Megayears ago. It is a million years.. . http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/megayear

This is great, but not quite what I had hope for. Yes you can run custom code, but only what their current API allows. It just saves time by not having to transfer data to the client to aggregate.

Step in the right direction though.

Is this using the same type of tech as Pieceable?

(Just saw the other comment: Yes)

Will follow-up with you...

A few things:

1) It makes user management stupid-simple. I can authenticate with Facebook/Twitter/signup easily (not that it's really that hard, but still), and the user info is automatically saved to the cloud.

2) I then use it to store game state, retrieve a list of active games/previous games.

3) Push notifications are really easy. Each client opens a "channel", and the other client sends a push to their opponent's channel after their turn is complete.

I suppose I should clarify that I am building a turn-based iPad game, where the game state needs to be stored between turns.

My take on Parse is that they do the grunt work that is necessary with every new project. I am currently building an iPad game on top of parse, and while the pricing is a bit concerning, I figure one of two things will happen:

1) The game takes off and the $200/mo is affordable 2) The game doesn't take off and the 5mil requests is adequate.

The lock-in concerns are valid, but right now their API isn't so mature that it would take eons to build out the pieces I am using in a week or two.

As for the concern with them going out of business, they've raised a good bit of funding, and offer data dumps so you can migrate elsewhere if need be.

For me, right now the ease of development outweighs the risk (we'll see in time though...)

Haha yes me too. Glad to have misread.

Senior Web Developer, with a strong grasp of web technologies (Javascript, CSS, HTML5, ASP.NET MVC or Ruby on Rails), as well as an understanding of database architecture and design. This position will be responsible for building our analytics dashboard, taking large amounts of customer data and determining the appropriate method to deliver the data in an informative an interactive manner (charts, tables, etc.).

Pretty cool. I made something like this for Windows Phone a while back that would let your routes to & from work, and your estimated departure times. It would then run traffic data on a server before your departure time, and let you know how long your commute would be. It would then track the times historically and let you know the best times to leave.

Some nice abstractions. I would like more information on how they are using it within Twilio, though.

When did HN become such an advertising outlet for 37 signals? Their products are cool, but come on...

How many connections has your site made possible?

I would argue that the lack of caching is the biggest drawback, though you could workaround that by using offline storage and caching yourself.

Yeah I agree. I would not sacrifice (much) salary for equity, but would certainly negotiate to have as much equity as I could. Regardless of how it all shakes out, I would like to think that I am somewhat vested in the eventual outcome of the company.

I'm not surprised by taking a 10% paycut for a better fitting role. I was surprised that having equity or options in the company was one of the least important "wants".

It's all about how you think under pressure. You have to know the basics, for sure, but the interview is much more about seeing how you think and work through problems. If you are getting asked to implement merge-sort or something, probably not a great question. But whiteboard algorithm questions let the interviewer see your thought process and how you think on your feet.

Came across as arrogant to me as well, though I agree with the mentality that a startup needs to find people that have built their own apps, tools, whatever on their own. Nothing is more valuable than having someone who can get stuff done.

Looks a lot like jquery tmpl -- the syntax at least

Honestly, it is about time that they did this. I worked ont he IE team for a few years, and could never understand (aside from the enterprise argument) why users were not being auto-upgraded. "Hey here's a great new security model to replace the insecure previous version...but no rush on upgrading..."
