I love browsing products like this. I assume inspired by Pinterest? A Toronto startup is doing the same thing, but local shops/products. http://shopcastr.com/

The cost is a non-issue for even the few benefits (and the removal of all responsibility).

Also relevant: we have non irc-savvy devs, so Grove helps with getting them involved too. It's difficult to explain why IRC is so great to anyone that doesn't use it- whereas sending an invite and having them in the channel right away is dead simple.

We migrated from a self-hosted irc server to Grove and couldn't be happier. The archive and search are a godsend when you can't be bothered to set up loggers and such yourself. Whenever we're troubleshooting server issues, all the context is already there in the web client for other devs to hop right in and catch up. We post to the API from our fab deploy scripts, and when someone's feeling motivated, we'll be setting up Hubot, as outlined on their blog. https://grove.io/blog/hubot-grove

EDIT: I should also give mention to the great transparency from the team. Leah emailed me in response to feedback/issues multiple times, and they definitely keep up with Twitter chatter.

Toronto, ON. Full time.

G Adventures is a technology-driven adventure travel company in downtown Toronto, and we're looking to expand our software engineering team.

Our current stack is Python/Django. We use Macs, deploy to Ubuntu on Apache/Lighttpd, and love experimenting with technology. For example, we recently rolled out a dynamic booking process built on Backbone.js and async data-refreshing with Celery.

We love coffee, roti, beer, and foosball. Oh, and of course adventure travel, for which there are generous perks!

Great location, themed meeting rooms, regular cultural lunches, tons of merch, technical freedom, and a huge amount of company spirit and staff appreciation.

We have multiple positions open, and are eagerly waiting for passionate developers to fill our inbox. Send us an email at ecommerce@gadventures.com

CSRF in on by default. Cookies could be more secure, and it's being worked on. Django is moving to PBKDF2 (there's no pure python bcrypt lib). There's not really opportunity to do anything interesting with slugs.

Like any framework, there will always be room to improve security, but it does do very well out of the box. At least it makes you work to expose anything obvious.
