#673Earlier quoted context omitted.
I actually had my first interview was told I passed it and they would schedule the next one with me within a couple days then never heard back. :(
Always follow up if that happens. Things get lost and forgotten, and people sometimes forget who's side of the court the ball was in. It happens.
Sad but true.
I got a few interviews and the recruiters used special web-apps for the process and even then they didn't think about getting back and tell me it's done.
And why should they? They get paid for good hires, not for telling the bad ones they aren't needed.
We probably need more comments like the one of devnull42 to raise awareness.

#674ServiceFrame - Dublin, Ireland - Full Stack Software Engineer
ServiceFrame improves the quality of outsourcing relationships. Outsourcing brings together two organisations in an unusual alliance to deliver a set of services. Objectives are misaligned, cultures and sometimes languages differ. Until now, this has resulted in fractured communication between the two organisations, and eventually in failure. ServiceFrame establishes clear and consistent communication between the two organisations, better control for the customer, better margins for the supplier and a higher success rate for both.
We're looking for full stack product developers; people who are as happy designing and implementing new UI features as they are building out distributed data integration systems in AWS. Self-starters who can own the development of features from day one. People who are passionate about quality and can deliver. People who are brave enough to fight their corner and big enough to know when they are wrong. People who like to put themselves in our customers shoes and who are able to think big. People who are innovative and also able to simplify.
We currently use technologies like C#, CoffeeScript, io.js, Docker, AWS, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Handlebars, Stylus. We believe in functional programming, SOLID principles, DRY, testing, continuous deployment, REST. We don't care if you know our specific stack already: the right kind of developer will pick it up quickly, and show us how we can improve it (Haskell, React and etcd would be easy sells, for example). Our development process relies heavily on GitHub, Slack and emoji.

#676Colchis Capital Management / San Francisco, CA
Contract, FTE, remote, intern, relocation, visa sponsorship all possible for the right fit.
Competitive compensation.
Three opportunities:
1. Help us build our next-generation automated trading system. We are building in Go, and Python would be useful. There are interesting challenges in profiling/optimization (across layers of the stack), distributed testing strategy, distributed tracing and monitoring, interpreter/compiler design and implementation.
2. Help us build our internal user facing "single pane of glass", which will provide visibility into and control of our systems. Deep front-end juju required: know JavaScript for real, plus a solid grasp of HTML/CSS. Have an opinion on JS tooling (including frameworks such as React or AngularJS) because I don't. :)
3. Own our on-premise infrastructure. Windows Server 2012 / Active Directory experience, plus networking and storage system experience, required. Bonus points for SAS, Tableau Server, or SQL Server administration experience. We're looking for someone that geeks out hard on infrastructure IT.
In each case, interest in or experience with modern *nix DevOps tooling would be a bonus.
Please get in touch if you're interested: my first name @colchiscapital.com

I solved your little challenge two months ago but never heard back from you. Mine was the email titled "Worst JSON API ever", with the tongue-in-cheek snarky remarks about your upper/lower case tricks and string/array confusion and session limits. So I ran my Python code again just now and noticed that it still works. Should I post it here and make you rewrite your challenge? Just kidding! I wouldn't do that. But I d…

#678General Assembly | http://ga.co | Boston | Contract or Full-time | Web Development Instructor (JS, Node, Angular)
We teach people to level up in their tech skills or make a career change to something they love in tech, business, or design.
We're looking for instructors who specialize in Javascript for our 12-week web development bootcamp in late April. The program runs for 12 weeks with 2 weeks of training and planning beforehand, so the position is 4/13 - 7/17. There's another course starting in June as well.
Major topics: Javascript, Node, Express, Hapi, Firebase, HTML/CSS, AJAX, jQuery, Ruby, Rails as an API, Postgres, Angular. Many materials already exist, but most instructors choose to adapt them to their teaching style and/or create new materials as needed. Some examples of student final projects: http://gallery.ga.co/
Many of our instructors have worked as developers for a while and want to try something different, particularly mentoring students (who are an incredibly dedicated bunch). Teaching is challenging, rewarding, and deeply meaningful to all of us here, and students consistently say that taking our bootcamp course has been one of the most transformative, empowering experiences of their lives.
Details:
- You have at least 2 years of experience as a web developer
- You've worked with Javascript/Node/Angular and perhaps Rails
- You have a knack for explaining how code works to someone who's just starting out
- You enjoy teaching and being a mentor to others
- You're kind, respectful, and enthusiastic
- You can't wait to share your knowledge and skills with our students!
Interested? Email anna.tsykalova@ga.co.

We're an investment management shop with a focus on big data, looking for someone comfortable in PHP and MySQL to join the team. Offices in LA and DC, but the role would be based in DC.

Heh, I also solved it a few months ago and didn't get a response (though I wasn't nearly as snarky as you good sir, hat tip ). I agree that they should at least send a response to every participant. Even an automated one with a more fun problem would be nice.
Hey there! Sorry for the delay in response. Rest assure we review all applicants and reach out if there is a strong match. We appreciate you taking the time and working on the challenge, hopefully you enjoyed it :)
