We're pretty much hiring for all kinds of software engineers. Backend, frontend, machine learning, data science, what have you. Squarespace is a beautiful, extremely versatile web publishing platform serving over a million customers.
I've been here for 1.5 years on the frontend engineering team and am really happy to say I (still) love working here and can't see how you can have a better work environment.
Unlimited PTO, flexible schedule, good parental leave, 100% covered healthcare, beautiful office, (public) swimming pool across the street in the summer, complimentary catered lunch every day, etc. etc.
People are really smart, creative, and hardworking here and I'd be happy to answer any questions if you want to chat about it: [email protected]
It works for any measurement! That choice is left completely up to the user. Instead of wrapping it in an event handler, you might instead set a variable for 'start time', run animations on requestAnimationFrame, and pass in the current time.
The folks who disagree seem to be aligning with the reasoning that it's easier to raise capital and be closer to investors in SF.
But raising money != starting a company. Sure, it's important at some point, but this is the growing problem with the industry as a whole, no? People show up with just a pitch deck and want a million bucks.
Most responsible (and technically-capable) founders are trying to save as much money as possible and get on the investing boat as late as possible.
I definitely agree that mind wandering is where a lot of creativity happens and that it shouldn't be dismissed as just extraneous activity.
However, I think in this case, the author is talking more about this kind of mental baggage that people accumulate while scrolling through Facebook feeds and the like. We're essentially - whether we like it or not - memorizing crazy amounts of unnecessary information, and thus throttling creativity because we're still processing where Kathy went on vacation and what she ate there.
