I did apply for this position as well, 8 days ago. These things takes time.

But I must ask : do you answer people when they are rejected ? Or simply keep silent ?

Thank you for your time.

Care to elaborate ? I sense BS

I don't see a hot code replacement feature. The editing of scripts is in another window. It looks complex, but that's normal ; the thing is it seems like it abstract way too many things. Using playcanvas you don't learn js/webgl, you learn playcanvas ; see the difference ?

marcelftw | 12 years ago | on: IFTTT launches on Android with deeper integration than on iOS

I just installed it on my iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.4. Already had an account, I knew what was all the fuss about and I went my way and create a new receipe using my device delicious new "this" or "then" !

So it goes : "if any new photo taken with front camera then add file from URL to marcelftw's Dropbox".

I took several photos, but the receipe has never been triggered :( I'm a bit confused. So I went and edit the dropbox actions. So it saves photos in "selfies" with file name has "selfie-{{TakenDate}}". And the "Check Now" says everything is alright.

The iPhone 5S M7 coprocessor can be used all the time in background without draining the battery.

The new M7 coprocessor is like a sidekick to the A7 chip. It’s designed specifically to measure motion data from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass — a task that would normally fall to the A7 chip. But M7 is much more efficient at it. Now fitness apps that track physical activity can access that data from the M7 coprocessor without constantly engaging the A7 chip. So they require less battery power.

M7 knows when you’re walking, running, or even driving. For example, Maps switches from driving to walking turn-by-turn navigation if, say, you park and continue on foot. And if your phone hasn’t moved for a while, like when you’re asleep, M7 reduces network pinging to spare your battery. [/quote]

It's funny how OP tumblr is turning against him/herself.

Reading the comments, everybody is okay with the thief. But call the thief a douchebag and everybody looses their minds.

> "The day we set foot into the doors of the accelerator, we had a business that DHH would be proud of"

DHH is well known for being against investors in general. Why would he be proud ?

My point of view on this : investors are OK while the funder(s) have more than 51% share, and therefore still making the decisions. You kind of sell your thing to satan here brother, you shouldn't have. You are not in charge of what you put so much work building, from scratch. People with money come here and change your view on the business, on your values ?

Also, I feel you don't talk enough to your co-funder(s). You should not have secrets, work-wise of course.

A bit of advice, if I may : at my startup (in which I'm associate, not funder), we make a scrum retrospective meeting every now and then (2-3 weeks). In these meetings every member of the team explains : 1/ what we should do more 2/ what we should do less 3/ what we should do the same (SAME !) 4/ what they have found frustrating 5/ what they are happy about 6/ any questions I feel this is really important so that every one is happy. It takes courage to explain all this in front of people, but it builds up the team...

Anyway, good luck brother.
