  2017年升幅最勁，表現最「牛」的投資產品非比特幣（Bitcoin）莫屬，全因它波幅夠、保值，又有升值潛力，短短一年間比特幣已飆升約十一倍，攀上11000美元大關，表現徹底跑贏其他主流投資工具，相信來年仍會屢創新高。

  貴為虛擬貨幣的龍頭，不少人都對比特幣趨之若鶩，但亦令不少人擔心比特幣的「瘋」潮會像十七世紀荷蘭的「鬱金香泡沫」。各國巨頭都紛紛唱淡比特幣，摩根大通行政總裁戴蒙（Jamie Dimon）及股神畢非德都警告，比特幣的泡沫快將「爆煲」。摩根士丹利行政總裁高聞（James Gorman）立場就較溫和，指比特幣不會在一夜之間消失，但都不以為然地表示比特幣是投機產品，而非可靠投資。

  難免暴瀉vs登堂入室

  在芝加哥商品交易所（CME）宣布推出比特幣期貨後，比特幣隨時接受空軍「賭跌」沽空的挑戰，分析提醒投資者要小心比特幣「熊出沒注意」，隨時損手爛腳。

  然而，就算看淡的人中，不少都承認，比特幣2018 年會繼續飆升，只是無人知道它會何時下跌。連戴蒙都說，比特幣在暴跌之前仍有一段升值空間。著名基金經理諾沃格拉茨（Mike Novogratz）就看好主流投資機構將在未來6 至8 個月投入比特幣懷抱，讓比特幣「登堂入室」，帶動比特幣再闖高峰。風險投資家德雷珀（TimDraper），亦認為虛擬貨幣的地位會在未來大大提升，長遠取代實質貨幣，強調比特幣不會爆煲。

  雖然比特幣能否成為實質貨幣，仍然言之尚早，但比特幣的生產機制限定它的數量最多只有2100 萬枚，不會好像其他國家的貨幣因「印銀紙」而貶值，就如藝術品一樣稀少，所以確是可收藏的保值之選。

  虛擬貨幣恐群雄並起

  隨着愈來愈多國家承認虛擬貨幣，加上來年各地的地緣政治局勢不明朗下，比特幣將有不錯的升值潛力。

  華爾街著名分析師Tom Lee亦看好比特幣會在2018年中升上1.15萬美元，較他在2017年8 月所預測的6000 美元提高近一倍，不過就強調比特幣「宜長揸不宜短炒」。他早前曾預料比特幣會在7000美元附近作短期調整，並建議如果比特幣回落至5500 美元範圍就是入市的好時機。其後比特幣亦如他所言在跌至5600美元後反彈。

  Tom Lee認為目前比特幣已清除市場上的「弱手」，並看好比特幣賬戶數量及交易額增長，會帶動其價格穩步上揚，所以建議投資者增持比特幣。如果依照他的說法，以當前價格購入比特幣，到2018 年中都有不俗的升值空間，的確是「可以一戰」。

  隨着Uber、Airbnb的冒起，「共享經濟」變成炙手可熱的概念。現時Uber和Airbnb的市值估計分別高達700億和300億美元，儼然成為陸上客運及酒店業的龍頭；有研究更加預期，共享經濟的整體收益到2025年將增長至3000多億美元，屆時便會與相關的傳統業務收益平分秋色。

  共享經濟前景秀麗，以至不少新舊企業紛紛宣稱加入共享經濟行列，恍如當年科網熱潮時不少企業爭先恐後變身成為科網股。共享經濟的概念看似簡單，但仔細說來你會發現其邊界頗為模糊。

  兩個難題與兩度板斧

  共享經濟的根本想法是，用家把本來閒置的物品透過互相調配，做到物盡其用。什麼物品能夠共享其實沒有特定限制，但觀乎現時較為成功的共享概念，不難發現一些使用時間較為固定而閒置時間較長的物品，共享的經濟效益較大。

  共享概念的應用其實非新鮮事物。大概以往上班時在升降機口撞見隔鄰揸車的陳生時，陳生順路「兜埋」便是早期的Uber；從前家庭主婦行唔開，要麻煩樓下蘇師奶幫手斬廿蚊叉燒，也算得上是屋邨板Deliveroo。

  當然，受惠於網絡科技的發展，現時的共享經濟已經遠遠超越過去左鄰右里的規模。透過配有全球定位裝置的手機、互聯網這些科技，共享經濟現已成為一個由成千上萬個人組成的市場（peer-to-peer market）；同時也衍生大量協助用家調配閒置資源的網絡平台。平台經濟學（platform economics）也成為一門愈趨重要的學科。

  雖然網絡科技大大擴闊了共享經濟的疆界，同時卻帶來兩個難題：

  一、當科技大大增加用家數目時，既增加共享的可能性，也增加配對的難度。對於外賣服務等用家沒有特別個人喜好和沒有什麼獨特性的物品和服務，共享平台通常會直接為用家進行配對以節省時間。至於如旅行住宿這些用家各有心頭好的物品，用家一般希望能得到更多選擇，共享平台則多數利用用家、甚至與用家喜好相似的群組的過往選擇紀錄和其他數據，向用家推介（推介系統，即recommendation system）。

  二、科技拉近用家之間的距離，但並沒有增加彼此的信任。雖然大部分交易都有合約條款可依，但根本無法事前把各項細節全部代表清楚，於是口碑和信譽正好用來減低白紙黑字所需的交易費用，彌補這個缺口。

  過去共享經濟主要局限於小社區之中，除了因為科技限制了聯繫範圍之外，同樣是由於透過小社區內人與人之間的緊密接觸，才能建立起共享物品所需的口碑。後來經濟活動在工業化和全球化下衝出社區，信任則是靠以大集團為主的中介以金錢和商譽建立。

  共享平台上存在的，卻是大量互不認識的個體用家或產品提供者，可謂全無互信基礎可言。波士頓大學瑞桑托斯（Chrysanthos Dellarocas）教授曾經研究eBay的數據，發現接近九成的eBay交易中，買賣雙方都是首次接觸，正突顯這些由零散個人組成的市場，難以透過重複交易而建立互信。

  自然有人操控評分

  為此，網上市集於是慢慢發展出一套評分制度（rating system），希望透過每次交易過後用家的評分，為寂寂無聞的用家逐步建立口碑。克瑞桑托斯的研究發現，這套評分制度的確在發揮作用，面對陌生的交易對手，用家的評分往往影響交易價格，特別是那些金額較大、風險較高的交易。

  不過，正如經濟學理論推斷，網上評分制度也有其限制。首先，評分花掉用家時間但不見得有什麼回報，因此用家評分的動機不大，eBay只有一半用家於交易後給予評分。此外，評分既然對成交價格存在影響，自然有人希望加以操控，而這方面在網上很易做到。

  克瑞桑托斯發現，在eBay給予負評的用家竟然只有不足1%，正好反映這個情況。為了彌補評分制度的不足，共享平台一般也會事先篩選參與的用家，以及透過第三方（很多情況下是保險公司）對可能因違反誠信而引致的損失提供保障，以增加用家的信心。

  科技帶來的問題，可以用科技、數據解決，但共享平台未來發展面對的最大挑戰，恐怕以監管法規帶來的掣肘為最。現時社會討論的重點是，傾向是否應該把固有監管傳統經營模式套用於共享經濟之上，還是為共享經濟另立規章。我卻認為共享經濟的定義和邊界模糊，因此把討論聚焦於如何監管「共享經濟」，必然難有定論。

  直接針對營運模式

  監管共享經濟的最直接問題是，我們應該如何定義「共享經濟」？雖然我們熟悉的共享經濟，一般是以租賃方式調配閒置資源，但是我們也難以否定透過買賣這些本來已被人閒置的物品，同樣也符合共享經濟善用資源的目的，因此不少意見和研究都把那些買賣二手物品的交易平台算作共享經濟的一部分。

  同樣道理，也有人認為共享經濟着眼於能夠善用閒置資源，共享方式不一定局限於用家互相共享，也可以是集中由一個「用家」購置，再與眾多用家共享，反正在共享經濟中就有不少專為「共享」收租而購置物品的「用家」。如此一來，那些直接購置物品，然後透過出租把物件與眾多用家「共享」的出租平台，甚至所有傳統出租物品的公司都可以搖身一變成為共享經濟的一部分。因此，與其把焦點放在怎監管含糊不清的共享經濟概念，不如把精神直接花在如何應對個別行業出現的不同營運模式，特別是新的經營方式會否已經解決一些法規原先針對的問題。

  以的士行業為例，固定車資為何而設？是否為了保障乘客避免與司機「口同鼻拗」？又或是避免在路上議價而引致交通擠塞？這些問題在有可信紀錄的叫車平台、不論稱為共享經濟與否，是否仍然存在？又或者一些住宿的共享平台，是否如酒店旅館般存在大量旅客的流量，因而須要面對同樣監管？這種直接針對實際的營運模式和監管目的進行的檢討，而不是對人為劃分出來的新舊經濟概念特事特辦，將更有助為行業帶來競爭和減低利益團體純為迎合概念喜好而浪費資源。

