San Francisco, CA (2 min wlk from Caltrain) FULLTIME REMOTE H1B
★ Full stack JavaScript Engineer (Backbone/Knockout/Express/Node) ★ at Gild.com
We're rethinking the way professionals find great companies to work for and apply for jobs. We believe that the current process is broken for both applicants and companies, and we're fixing it. We're venture-backed (Globespan, TMT Investments), and our customers are crazy about what we're building.
This position is our first technical hire dedicated to our new Node.js infrastructure, with a ton of room to influence its evolution. The best fit will be someone with hands-on experience working with a production Node.js app. This is an amazing opportunity for somebody who is passionate about JavaScript technologies.
We're looking for somebody that can translate a high-level product vision to production-ready code without needing a babysitter.
Technologies we like: Javascript/Coffeescript, Ruby, Perl, Express.js/Zappa, Socket.io, Sprockets, Rails, Compass, SASS
What you don't know, we will teach you. What we don't know, you will teach us.
Sure in this case you better send them the 5$, nevertheless please share this with friends or colleagues that may want to give their contribution while having fun for half an hour.
By the way, if you're an experienced programmer the solution is quite obvious, it should take less than 15 minutes. :)
I wrote a note on the post but it doesn't seem to show up.
We have the puzzles for sysadmins in beta and we're looking for beta testers, send us your coderloop username to [email protected] and we'll enable the feature for your account.
Hi, I'm the founder of Coderloop.com, a programming competition platform. Our platform is able to test user submitted programs against a problem spec. We also support specs that require the user to write a program that interacts with an HTTP server (an example here http://www.coderloop.com/puzzles/islands ).
If you are interested we can build some puzzles dedicated to your API. :)
Cool, this one is a very good idea actually, a user generated database of test cases for each puzzle! I'm putting it in our backlog, thank you very much!
In theory it can be done, but it would be very expensive in terms of computational power. Anyway, you raised a very good point that we will keep in mind for the near future.
Thanks indeed for your feedback and the nice discussion.
Thanks! The code is executed by an "host" script with a system call, not sure if this breaks the __main__ function in python. We will look into that issue. :)
Ok but here the point is not about technology, it's very easy for us to give you access to the output of your program (in fact if you use a compiled language, and the compilation phase breaks, we show you the log). The point is that any kind of feedback that I give you access to that is generated from the input we send you to you program, will give you the chance to produce a solution that i not generic, because you know the input in advance, you can precompute the solution and just "print" it.
You can object that we should generate the inputs randomly and on the fly. That can be definitely done for the very trivial problems (like reverse a string or a sequence) but will be impractical for more difficult problems that have very few input data sets that lead to a "meaningful" result.
Anyway, we're open to suggestions on how to improve the process. :)
Hi, I understand your point. The problem with the feedback is that if we tell you for which inputs we're testing your solution, you could develop an optimized version of the solution for those special case, or worse you could precompute the solutions and just write a solution as a long if-then-else sequence.
The purpose of the challenge is instead twofold: being able to understand the problem specs and being able two produce a generic solution that must work in an environment that you don't control (because that, at the very end, is what happens to the programs you write... They're going to be executed with inputs that aren't under your control and that you couldn't know in advance).
