What are your qualifications? What's your track record in product design that we should be so interested in enlisting your help?

to draw attention to herself, of course

Sure, for the under 21&18 crowd.

Well if they can't even change their own configuration, how can we expect them to code? </ sarcasm>

Being a "Silicon Valley CEO" shouldn't entail as much fan-fair as we like to associate with those words. Declara certainly isn't doing anything groundbreaking. We'll see if the company's success can match her touching story.

He likely has a clause in the employment agreement preventing him from competing in any way. Pretty standard

Nothing unethical there. Its the responsibility of the manager/lead to assess skill set and the amount of time one should spend on a project.

Ryan Carson is the next Steve Jobs

>"We're investing this now."

wow, google must have been super impressed ;)

>"A correct answer to this will demonstrate both an understanding of basic computer science principles as well as a deeper knowledge of what jQuery is doing behind the scenes."

How does the referenced jquery statement represent basic CS principles? OOP? Definitely not that.

Who is your employer?

> the engineering salaries are significantly lower than I would've expected for a well known startup in the Bay Area.

While some of them do work overseas, Buffer employees should note they're drastically underpaid for Silicon Valley, NYC, or even LA salaries. If they didn't know this before, they should now. Any mid-level dev with decent skills would start around 110-120k before benefits in a highly competitive job market. I know because I hire and offer these salaries right now.

Anyone heading customer service would be in a tier within the rest of customer service, capped at around 90k. This is especially true for a small startup where their duties aren't managing a huge customer service team but rather playing the role of basically another customer service rep.

Can't say a lot of good things about a company that pays a "Chief Happiness Officer" more than most of its engineers. I know plenty of startups that seem to be doing alright in the customer service department without an overpaid exec heading it.

Does she really contribute more to the bottom line than any of the other 4 underpaid engineers?

oh.. that means its working for everyone, right?

>I spent the next 8 weeks coding for three hours a day and preparing for interviews.

what were you doing the rest of the working day?

so what you're saying is your "technique" doesn't even work for you

Looks great. Just needs a new name. Tydlig?

Lots of comments seem to expect some further web integration with various services but this looks like more of a prototype/proof-of-concept using emscripten.

Cool nonetheless.

Too bad its on Rollingstone. Can't visit that site after they glorified the boston bomber on their cover.

Steve Jobs, of course.
