For context I could already speak Mandarin because I grew up bilingual but always found that I've have to laboriously re-learn vocabulary for literacy. Clozemaster seems like the most sustainable way for me to maintain an expanded vocabulary (in both Traditional and Simplified characters) that I've found.
I just do Clozemaster every time I sit on a toilet, pretty easy habit cue, if a bit gross.
* We're entirely - as in 100% - serverless. Our backend services use AWS Lambda and API Gateway. We store our data in DynamoDB and S3.
* We give our engineers problems, not tasks. Your solution might involve frontend work, backend work, infra work - you name it.
* We have a highly collaborative and autonomous environment where we empower Engineers with decision-making frameworks that are based on our company-values and realtime data.
If you're looking to write fullstack JS on a small team where you'll have ownership over the code and an impact on the business, this is the place for you.

Multiple render return types and portals both solve some annoying situations that can come up.
The pay-after-getting-a-job model creates virtuous cycles, because the schools that implement it suck up the most prepared students. Schools not offering that model end up with the leftovers after admissions to the top schools.
Arguably colleges and universities should also adopt pay-after-getting-a-job but that would probably hurt their bottom lines substantially. It definitely creates the correct alignment of incentives for the school to educate well.
Pretty amazing too, considering Kaplan has very deep pockets and could easily have financed the slight lag in revenue switching to models would have required. To me it just reeks of old-school short sighted corporate management thinking.
For a bootcamp to not adopt pay-after-getting-a-job just shows that they lack faith in their own product. Funny because many schools end up having to hire lots of their alums as a way of bolstering their employment numbers.
On a closing note, huge props to all the extremely hardworking teachers and students who went through DBC, they made it an amazing place despite all hardship. I made many of my most meaningful relationships there and I witnessed tremendous transformations in people.
Have fun!
That said, the first time I loaded the page sure took a long time. Kind of sad to need Webpack to create chunks just to recreate the old effect of not loading all the content for your website all at once.
Travelytix is creating a SaaS product (GuestFriend) for hoteliers to more effectively cater to guests’ preferences by creating new channels for collecting user-generated data. We will help clients analyze their data to increase profitability via up-sells and personalization.
We aim to achieve this by replacing hardwired, antiquated in-room phones with VoIP on phablets powered by our software (applications and customized Android OS), integrated with a cloud-based PBX. We're building a Java backend and React frontend.
We're a five person team working out of a gorgeous penthouse in downtown Brooklyn, less than minutes form every major subway. We're looking for people excited to make a big impact and iterate quickly.
