The name is not nautical in theme, seems sketchy.

Reminds me a lot of "flOw in games" who went on to make flower and journey.

Because it's hilarious?

Are we surprised that Mordor is a land full of fire and dragons?

We do clickbait now?

Click bait headline.

When did click bait titles become a thing on hacker news?

Nearly bans them...for children.

you can't pronounce BPG like GIF, so I can't see a future for it.

Disqus (YC 2007) | San Francisco | http://disqus.com/jobs

I'm an engineer at Disqus on our backend product team. We currently need help doing all sorts of things around powering the Internet's conversation.

- Frontend Engineer: http://grnh.se/24vsx0

- Senior Data Infrastructure Engineer: http://grnh.se/kngjl7

- Site Reliability Engineer: http://grnh.se/43clms

- Product Design but don't have the req up yet: http://grnh.se/tpfq4g

- UI/UX Design but don't have the req up yet: http://grnh.se/tpfq4g

This spec isn't very human friendly. As a human this bothers me.

This is not what an interview at Disqus is like. We interview you like we work. This means you are going to code and you are going to lead a design discussion.

Coding is done on a computer you bring with your tools in a language you know. You get to use the Internet to looks stuff up, you know, just like you can when you are really doing your job. And the questions we ask are problems we have had to solve at work.

The design discussion is collaborative, the interviewer is an active part of the discussion playing a sort of devil's advocate.

If this seems like a process you would like, we have a bunch of python positions open right now, check them out here: http://grnh.se/vj71bo

Disqus is looking for dev-ops, site reliability, or whatever we are calling it now. http://grnh.se/vdh5gt

Has the 6th grader ever make a photocopy in triplicate of Times New Roman vs Garamond?

You built it! awesome! I can't tell by the survey monkey landing page you set up. Looks like some awesome graphic design work though. Post to HN when you are ready to launch, not just to gather emails.

what?

The article does not address why this outsourced heap is better than other outsourced heaps.

I'd really like to hear some non-enginners perspective on how this is working. Everything I've heard about GitHub is really positive from engineers but less so from its other members.

Syntax highlighting is our engineered Synesthesia.

> "The best way I can describe it is to compare it to reading a book. When I read a book, I don't want parts of speech highlighted in different colours. What I want to do is to read the book, to take in the information."

I would love to try reading a book with the same support. Nouns in red and adverbs in green. It would be fantastic! So much passive information available… Now I think I know what my next weekend project is.
