Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, and that's kind of my whole point. This post is right on par, comment wise, with the other ones. Clearly not much confusion took place. Dang says there "needs to be a standard place" -- but I think the success of this thread disagrees with that statement. Hardly a big deal, just pointing it out.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9473545 We've moved all the posts from this thread to that one, except where the posters had already made a new one there themselves.

Good point.

The more important thing dang said though was this:

> We're probably going to finally automate all of this officially next month.

Which is exactly what I was trying to get at anyway.

London, UK - Unruly - Full Time - No Remote

Video ad-tech company Unruly is the leading programmatic platform for social video advertising.

Scalability and Reliability Engineer http://unruly.co/job/sre/

We're looking for an infrastructure expert to join our extreme programming team, who will design and advocate incremental improvements to our production infrastructure. You will help us handle our ever increasing capacity and latency demands, while moving fast and delivering reliably.

As the most senior operations adviser, you will coach the development teams to help them become better at handling their infrastructure themselves. You will pair-program with developers to implement your ideas, as well as providing an expert voice in team discussions, and researching new technologies.

You must be equally happy discussing ideas and pair programming as you are keen to develop your own skills in all areas of product development. In this role you will work with a wide range of technologies from infrastructure management code, to Java application code through to datastores and networks. You’ll help the whole team embed monitoring and scaling capabilities into everything we build.

Senior Software Developer (Javascript focus)

Voxy (http://www.voxy.com) - Manhattan, NY

Voxy is an adaptive learning platform focused on teaching English as a second language. We've just entered a growth phase as our product takes off in Brazil and Mexico. We have a small tech team that needs to grow rapidly, and whoever we hire next can have a real impact on our engineering culture. We practice XP and real Agile, and have a very respect driven, peer based culture. Our team believes in real engineering, not programming. Stack wise we use Python/Django, Backbone, PostrgesSQL and MongoDB and have native iOS and Adroid apps. We have 4 senior engineering positions open at the moment. We believe in T-shaped generalists so if you're a Python engineer that'd like to learn what mobile development is all about, or the other way around, we'd love to hear from you.

Silent Circle - Geneva - REMOTE the norm, INTERNs welcome We do end-to-end secure communications and a secure mobile platform (Blackphone). The people who work here are highly interested in ensuring that privacy remains a possibility in the world. We need great engineers who like working on Android (both at the application and the OS layer), iOS applications, back-end infrastructure (e.g. relational and distributed D…

Incidentally I checked your hiring page a few days ago and found only non-engineering jobs listed. Will definitely send you an e-mail though.

I hope you don't mind me saying, the hiring page required me to turn on cookies. For a privacy-focused company I think it would look best to not set cookies at all. (Or use cookies only for personal settings like language selection, like DuckDuckGo does.)

Edit: Can't find a public key for Frank nor Travis on pgp.mit.edu, will e-mail JshWright, okay?
