Just came here to say big thanks to you and everyone else at Khan Academy for the tremendous work you're all doing. As a working parent who has now been thrust into the role of teacher, it's been incredibly helpful. Thank you!
I would love to work for an outfit like Pivotal. Unfortunately I live in Maine and I know they don't do remote. :( I'm feeling seriously burnt out at my current position as the culture seems to be predominantly "throw something against the wall." There seems to be little thought towards maintainability, testing, etc. so feels like I'm pushing a rock up the hill continually trying to provide suggestions in PRs, etc.
If anyone knows of any well run consulting outfits that work with remote workers, practice pairing, TDD, and just all around "giving a shit" I'd welcome pointers.
Thanks for sharing this! The only thing I had found was stuff like SportsXML, etc. but it took me weeks to just get a demo data dump for a single game and the pricing was way too much to bite off.
Great work! I tried the workout for the first time after a run this afternoon... it kicked my butt! As I was following along on the ipad I was thinking a simple app would be perfect for this. Love the implementation and visuals!
I worked with a talented C++ programmer who had flown airplanes in the Pacific Theatre in WWII. I don't think he necessarily needed the money as much as just enjoyed the job but it goes to show that you can still write code when you're older. We always enjoyed taking him out to lunch on Veteran's day too!
