cheyne··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2016)
UpGuard | Mountain View, CA | Onsite / Partial Remote | Full-Time | https://www.upguard.com/

UpGuard are looking for all types of engineers to work on front and back end technology stacks to build our our next generation configuration & resilience platform. We're looking for smart, driven engineers that have a vision and the ability to build it.

We create enterprise software but operate in a more startup like environment with free lunches, casual work place, equity and a fully stocked beer fridge.

We've recently raised our series B, and are still at a great size where any new employee has a real impact on the product. Own your own projects from start to finish. Have a better idea of how to implement a feature? You're free to build it.

Everyone knows everyone here, culture is a big priority and we look after our staff.

Our stack is Ruby / Rails, GoLang, C#, Postgres, Memcache, Redis, HTML, CSS3, JavaScript, AngularJS, Git, OSX

Im a long time engineer here, drop me a line if you have any questions or want to submit a resume - cheyne (at) upguard.com

Been using this library for a while now. Works great, I based my app https://www.lightroomdashboard.com on it
cheyne··on Show HN: Self destructing, encrypted messaging with file upload
There's a few things missing with this app. The data may be encrypted, but its still available to anyone with the URL?

I think https://www.noteshred.com does this better. It requires a password to access and logs access information.

You can also demo and see their client side encryption features working here: https://www.noteshred.com/client-side-encryption

cheyne··on Ask HN: How do you drive web traffic to your successful side projects?
My side project is gaining users slowly everyday. It's called noteshred and it allows to you send people self shredding, encrypted notes with unique URLs, https://www.noteshred.com. I'm curious to know how you guys transitioned from a free tool to something that generated income. I can't imagine advertisements wouldn't bring in much revenue, so how did you go about introducing a paid model?
cheyne··on Contact form encrypts message with PGP before sending
Nice.. You can also do in browser client and sever side encryption now with https://www.noteshred.com

See https://www.noteshred.com/client-side-encryption

cheyne··on Ask HN: Is RubyMine worth it?
I say yes, but I also use both Sublime and RubyMine.

I use Sublime when im mostly working on front end code, but i'll use RubyMine when im working on backend mainly because I get to use object inspectors, break points and step by step debugging.

Of course, if im just working on the front end of my web app, then I prefer Sublime as it has a much lighter footprint.

If you've ever coded in C# and used Visual Studio, then RubyMine will feel more comfortable when you really need to dig deep and debug something.

It's cheap enough, just get it, one day you'll be up to your elbows in spaghetti code and it will save you heaps of time, then you'll be happy you had it.

cheyne··on Poll: Do you encrypt your email?
Even if I did, nobody else does. So I just use https://www.noteshred.com to send encrypted messages to people that only needs a password to access.
cheyne··on Encrypted e-mail: How much annoyance will you tolerate to keep the NSA away?
I'm just using https://www.noteshred.com to send private messages. I can't be bothered with encrypted email software
cheyne··on 2x Dynos enter General Availability
Can we have a price drop of the "Small" dyno then? I can pay for both a Cloud66 account and a Digital Ocean 1GB box for less than a single Heroku dyno. Im on the edge of switching, but I do really like Heroku and would prefer not to.

Baha ..
cheyne··on The Harsh Truth About iTunes
The fact my iTunes library contains a mere 4 eBooks today, where as this time last year it contained over 2000 various items is proof enough for me.
cheyne··on The Bloodthirsty Battle For Tech Talent
^^ Jimbo, Change your LinkedIn profile to say you live in San Francisco. I just moved here a few months back and I get dozens of emails. I have a job, and dont respond to them, but its generally the same pitch ... "VC backed company, wants ruby/rails people, descent money, benefits, yada yada" ..