  科技企業和人才是高科技產業的主體，科技企業和人才的積聚是高科技產業繁榮的必要條件。目前，港深兩地政府發展高科技的政策大都以資助補貼為取向來吸引企業和人才積聚。從深圳高科技產業發展的經驗來看，資助補貼固然可以起到一定作用，但並不是企業和人才在深圳積聚的關鍵因素。上世紀九十年代，由於大量企業和人才積聚在深圳從事科技創新，有不少企業取得成功，深圳的高科技產業由此騰飛。

  四、是「牽狗趕羊」還是「放狗趕羊」

  1991年，高科技產業產值僅22.9億元人民幣，佔工業總產值8.1%；到1999年，產值上升至819.79億元人民幣，佔工業總產值40.47%；期間增長將近36倍。而這10年間，政府對於企業資助並不多。到1998年，全年的市本級科技3項經費只1.5億元人民幣，並且大部分經費只可用於給高科技企業貸款和貼息。1998年，全年高科技產業中81.86%的研發費用由企業自籌。而且，這一種取向的政策有不良副作用。

  這些政策使得政府官員和評審專家掌握分配資源的權力，企業為逐利熱中於與政府官員和評審專家周旋，政府官員和評審專家成為產業中備受追捧的明星角色，權力尋租由此枝蔓叢生。深圳市科技創新委員會近年揭發的貪腐窩案就是此不良副作用的明證。而且，企業的創新的成敗只有市場才是權威評判者，無論官員和專家的經驗和知識有多豐富都會出現判斷失誤而錯配資源的情況。

  況且，即使官員和專家判斷完全正確，所能服務的企業和人才數量也有限。因此，由官員和專家這一「有形之手」分配資源，從政策的效果上看，難脫「牽狗趕羊」之嫌。

  上世紀九十年代，深圳高科技產業的騰飛是政策引導市場「無形之手」在區域間分配資源的結果。由於當時的深圳實施優於內地的經濟政策，深圳的企業有比內地企業更寬鬆的營商環境和更優惠的稅務安排。並且，由於深圳毗鄰香港，可以通過香港快速引進國外的先進技術。因此，深圳的企業相對於內地企業在爭取市場上有成本和技術上的優勢。這就是科技企業在深圳快速積聚的誘因。

  而科技企業快速積聚導致人才需求量的快速增加，深圳企業為吸引內地人才給出比內地企業高的工資。這就是人才在深圳積聚的誘因。因此，深圳優於內地的政策環境和具有先進技術引進渠道的優勢是科技企業和人才不斷在深圳積聚的關鍵因素。這一切都是市場的「無形之手」在不同的政策環境和地理優勢的區域間分配資源所使然。

  只要一個地方提供比其他地方更合適企業成長的政策環境，而且具有先進技術引進渠道的優勢，科技企業和人才自然就會在這個地方積聚。所以，高科技產業政策設計，要以建設比其他地方更優的政策環境和建設先進技術引進渠道為取向，充分發揮市場的「無形之手」在區域間吸納人才和企業，從而達到積聚科技企業和人才目的。這才是「放狗趕羊」的上策。

  五、借力深圳，取勢灣區

  目前，深圳已形成一個規模巨大的高科技產業。根據最新數據，深圳現有超過30000家科技型企業，其中超過10000家是國家級高新技術企業，各類專業技術人員超過144.1萬人，年研發投入超過800億元人民幣，年產值達19222.06億元人民幣。與深圳相比，香港高科技產業的規模要小得多。根據最新數據，香港目前從事研發人員不足30000人，年研發投入不足200億元港幣。因此，香港發展高科技產業最好是借力毗鄰的深圳，也就是說，發展香港高科技產業需要港深合作。

  要合作就要看港深各自在高科技產業上所擁有的資產是否有互補性，從香港方面來看，優勢資產包括：國際化的渠道（市場和技術引進）和國際化的金融體系；從深圳方面來看，優勢資產包括：大量的科技人才和配套的產業鏈；可以肯定，雙方資產有互補性。由於這種互補性，香港的企業希望到深圳進行研發和生產，深圳的企業希望到香港開拓國際市場、引進國際先進技術和面向國際金融市場融資；香港的人才希望到深圳創辦科技企業利用深圳的優勢發展，而深圳的高科技人才希望到香港工作賺取更高的工資。在無限制的情況下，這些意願就會成為雙方企業和人才流動的趨勢。

  以滿足這些意願為取向，筆者提出下述的政策供大家思考，希望他山之石可以攻玉。政策以服務的對象不同分為兩類：

  第一類為服務人才的政策，包括一、高科技人才兩地通行免簽制；二、在香港從事高科技工作的非深圳戶籍的大陸員工，可以在深圳購買社保和入戶深圳；三、為在兩地從事高科技工作的非本地人才，提供更優待的個人所得稅安排。

  第二類是服務企業的政策，包括一、高科技企業可以在一地註冊後在另一地備案即可發給當地營業執照並視為當地企業，可在當地開設銀行戶口和開具發票進行經營活動；二、兩地高科技企業之間的產品銷售無通關限制；三、香港科技企業可以申請國家級高科技企業認證，取得認證後，與深圳高科技企業享受同等的優惠待遇。

  這些政策實施之後，因為經營上便利，深圳高科技企業更有意願到香港從事上述經營活動；因為經營上便利和香港有比內地更完善的知識產權保護體系，國外高科技企業也會產生意願到香港與內地高科技企業建立技術合作中心；因為經營上便利和上述的渠道優勢，本地科技企業會產生意願採用雙研發中心的方式運作，以達到儘量利用兩地優勢的目的；因此，科技企業將會在香港快速積聚。

  與此同時，因為人才流動的便利和企業積聚所產生的人才需求，內地高科技人才會更有意願為尋求更好的發展機會和更高的收入到香港從事高科技工作；也是因為企業積聚所產生的人才需求，香港的年輕人將會有更多的機會從事高科技工作。由此可以預見，這些政策的實施將會為香港快速積聚科技人才和企業，從而促進香港高科技產業的發展。

  現時，香港的高科技產業已遠遠落後於深圳，這些政策的實施給香港急起直追的機會。然而，這些政策由於涉及兩地不同的體制，是兩種不同體制之間經濟融合的制度安排，是對原有制度的突破，必須得到中央政府的支特。

  目前，由於中央政府倡導「粵港澳大灣區」合作計劃，這正好為深港兩地政府提供政策上先行先試的空間和機會。因此，香港政府應以此取勢，盡快與深圳政府一起設計制度安排，從而取得中央政府對政策的支持。還有，由於政策的實施必須突破現時兩地制度上的一些藩籬，勢必會在兩地引起不少人為的爭論、干擾乃至阻撓。然而，天下事無患難行，而患無行之人，只要政策順應時勢和民心，而且有中央政府的支持，為政者又用心率真而不是被各種顧慮枝蔓糾纏，就有辦法克服艱難險阻。

  最近留意到一間美國公司有一個很有趣的名字，叫Dollar Shave Club。該公司不單止名字有趣，發展歷程更加傳奇。Dollar Shave Club於2011年由兩名30多歲的創辦人在加州成立，2012年開始獲多間風投基金支持並高速增長，2016年更以10億美元被收購。

  不看公司名字，讀者們可能會以為它又是另外一間高科技的公司。其實，Dollar Shave Club科技含量絕對不高，兩位創辦人更不是IQ爆棚的天才，而他們的business model很簡單：顧客在該公司的手機App或網站填寫地址和信用卡等資料後便能成為會員，成為會員後，該公司便會每月自動扣除9美元會費，並把自家品牌的剃鬚刀直送到府上。

  讀者看到這裏可能不會明白，剃鬚刀又何須付月費？賣剃鬚刀等普通產品又何以發大達？讀者要明白這個故事，首先要明白當地的剃鬚刀市場。

  第一，美國男士毛髮比較旺盛，根據YouTube上用家的親自剖白，他們可能每4天到一星期左右便需要更換已變鈍的刀片，以此速度消耗刀片，選購大品牌的剃鬚刀相對昂貴。第二，如果需要在美國的超市或藥房購買刀片原來相當麻煩，刀片一律都被鎖在櫃裏，如需購買，顧客便要找上店員幫忙，過程似乎不太愉快及順暢，而刀片對他們來說卻是消耗速度極快並需要常常補給的日常用品，顧客無可避免地不斷重複這種不愉快的消費者體驗。

  適應網上生態取悅千禧後

  加上Dollar Shave Club的定價相對便宜，他們的用家只要把資料在網上登記一次，就可以每月收到刀片，一勞永逸，比逐次網購更為方便，為消費者解決了以上兩大問題，除了創新的商業模式，出色的網上宣傳亦為該公司的強項。Dollar Shave Club的CEO兼創辦人Michael Dubin在創業初期，親自粉墨登場，拍了一條搞笑的YouTube短片，結果令品牌一炮而紅，存貨翌日便告售罄，該公司至今依然利用YouTube和其他社交媒體為品牌宣傳。

