sahil_videology··on Ask HN: Best books you read in 2017?
Not done with it yet but listening to a great audiobook from Audible called Shoe Dog about the founding of Nike. Great story of the tough grind of starting a business. Recommended on the Acquired podcast.
sahil_videology··on Sade’s Quiet Storm of Cool
Paradise and Cherish the Day are my favorites. Long live Sade!
sahil_videology··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2016)
Baltimore, MD; Reston, VA (near Washington, D.C.); FULL TIME

- Java backend engineers - DevOps (Chef, Ansible)

Videology, Inc. - http://www.videologygroup.com/

We're in video advertising online and getting into TV as well now. Looking primarily for DevOps and server-side Java developers (if your Java is rusty but you're good, drop us a note anyway). I was working for a start-up called LucidMedia Networks (hence the "lmn" in the e-mail address below), which got acquired by Videology. Our stack is Java with Spring on *nix (Mac for dev, Linux on servers) with MySQL and some NoSQL stores on AWS. The Baltimore office also has a team on a large .NET stack as well (user-facing web app), but Java teams are spread across both offices. We have some big projects in the works to replace legacy services, integrate with big partners in the ecosystem, and scale up. We do business in North America, Europe, and Asia.

In general, our interview process starts with a take-home questionnaire to assess your skills. If that goes well, then we'll talk to you about it over the phone and ask some other details about you. If that goes well, we'll bring you on-site for an interview.

sahil_videology··on LastPass Security Notice
Seconding multiple solutions. I use LastPass to deal with the volume of credentials required, storing most but not all sites. I memorize the most important sites (bank, primary e-mail), never putting them in a password manager.

sahil_videology··on Trello Spins Out of Fog Creek With $10.3M
Congrats on the funding from a happy gold member. I use it to manage (and not forget) all the many small things I need to do or to keep track of ideas for the future. One of the biggest features is that is does not mandate a workflow because it's just boards with lists with cards. I use it in ways partly inspired by Kanban, Getting Things Done, and the typical calendar.

sahil_videology··on Ask HN: Idea Sunday
When I worked in the defense industry doing development using the waterfall software process methodology, we did stuff that fit the V-model. We used DOORS / Excel for requirements tracking, wrote long design documents, and had a QA person who wrote lots of HTML test documentation with clearly defined acceptance test procedures. All of these tools don't talk to each other.

An IDE like this could be applicable to any multi-month project with sufficient requirements complexity.

sahil_videology··on Ask HN: Idea Sunday
I second the need for something like this. This kind of tool can be used for clearly communicating scope and even aid estimation of timelines because it shows all the complexity.
sahil_videology··on The Millionaire Fastlane
This book was useful in changing my outlook on what I really wanted. I actually realized I did not want to be entrepreneur because I didn't want to do the hard work (non-engineering work like dealing with lawyers, accounts, employees, etc.) that it requires to be in the fastlane. I really just want to be a great engineer. It's not that I couldn't have come to this conclusion without the book, but the book just made it clear in ways that I hadn't seen elsewhere. Guess I'll just try to be slowlane defiant.
sahil_videology··on 2x 40 min of train everyday. Best way to spend them?
Have you checked out Audible? There are plenty of options. I prefer biographies and self-help books. I recently listened to "Getting Things Done" by David Allen and "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.

sahil_videology··on Ask HN: Why is .NET often avoided in the startup world?
I worked for a start-up that was a Java shop. A .NET shop acquired it. Our new big projects are moving away from .NET and to Java on Linux to avoid the Microsoft licensing costs. We use hundreds of AWS instances, and the extra cost of Windows instances adds up.

Personally, I prefer not using Windows simply because I love using the *nix shell, and I don't see the point in using something like Cygwin when I don't need the MS stack. However, Outlook on MS365 is quite good.
