ECAL is a calendar management company, we allow clients such as the English Premier League, Ticketek and MLS to publish calendars into subscriber's calendars via ICS, and Google and Microsoft APIs.
Current stack: PHP (zend-ish), Mongo, EC2
New stack: Docker, ECS, then the 'best tool for the job', so far we have added Go for network heavy things, Python for Spark and Ops, a little Node, Postgres for the data, React on the front.
I'm hiring for people I can trust, who can take an idea and make it work whilst collaborating with the team on micro-service contract design, testing, and 'best practices' within each service. Strong opinions, loosely held etc.
These are not entry-level positions, but we aren't looking for 'ninjas' either. We are more interested in what you can do with us than what you have done in the past.
We are looking for the best candidate for the position, you will be considered based on your skill and passion for programming, not your race, religion, gender, age, sexuality, political leanings, eye colour, opinions on cubism or the oxford comma, or anything else not related to programming.

That one I'm still not clear on. I THINK I should be closing that particular rows set already, the SQL is LIMIT 1 and I check if !rows.Next(){return ...}, yet... here we are :-)
Our customers demand more of us, we demand more of our frameworks.
It wasn’t long ago that building a site that worked on a mobile was the most fantastic and impressive thing they had ever seen. Before that, there weren’t even ‘mobiles’ to have ‘sites’ on.
If the demands put on programs were the same as they were 10, 20 years ago, I would have my week’s work done in 5 minutes. But it’s not amazing any more, it’s boring and usual and old as soon as it is released. Our customer or boss just saw a new example up on nvd3, so d3’s dead now, and you better have already learned nvd3 (that’s a pretty old example), oh and it still works on a mobile, and fills my retina display, right? Oh and it doesn’t move properly when I scroll on my android tablet. That’s the same as an iPad, right? Oh and John said it’s broken in IE.
Our demands come from our customer’s expectation that this stuff is easy now. And hells yeah it is SO much easier than it used to be, but it’s far from being as easy as they think it is.
We usually only have an hour to get going in a new framework, if it’s not clear after that, we move on, because something newer (better?) just hit #1 on HN.
But let’s remember how exiting all of this is. Programming has changed for the better. It’s cool and in demand now. People are paying us to do the cool things we used to dream about, they just might not be giving us quite enough time, so we blame the frameworks.
You will get more insight reading it in another 5, 10, 50 years, true, everyone does, so imagine how much more you will comprehend in the future given your starting point today.
When I was 15, I let 'mature' people stop me from believing I knew anything, and then I was introduced to 'the more you know the more you know you don't know' - its good advice for anyone who thinks they know everything. But don't ever let it stop you from doing anything, believing anything or especially exploring anything.
If you are gifted, and if you believe you are gifted, look at the future for how much more awesome you will be, but don't forget how awesome you are now.
Some I.T. policies also disallow chrome frame. Google had provided a policy loop hole which helped ie6 look like a legitimate option. Its not anymore...
I think its time enterprise I.T managgers update their thinking, and I think the less comfortable backwards compatible tools that exist, the better.