  網上有人稱呼這類公司為「digitally native vertical brands」，這一代新生的品牌，以網店取代了實體店，以社交媒體宣傳代替了傳統電視廣告，以網紅代替了明星來宣傳。歷史悠久的品牌要取悅00（千禧）後的消費者，要適應不斷進化的網上生態，情況有點像人到中年才移民國外，要重新學習及適應當地語言。

  網絡是00後的「母語」，這些網絡品牌要打進消費力日增的00後市場可謂如魚得水。事實上，除了Dollar Shave Club外，這類主打網購的消費者品牌還有其他矚目的成功例子。有一家新的每日即棄隱形眼鏡的品牌叫Hubble，business model跟Dollar Shave Club有點像，都是針對這種定期消耗的個人護理產品，自動收取月費並定期送上產品。

  破舊立新 新經濟精神

  另外，一間網上男士悠閒服品牌Bonobos，早前被Walmart以3.1億美元收購了。Kellogg用了6億美元收購了一家cereal bar品牌RXBar。網上床墊品牌Purple Mattress更以10億美元市值上市，這些從網絡上冒起來的品牌全部都沒有一家成立超過10年。

  其實，當大家聽到「新經濟」這3個字時，很多時都會自動聯想到IT、AI、大數據等高科技，一般人如無科技專才似乎難以參與其中，要創造下一隻「獨角獸」更是天方夜譚。但是從上述例子中我們可以看見，幾家公司的創辦人也並不是programmer；事實上，公司科技含量也不高，新經濟的精神在於破舊立新，亦即disruptive innovation，科技只是工具，能敢於打破過時的做法才是關鍵。

  有不少行業的business model過往幾十年都沒有大變化，原因可能是一些企業經歷了幾代人後，文化開始僵化，墨守成規，沒有追貼潮流及留意市場變化，結果可能是人類未被AI取代前，這些企業可能已經被一些沒有包袱的新興公司取代， 到時才問「who moved my cheese」可能為時已晚。

  My 20-Year Experience of Software Development Methodologies

  187 fagnerbrack 3 days 73

  https://zwischenzugs.com/2017/10/15/my-20-year-experience-of-software-development-methodologies/

  Recently I read Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Harari. The basic thesis of the book is that humans require ‘collective fictions’ so that we can collaborate in larger numbers than the 150 or so our brains are big enough to cope with by default. Collective fictions are things that don’t describe solid objects in the real world we can see and touch. Things like religions, nationalism, liberal democracy, or Popperian falsifiability in science. Things that don’t exist, but when we act like they do, we easily forget that they don’t.

  Collective Fictions in IT – Waterfall

  This got me thinking about some of the things that bother me today about the world of software engineering. When I started in software 20 years ago, God was waterfall. I joined a consultancy (ca. 400 people) that wrote very long specs which were honed to within an inch of their life, down to the individual Java classes and attributes. These specs were submitted to the customer (God knows what they made of it), who signed it off. This was then built, delivered, and monies were received soon after. Life was simpler then and everyone was happy.

  Except there were gaps in the story – customers complained that the spec didn’t match the delivery, and often the product delivered would not match the spec, as ‘things’ changed while the project went on. In other words, the waterfall process was a ‘collective fiction’ that gave us enough stability and coherence to collaborate, get something out of the door, and get paid.

  This consultancy went out of business soon after I joined. No conclusions can be drawn from this.

  Collective Fictions in IT – Startups ca. 2000

  I got a job at another software development company that had a niche with lots of work in the pipe. I was employee #39. There was no waterfall. In fact, there was nothing in the way of methodology I could see at all. Specs were agreed with a phone call. Design, prototype and build were indistinguishable. In fact it felt like total chaos; it was against all of the precepts of my training. There was more work than we could handle, and we got on with it.

  The fact was, we were small enough not to need a collective fiction we had to name. Relationships and facts could be kept in our heads, and if you needed help, you literally called out to the room. The tone was like this, basically:

  pm

  Of course there were collective fictions, we just didn’t name them:

  We will never have a mission statement We don’t need HR or corporate communications, we have the pub (tough luck if you have a family) We only hire the best We got slightly bigger, and customers started asking us what our software methodology was. We guessed it wasn’t acceptable to say ‘we just write the code’ (legend had it our C-based application server – still in use and blazingly fast – was written before my time in a fit of pique with a stash of amphetamines over a weekend. It’s still in use.)

  Turns out there was this thing called ‘Rapid Application Development’ that emphasized prototyping. We told customers we did RAD, and they seemed happy, as it was A Thing. It sounded to me like ‘hacking’, but to be honest I’m not sure anyone among us really properly understood it or read up on it.

  As a collective fiction it worked, because it kept customers off our backs while we wrote the software.

  Soon we doubled in size, moved out of our cramped little office into a much bigger one with bigger desks, and multiple floors. You couldn’t shout out your question to the room anymore. Teams got bigger, and these things called ‘project managers’ started appearing everywhere talking about ‘specs’ and ‘requirements gathering’. We tried and failed to rewrite our entire platform from scratch.

  Yes, we were back to waterfall again, but this time the working cycles were faster and smaller, and the same problems of changing requirements and disputes with customers as before. So was it waterfall? We didn’t really know.

  Collective Fictions in IT – Agile

  I started hearing the word ‘Agile’ about 2003. Again, I don’t think I properly read up on it… ever, actually. I got snippets here and there from various websites I visited and occasionally from customers or evangelists that talked about it. When I quizzed people who claimed to know about it their explanations almost invariably lost coherence quickly. The few that really had read up on it seemed incapable of actually dealing with the very real pressures we faced when delivering software to non-sprint-friendly customers, timescales, and blockers. So we carried on delivering software with our specs, and some sprinkling of agile terminology. Meetings were called ‘scrums’ now, but otherwise it felt very similar to what went on before.

  As a collective fiction it worked, because it kept customers and project managers off our backs while we wrote the software.

  Since then I’ve worked in a company that grew to 700 people, and now work in a corporation of 100K+ employees, but the pattern is essentially the same: which incantation of the liturgy will satisfy this congregation before me?

  Don’t You Believe?

  I’m not going to beat up on any of these paradigms, because what’s the point? If software methodologies didn’t exist we’d have to invent them, because how else would we work together effectively? You need these fictions in order to function at scale. It’s no coincidence that the Agile paradigm has such a quasi-religious hold over a workforce that is immensely fluid and mobile. (If you want to know what I really think about software development methodologies, read this because it lays it out much better than I ever could.)

  One of many interesting arguments in Sapiens is that because these collective fictions can’t adequately explain the world, and often conflict with each other, the interesting parts of a culture are those where these tensions are felt. Often, humour derives from these tensions.

  ‘The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.’ F. Scott Fitzgerald

  I don’t know about you, but I often feel this tension when discussion of Agile goes beyond a small team. When I’m told in a motivational poster written by someone I’ve never met and who knows nothing about my job that I should ‘obliterate my blockers’, and those blockers are both external and non-negotiable, what else can I do but laugh at it?

  How can you be agile when there are blockers outside your control at every turn? Infrastructure, audit, security, financial planning, financial structures all militate against the ability to quickly deliver meaningful iterations of products. And who is the customer here, anyway? We’re talking about the square of despair:

  squareofdespair

  When I see diagrams like this representing Agile I can only respond with black humour shared with my colleagues, like kids giggling at the back of a church.

  AgileMotivationalPoster

  When within a smaller and well-functioning functioning team, the totems of Agile often fly out of the window and what you’re left with (when it’s good) is a team that trusts each other, is open about its trials, and has a clear structure (formal or informal) in which agreement and solutions can be found and co-operation is productive. Google recently articulated this (reported briefly here, and more in-depth here).

  So Why Not Tell It Like It Is?

  You might think the answer is to come up with a new methodology that’s better. It’s not like we haven’t tried:

  software-development-methods-explained-with-cars-toggl-infographic-02

  It’s just not that easy, like the book says:

  ‘Telling effective stories is not easy. The difficulty lies not in telling the story, but in convincing everyone else to believe it. Much of history revolves around this question: how does one convince millions of people to believe particular stories about gods, or nations, or limited liability companies? Yet when it succeeds, it gives Sapiens immense power, because it enables millions of strangers to cooperate and work towards common goals. Just try to imagine how difficult it would have been to create states, or churches, or legal systems if we could speak only about things that really exist, such as rivers, trees and lions.’

  Let’s rephrase that:

  ‘Coming up with useful software methodologies is not easy. The difficulty lies not in defining them, but in convincing others to follow it. Much of the history of software development revolves around this question: how does one convince engineers to believe particular stories about the effectiveness of requirements gathering, story points, burndown charts or backlog grooming? Yet when adopted, it gives organisations immense power, because it enables distributed teams to cooperate and work towards delivery. Just try to images how difficult it would have been to create Microsoft, Google, or IBM if we could only speak about specific technical challenges.’

