dhchaiton Ask HN: Does anyone actually hire from 'developer bootcamps'?

CEO of Greenhouse here (www.greenhouse.io).

YES - we have hired out of Flatiron school. A total newbie who goes through the program can't come out as a full-fledged developer, but we have brought them in as QA/Automation engineers and then promoted to developer after 9-12 months.

dhchaiton Ask HN: How to divide shares in a startup company that was born in a hackathon?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do everyone a favor and have a founder's vesting schedule. Typical is a 4-year vest with 1 year cliff. Solves many issues.

dhchaiton The Beautiful Table - communicating football statistics with D3.js

First of all these are soccer stats, not football at all. So I call B.S.

Secondly, in all seriousness... While pretty, they are quite hard to make any actual use of. Things that should be compared are far from each other and oriented differently making them difficult to compare. Trends are hard to notice because everything is so widely spaced. The losing team score is too faint so it fades from the vision.

But yes, it is pretty.
