We're a 2.5 year old marketplace for vintage, used, and handmade musical instruments in Chicago. We grew from 6 to 40 employees in the last year and are really rocking this industry. If you want to build HATEOAS APIs and Domain Driven Ruby/Rails while playing guitar or twiddling synth knobs at work, this is the job for you.
If you are wondering if a job where you get to play music and write great code in an environment that values best practices and engineers owning product (no PM's here) is real, yes I assure you it is indeed.

Reverb.com in Chicago, Ruby, ElasticSearch, iOS, in-house tech recruiter, and more!
We are hiring for all the things. If you're a musician this is the job you've dreamed of but never thought existed. Well, it does. Come work with an incredible bunch of people who value solid code just as much as they do the craft of making music. We're two years old and growing like wildfire. This is still a chance to get an early position at the Etsy of the musical instrument world.
This is not a venture backed shoot for the moon or fail hard startup. We're making real money and helping people build real music businesses online. Local preferred but we're considering remote in the coming months.
If you're in Chicago and want to join a fast growing company focused on building a marketplace for musicians come check us out at http://product.reverb.com/work-at-reverb. We are only 2 years old and about to cross into the top 10 music equipment retailers in 2015. if you play music and love clean code this is your dream job.
It's cool because we're putting the care into hand curating our listings so that we have really cool collections (you can check em out here: http://reverb.com/handpicked-collections).
It's also cool because we're experimenting with machine learning (poking at prediction.io currently) to see if we can give people more of what they want. And we're building Ruby services and we have an iPhone app. And all this with only two developer, a UX designer and an intern. And it's cool because we're actually making money. And, we're hiring ;)
We're rocking the world with a marketplace for musicians! Buy & sell vintage and used guitars, effects, drums, etc. Launched in early 2013, we're funded, are generating real revenue, and growing aggressively.
We're working with Rails 3.2, Ruby 1.9/2.0 and domain driven and service oriented architecture. We're looking for Senior Rubyists and iOS developers. Competitive salary, stock options, insurance, flexible vacation, and a discount on music gear are all part of the package.
Developers with full stack knowledge or specialized knowledge are both welcome to apply. We want people who are product focused and self motivated. This is a tiny team and a chance to make a huge impact.
p.s. You get to work out of a world class music shop surrounded by rare and vintage gear.
The reason is capslock is on the home row, and control is not. I use a Kinesis Advantage keyboard, so ctrl is also in a good spot (thumb), but for most people, less stress would be to use the homerow key rather than bend their pinky to hit ctrl. It's a minor thing but it adds up.
If you use escape with vim you're actually "doing it wrong" in the sense that vim was not designed for your keyboard. On older keyboards escape was where the Tab key is now. There's no reason to abuse your wrists with repetitive motions going up to the escape key.
Spending a few hours up front improving the tools I use saves me hours every day. A small investment in getting your tools right more than pays off. I am insanely productive in my workplace while saving myself from RSI by using smart vim configs.
it feels like the substitute operator doesn't follow the sentence conventions. you can't saw (substitute around word) or anything like that. it feels like a standalone bit of functionality. I was trying to express reusable bits in my post, things you can build on and expand. am I wrong?
sorry, made some mistakes late at night. but "most" examples wrong? I think I only screwed up on the $ examples. if you see anything else wrong can you please point it out, so that I can fix em and not mislead people, thanks!
I'll try to expand the post as I internalize the learnings myself. I'm no vim expert, I just find that explaining it to others helps me solidify my own learning
thanks guys, I wrote the post at 3am and that was a bad time to be writing about vim as it turns out :) I've removed the bad examples for now and will go back to the post and add more as I think of them. The general idea was to explain that vim is not voodoo, but is very mnemonic and conversational.
