tldr:
In the 1950's, doughnut shops were some of the first food businesses commonly open late at night. They became hot spots for police working the night shift since it gave them a place to grab a snack, fill out paper work, or even just take a break.
Rich made some interesting points on developing libraries in such a manner that it doesn't introduce breaking changes (for the calling code). Does anyone here agree (or have counterpoints) to his suggested approach?
All your points (1 through 4) matched with what was looking for. I chose Clojure. It's Lispy, focuses on immutable data (but not necessarily pure functions), has a version (cljs) that compiles to javascript (if you're writing web-apps, its great to write both your front-end and backend code in one langauage). I've broadly found clojure to be a "practical" functional language to work in.
(If it helps, I'm primarily a python/js developer before picking Clojure).
A team's picture gets better when it sees collective participation from a large number of people in the team. Which is why I feel this will beat company LI/FB pages, that are updated by a single person(or a select few)
I think the OP's argument is that a lot of reactive feature-building (irrespective of how they are organized) is a bad idea - especially in the early stages of a product.
1) Its hard to say anything conclusively from a conversion perspective yet.
2) A lot of visitors go to the tour before signing up. That is also where they spend most time.
3) Not really. Most pages are still in a transition, and we're trying a bunch of things. Currently, the changes are based on "what we want our users to know", rather than user feedback
The current payment system is in transition - we want to eventually move to the recurring payment model like you mentioned. The reason it stands today is that things like managing change of plans, trial periods etc is a big pain with paypal. We're exploring various (non-paypal) alternatives to this.
Hi. I'm one of the creators of Recruiterbox, and pleasantly surprised to see that someone has posted about us us here. Will try my best to answer any questions/comments
Its a good thought, but right now, we're more focused on helping companies just organize their existing way of hiring (and not change their ways themselves)
