agib··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2018)
Greenhouse Software | Engineering Manager | New York, NY | $170,000.00 - $185,000.00 | Full-time | Onsite | https://engineering.greenhouse.io/

Greenhouse's fast growth and focus on continuous improvement is driving us to hire more Engineering Managers to build out new teams. Our Engineering Managers are both technical and managerial, so you will use both sides of your brain: writing and reviewing code, designing systems, growing the team, running planning sessions, and mentoring.

In this role you will be given the opportunity to build and run a team of full-stack developers from scratch under your unique vision. Our developers are using Ruby on Rails, Javascript and React, with some services written in Golang, Clojure, and Elixir. You will get to make an impact at a SaaS company committed to testing, Agile best practices, and continuous improvement.

We offer a full slate of benefits, including competitive salaries, stock options, medical, dental, vision, life and disability coverages, FSA, HSA, flexible vacation, commuter benefits, a 401K plan, and a parental leave program. And... we offer some not-so-standard, extra-fun benefits, including learning & development stipends, adoption and fertility benefits, an employee discount platform, and of course, fully stocked fridges and cold brew on tap.

agib··on What does it take to run a web app with 5K – 10K users?
Just curious about the redis-in-the-middle. Any references so I can dig deeper?
agib··on Sent $35,104.11 USD to CoinBase. Never received Bitcoins
Update: I just logged in and saw the coins returned to me as a new, separate transaction. Very strange. Still no word from customer service.

I also have some very strange behavior going on in my account: https://twitter.com/agibralter/status/411685377015947264

Basically they're showing a transaction of selling BTC that I never made or authorized. Also, it's showing up in my transaction list but not in my history...

They said they're looking into it, but I haven't heard back in days.

agib··on The beauty of Git in Dropbox
I find that as long as you save files and make sure dropbox is "synced" before starting work on another machine, this setup works fantastically. I occasionally have Dropbox "conflict" files, but have never had an issue figuring out which versions to keep.

agib··on Diskstore and a new b-tree implementation
Does anyone know the basic tradeoffs between the two stores?
agib··on Mongo Vs Redis, The Increment Battle
I have to agree with antirez here and call shenanigans. "WOW, MongoDB is almost a full 40% faster at incrementing than Redis" is simply a false statement. The correct conclusion for your post is "WOW, incrementing the same key 100k times with the mongo ruby gem in a very specific, single-threaded ruby application is 40% faster than incrementing one key 100k times with the redis ruby gem the in that same ruby application." If anyone makes a decision about a real world application based on your post, they will be making a huge mistake.
