Tech tends to be more friendly with vacation time in the US than most other industries. It still varies a lot, but it’s not uncommon for a tech company to start you with 3-5 weeks …

As with anything that is potentially contentious and involves humans, there's a lot of nuance here and breaking it all down into a couple paragraphs doesn't really respect the uniq…

Nope, I missed that part if it was in the Gumroad post.

We do, yeah. We include "target" seniority designations in the job post titles, so if it doesn't say "senior", "principal", etc, then it isn't a senior position. We also don't (for…

Elastic works similarly, though not to the extent that was described in that Gumroad post. It also varies a bit by team, but I've worked on many teams over the last 5.5 years here,…

Wouldn’t this problem be even harder to deal with if you didn’t work remotely? You only need to plan for the radius of one person’s commute rather than limiting your housing option…

For every one position we hire for we’ll see 100s of applicants, and we might have 5-10 good choices to hire. Filters are a critical part of managing a candidate pipeline, and for …

And another: Edge doesn’t support nonces for script files. It supports them for inline scripts though.

Elastic is technically a European company and is distributed around the world. EU headquarters is in Amsterdam, US headquarters in Mountain View, AP headquarters in Singapore. http…

As of 6.5, the Elastic Stack ships with a logging app and an infrastructure monitoring app out of the box in Kibana. They are both new, so expect a bunch of new features im 6.6 onw…

I live in a small city in the US, and remote work has provided me opportunities for career progression and networking that would otherwise be impossible for me unless I moved my fa…

We don't do much with C++, unfortunately. The closest thing to this would probably be golang on the Beats team.

Possibly, though it's hard to say without seeing the details of your experience. There are multiple java engineering positions open as well, though.

Kibana's an open source project, so if you're looking to volunteer, you can contribute directly to it without having to jump through hoops, do interviews, etc. We follow the same p…

If it helps at all, Kibana also had to be updated to go from multiple types to a single type. It was a big project, and a bunch of approaches were explored for dealing with existin…

You have to place the freeze on each of the three credit agencies individually. In most states it's $10 each, but it can vary state to state. https://www.freeze.equifax.com/Freeze/…

I strongly encourage anyone in the US to put a full credit security freeze on all three credit agencies. When a credit freeze is in place, you still have access to all of your exis…

Cool plugin! If you are the author, would you be willing to share your experience of building the plugin to begin with? We don't have a publicly documented plugin API or anything, …

It looks like the "live tail" logic is based on polling on an interval - how is that different than Kibana's auto-refresh feature in the timepicker?

Out of curiosity, would the homebrew maintainers be open to replacing google analytics with an open source setup if the infrastructure was sponsored?

This is great advice all around, but get a local lawyer involved to prepare your will. Even in US, there is not a single set of laws that apply to wills and power of attorney. It v…

I work at EY, and while I wasn't directly involved in this acquisition, if anyone has any questions or concerns about what this means for Engine Yard customers or Deis users, I am …

If you can get beyond the ancient website design, this is actually an amazingly simple tool. It is trivial to record a small portion of your screen, and it saves directly to your d…
