hol··on Zesty (YC W14) Raises $17M Series A to Improve the Health of Humanity
My apologies: send me an email at chris [at] zesty.com!
hol··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2015)
Zesty (YC W14) | San Francisco, CA | https://www.zesty.com/jobs

We're hiring senior Rails engineers and Ember.js engineers (or full-stack too).

This is the rare chance to join a rapidly growing YC startup as an early engineer (our engineering team is just four currently).

hol··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2015)
Zesty (YC W14) | San Francisco, CA (or remote) | https://www.zesty.com/jobs

We're hiring Rails and Ember engineers.

If you’re interested in building the kind of back-end systems that power Uber and Lyft, Zesty is a way to get in on the very ground floor of an engineering team with similar challenges. You’d be one of the first 5 engineers to join and would work closely with our founders.

hol··on How simulated annealing can improve your lunch
One of the nice things about this approach is that it's broadly applicable to almost anything pre-scheduled. We use similar optimizations for matching drivers with jobs that need doing, and for optimizing routes across our system.

hol··on Uber and Lyft Have Become Indistinguishable Commodities
“I’ve noticed lots of Lyft drivers dropping the signature pink mustache from their cars. Many also don’t bother with the fist-bump introduction, another Lyft convention.”

This is very noticeable now. Lyft used to stand for a different customer experience to Uber, but now it's effectively the same. It's sad (although probably inevitable) that their growth has lead to such a dilution of their brand.

hol··on 80+ Speakers in the First Ever Virtual Software Conference (AirPair W14)
Kudos to AirPair, this is a really impressive and extensive lineup. Also, from what I understand (seems a little unclear...), these are interactive workshops not just talks, so I'm very much looking forward to getting involved.
hol··on Take It to the Limit (2010)
Me too. I love it when a non-trivial concept like that can be effortlessly explained with a good diagram.
hol··on 2048 Numberwang
This is phenomenal. So, so good.
hol··on Y Combinator’s New Head
> “I learned this great lesson of my life,“ he said. “The way to get things done is to just be really f*g persistent. … I had this philosophy of going to every door and every window.”

Nothing more true than that.

Really excited to see where Sam takes things; he's super smart and very inspiring.

hol··on How we restarted our company in two weeks during Y Combinator
Great story! Amazing what you can achieve in such a short space of time if you're focused and dedicated.
hol··on Show HN: My side project just reached #6 on App Store music charts
Congratulations! Just trying this out now and I love the mix I've had so far.

It's so easy to make music these days that it can be difficult to find the gems in all the noise. For me, having places you can trust to do some curation/filtering for you is really important.

hol··on Ask HN: What are the best sources of news for iOS app dev?
+1 for Twitter, and the above names are all great suggestions. I also found this list helpful: https://twitter.com/emityme/ios-inspiration
hol··on Secret – Share anonymously with your friends. Speak freely
This is genuinely what I think as a user. For example, I quite frequently write a tweet and then delete it because I have second thoughts about whether I want to be associated to it.
hol··on Secret – Share anonymously with your friends. Speak freely
Been using this for a while. I love the app, the idea, the community - I feel like it's somewhere online where I can actually be myself, instead of worrying about managing my public profile (Facebook/Twitter).
hol··on What's in my iOS toolbox?
There's a really great list here too: http://benscheirman.com/2013/08/the-ios-developers-toolbelt/
