In New York City there are a lot of jobs. I went to 3 job interviews and got offers from 2. All 3 had tests of my programming skill, though the 3rd was ruthless about minor syntax errors. For instance, the guy talking to me asked me how to find all of the Apache servers running on a server. He just wanted the number. I typed: ps aux | grep apache | wc -l but this wrongly included the command I was typing. We were wor…

Email him this, which is more succinct and does the same: ps aux | grep [a]pache | wc -l (because you use the character class, it doesn't find itself as what it searches for is different than its text)

[OT] Wouldn't "ps aux | grep -c [a]pache" work the same way? Everyone seems to put "| wc -l|" but I have used the -c option to do that directly.

I would be interested to hear from YC companies (or companies at SF incubators) that are looking for tech co-founders.

I'm not looking for a co-founder per se but the first person I hire will be the second person in the company and have a similar level of influence that a co-founder would, with the additional benefit of coming into a company that already has product, customers and cash flow.

ps ax|grep -Ei '(apache|httpd)'|grep Ss|wc -l

lsof|grep TCP|grep -Ei '(apache|httpd)|cut -f 1 -d ' '|sort|uniq|wc -l

apache -S 2>&1|grep server|wc -l

apache2ctl -S 2>&1|grep server|wc -l

are processes/threads really servers? His question was a bit ambiguous. I wouldn't have accepted that job position either. :)

Copenhagen, Denmark. Remote not possible and we can't help with relocation.

I've just been hired as CTO for a well-funded startup, Greenwire. We recycle used consumer electronics (Primarily mobile phones) and send them for refurbishment and resale.

I'm looking for a developer to help me build the IT infrastructure. We'll be working on LAMP technology, probably PHP.

Just a bit of feedback here: When you can't help with relocation (which definitely can be costly, don't get me wrong) you contradict the notion that you're a well-funded startup.