  Anyway, does the world need more methodologies? It’s not like some very smart people haven’t already thought about this.

  Acceptance

  So I’m cool with it. Lean, Agile, Waterfall, whatever, the fact is we need some kind of common ideology to co-operate in large numbers. None of them are evil, so it’s not like you’re picking racism over socialism or something. Whichever one you pick is not going to reflect the reality, but if you expect perfection you will be disappointed. And watch yourself for unspoken or unarticulated collective fictions. Your life is full of them. Like that your opinion is important. I can’t resist quoting this passage from Sapiens about our relationship with wheat:

  ‘The body of Homo sapiens had not evolved for [farming wheat]. It was adapted to climbing apple trees and running after gazelles, not to clearing rocks and carrying water buckets. Human spines, knees, necks and arches paid the price. Studies of ancient skeletons indicate that the transition to agriculture brought about a plethora of ailments, such as slipped discs, arthritis and hernias. Moreover, the new agricultural tasks demanded so much time that people were forced to settle permanently next to their wheat fields. This completely changed their way of life. We did not domesticate wheat. It domesticated us. The word ‘domesticate’ comes from the Latin domus, which means ‘house’. Who’s the one living in a house? Not the wheat. It’s the Sapiens.’

  Maybe we’re not here to direct the code, but the code is directing us. Who’s the one compromising reason and logic to grow code? Not the code. It’s the Sapiens.

  When the Judge Distrusts Your Lawyers

  When the Judge Distrusts Your Lawyers: Waymo v. Uber Uber is in trouble.

  The trial between Alphabet’s Waymo and Uber over Waymo’s self-driving car trade secrets was scheduled to begin on December 4th before Judge William Alsup, of Oracle v. Google fame. (Readers familiar with coverage of that case know how smart and tough he is).

  According to published reports, at the last minute evidence (a letter) was discovered suggesting that Uber has a team dedicated to collecting trade secrets from competing companies. Allegedly, the people involved use disappearing-message apps, anonymous servers, and secret computers and phones to communicate without leaving a trail. The purpose was to ensure there was no paper trail that would come back to haunt the company in any criminal or civil litigation.

  However, now that this has been disclosed, that strategy has backfired.

  Whether this Uber team targeted Waymo is not entirely clear, but there is enough suspicion that it did for Judge Alsup to have postponed the trial so Waymo can conduct additional discovery – discovery that would have already have taken place had Uber disclosed this earlier.

  All of this has Judge Alsup royally peeved. According to press reports (links below) his comments at the hearing postponing trial included the following:

  “I can no longer trust the words of the lawyers for Uber in this case. … If even half of what is in that letter is true, it would be an injustice for Waymo to go to trial” “You [Uber’s lawyers] should have come clean with this long ago” “You’re just making the impression that this is a total cover up” “Any company that would set up such a surreptitious system is just as suspicious as can be” “I have never seen a case where there were so many bad things done like Uber has done in this case” So, Uber has a federal judge who is about to start a trial (not next week, but probably very soon), who distrusts Uber and, perhaps more importantly, its lawyers.*

  *This is not the first time Judge Alsup has had problems with Uber’s lawyers. See Judge blasts Waymo v. Uber lawyers, delays trial until December (Ars Technica, Oct. 3, 2017).

  This is bad news for Uber. It’s important that a trial judge trust the lawyers trying a case to tell him the truth. Trial lawyers are constantly making representations to the judge about the law and evidence, and if the lawyers representing one side of the case lose the judge’s trust, they are at a huge disadvantage. Once a judge catches a lawyer in a lie the judge will question everything the lawyer says.

  While Judge Alsup must follow the rules of evidence and civil procedure in his courtroom, there are countless ways he can tilt the scales against Uber. Studies have shows that jurors believe that the judge knows what’s “really going on” in a trial, and they watch the judge closely to try to pick up on how he views the case. The judge can communicate how he feels about the case through body language, tone of voice and a thousand other subtle clues that can’t be reviewed on appeal. He can also rule against Uber on motions and procedural issues on which he has discretion, without fear of being reversed.

  All of this leaves Uber at a disadvantage before the trial even begins.

  Presumably, Uber’s executives and in-house counsel (and perhaps the Board of Directors) are on top of this situation and trying to figure out how to proceed. What are their choices?

  Do nothing. Uber can decide to ignore its problems with the judge and proceed to trial. If the evidence supports Uber’s position that it has not actually used any of Waymo’s trade secrets (as Uber has repeatedly stated in its public announcements on this case), perhaps it can muscle its way through the case. It will have one strike against it, but that’s not an out. Retain new counsel. The judge may no longer trust Uber’s lawyers, but it’s probably too late to change law firms. However, it may not be too late to bring in a new lawyer (one that Judge Alsup is known to “trust”) to help try the case. Judge Alsup has not set a new trial date, and depending on when he does, this is not out of the question. If the new trial date is far enough in the future, it may be possible to bring in a new firm to take over as lead counsel. By doing that Uber would be signaling to the judge that it recognized his problem with current counsel, and took steps to replace them. Of course, this ignores the possibility that Uber hid information from its lawyers, and that all of the fault with the newly discovered evidence lies with Uber, something Judge Alsup may already suspect. File a motion asking Judge Alsup to recuse himself (withdraw from the case). A recusal motion may be based on evidence that a judge is biased or lacks impartiality. That said, recusal motions are always a long shot, and I don’t think Judge Alsup’s comments have crossed the line. And, an unsuccessful motion for recusal might only backfire and make things worse for Uber. Before filing a motion to recuse Judge Alsup, Uber would do well to keep in mind Emerson’s quote that “when you strike at a king, you must kill him.” That said, I’m pretty sure some associate at Uber’s law firm is feverishly researching Ninth Circuit recusal law today. Settle the case. It’s almost certain that there have been settlement discussions in this case. Given its current problems, Uber’s cost/benefit analysis of settle/litigate has changed, and Uber should consider putting more on the table. This may include more money and some form of independent monitoring process that would give Waymo assurances that Uber is not using its trade secrets. It may even go so far as to put Uber’s self-driving car project on hold for some period of time. None of these options is likely to be appealing to Uber, but these are the choices that face a party who has (and whose attorneys have) angered or alienated a judge. Uber is in a tough spot. How it will extricate itself – or whether it even can – remains to be seen.

  William Alsup, the coding judge who decides tech cases

  115 nkurz 9 hrs 22

  https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/19/16503076/oracle-vs-google-judge-william-alsup-interview-waymo-uber?

  news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15834800

  On May 18th, 2012, attorneys for Oracle and Google were battling over nine lines of code in a hearing before Judge William H. Alsup of the northern district of California. The first jury trial in Oracle v. Google, the fight over whether Google had hijacked code from Oracle for its Android system, was wrapping up.

  The argument centered on a function called rangeCheck. Of all the lines of code that Oracle had tested — 15 million in total — these were the only ones that were “literally” copied. Every keystroke, a perfect duplicate. It was in Oracle’s interest to play up the significance of rangeCheck as much as possible, and David Boies, Oracle’s lawyer, began to argue that Google had copied rangeCheck so that it could take Android to market more quickly. Judge Alsup was not buying it.

  “I couldn't have told you the first thing about Java before this trial,” said the judge. “But, I have done and still do a lot of programming myself in other languages. I have written blocks of code like rangeCheck a hundred times or more. I could do it. You could do it. It is so simple.”

  As counsel for Oracle tried to continue speaking, the judge only became more and more indignant. It was an offhand comment that would snowball out of control, much to Alsup’s chagrin. It was first repeated among lawyers and legal wonks, then by tech publications. With every repetition, Alsup’s skill grew, until eventually he became “the judge who learned Java” — Alsup the programmer, the black-robed nerd hero, the 10x judge, the “master of the court and of Java.”

  Judge Alsup would like everyone to know that he doesn’t know Java.

  Not very well, anyway. He can, however, definitely code. He’s been coding in BASIC for decades, actually, writing programs for the fun of it: a program to play Bridge, written as a gift for his wife; an automatic solution for the board game Mastermind, which he is immensely fond of; and most ambitiously, a sprawling multifunctional program with a graphical interface that helps him with yet another of his many hobbies, ham radio.

  These major cases have wound up in the docket of maybe the one judge in America capable of understanding their technical details: a judge who can code His interests have served him well on the judicial bench, informing his outlook on the multibillion-dollar intellectual property cases that come to him. The fortunes of tech companies can rise or fall depending on his rulings. Oracle v. Google has wide repercussions for big companies and smaller developers alike, to say nothing of the $9 billion at stake. The yet-to-be-totaled billions Alphabet is seeking from Uber in the ongoing Waymo v. Uber suit could make or break Uber as a player in the nascent self-driving car market.

