Wonderful!
How is this NOT a lie detector?
This would definitely be useful when interrogating someone right?
Kayak (and others) do a good job of streaming search results, but you still have to wait seconds before you're able to make decisions.
I met with 3 developers, a hiring specialist and a development manager on the first day and they asked very domain-relevant questions within my area of expertise. No silly programmer brain teasers. I had plenty of time to ask questions of my own.
On day two I met with non-developers. Business, designers/UX, etc. I was able to get a very good idea of the people I would be working with and the types of problems I would be solving.
I ended up deciding to take another offer, but it was a very positive experience overall. I didn't encounter any jerks like some others have.
However, I LOVE the idea of working in a mini forest.
1) Make sure your app has lightening fast response for touch events. Kids are smart, they expect that when they click a button, something should happen. If it takes over 250ms, my kid thinks it's broke and will start clicking it repeatedly.
2) Always use "onTouchDown" instead of "onTouchUp" when handling simple presses. My kid doesn't always release his finger after touching a button and when nothing happens, he thinks he needs to touch the button repeatedly. If the developers targeted the "Touch Down" event instead of "Touch Up" my kid wouldn't have learned this behavior.
Dwolla is awesome for merchants and neutral for consumers.
