After driving behind a bunch of Waymo and Cruise vehicles, I'd much rather be behind/around a Waymo car. They drive at normal speeds and are generally more predictable at intersections.

Both teams I was on did scrum, with point values that denoted how much time a given task should take. Under both PIP's I had to finish a full X week's amount of work, with the end of each sprint being a hard deadline.
There were regular, sometimes bi-weekly meetings to see that I was on the right track, that were either performed by the managers themselves or someone from HR.
One lead to me quitting 4 months after, and one actually lead me to having a stronger connection to my manager / team. I'd say it's sort of a wake up call saying "Are you really committed to this project/team/company?"
If you work on larger features that require quiet time, then a real-time chatting app can be quite annoying. My team tends to release lots of small features very often, so fast communication is important.
Hiring a Fullstack / Frontend Engineer for our marketing team. Currently we have 3 devs, 3 designers, and a web producer that serves a growing team of 25+ marketers at Cloudflare(400~ people).
I would say the main requirements are 2~ years of experience and a solid portfolio.
Skill set: Html, Css/Sass, Javascript, Node
Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Nginx, A/B testing, localization, and/or light-weight CMS API's(like contentful) would be a plus.
You're going to be working with all sorts of people from all over the company, so being a good communicator would help.
The main challenge is taking concurrent small projects from start to finish, and being able to keep the scope of each from creeping into something unmanageable.
We're growing fast, and I'd have to say the culture at Cloudflare is extremely vibrant, fun, and casual. We currently would like everyone to show up to the office everyday, but are very accommodating for whatever comes up in your daily schedule.

I had a film Leica and then bought an M9P, they're so vastly different in usage, it's almost hilarious.
Almost everything, except how the camera looks from the front, was lost. The shutter sound is atrociously loud and annoying sounding. Tons of firmware issues, I have missed many shots simply because the camera just hanged up, and needed a battery re-insert. The M9 is noticably bulkier than any of the film Leica's, also it's just as heavy as any fullframe DSLR.
You see Leica coming out with weird cameras such as the T, and you just have to facepalm. What they really need to do to combat the Fuji / Sony cameras coming out is to release a small fixed lens camera with a 35 summicron or summilux equivalent (like a digital Contax T3). I doubt that this will happen since whoever is in charge now has no brand vision.
Going to get a XT1 as soon as possible.

With all that being said, this is a nice implementation of a timeline, it might be more epic if the site had a black or dark background, white text, and red accents.
I dream of the day when we will have a lot of options for small specialty digital cameras. You see a small trickle of them coming out(Ricoh GR, Fuji X100s, Sigma DP2), but no where near as many as in the old film days.
I could never imagine someone taking on this as a DIY project. I think it was a really cool decision to take a Sony NEX's components, which I always thought were lacking in ergonomics, and give it the feel of a classic rangefinder.
So, from my understanding, the camera you have currently only works in bulb mode. It would be interesting to see a post as to how you would even begin to tackle getting a predetermined shutter speed to work. Also more sample images would be great as well.
I finally got a great deal on M6 with a 50mm Summicron. Now I have a M9P.
For a while, Leica was the only camera company to produce cameras with the same ergonomics of older film cameras. It may have been stubbornness on their part, but I loved the fact that I could have a digital camera that allowed me to control aperture with my left hand, change shutter speed with my right, and have all lenses have focus markings on the top.
I feel that Leica is in danger due to companies such as Fuji, who are creating cameras that have even more options for control than ever before.
Want manual focus markings? There are lots of new lenses from Fuji and Olympus that allow you to shoot with auto focus, then pull the barrel back and enter manual mode so you can do things like zone and hyperfocal focus.
Want to change aperture on the lens and shutter speed on the top? The xt1 and x100s both have it.
Sorry for hating, but if Leica's answer to cameras such as the Fuji xt1 is to throw up a camera resembling a Sony NEX 3 with a "better touch screen" is kind of a joke really. They're coming from totally left field with this one.
They can try and hold on to their legacy of amazing lenses such as the Noctilux, but Zeiss(sony) and Sigma are doing a lot of innovation on fast glass, and will soon probably come out with a 50mm f/.95 or faster lens just to shove it to Leica.