  By sheer coincidence, these major cases have wound up in the docket of maybe the one judge in America capable of understanding their technical details: a judge who can code. Alsup’s long-cherished hobby illuminated issues at the very heart of Oracle v. Google, and his off-hours tinkering with photography, lenses, and the science of light will inform him in Waymo v. Uber, a case involving LIDAR, a laser-based technology for self-driving car navigation.

  The tech industry has long despaired of the law’s inability to comprehend it, making much of the legal system’s struggle to keep up with the rapid pace of progress. The belief that the law will never “catch up” to technology is borne in part of tech exceptionalism, a libertarian elitism that derides any kind of legal or regulatory impediment as Luddism. But it’s also fueled by genuine frustration with the state of law. The patent office is perceived to be rubber-stamping obvious technologies. Supreme Court justices appear befuddled by the basic process of coding. And attorneys stack juries with non-technical jurors who return massive verdicts for patents on online shopping carts.

  In this landscape, Alsup is an outlier — a mystifying exception to the accepted wisdom that the law cannot make sense of the fast-changing tech industry. Alsup’s secret is simple: he’s a lifelong geek.

  Alsup is notorious among San Francisco’s attorneys for the early hours he keeps (and forces upon the lawyers who appear before him). At 9AM, most of the judges’ chambers at the federal courthouse were still dark, and doors were closed. But when I got to Alsup’s chambers, the door was flung open and the bustle inside suggested that everyone had already been at work for hours.

  A white-haired man with rectangular wire-frame glasses and a soft Southern accent, Alsup is of normal stature, but his imposing presence leaves you with the impression that he towers over you.

  Alsup’s chambers have many of the classic aesthetics of the legal profession: the shelves upon shelves of leather-bound books, the stained wood paneling, a small black-and-white portrait of Abraham Lincoln hanging over an intimidatingly large desk. Off to the side sits a sofa strewn with dog toys. Alsup’s Jack Russell Terrier, who he often brings to work, was not at the office that day.

  The judge sat me down on the sofa and walked me through his programs on a 2011 court-issued Dell laptop. He couldn’t run the same programs on his desktop computer, he said with some irritation, so the Dell was here to stay. “It’s the last one that will support QuickBASIC, which is kind of a shame, because it’s the only language I really know.”

  “It’s the last one that will support QuickBASIC, which is kind of a shame, because it’s the only language I really know.” The judge is not a hardware fanatic. He uses computers and whatever smartphone the court has provided him with. He has a court-issued iPhone, but if the Northern District of California issued him an Android, he’d use an Android, he said.

  I asked him if I could put his code on GitHub, and he asked me what GitHub was. In lieu of that, he handed me printouts of his computer programs, three stacks of paper that had been neatly stapled at the corners. The one on the top, he apologized, had several dependencies that he hadn’t had the time to print out. Long before he became the judge presiding over Silicon Valley, Alsup had been a hobbyist operating in isolation; he’s a geek, but he’s a geek from another era.

  Alsup was born in 1945 in Jackson, Mississippi, the son of two rural Texans — a nurse and a civil engineer who got his start under Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration. Even as a boy, Alsup displayed the freewheeling curiosity and technical bent that would characterize his later life. He spent much of his childhood alongside Hubert Feild, now a professor at Auburn University. Friends since the age of six, the two built forts together, buried time capsules, launched lighter-than-air balloons made of laundry bags, shot flaming matches from clothespins (an Alsup invention), and had “dirt clod wars,” which, Feild said, were “not recommended.”

  “Bill was an extremely bright kid,” Feild said. Alsup taught himself piano, but, dissatisfied with the sound, modified the instrument by pressing thumb tacks into the hammers that strike the piano wire. His hack made the piano sound like it came from a long-lost cowboy saloon. “I still have recordings of Bill playing classic songs (such as those by Ray Charles) on his ‘new and improved’ version of his piano,” Feild said.

  But if there was one gadget that caught the boys’ imaginations, it was ham radios. The two spent hours listening to shortwave broadcasts, combing frequencies on a Zenith Transoceanic radio with a seven-foot telescoping antenna. They tuned into faraway stations like Radio Moscow, Radio Quito, and Radio Havana, but most of their time was spent listening to the amateur radio operators — the so-called “hams.”

  “As we listened to the conversations from hams in various states in the US as well as foreign countries, it was as if a ‘new world’ had been discovered beyond the confines of Mississippi,” Feild said. He would listen as Alsup, who became a licensed ham operator while still in high school, carried on conversations from his bedroom with far-off interlocutors, sometimes in Morse Code.

  A young Alsup at his ham radio, around 1963. “Bill had, and continues to have, a very strong influence on my life,” Feild said. “For the last 20 years or so, Bill and I talk via ham radio each Saturday morning.”

  After high school, Alsup began as an engineering major at Mississippi State, intending to be a civil engineer like his father. But this was the ‘60s, and the civil rights movement was in full swing: the March on Washington happened during his freshman year in college; the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed in his sophomore year. As Alsup took an interest in broader legal issues, something clicked. “I wanted to be another Atticus Finch,” Alsup said to me. After college he attended Harvard Law School, and went on to clerk for Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas.

  He set up shop in Mississippi doing civil rights work, but found it financially unsustainable. Eventually he and his wife relocated to San Francisco in 1973, and over the years he worked both in private practice and at the Department of Justice. In 1999, he was commissioned as a federal judge by President Bill Clinton.

  “I wanted to be another Atticus Finch.” In the Northern District of California, Alsup has a fearsome reputation among lawyers. His early hours are the bane of attorneys, who are forced to argue motions as early as seven, sometimes even earlier if the judge sees that everyone is present. Litigators are timed down to the minute, and juries are let out at the exact time he specifies.

  In the second Oracle v. Google trial, he refused to allow lawyers to continue to question Eric Schmidt past 1PM, even though this meant that the president of Alphabet would have to return to court the next day. The business of a $570 billion mega corporation would have to make way for jurors picking up kids from daycare, putting dinner on the table, and catching the train for a long commute back home. “I know the witness is a busy man,” Alsup said. “But the jurors’ time counts a lot more right now.”

  He keeps his courtroom significantly colder than the rest of the building; it’s rumored that the air conditioning is cranked up high to keep the jurors awake. If someone coughs in the gallery, Alsup pauses the trial to demand to know who did it. Once the cougher is identified, the judge produces a cough drop — he keeps them by the judge’s bench for such eventualities — and the cough drop of shame is passed down through the ranks of attorneys and into the gallery. If the cough persists, the cougher must exit the courtroom, as swiftly and as quietly as possible.

  If someone coughs in the gallery, Alsup pauses the trial to demand to know who did it Out of earshot, when the jurors are closed off inside their deliberations room, he can be harsh to attorneys. But the judge that jurors see is a grandfatherly, solicitous Southern gentleman, one who takes the time to ask after individual jurors and to thank them for the time they’re putting in.

  When one of the Oracle v. Google jurors was stung by a bee during the trial, Alsup asked her if she could still follow the proceedings. When she hemmed and hawed, he said, “Let me rephrase. Can you understand what is going on just as well as you could before you were stung by a bee?”

  “Yes,” she replied without hesitation.

  The American system allows attorneys a great deal of power over who gets to be a juror. That’s why a jury in a software copyright trial taking place in San Francisco, California, the tech capital of the world, ended up with zero jurors with experience in the computer industry. But attorneys can’t pick the judges they end up with. And the litigators in the tech-dominated Northern District of California have learned they can’t pull a fast one on Judge Alsup.

  Sample code from Judge Alsup’s 2012 opinion in Oracle v. Google. Oracle v. Google is a vast, sprawling piece of litigation over the Android platform, one where the billions of dollars at stake were the least-significant possible consequence of the lawsuit. There’s a reason why over 70 notable computer programmers signed onto an amicus curiae “Brief of Computer Scientists” to the Federal Circuit, and later to the Supreme Court, in an attempt to explain the technical question at the heart of the case. Each one of them feared what Oracle v. Google could do to their profession.

  Oracle brought multiple patent claims and a copyright claim against Google in 2010, only to lose across the board in 2012 in a trial presided over by Judge Alsup. But Oracle appealed, and the Federal Circuit ruled in its favor. When Google tried to appeal again, the Supreme Court declined to hear the case, and sent it back down to Judge Alsup at the district court. The case was tried again in 2016. Again, a jury came back in favor of Google, and again, the appeal is pending before the Federal Circuit. After seven years of litigation, the lawsuit at this stage has boiled down to a single question: did Google’s use of 37 Java APIs infringe Oracle’s copyright?

  Software copyright is difficult to grapple with. When it comes to music, movies, literature, paintings, and even Bikram yoga, it’s pretty easy to have an opinion about whether something has been copied. Software, on the other hand, was an awkward late addition to the original Copyright Act of 1976, shoehorned into section 102(a) as a “literary work.”

  Copyright is only supposed to cover creative works, not what’s useful or functional. That’s why the functional elements of anything — from mannequins to accounting ledgers to computer program menus — are barred from being copyrightable.

