Deployment times for config changes have been operating at the sub-5m timeframe for at least two years. It used to take hours (never days) to propagate changes across the server estate, but not anymore. And while we were admittedly late to the DevOps train, we have made up lost ground. We have nearly 100 individual APIs to control almost any aspect of our products. CLIs if you don't want to write to the API. A Sandbox to test config changes locally. The ability to validate OAuth tokens at the Edge, cache GraphQL responses, and throttle and/or quota API traffic on a global basis. Hashtag "legacy CDN."
Have they fixed the "Google Chrome Helper: CoreText CopyFontsForRequest received mig IPC error (FFFFFECC) from font server" error that has been around forever?

Startup Weekend Atlanta (Start Atlanta)! We are planning the 3rd annual startup weekend in Atlanta. We have a base Wordpress site up, and need some graphic design help. The more pressing need is for a logo. The event will be held at the Georgia Tech ATDC in January 2011. Our team of 6 has no graphic design expertise, and we will otherwise have to pay for the design work out of sponsorship dollars. The upside for you is getting your design in front of Atlanta's entrepreneurship community. Sound like a win-win?
The recruiting industry is ripe for disruption. Most headhunters use nothing more than keyword-matching software to find candidates. How many recruiting emails do you get where a recruiter finds one obscure line in your email, and presumes you are an expert in the field?
I'm thinking some additional intelligence can be added to the process. Figure out how many OSS projects I have contributed to; figure out how many Github commits I have; figure out who I'm connected to on LinkedIn; what conferences have I spoken at?
Its this sort of metadata, not my cold set of resume skills, that will help employers find a proper match.
