I'll sign an NDA and tell you if I can make it or not or maybe give you insight as to whether you'd get crushed or not. I seriously couldn't care less about your lawyerly endeavors but if it's worth it to you we can figure out either equity or payment. My email is in my profile.

I feel as if this is an automated posting. I submitted an application after seeing one of these and heard not a single thing back. Is there no way to make sure that the resume does not sink to the depths of the pile?

This is basically a warning to every single person going through bootcamps right now: Your skills are not special. You can be replaced with ease. Unless you differentiate yourself through what you learn either at your job or after the camp and demonstrate it through your work then your job will be kaput. That's basically what all of those Everyone Can Code advertisements were trying to achieve which is to make these skills a commodity.

Good luck.

I think this is hard for most companies to understand. The natural growth pattern is to take what you're good at, tweak it and sell it to another market. The problem is that instead of creating a process or product that's tailor made for the market it's meant to serve instead you get something that's close yet just not right.

What the article is implying that the only way to combat this is for there to be a substantial buffer between the established company its innovation group lest their be some amount of tainting. They only thing innovation group should be provided is money to try to come up with their own solutions without any interference or guidance beyond the main goal. Quite honestly I think this is impossible unless you hire people with nearly no knowledge of the established processes at the company unless you want intellectual incest. Maybe a single manager might suffice but beyond that I don't think it would work.

I have to wonder how amazon is coming up with its new ideas. They seem to be batting at least .100 when the field is batting 0.
