Wanted the site to more informative. Video dosen't really convey anything. When I clicked on the title: "Quickly build beautiful web apps"- I was expecting something totally different
* I'll see what I can do.
* I am using Lucida Grande, but it needs to be installed on the machine.
* Should I move it down like 2 pixles? Seems fine on my machine though
Thanks for the feedback. I am not english native - ran the blog through a online-grammer-checker something and it said everything is fine :)
Yeah thats true. But frankly I never got why practically "everybody" takes their screenshots on a mac - It's almost like I've to go buy a mac just to take the screenshots and do my screencasts.
Hi. Thanks.
Yeah noticed that too. Seems like bug in chrome? Can you try on firefox. That's the one where everything seems to be working just fine. reading localfiles, canvas and save image.
1) That'll be cool and in fact easily implemented. One of the reason why it din't do it was Candidates need to setup the server and stuff. Some might readily have it, some might not, which might skew the overall time taken.
2) Agreed, may be ask them to login through facebook or twitter before solving the challenge?
3) Launched it like 20 days back :). I wanted a more complete demo with voice over but some suggested that my indian accent would turnoff a lot of audience. Have mailed a few voice over guys.
Over all, all the 3 can be done, will mail you once I have them in.
I kind of don't get it. Why do big companies buy other successful companies just to shut it down? Can't they just rebrand it or something? If they can't why even buy? Just for acquiring the technical talent?
Thanks! Yes and yes. It is limited to request and response type of challenges and candidates have to deploy on localhost. Because of this limitations though, candidats can choose any language, library or framework and you need not limit yourself to algorithmic questions. A question for example can be "Find the top article on hacker news"
Launched http://cull.io 20 days ago. Revenue made till now $150. Spent: appengine $10, musicbakery: $47. (I don't really know how to cost my time, it's around three weeks to build).
Not lying. Even I am not sure why this happens though. I think two things are at play:
a) You could survive in big enough company without coding (You survive by tinkering xml files, db records, monitoring the servers.. stuff like that)
b) Most interviews don't require you to code. They rely on stuffs like puzzles, knowledge of complex algorithms and asking you explain things about your previous work. So a candidates keeps getting good at that since that's what is required to get the next job.
+1 and Agree. It's wrong to get free work.
However, just out of curiosity how would you have felt if the employer has actually paid you for those "small projects"? (To be clear: No guarantee that you will get the Job, but payment is guaranteed for the hours you put in)