  Is code a functional tool, or is it a creative expression? Is code a functional tool, or is it a creative expression? To the extent that code “conveys meaning,” it does seem like an art form with a valid claim to copyright. Think of programmers who refer to “elegant code” or “badly written code.” But when that code is being executed to move a robot arm to pick up and fasten a bolt, that seems entirely functional — and therefore, not the kind of thing that can be addressed by copyright.

  You can’t copyright a urinal. But you could probably copyright a sculpture of a urinal. And like Duchamp’s famous work, code is both, at the same time.

  “You've seen courts wrestling with [this] for decades,” says James Grimmelmann, a law professor at the Cornell Tech Institute who once worked as a Microsoft programmer. “It turns out that actually carving up a piece of software into those functional and nonfunctional parts is really hard,” he says. “It requires a really nuanced understanding of just what is doing something and what means something in software.”

  The Oracle v. Google case concerns a specific component of software: the application programming interface. APIs are a collection of well-defined interactions, a sort of shorthand to quickly access services, libraries, other functionalities. APIs have been compared to dictionaries of words with their definitions, but John Bergmayer, a senior staff attorney at Public Knowledge, says they’re more like collections of proverbs or idioms. You don’t need to know idioms to be able to speak grammatically correct English, but as many ESL students know, you’re going to have a hell of a time communicating without them. An idiom might be a lovely turn of phrase, but the more common it is in a pool of speakers, the more it simply serves as a shorthand for something that might take more time to spell out. Similarly, APIs often condense commonly used or particularly complex code.

  This is the question at the heart of Oracle v. Google. Section 102(b) of the Copyright Act excludes copyright protection for “any idea, procedure, process, system, method of operation.” Is an application programming interface a process, system, or method of operation? Or is it a creative expression that warrants copyright protection?

  When Google first created Android, the company made the decision that it would be compatible with Java, a popular programming language. By using Java, Android could tap into an existing community of developers, and maybe even their existing code. Anyone could write in Java, but Sun Microsystems, which had developed the language, maintained strict control over Java Standard Edition and Java Mobile Edition, which allow Java code to be deployed on desktop computers and mobile phones.

  Google’s reimplementation of the Java APIs was almost entirely written from whole cloth After negotiations to license Java broke down, an army of engineers at Google wrote a clean room implementation of Java SE — meaning that the code was reverse engineered by a team that was forbidden from accessing the original code. Oracle acquired Sun in 2010, and in a matter of months, filed a lawsuit against Google over Android.

  Google’s reimplementation of the Java APIs was almost entirely written from whole cloth. But it shared declaring code — code that identifies the names of other constituent parts of code — with the APIs of Java Standard Edition. Not only that, the structure, sequence, and organization of the implementation looked similar. And then there was rangeCheck, the infamous nine lines of code. They made their way into Android by way of Joshua Bloch, who had, suspiciously, previously worked at Sun Microsystems and had authored many of the Java APIs. (This was only an unfortunate coincidence, Judge Alsup later determined. Bloch had continued to contribute to OpenJDK, the open-source implementation of Java, after he left Sun for Google, and his code had wound up in both Android and Java SE through innocuous circumstances.)

  In order to be compatible with Java, certain calls to certain APIs should look about the same. For example, the method that finds that maximum value in a set of numbers is quite sensibly named java.lang.Math.max. Oracle argued that Google could have just called it java.lang.Arith.larger. Google argued that the Java APIs were similar to the QWERTY keyboard layout. Sure, a keyboard could be organized any other way, but keyboard manufacturers keep making QWERTY keyboards, because people are used to that setup.

  Languages build on top of other languages, and part of that means that their APIs look similar. The Java regular expression API is a reimplementation of Perl 5 and the Java string formatting API is a reimplementation from C. This is one of the reasons why programmers get up in arms about Oracle v. Google; it just doesn’t make any sense to police Google for something that everyone else has been doing for forever. There is a general consensus among software developers that Oracle was wrong: that APIs are meant to be used, that to restrict their usage would subvert their purpose.

  Indeed, even Oracle had a hard time being consistent about its own position. In 2015, a corporate witness for Oracle said in a deposition that the Java APIs and the Java language — which is free to use — were “inseparable,” only to backtrack after his lunch break while sweating profusely.

  When Oracle v. Google went to trial the first time, in 2012, the jury found in favor of Google on every patent claim. But the copyright question had since split into two stages. Were the claimed elements of the APIs copyrightable to begin with? And if they were copyrightable, were they fair use? The first question was decided by Judge Alsup; the second was by the jury.

  The jury was hung on the question of whether Google’s use of the Java APIs was fair use. But it turned out not to matter, it seemed, because Judge Alsup ruled that Oracle didn’t have copyright in the declaring code or the structure, sequence, and organization of the implementing code. There was no infringement because there was nothing to infringe. And this was, Alsup concluded, because structure, sequence, and organization for API implementing code was functional rather than creative in nature.

  Alsup’s opinion was distinctive for its meticulousness and technical savvy In a case where witnesses and lawyers had struggled to explain APIs, comparing them to everything from file cabinets to electric wall sockets, Alsup’s opinion was distinctive for its meticulousness and technical savvy. For pages on end, it describes how code works, from the difference between source code and object code, to classes, declarations, headers, subroutines, methods, interfaces, and packages. It even includes sample code.

  It’s hard to imagine a judge without Alsup’s long experience as a coder coming up with such an opinion. Alsup’s background certainly came in handy when he ruled on rangeCheck, the infamous nine lines of code.

  “It was the kind of thing I had done many times myself in QuickBASIC,” he says, five years after that hearing. (The judge uses Microsoft’s QuickBASIC, which is an integrated development environment and compiler for BASIC, to program in). “And if you had given me that problem in QuickBASIC, I was certain I could go back within an hour and I would have a working QuickBASIC model of that.”

  When we spoke, the judge was careful when talking about Oracle v. Google, since a second appeal is still pending at the Federal Circuit. But it seemed like he was still irritated with Oracle’s attempts to cast the copied lines of rangeCheck as a “big deal.” The coder in him may have even felt a little sorry for the beleaguered author of rangeCheck. The incident bothered Alsup so much that he spent an entire section of his opinion on it. “Oracle has made much of nine lines of code that crept into both Android and Java. This circumstance is so innocuous and overblown by Oracle that the actual facts, as found herein by the judge, will be set forth below for the benefit of the court of appeals.” (The nine lines of code never came up again in the case.)

  Alsup’s 2013 opinion in Oracle v. Google is, as Grimmelmann says, “the most detailed, most difficult, most nuanced engagement” that the judiciary has ever had with software copyright. He teaches Oracle v. Google to his own IP class. “It’s a framing of this is how Java works, this is what the different elements of source code are… it’s not just judging the case before him. It’s a piece of writing that’s pedagogical.”

  Thanks to the meticulousness of his opinion, a great deal of Alsup’s understanding of Java and of software development remains preserved in the law, and is being passed down to young would-be lawyers. That may be the most lasting mark left by the remarkable ruling of the coder judge — because the judgment itself has been completely overturned.

  “It’s not just judging the case before him. It’s a piece of writing that’s pedagogical.” Alsup’s 2013 ruling in Oracle v. Google went up on appeal almost immediately, and in 2014, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit came back with a shocking reversal, one that resulted in countless law review articles penned by irate scholars of copyright law. The appeals court wrote that Oracle had “unlimited options as to the selection and arrangement of the 7,000 lines Google copied.” Oracle didn’t have to name the function java.lang.Math.max. It could have been called “any number of things,” like “Math.maximum” or “Arith.larger.”

  It’s small tells like that one that suggest an overall unfamiliarity with code. (In another part of the opinion, the court says, “Google was free to develop its own API packages and to ‘lobby’ programmers to adopt them.”)

  Google appealed the Federal Circuit decision up to the Supreme Court, which declined to take the case. The suit was sent right back to where it started: with Judge Alsup in San Francisco, for a second jury trial, and on May 26th, 2016, a jury found fair use in favor of Google.

  Google may have won, but not only is the case still pending — Oracle has appealed again to the Federal Circuit — it’s not clear what the actual effects of the case will be over time. The jury verdict of fair use doesn’t provide any guidelines on when it is or isn’t okay to copy declaring code, or the structure, sequence, and organization of an API.

  Whatever insight or clarity Alsup had written into his opinion, built upon his long experience with BASIC, had simply evaporated away, blown to bits by the appellate court.

  Photo by Sarah Jeong / The Verge Alsup is not shy about his coding chops: “I do think I am a good programmer, and I think when you read these programs you can see that — since I’ve taught myself everything — there are some pretty nifty programming devices in these QuickBASIC programs.” He added, “But they’re not Java.”

  The judge has been coding ever since he got his first computer in 1985: an old IBM that he’s since consigned to a dark and dusty corner of a barn on his Yosemite ranch. It used a 5 ¼-inch floppy disk and didn’t have a hard drive. You could get the version with one floppy drive, or you could get the version with two. He and his wife sprang for the luxe two-drive version.

