Want to help end ticket-scalping and ticket-fraud ?

Want to watch the software you build immediately get put to use at the highest levels of the music industry?

Want to join a team of hard working, fun loving people who are still a little weird and know how to both ship rock solid code and not take life too seriously?

We at Lyte.com are searching for skilled senior level API/Server engineers who can help us continue to build out our platform.

Lyte has particularly strong deals across the music industry, these deals have allowed us to build fan to fan exchanges for sold out events. For example, you want to purchase a ticket to an event that is sold out, maybe you don't want to get scammed or pay inflated prices on known secondary markets (craigstlist, SH, etc.), you visit a Lyte exchange and request a ticket, as people who don't want to go to the show return tickets, you will be offered the ability to buy their ticket without having to get involved with them or pay crazy prices. We have direct integrations that allow us to re-register/transfer/remix tickets between primary issuing agencies so that fans have a cost-friendly, scam free ticketing experience.

To date, we have done numerous exchanges and have significant business traction from many top players in the music industry. We are gearing up for a very big 2019.

If this sounds interesting to you and you have very, very solid chops with Python/Django please send an email to john@lyte.com with supporting information. We have a seasoned engineer who handles all recruiting so you will deal directly with the team and if things click, you could join our team in under a week. We pay well and have a reasonable amount of perks for a pre-A startup that is punching way above its weight.

@sharksforcheap 'founderS' of CodeUnion and how was the graduating party of that first cohort not on your list ?

:)

I fell like it is common, not sure I would say it is typical. I avoid it at all costs. Usually, if I complete the project the and the host company doesn't like it, I don't get any feedback on the code and my time gets mostly wasted. If companies would give some degree of feedback on the code I'd be more into it. "No" isn't the kind of feedback that I value.

I try to stick closer to companies that have a balanced interview process and a smaller live coding challenge, think 20-45 min can really suss out a person's technical level anyways.

Just my $.02

i'm a dev bootcamp grad and I feel like you just described me well, but i'm very crafty with products and am very business leaning (mba as well), though I haven't had too much trouble doing things in js, my data structure/algo stuff is weak and I care about improving it.

i don't frequently get excited about randomy stuff, but when I do, its about stuff like this.

- why does your tweet button not mention you guys on twitter ? i'm like, hey I want to start the 'mention train'... but i don't know who to mention ? you could start by mentioning @railstutor ... just sayin !

cool idea, you should think about using crowdsound.io to do even more interesting interactive stuff, and yes, it is my app.

https://www.rubyonrailstutor.com build something real.

Really nice post, design and approach!

Awesome article.

I'm grateful that you are grateful because you have had a big impact on my life.

This app rocks!

yeah, i should have looked at source #lazy

is that site built with zurb foundation?

Awesome use of existing material to make something useful.

In response to the "There is NO way a person can become a productive programmer in 10 weeks"

Programming and software engineering are about solving complex problems. Most of the people who get into these programs, start with the skills required to program, ie, curiosity about solving problems with technology. Also, the goal of the program isn't to graduate soloist-rock star programmers, it is to graduate super smart well grounded personalities who can be super-atmospherically-high quality apprentice's, which is totally plausible. There is like a 10:2 engineering to all other jobs ratio that probably won't go away. Spending a small chunk of time/money (I spent 10k for DevBootCamp) versus getting a traditional 4year CS degree, which is in no way shape or form proven to be a great path to becoming a solid engineer, is a no brainer.

Tony who is one of the teachers at Catalyst taught me a bunch at devbootcamp. He is incredibly smart and patient, does an extremely good job of instilling in people that they can themselves solve complex problems. I myself did devbootcamp this summer, it was a great experience and forever increased my impact as a person and technologist.

i've been an avid cyclist all my life, you have just hit the beginning of what cycling is such an amazing activity, that an i think endurance sports go hand in hand with the entrepreneurial life. congrats on this!

i just finished the devbootcamp program so as a person who was thrown into oo programming with no real cs underpinnings, it is interesting to hear him talk about the social component . it is also pretty interesting to here him talk about making mistakes and the need to just get things done versus optimization.

cool concept
