Voom (an Airbus Company) | Full Stack Engineer / Engineering Manager | Seattle | On-Site | https://www.voom.flights/careers

Do you want to help people get where they are going faster, cheaper, and without ever having to worry about traffic? Voom is a long-term bet on urban air mobility in the world’s most congested cities. To start, we are building the world’s first truly on-demand helicopter booking platform while preparing for the next generation of electric vehicles. Voom is operational today in São Paulo and Mexico City with more cities launching soon.

Voom operates like an autonomous startup, but given we are fully funded by Airbus, the world’s largest airplane and helicopter manufacturer, we can offer big-company stability and benefits.

We TDD and Pair Program 100% of the time. We use Ruby, Rails, and React to fly folks in Helicopters around the world... Helicopters today, flying cars tomorrow!

Do you want to help people get where they are going faster, cheaper, and without ever having to worry about traffic? Voom is building the world’s first truly on-demand helicopter booking platform that provides travelers with the ultimate in convenience and reliability, yet does so in the most affordable way possible. We are creating new products, businesses, and processes to more efficiently leverage the world’s existing helicopter fleet, and prepare for the next wave of vertical flight vehicles. Voom is operational today in São Paulo and Mexico City, with more cities launching this year. Voom is a subsidiary of Airbus, the world’s largest helicopter manufacturer.

And ruby become node!

While reading this article, I was presented for an ad for AWS. Checkmate.

Nice! We need more work in this space. I'm one of the node-resque authors. I'd love to hear more about what you felt was missing from the ruby version... clearly we copied a lot :D

This is just like all the bad actors buying all the fast computers with BitCoin

... I was hoping to get a trial link!

And this is one of the best shut-down notes I've seen. It discusses the problems and choices made candidly.

Here’s my philosophy: happiness comes from creation. We are hackers, we know this. But “creating memories” and “creating experiences” counts too!

Browsing Social media is not an act of creation, but one of consumption.

... anyone see the old super mario movie? http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0108255/

I've done this too. The question is usually a matter of compliance more than anything else. They want to check the licenses of any included packages, makes sure there's no encryption stuff that can't leave the USA, etc.

Doing what OP described is great: it lets their folks do the audit with no risk of you loosing "ownership". It shows you are both a good partner and value what you do.

Voom / full time / Seattle on-site

Voom (Airbus) is looking for a Senior Ruby Engineer. We are using Rails to make booking a helicopter as easy as booking a car. We are multi-lingual and multi-national, operating mostly in LATAM for now . We believe in a vertically-traveling future for our cities, and are doing what we can with today’s platforms to make it possible.

We just passed a big project milestone, and are now able to build an in-house product team, centered in Seattle. We work in Agile/XP style with pairing, TDD, etc. We are using Rails to solve some interesting problems around pooling & routing, air traffic management, and more.

Later this year, we’ll be looking for junior engineers as well!

You can learn more about the position & project here: [A³](https://www.airbus-sv.com/projects/2) and www.voom.flights

There are lots of great tools to solve the single source of truth problem. foe example, I've used Looker (which is connected to our data warehouse) to spit out JSON feeds or CSVs which excell and google sheets can live-import.

Doing this gives us the best of both worlds

I think I also agree with @nathan_long's point, in that perhaps the government shouldn't be concerned with the how data is kept safe, but rather than track breaches and complaints... that would be what leads to a revocation of status.

I'm happy to see that the context for this testimony is related to ID verification. The bank example Troy gives is a simple & understandable problem that we all can wrap our heads around (Congress too!), which provides a concrete scenario to explore.

The way I always approach this problem is one of ownership. Congress, implicitly, assumes that individuals own their data. That is why it used to be possible to ask individuals to prove their identity by asking them to verify data they own, and presumably, haven't shared too broadly.

Identity theft is really a robbery then, because data which belongs to you is stollen. The government's opening position then needs to be that data belongs to consumers.

What isn't clear is the physical metaphor for what happens when you give your data to a third party, explicitly or implicitly. Am I 'leasing' my data to Facebook? Am I granting them shared ownership? Or is it more like a Bank... I'm allowing Facebook to "re-invest" my asset, they can make money off of it while they have it, but in exchange, they have to keep it safe.

I personally really like the Bank metaphor, and like banks, you can get certified as safe by the government to be a Bank, and have that certification taken away... We already have data protection rules like this in BTW, called HIPPA

I bet you can use one of the classic text “browsers”, like Lynx, and serve up that output...

...Runs to download Lynx and rediscover the past!

MySQL. Still more popular than Postgres.

I've spent far more than I've made on this... but it's how I think API frameworks should work!

And you can use other Sync methods, like iCloud or move the files around yourself.

Appear.in can't be beat.

How does this compare to appear.in?

Yeah... the jitter being fake (and fast?) seems unnecessary per your other comment.

If the jitter was an actual uncertainty measure or something... or less fast...

This is very cool. I'd love to see a tech write up later this month... and some stats!

Last week we revamped the ActionHero website! We focused mostly on increased legibility and searchability of the documentation section.

Ya'll can contribute to www.actionherojs.com whenever you want!
