Really like how she just spreadsheets it and lays it out for everyone


Here's the spreadsheet if you want to plug in the numbers from your own company

SF-Based Company: Heavybit seeks a FT onsite event manager with 5+ years experience to help design and plan developer community events and rally the community. If you've got a background in tech event management, developer evangelism and/or community building we're looking for you. We can do H1-B transfers + Greencard transfers.

About Heavybit: Started by Heroku founder James Lindenbaum, we're a 9 month program for developer co's like RainforestQA, KeenIO and Iron.io.

It surprises me that the company is moving forward with this, when they're so known for being cool in other areas like community programs. http://www.sfbg.com/politics/2014/02/28/twitter-tax-break-be...

It just seems like they're so clearly the most well known "Zen" brand out there. And if this whole thing is about branding, then why not focus on the defensibility of the product rather than the name? Am I being naive here?


Just posted the slideshare for this here: http://www.slideshare.net/heavybit/heavybit-presents-ilya-gr...


Amber also did this as a presentation at Heavybit if you're interested in seeing it http://www.heavybit.com/library/developer-technical/video/20...


I suppose this sort of thing sadly isn't surprising but I'd hate for it to overshadow the good and important things coming out of the Grace Hopper Conference. Hoping more of that comes to light.


This is awesome! It took us a while to build this and we've still got a number of upcoming features we're working on. Thanks for this!


So yesterday was YC demo day. Interested to hear if other YC founders and alum have learned similar things?


So I wrote at the risk of being a self-promotional jerk. Here's the blog post: http://blog.heavybit.com/blog/2014/7/21/video-release-former...


Awesome, thanks.

<3 self-promotion done right :)


I love the gov.uk people. Their design principles doc is still bookmarked for me https://www.gov.uk/design-principles
