/ the team we think you could be a good fit, we will pay you for a 20-40 hour contract job and decide where to go from there.

Email me directly at mike@feastin.com if this sounds like something that you'd be interested in.

I like the term you've coined, but their claim is actually significantly weaker.

I found this free ebook to be a good (and significantly shorter) introduction to GTD.

I (apparently incorrectly) thought they were similar enough to compare. What are the significant additional features that Ember and Angular provide?

It works! Very cool.

Can I clone GitTorrent with GitTorrent?

Do web components have a chance when a polyfills are required for iOS? Does anyone have any experience w/ Polymer performance on iOS?

Thanks for the suggestion! Does anyone have any experience using syncthing for git repositories? I know it's not Dropbox's strongest suit.

Currently I'm using a hacky script that watches the project directory and rsyncs the project whenever anything changes. It works, but it's slow, and I have to manually keep the rsync --ignore flags in sync with the .gitignore file for the project. Hoping someone out there has something better.

It strikes me as a little absurd to say that taking shortcuts is always a bad idea. Let's look at a few shortcuts you might take.

Allow the page to break if the user's browser does not support websockets If you know that 95% of your target audience uses modern browsers this seems like a reasonable compromise.

Don't write enough unit tests Maybe you're using a library that is difficult to mock. Maybe most of your logic is happening at the db layer. Eventually you may want to thoroughly test this piece of code, but it's a ton of work to mock a database in a meaningful way.

Write a monolithic service instead of a modular one While it's bad to let a single service grow too large, when you're starting out, it can be helpful to write it all out, and _then_ see how it can be broken apart. (It's often hard to foresee everything at the design stage.)

Finally, a lot of code ends up being never used. Nobody cares about well-factored well-tested code that isn't used. Sometimes a dirty version is the quickest way to tell if a project makes sense at all.

Check out Apache Cordova http://cordova.apache.org/

Installing extensions can dramatically slow down browsers. I wonder if the lack of extensions is responsible for the quickness users experience with a fresh install.

They called Docker broken.

  From a security and composability perspective, the Docker
  process model - where everything runs through a central
  daemon - is fundamentally flawed. To “fix” Docker would
  essentially mean a rewrite of the project, while inheriting
  all the baggage of the existing implementation.

Docker isn't claiming that Rocket doesn't welcome the notion of portability. They are saying that it would be a shame if portability was lost in the world of multiple container, distributed applications.

Do you have a public Dockerfile for your image? https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/imiell/osquery/

From the article: Lockheed shares fell 0.6 percent to $175.02 amid a broad market selloff.

Shouldn't the market be a little more excited about this?

MadEye creator here. That's definitely a valid concern. I can tell you that we're not slurping up your repository (we aren't), but you have no reason to believe me. We offer an enterprise version that can be hosted entirely behind your firewall if this is a real concern.

Unless I'm missing something, wouldn't the child dependency be enough to prevent the unit from being dropped into another library or app? That's a good point you bring up about knowing where to "test drive" the changes from, though usually on the apps I've worked on, they've been small enough that the relevant integration test could be found without much detective work.

I guess I haven't been involved in too many 2-3 year monolithic projects. Maybe that's when a stricter symmetrical unit test policy makes the most sense.

What other levels of tests do you end up running besides your unit tests? Do you have any integrated unit tests? Functional tests? End to end tests?

Might one of the problems be that we place too much importance on the "symmetrical" unit test. In your example the child code is still covered when it is extracted from the parent.

As a developer that often prefers tests at the functional level, the primary benefit of tests for me is to get faster feedback while I am developing.

Sorry about the back button..working on a fix for that now.

Impress.js is a html/css based presentation framework. More info here: https://github.com/bartaz/impress.js

At MadEye, we want to make it easier to start coding on open source projects (no downloading, installing dependencies, etc). We chose impress.js, because it's an amazing framework, and is entirely static resources, but we plan to target other projects soon.
