Siteline | San Francisco, CA | Software Engineers | Fulltime onsite | https://jobs.lever.co/siteline

(Note: We are early-stage company but our company health is safe and sound. We have always had a big long-term vision and the COVID-19 situation doesn't change that.)

Getting paid on construction projects is slow and complex. In fact, the construction industry is the slowest in the country between finishing work and getting paid for it. Siteline is building a fast and foolproof experience enabling millions of people to pay and get paid with ease. There's a huge opportunity to get in at the ground floor of advancing the state of the industry.

We are looking for a senior UX/frontend engineer and a senior fullstack engineer to join our strong founding team. You have an opportunity to own huge parts of the product and work with a world-class team who has built products used by hundreds of millions at Apple, Google, Stripe, and Zynga. Our leadership (including a serial entrepreneur) places a high value on mentorship and training future leaders and entrepreneurs. We are working with potential customers and are well-funded by top-tier investors.

ldidi | 10 years ago | on: Vine mistakenly ships iOS app with debug mode enabled

Happened to me at my previous company. We had a bunch of #ifdef DEBUG that wrapped non user-facing code. One day someone added DEBUG=1 in debug mode, DEBUG=0 in release mode, which led to the macro check always being true. The change was hidden in the Github PR since it was in our .xcodeproj. Nobody noticed, but even if we did, I'm not sure we would have guessed the actual impact of it.
