Yep, I was hired as a software engineering intern from one of Scribd's Who is Hiring posts (also ended up interviewing at Stripe by contacting them from their post).

I had to connect to a US VPN to access the jobs page. Is that intentional?

I'm a former employee. Never saw this either.

I'm an ex-employee too (former intern). Not saying that the company is perfect, but the tone of adrianlmm implied that Facebook was a such a bad place to work at ("even facebook"), which it really isn't.

I'm curious as to why that part is hard to believe.

IIRC, Snapchat moved off of app engine to EC2 last year.

If I add 3 employers, I am not able to go back and edit the first two after reaching the preview stage.

just realised I need to diff with origin/bug. Finished the game now :)

In my experience, I think it has more to do with getting an engineer acquainted with the pipeline from writing code to getting it live on production. Once he/she is familiar with this, it takes a huge barrier out of the way for the person to be productive whenever they are ready to write some non trivial code in the codebase.

It is public actually. Check out visadoor.com.

Yep, they were acquired by Paypal.

Oops, sorry about that, I did not understand the context in your comment :)

This person is Alex Schultz who works at Facebook.

That is wrong. It is internet.org's logo.

cd /yor/src/dir bash: cd: /yor/src/dir: No such file or directory <tab> ?

And on anecdotal evidence, I've observed that people who use git intensively everyday often have aliases to these commands that have a low probability of typos.

eg gcom => git commit

It does the job (and some more nice features) pretty well.

Yep, it's called a half volley, you need to hit when you are too close to the ball. So., you need to swing the racquet forward even while it's bouncing, as opposed to a later swing in case of a regular length ball.

Can't any app access all SMSs too in an easier manner? Whatsapp is a similar app, so why hold it to different standards?

Wow. That was harsh.

An article mentions that Whatsapp spent $0 on user acquisition and marketing. If that's true, then yes, it's around $500 million/engineer.

Ah Paul Graham it is!

Very cool! On a side note, Is the voice Drew Houston?

Yes, I use it too! Saves me a lot of time.

  $ cat ~/.bash_profile | grep git
  alias gco="git checkout"
  alias gpu="git pull"
  alias gcom="git commit"
  alias gfr="git fetch && git rebase -i"
  alias g="git"

I've shot you an email. Thanks!

That is true. However, while we still have plenty of RoR code, a lot of our services have moved to Java and Scala.

I work at Groupon. We'll be following up with more details soon!
