Hey! As a 46 year old I am offended by this - I am definitely not Gen X. We’re a weird X/Millenial hybrid I’ve seen referred to as Xennials.

Also F ZScaler - we use this officially sanctioned MTM attack at work and all it does is make my job harder.

“But IMHO we shouldn't go around simplistically implying that all social ills will be solved by neutering the billionaire class.”

You’re right. Instead of implying, we should be taking active steps to do it.

I have no eyes and I must take a vision test to prove I'm blind.

> It was never used in real work

Does this mean I need to return all my paychecks from 2004 to 2007?

Very much so. I can't believe it happened over 15 years ago!

This posting and the description both say remote, but the job description also says "Because we are a Minnesota-based company, we are currently limiting our search to Minnesota residents (or people willing to relocate there)."

You only hire remotely in Minnesota?

I spent a few years running my own startup and helping get another startup going as one of the first employees (we went from 3 employees to almost 40). A lot of my time went into finding pricing for various services, which is a huge waste when there's so much to do at an early stage or growing startup. I didn't want to spend time on demos and phone calls just to find out it was out of my budget.

ClearPrice will let you know right way whether or not it's worth using that time talking to a salesperson or going through a demo. You'll also know if you're paying a fair price for the service you're getting by letting you see what other companies your size are paying.

You mentioned front-end in this post, but I don't see a front-end job listing on https://www.noredink.com/jobs. Is that position not currently open?

I did not have a simple experience with React. I did front end development for years, ending with jQuery-driven AJAX sites pulling from REST APIs (2013), and when I tried to learn React this year it was all voodoo.

Is there a good tutorial out there for lapsed front-end devs?

Job Description New Matter is looking for an engineer to lead the development of the back end of an exciting new 3D printing marketplace that’s tightly integrated with our 3D printer. We’re very early so you really get to own this piece of the product.

You’ll lead the development and maintenance of our system architecture. You’ll also work closely with the lead back end engineer to develop an API that talks to both our marketplace as well as our printers. Being self-driven is important since the team is small and we want to build an ambitious product quickly.

• Strong experience in developing and maintaining system reporting and infrastructure health monitoring.

• Solid understanding of TCP/IP networking fundamentals.

• Experience with system architecture for web applications, and AWS in particular (EC2, EBS, CloudFront).

• Experience with developing RESTful APIs.

• Experience with and passionate about Ruby/Rails, Python, Django, Sinatra, Flask, Go, Node, Angular, and other various web technologies.

• Experience with various relational/non-relational database technologies (Oracle/MySQL/PostgreSQL/NoSQLs).

Dec 94 == freshman year of high school for me. This is definitely going to be a nostalgiafest.
