About ConvertKit
* We are a fully remote company, scattered across 8 states and 4 countries.
* Bootstrapped, profitable, and growing very (very!) quickly. [1]
* We put a high emphasis on work / life balance, and we value and strive for 40 hour work weeks. There aren't set hours, but there's a lot to get done!
* We have a positive, vibrant, and genuine culture. [2]
* Working with Nathan Barry is super awesome!!
About the role
* You'll be part of our awesome engineering team, helping to build our product. We primarily use Rails, Mysql, Redis and Sidekiq to get the job done.
* We're facing real (fun) scaling challenges because of our incredible growth. Ideally you've been there, done that before.
* We're also looking for someone who cares deeply about writing clean, maintainable, well-tested code, and generally tends to leave code in a better state than when you encounter it.
Requirements
* Significant (5+ years) full-stack Rails experience and scaling a Rails app for rapid growth.
* We don't have a separate infrastructure team. You must be comfortable with helping to run, scale, troubleshoot and maintain a large production app that sends 250+ Million emails a month.
That's quite the cynical comment. I can only assume from your comment that you think this company doesn't deserve to have good news.
Some of us wants to have a future where electric car is the norm, rather than the exception and Tesla has arguably brought this possibility to our generation by itself.
I, for one, welcome this news and wish them the best.
Element level selectors are so often demonized and having written quite a bit of CSS in my life, I have come to appreciate how easy it is to write and maintain CSS when you actually use those element level selectors mixed with relationship selectors ( >, +, ~,) and attribute selectors.
It's 7$/month. You sure can be made uncomfortable easily.
If someone wants a private repo but doesn't value his/her private code to the amount of 7$/month for ALL their private repos, then I guess it shouldn't have been made private in the first place.
FWIW, a Big Mac combo is around the same price. One is junk, the other is where you showcase/store all your professionnal knowledge and experience.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TGV Might be worth a read. While it may not be up to par to your standard, it's one of the train system the most complex and speedy in the entire world.
Not excuses, just maths. I'm not a US citizen. But I'm canadian. And my province has tried to get high speed train through the border, but the economics never added up.
That's the problem with N. America, airplanes are cheaper for our geographic situation. Because routes are not set in stone, they can be changed as the demand adjusts itself.
When you lay out train track, you can't change your mind in 20 years or you need to change your infrastructure.
The difference is because in America, there's 2(3) countries. In Europe, you travel between ~10 countries. The budget/mentality is different since you operate in international level with international import/exports.
I'm sorry but I really don't agree with this. One of the point the OP made is that if you develop in SQLite and deploy on a Postgresql database, it means you discard all the features that postgresql has over SQLite (data types and SQL Queries for example).
You wouldn't test your Facebook consuming API code with a Twitter endpoint, why do you apply the same logic to your DBMS?
I think where Google could build momentum is to try to go for a private ecosystem where everything you store (photos, notes, etc.) would be private. The facebook opposite.
That would be a solid alternative to Apple's ecosystem and you would see the benefits of going from Facebook to Google.
Google has a much better chance of competing against Apple's photo/notes/cloud services than it would beating Facebook. Also I believe there is going to be a tendency in the next few years to move out of Facebook because of the social network effect people want to get out of.
Google would be the only solid candidate for anyone not wanting to jump into Apple's products.
docker-compose is no magic, it only maps a YAML file to docker's command arguments. While I think docker-compose is useful in some cases, I strongly advise to not use it at first so you understand how docker actually works.
Once you understand how docker works, using the YAML file can become useful to lighten your load.
I run exactly zero extension and used an ad-blocker for maybe 1 month in my whole lifetime.
With that being said, I am genuinely curious how these 2 things are necessary for you to consider a browser. Are there extensions that I don't have that is crazy for me not to have?
That post is a perfect example of my bloggin issues. I wrote the first part and felt nobody cared so I didn't write the second one. I guess I should take my own advice and write that second part ;)
This is the most important lesson for anyone who would like to start blogging.
So many times I've started and trashed drafts because I thought it was dumb, stupid and that everyone ought to know what I was writing about.
But then, once in a while, I start writing a post and decide to post it whatever happens. Every single time, I get people thanking me for writing it up. I have people saying how it helped them.
So yes, blog little things. I don't blog little things as much as I should.
And as a side note, comments on blog are usually troll. I have so many comments saying how I'm dumb and how I don't understand how programming works. These people are just frustrated by their own lack of knowledge. Ignore the troll and keep blogging. This might sound personal and what not. Feel free to ignore this comment if you think I'm full of it :)
