I'd recommend listing them, especially if you are interested in jobs that use them. If you are suffering from a deluge of recruiters, by all means, do what you need to do to slow down the flow - but it doesn't seem like that's your problem. Here's the thing - the people…

Exactly this. Listing things you've done as a hobby that you aren't comfortable saying you can work with is a bonus. It shows you are committed to being a passionate developer, which is of course a very very good thing.

Docker inc - http://www.docker.com/jobs/ - San Francisco, CA

Software Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, Web Designer At Docker Inc, we believe that containerization will soon become the next big thing, the next tool which will be part of every developer and sysadmin toolbox. What's "containerization"? The name comes the LXC technology (Linux Containers), and the technique is also known as "Lightweight Virtualization".

That's why we launched Docker (http://www.docker.io/), an Open Source tool enabling anyone to run those Linux Containers very easily. Containers boot 1000x faster than virtual machines; their disk and memory footprint are also much lower; and they work on virtually all current platforms (from physical servers to public cloud instances). We think that they are the future of virtualization, and will soon become ubiquitous.

Convinced? Then fork the repo on github (https://github.com/dotcloud/docker) and have a look at the code. Not convinced? Then check the website (http://www.docker.io/), which contains more details, demos, and screencasts. Excited about this? Then join our engineering team!

Your responsibilities will include:

- being a contributor to the Docker project, which means contributing patches, and reviewing and merging pull requests from the community;

- working on some server-side applications; participate in product discussions, influence the roadmap, and take ownership and responsibility over new projects to make them happen.

You can qualify if you...:

- can read and write Go code (because docker itself is in Go);

- can read and write Python code (because many tools and services built around Docker are in Python);

- are familiar with network protocols: the lower layers like IP, TCP, and UDP; and the higher layers like HTTP;

- have experience in scaling large applications;

- believe that writing unit and functional tests is important.

I'm another dev at KA. Just wanted to chime in that we're also hiring general (not just mobile) devs, data scientist-engineers, general product designers, and interns in all of the above categories!

Hi! I applied to Khan Academy for an internship and was denied.

My question is, what do you look for in an intern applicant? (I thought my application was solid with 10 years of experience in all sorts of programming)

London, UK - Board Intelligence hiring Rails and Javascipt (ideally Angular.js) developers. Remote a possibility.

==============

Our goal is to improve decision-making at the boards of the world's largest companies.

Most corporate boards are run ineffectively. Think how effective they could be, and think how much that could improve the ways companies are run. (Not just in terms of profitability, but also in terms of ethics and long-term value).

BI has a successful consulting business and now aims to become a high-growth tech business. Our app is used by CEOs and directors of some of the UK's largest companies, and we're now expanding internationally.

Culture: despite our corporate target market, we're a young, small team (~15 people, 4 on the tech team, most employees in their 20s). Many of the non-tech team members have an interest in visual design or data visualisation, so there's a strong product focus. Oh, and if you enjoyed Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow, you'd probably fit right in. (About half the team has read it and it ties in closely with our work).
