Lendeavor is a technology-enabled lender to healthcare practices. Practitioners — primarily dentists, veterinarians, and optometrists — use Lendeavor’s online platform to seamlessly start, acquire, expand, or equip their practices.
Practice owners are some of our economy’s most highly educated and hardest-working entrepreneurs — yet starting, buying, or expanding a practice takes too long and costs too much. We’re here to change that.
We’ve built software that takes complicated transactions — like buying your first practice — and makes them simple. As a result, our members spend less time applying for credit, and we spend less time processing it. This efficiency drives faster funding and lower rates. Going forward, we’re ruthlessly focused on simplicity, customer experience, and efficiency.

Lendeavor helps people get small business loans. Since the beginning of 2014, we've helped bakers, consultants, builders, sneakerheads, doctors, and brewers get the money they need to grow their businesses. We've curated the alternative lending market, gathering the best options into an easy to use platform where borrowers can compare their financing options side by side.
We are hiring are second, third and fourth engineer(s). Come join a small and exciting team! We're looking for strong developers that have experience with Ruby and Rails and/or Javascript (ideally with experience in a JS framework like Ember or Angular).
Yes, I realize that this is not an entirely fair comparison. However, the parallels between this article and the "war on general purpose computing" seem relevant...
Note that you don't need a evernote account to use this (I don't, and it just works).
I do allow same-party interaction and cookies. (i.e., anything from montagebook will work.)
You may want to set your third-party analytics services to be asynchronous, so they aren't a single point of failure for your entire application.
Point is ... if you get a standing desk, make sure it works when sitting just as well as when standing. Check the 'lowest height' and compare it to what you use.
EDIT: I am impressed with the removal of the stabilizer between the legs. That's a great feature.
I'm no OpenStreetMap expert (yet), so maybe a CloudMade Mapbox comparison isn't entirely fair.
I was hired by my college to build a grade management system in my second-to-last year there. I was in a hurry due to a lunch meeting with other IT staff at the University, forgot to add the where clause, and suddenly every single student was a Computational-Science major (mine).
Funny part of the story was that the moment it happened I uttered "oh shit." My boss, who sat beside me, said "what'd you do?", and about 15 IT staff from other departments walked into the office to go out for lunch. I'm sure I was an interesting shade of red.
I had to explain what I did in front of all these people. My boss laughed out loud, brought the system offline, and simply said: "well, after lunch we get to test our backup process." We went for lunch.
Two valuable lessons I learned...
People make mistakes, that isn't a problem, it's how they respond that's important.
Don't try and solve hard problems when emotions are running high. If shit is going down in production, the most important thing to do is to breathe, and get a glass of water. That little bit of time helps a lot.

I suspect that different people see different behavior.
Not sure if that statement is specifically related to your wife having to "provide a phone number", but... Facebook does the same thing.

Compare that to twitter's new onboarding experience, which is (arguably) very well done.
I worked at my first Internet startup in 1993.
Sadly, the web archive only tracks it back to '97... http://web.archive.org/web/19970429192003/http://www.link.ca...
I started in ops, installing things like web and email servers. My first application was doing email parsing.
Oddly, today (literally), I'm writing code to do email parsing.

I've seen atrocious code too. Young, old, legacy, greenfield ... none of these things have anything to do with code quality.
The original article seems to group all open office plans into a single category, as if they were all alike.
I've worked in two notable different open office plans. One was at around 400 square feet per person. In this one, the only people with an office were those that dealt with sensitive documents that had to be in a filing cabinet (in this case that was one person, the accountant, who did payroll).
I've also worked in an open office where the "senior" staff had offices with windows looking into the cubicle area. The open area was around 150 square feet per person. While sitting at my desk, the back of my chair was about 4 feet from the person behind me.
These two experiences were drastically different in productivity and focus. To say open offices don't work, because most of them don't work is like saying startups don't work because most of them fail.
The problem isn't with the idea, it's with the execution.
The author either wasn't around in the 90s, or thinks Apple invented the MP3 player.
The first MP3 player appeared 4 years before the iPod. In the U.S., the Diamond Rio was fairly well known, at least in tech circles (i.e., people who knew what an mp3 was).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_media_player
I've always assumed Apple gained an immense advantage in MP3 players by not being first to market.
It looks like I'm not alone...
If your 'court' needs a public advocate, then the lack of a public advocate is not the problem. The idea of a "secret court" is contradictory to the idea of "a court."

Why not just make the 'secret' court not secret?
