San Francisco, CA.

We're looking to build the right product team that can take Disqus to what we see as the next act. We're still a small company (~20) with a lot of user reach (~500mm/mo, 45mm users). Incredible, connective experiences is what we're after, and we're game for experimentation.

We're hiring for many engineering/design roles, as well as actively searching for super strong product leads to shape the next stage of Disqus.

All position at http://disqus.com/jobs/ or hit me up at daniel@disqus.com.

Disqus in San San Francisco is looking to fill a few key roles.

Check out http://disqus.com/jobs for open positions, including software engineers, ux designers, operations engineers, technical support, and more. We're very open to people who can help move our product forward in ways we haven't thought about yet.

We write code primarily in Python and JavaScript.

Every few weeks or so I'm contacted by the same Google recruiter asking if I'm interested in an engineering opportunity.

After a while, I responded by asking who had referred me. He answered: "Referrals are confidential, but this person knows you from your days at <proceeds to list out my LinkedIn>."

Awful. Plus I'm a shitty programmer.

I like that somehow you did the escort math and came up with about 60 years of luxury travel.

Just spent a little while watching through 5 of those videos. Incredible stuff... good clips to play in the morning just in case you need that right kick in the pants.

I don't think this will spawn a new generation of vigilante crime fighters. This is more akin to happening upon an old security tape which reveals the identity of a dumb criminal who robbed your home. Yeah, I'd probably want to gather some data and turn him into the police.

What an incredible post. Thanks for sharing, pg.

YC absolutely does hustle for you like this, and it's the best kind -- genuine.

My dad uses Dropbox and I didn't even tell him about it. Such a badass company.

That was beautiful in so many ways. When I saw "promo video" I was actually expecting a lifestyle commercial with 20-somethings using Wufoo on their iPads in a park. With indie rock playing as the soundtrack.

It was a bad configuration which, sure, probably wouldn't have been a big deal if we had 0 traffic. :)

It's not directly related to the event, but related to a recent code push.

We're putting status here: http://status.disqus.com

Hasn't changed! We've known about this (as well as the launch today) and aren't making any specific plans based on TC's testing of FBComments.

Wow, congrats Garry and have fun!

Everything is hacking and so can you.

?

I didn't know ColorSchemer was their product. I love that app.

Great job, fellas.

So a phrase including a "but" will be contrary. Got it.

That cover is awesome. Congrats pg!

I love Firebug so much. It may be the only reason I launch Firefox as of late.

Chrome is my daily browser. Web inspector is quite good and it does the job most of the time. The JS console is awesome. But for some reason, doing anything else but using that JS console never feels quite as good as doing it within Firebug.

I love this. Might be interesting to see the YC anti-portfolio. Anyone have any stories?

If someone stole my phone, the last thing I'd give a crap about is my Facebook account.

When someone steals your phone, you can suspend your mobile service. You can also disassociate the number from Facebook.

I have no real opinion about Qwiki yet, but that was an awful awful article. And he hopes it'll fail because it might not meet his perceived standards?

Netflix is one of my favorite things in the world. I've been using it since I was something like 11 years old.

I've still never had to purchase a cable subscription.

Not saying Facebook is worth $33B, but these justifications to why Facebook isn't worth $33B are at least as tenuous.

Customers? I don't think anyone saw Facebook then as they see it today.

I'm inclined to agree with you regarding accountability. But, I dunno, I really don't want my company or business ethics judged by stuff I said to friends in college... through IM. People say stupid stuff all the time.

Find out why you were rejected (it could be for a very specific reason or no reason at all) and then apply again. I think there are a good number of people who were accepted after a rejection.

Submit something awesome and I'll upvote your technical feats instead.

Disqus also uses MongoDB amongst many other tools not mentioned. Those fine folks aren't misleading anyone.
