Keeping track of crypto amidst all the hype recently, it's abundantly clear to me that the recent explosion of speculation based trading is a signifier that cryptocurrency is a bubble just waiting to burst.
I don't think this is bad in any right. It looks (and I grew up in the bay area through turn of the century) just like the dot com bubble. The promising part of this is that the underlying technologies being developed, a way to distribute information and business logic in a way where there is an indisputable fully traceable truth, is huge. I think of blockchain-like platforms like Ethereum as the ARPANET to our internet. The opportunities to supplant existing fully centralized systems such as stock exchanges, escrow systems, supply chain/provenance tracking, etc. with a fully decentralized or hybrid approach is huge.
In the end though, I think it will come down to where governments draw the line in the sand. The sad but true reality is that the regulators with the guns will always have ultimate power.

Interview process: A take home problem with a follow up phone pairing session on the solution and 1 onsite interview.
I recently set up a raspi to monitor my wine cellar temperatures. If you're looking for a 3rd party solution, check out librato [1]. We use them at work and they're really great. I hooked temperature readings up to librato and set up threshold alerts within a few min without ever having used their python api before.
Good Eggs brings local, farm-fresh groceries right to your door! We are a technology focused company with a CTO who previously founded Carbon Five, an exceptional agile development shop. See our Engineering Blog and Github account:
We have a great mission (https://www.goodeggs.com/philosophy) - to grow and sustain local food systems worldwide - and everyone here is deeply committed to it. We have expanded to 4 cities - New York, New Orleans, Los Angeles and San Francisco - and our investors include Sequoia Capital, Harrison Metal, Baseline Ventures, Collaborative Fund and Westly Group, among others.
There are ~20 of us on the engineering team and we’re actively growing. We’re building next-generation web and mobile applications with JavaScript across the stack, including Node.js, MongoDB, AngularJS, and CoffeeScript. The team has been built from the ground up with practices around test-driven development, pair programming, and continuous deployment.
== About you ===
Ideal Candidates Will Have:
* 3-5+ years full-stack web application development in Ruby, Python, Java, or JavaScript
* TDD experience / experience with pairing / Continuous Deployment
* Domain expertise in: e-commerce, billing, payments, or warehouse distribution software
Downside is that after using a proper functional language (clojure[script]) you end up wanting some really basic things such as immutable core data structures.
I feel like if you start from scratch on a javascript project, it's possible to program in a functional manner. I've found it really tough to introduce functional concepts to an already full stack javascript codebase.
BTW: I'd recommend ramda [1] for those interested in functional javascript programming. The auto-currying makes it way more powerful than underscore/lodash in terms of encouraging pure reusable functions.

I'm not sure what you've come up with, since your post was deleted, but I'm looking forward to it!
I also home brewed a system very similar to what I described at my previous job. With the current information out there, it looked almost the same as relay, except without GraphQL. We implemented our own query/synchronization mechanism.
Especially excited at the idea of a single store. I've always had a little bit of a beef with Flux when it came to interdependencies within stores.
I feel like one of the problems with react that is currently not well solved is the integration of a client and server side router for a truly isomorphic application. There have been quite a few implementations that rely on a single om-like state that they serialize and deserialize to the client. Relay feels like it would fit extremely well into this paradigm.
Shameless plug, the company I (just started) working at connects producers with consumers. We handle the logistics of getting the fantastic products from our producers to you.

I'm not trying to be negative in any way, because this is awesome. I really believe there are so many ways to interact with machines that we haven't figured out yet.
But ... can't you achieve this level of efficiency, maybe even better with a combination of auto completion and snippets?
With python and vim, I use jedi-vim[0] and neosnippet[1] for textmate compatible snippet completion.
I think the main problem is that in vim everything works like a buffer. When I browse files or any sort of search results, I can use the standard vim key bindings to navigate through or even dismiss the window.
With emacs, it seems like I have to learn the system to even use some plugins like projectile effectively.
Bravo man, I tried to make the switch from vim to emacs evil and failed horribly. I would eventually throw emacs into a state where it wasn't in any of the evil modes, then bash my keyboard with C-X C-C. Is it possible to use emacs+evil without knowing emacs inside and out?
Emacs with evil, without a doubt, runs so much smoother while editing large projects. The biggest point is that asynchronous operations are a lot easier to perform in emacs. You can get close to it with plugins like vim-dispatch or vimproc, but they always felt like a second class solution to me.
You get cool stuff like search/replace preview and super smooth async operations in the background (like on the fly linting with flycheck).
In the end, I'm still using vim. Unite with vimproc is "good enough" for me. For me, the only real place where async operation is a huge problem is with file search operations. Every few months I try to use emacs for a day, maybe next time it will stick :)
I don't think this is bad in any right. It looks (and I grew up in the bay area through turn of the century) just like the dot com bubble. The promising part of this is that the underlying technologies being developed, a way to distribute information and business logic in a way where there is an indisputable fully traceable truth, is huge. I think of blockchain-like platforms like Ethereum as the ARPANET to our internet. The opportunities to supplant existing fully centralized systems such as stock exchanges, escrow systems, supply chain/provenance tracking, etc. with a fully decentralized or hybrid approach is huge.
In the end though, I think it will come down to where governments draw the line in the sand. The sad but true reality is that the regulators with the guns will always have ultimate power.