  The computer came with two books, one about the DOS operating system, and the other about BASIC. “At some point, I looked at the BASIC book and decided I would learn that.” He taught himself straight from the book, which he recalls was “pretty straightforward.”

  The first programs he wrote were the example ones, simple routines that did arithmetic. They became increasingly complex: one that would play blackjack, one that played seven-card stud. They were all stored on a 5 ¼-inch floppy disk that was destroyed in 1988 when his two-year-old son ravaged it with the stapler.

  “He was so proud of himself,” Alsup said wistfully.

  Alsup’s shortwave radio propagation predicting program. Photo by Sarah Jeong / The Verge Of all the programs he’s written, it’s his shortwave radio propagation predictor that he’s most proud of — and with good reason. It’s a relatively complex piece of software with multiple dependencies and retro-looking graphic interfaces, including an Azimuthal projection map based on the starting location you pick, complete with colored lines that track the movement of the sun, and extensive databases that he compiled by hand from atlases. (He is immensely proud of the massive amount of time he has spent doing data entry in his off hours, both before and after becoming an Article III judge appointed by the president of the United States.)

  The program predicts the best times to target ham radio signals to various parts of the world by calculating between two endpoints that he specifies, or even generating tables of data about key locations he’s selected from all over the globe.

  Even in 1995, when he started coding his program, there were commercial versions available of similar programs. But, he says, “I just wanted the fun of being able to see if I could do it.”

  His call-sign is N6XMW, or as he puts it, “November Six X-Ray Mike Whiskey” He uses his program to calibrate his Yaesu Mk V Field radio to talk his friends all over the world, including his childhood friend “Junior” Feild, and operator friends he’s made in places as far away as Japan and New Zealand. He still spends a couple of hours operating his radio every month, mostly from the Sierra foothills. His call-sign is N6XMW, or as he puts it, “November Six X-Ray Mike Whiskey.”

  The judge spent almost an hour explaining this particular program to me, going over each of the various inputs that can change shortwave radio propagation, as well as the science behind it. The interview turned into an impromptu physics tutorial as he patiently explained the solar flux, K-index, and the ionosphere to me.

  Predicting radio propagation takes into account more than a few of these constantly fluctuating variables, all of which change depending on where you are and where you’re trying to reach, as well as the time of year and time of day.

  Once he puts in the variables, he hits enter, and the computer begins to calculate. “See,” he said. “It’s thinking.”

  Indeed, the computer screen is now blank, except for the words, “Thinking…”

  During the lengthy demonstration, the program does run into trouble once: a dependency breaks, and for some reason, it won’t let him input New York City as a location. “That’s not good,” he mutters to himself. “Alright… so I goofed up,” he admits to me. We agree to try a different location entirely, and the program runs smoothly from there on.

  Alsup has coded in relative isolation for decades, learning from books and compiling databases by hand. It’s a marked difference from the typical practices of the current generation of software developers, whose workflow and habits often tap into a larger community. He doesn’t Google for solutions, he doesn’t check StackExchange, and he doesn’t use preexisting libraries. Everything he’s written, he’s written from scratch.

  In fact, Alsup’s closest encounter with the culture and community that has sprung up around programming seems to be Oracle v. Google.

  In an infamous exchange in the second trial, erstwhile Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz tried to explain free and open-source software to the jury, starting with GNU, a project integral to Linux that can be loosely described as both an operating system and associated suite of software.

  “What does GNU stand for?” Alsup interrupted to ask.

  “GNU is Not Unix,” said Schwartz.

  “That doesn’t make any sense,” the judge replied “The G part stands for GNU?”

  Schwartz confirmed.

  “That doesn’t make any sense,” the judge replied. There was some laughter in the courtroom, but it was nothing like the uproar on Twitter afterward, as hundreds of nerds across the world facepalmed. (I even later saw a webcomic about this exact exchange.)

  The GNU acronym is recursive, meaning that it invokes itself in an infinite loop — a move that frequently comes up in computer programming. There is a host of recursive acronyms in programming, including PHP (PHP: Hypertext Processor), cURL (cURL URL Request LIbrary), and unofficially, the search engine Bing (Bing Is Not Google). These are bad inside jokes, embarrassing markers of an insular culture that never anticipated having to explain itself in a court of law.

  And Alsup, despite having been a coder for so long, did not know what GNU stood for until that very moment. He was a little chagrined about it when I asked. Apparently an engineer friend of his (one of his backpacking buddies) had teased him for the GNU remark. “I did not know this recursive feature of the definition,” Alsup said. “Once it was explained to me, I was like, ‘Okay, that’s kind of cute.’”

  Recent shifts in computer programming have made it difficult for Alsup to keep up with his hobby. A few years ago, he made an effort to learn Python, but that fell by the wayside when he “got too busy,” presumably with his day job as a federal judge. Microsoft has since stopped bundling QuickBASIC with Windows, making it impossible for Alsup to run his programs on newer computers.

  It’s poetic in its own way: the judge who presided over a major compatibility case is now himself a victim of compatibility issues.

  Photo by Sarah Jeong / The Verge In December, Alsup will preside over Waymo v. Uber, a potentially multibillion-dollar lawsuit in which Uber is accused of stealing intellectual property around self-driving car technology from a division of Alphabet. Waymo doesn’t grapple with core principles of intellectual property law the way that Oracle v. Google does, but like that case, the outcome could change the face of the industry forever.

  In our conversations, Alsup has been very careful not to discuss the ongoing Waymo case. But he’s enthusiastic about the science surrounding the lawsuit. This time, it’s his interest in photography and optics that might be most relevant to Waymo v. Uber. In March, Alsup requested that each side name a book or a treatise about LIDAR, a laser-based detection system used for self-driving cars that is at issue in the case, so that he could read up on it. But a court order sternly cautioned the parties not to patronize him.

  Please keep in mind that the judge is already familiar with basic light and optics principles involving lens, such as focal lengths, the non-linear nature of focal points as a function of distance of an object from the lens, where objects get focused to on a screen behind the lens, and the use of a lens to project as well as to focus. So, most useful would be literature on adapting LiDAR to self-driving vehicles, including various strategies for positioning light-emitting diodes behind the lens for best overall effect, as well as use of a single lens to project outgoing light as well as to focus incoming reflections (other than, of course, the patents in suit).

  A court order sternly cautioned the parties not to patronize him Alsup also asked for a tutorial in LIDAR, presented by lawyers from both sides. It’s something he does for a lot of different cases. He enjoys the tutorials, he said to me, and he listens carefully. But still, he suspects that he understands the technology better than the lawyers do in a great number of cases.

  He has a long memory for lawyers he suspects of trying to get one over him, only to run into his engineering background and his acid tongue. Like any geek, he bears a grudge against any dodgy obfuscation of technology.

  In a case that took place about a decade ago, regarding a patent involving FastTrak (the Bay Area’s automated bridge toll pay tracking device), the two parties had come to a legally binding agreement about the technical aspects of how the patent was to be interpreted. Instead of rubber-stamping the stipulation, Judge Alsup pored over the patent himself, only to come to the conclusion that their stipulation made no sense at all.

  “I knew what the technology was. And I told them. And I wrote an order that said I refuse to accept this stipulation, and here’s what it really means. And then they both agreed with me that I was right.”

  The parties settled the case shortly thereafter.

  “I guess they thought the judge was crazy.”

  “I guess they thought the judge was crazy.” Alsup’s aggressive handling of attorneys is on full display in Waymo, perhaps fueled by deep disapproval of the millions of dollars that Alphabet and Uber are burning on some of the best litigators in the business. In the past, he’s been open about his distaste for the money that corporations fling around in court. In one post-trial hearing in Oracle v. Google, he snapped, “Do you know how many Social Security claimants I can’t rule on because you’re arguing over a costs bill?”

  In Waymo in particular he has called on the press to scrutinize how the two companies behave in court, telling journalists to keep an eye on which party chooses to get rid of jurors with technical backgrounds during jury selection. Meanwhile, Alphabet and even Lyft are fighting to keep portions of the trial closed to press, claiming that valuable trade secrets might be exposed to the public.

  A group of media companies (including The Verge’s parent company, Vox Media) has since intervened in the lawsuit, asking to keep the courtroom open. While it’s certain that parts of the lawsuit — which does involve a fair number of trade secrets — will remain sealed, Alsup has been adamant that the press has a right to know as much as they can.

  In one hearing, lawyers for Uber asked to appear in camera, making the meeting closed to the public. But once the hearing got going, Judge Alsup concluded that this was an overstep, a use of secrecy that was motivated by embarrassment rather than legitimate reasons.

  “Listen, please don't do this to me again,” he said. “There's going to be a lot of adverse headlines in this case on both sides. And I can't stop that.”

  “The public has a right,” said the judge. Then, in a classic Alsup twist, “In fact, this whole transcript? I’m going to make it public.”

  An excerpt from the transcript of the March 26th, 2017 hearing in Waymo v. Uber. Since 1999, Alsup has divided his docket between two clerks: what he calls the criminal desk and the IP desk. Cases that don’t fall into either category are evenly split between the two.

  These days, he often looks for some kind of STEM background for the IP desk. It’s not necessary, but it helps. Bill Toth, the IP clerk during Oracle v. Google, didn’t have a STEM background, but he told me that the judge had specifically asked him to take a computer science course in preparation for his clerkship. When I asked Alsup about it, he laughed a little — he had no recollection of “making” Toth take any classes — but he did acknowledge that sometimes he gives clerks a heads up about what kind of cases are coming their way, and what kind of classes might be useful ahead of time.

  Bill Toth is now clerking at the Federal Circuit, for Chief Judge Sharon Prost. He won’t be allowed to work on the Oracle v. Google appeal, of course; it would be a conflict of interest.

  But Toth is part of a new class of lawyers, one that over time will represent a larger share of the profession. Although he is a religious studies major turned lawyer, he’s a coder through and through. “I do some programming for fun,” Toth told me. “I've competed in the Google Code Jam (not terribly seriously) for the past three or four years, using Java. I think I made it past the qualifying round all but once, and I've definitely been learning a bunch each time around.” Besides the computer science course that Alsup made him take, he already knew HTML, Javascript, CSS, BASIC, and a “tiny bit of” both Python and perl before he ever applied to clerk for Alsup. Toth declined to comment on whether his coding skills ever came into play while he worked on Oracle v. Google, but it’s not hard to imagine that it made a difference.

  The tech community maintains an entrenched belief that the law will never understand what it does The tech community maintains an entrenched belief that the law will never understand what it does, and certainly the higher-level court decisions made in Oracle v. Google do nothing to dispel that notion. Yet Alsup’s very existence is a challenge to this belief: a 72-year-old former engineering student who has been quietly and delightedly tinkering away in BASIC for decades, playing with his radios and his cameras, teaching his clerks and random journalists alike the things that he knows.

  In the same patient and meticulous manner that Alsup explained the ionosphere to me, he explained software to the Federal Circuit in his Oracle opinion. And because it was so precise and so specific, he forced the Federal Circuit to engage with software development more than it otherwise might have. Regardless of the Federal Circuit’s ultimate decision, a great deal of Alsup’s understanding of software remains preserved in appellate caselaw.

  That opinion is now taught in law school intellectual property classes. As the tech sector attracts more and more money, tech-specialized lawyers are emerging to meet that demand. Many of them will be reared on Alsup’s careful pedagogy — for most of them, transmitted through words on paper, and for a lucky few, transmitted in person.

  A few hours after we conclude the interview and I leave the courthouse, he emails me with the subject line “Found the bug,” informing me that he had figured out the error from when he was showing me his shortwave radio propagation program. “I had remmed out earlier a key line for reasons I can't remember and just reactivated it, so now it's fixed,” he writes.

  I thought back to my last moments in his office. As I was packing up my recorder and notebook, I had called him the “geek judge,” only for him to look perplexed and ask, “Is that a good thing?”

  When I insist that it is, he chuckles a little in response. “In my day, a geek was not something you wanted to be.”

  Maintaining an Independent Browser Is Incredibly Expensive

  53 jonchang 2 hrs 18

  http://robert.ocallahan.org/2017/12/maintaining-independent-browser-is.html

  news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15836027

  Mozilla's revenue increased to over $500M in 2016. Good for them! Some people have asked why all that money, and Mozilla's 1,200-ish staff, are needed just to build Firefox.

  In practice building and maintaining a truly independent browser is incredibly expensive. (By truly independent, I mean a browser with its own implementation of HTML, CSS, JS, etc; this kind of independence is critically important to the open Web, and the world, and hence Mozilla's mission.)

  Why is it so expensive? First you have to do the obvious stuff: implement the client browser engine and interface. Web standards are vast and complicated and ever-evolving, so this is a vast and complicated task. For this kind of security-critical, long-lived software in an intensely competitive mass market, you have do a very high-quality job, paying attention to all the various "ilities" — security, compatibility, performance, portability, accessibility, internationalization, maintainability, and so on. But also these days a large server-side investment is needed: downloads, updates, addons, crash collection, telemetry, push notifications, sync, and so on. Then you have to support all your developers with CI, massive test infrastructure, analysis and viewing of crash and telemetry data, etc. You also support your developers by writing custom tools and improving open-source tools; for example the rr project was born at Mozilla to improve life for Mozilla's C++ developers.

  If you care about the open Web standards you're implementing, then your people need to spend time doing standards work. Since you have an independent engine you need to constantly evangelise Web developers and manage other external relationships.

  If you want to stay competitive for the long term you need something like Mozilla Research, building stuff like Rust and Servo to explore technology that may give you a competitive edge in years to come.

  Your product needs to be in the hands of users to be relevant, so you need marketing, distribution, events and other kinds of user outreach.

  Then of course you have all the people needed to let the above people do their work effectively — HR, PR, lawyers, accountants, logistics, office managers, personnel managers, executives, and so on.

  I worked at Mozilla for a long time. Over the last five years headcount was at about the quoted level, even during the FirefoxOS years. We were constantly butting up against headcount limits, having more work than we had people to do it. 1,200 people is barely enough. In the future it might not be enough.

  Of course if you're willing to give up on engine independence you can save a lot of those expenses by adopting another vendor's engine, probably Chromium, and drafting off Google's investment. It's no surprise that for-profit companies would take that path, and that only Apple and Microsoft, companies with deep pockets and deep fear of Google, have declined to do so (though even Microsoft has caved on Android). Of course, using the same engine as Chrome limits your options for competing against Chrome, but it's tough to argue that those extra options are worth more than the cost. This is one reason among many why Mozilla is so important: it's Mozilla's mission that justifies the costs of maintaining an independent browser engine.

  Neuralink is a new neural engineering company founded by Elon Musk.

  Our goal is to develop brain-machine interfaces so useful and so safe that ordinary people will choose to get them like they get a smartphone. Neuralink's aim is to bring humans and machines closer so software forms a true extension of ourselves, rather than something separate we interact with slowly and awkwardly.

  We are hiring for a fairly diverse set of technical backgrounds. There is a ton of software to write ranging from firmware to surgical robotics control to an experiment management web app. Experience with C++ for robotics is especially desirable. Culturally, we place a premium on diligence, care and thoroughness rather than trying out every latest cool framework.

  furchin 14 hrs Built For Me Inc. | Seattle, New York, San Francisco, Remote (US-only) | Senior Software Engineer | Full Time | $150k-$250k

  Who we are: We are a small company loathe to use the word “startup”. The phrase that most aptly describes us is “boutique consulting firm” as we are currently working on select software consulting projects and have a long term vision to build a stand-alone product in about a year. The future product will focus on enabling business workflows and growing workplace productivity. We are being smart in our approach balancing software consulting with our own product. We balance both to pay ourselves well and support our vision for the future.

  Who you are: You are a self-starter who can work with little supervision. You are meticulous about details and sufficiently passionate to get things done, yet know when to pivot to a more experimental move-fast mode. You should be a great teammate who looks to make your colleagues more productive because you know they are doing the same for you. You love the state-of-the-art and yet understand the danger of being there and can articulate the reasons why.

  We're a Series B company based in New York City and backed by NEA Ventures, Two Sigma Investments, Comcast and American Express. Enigma was founded in 2012 in order to centralize and normalize public data globally (think Google for public data). Our view is that public data reflects more of our everyday lives than most of us realize. It’s everywhere, from a plane taking off from an airport to a barrel of crude oil flowing through a pipeline to a new drug being approved. These things exist in specific and separate public datasets, but together, they can provide a vast and powerful view of what’s happening in the world.

  https://www.enigma.com/ https://www.enigma.com/labs

  Today, we’ve grown into an operational data management and intelligence company that uses public data to inform and train each of our products. Our mission is to empower people to interpret and improve, the world around them. We believe in curiosity and the power of discovery. We’re actively hiring and would love to hear from you.

  We solve one of the biggest problems in e-commerce: Normalizing product information. Using machine learning and NLP we transform broken, badly-labeled, unstructured data into useable, categorised and normalized data.

  Let's say you are the owner of an e-commerce shop for tools. There are three suppliers sending you the "same" screw, one calls it SCREW-ABC-123 in his CSV, the second one calls it SCREW.ABC.123 in his XLSX, third one SCREW/ABC/1-2-3 and drops it in a Word-file.

  How to bring this quickly into your SQL database? Well, so far companies have people do this stuff full-time. We are using Math and NLP to automate this.

  We work mainly with Scala (backend) and we research a lot on NLP and ML to further the field.

  We look for:

  • Senior Machine learning Researcher - you will read & write papers on machine learning and/or implement algorithms in our core product.

  • Senior Machine Learning Engineer - you will work on machine learning aspects of our core backend.

  • Senior Backend Scala engineer - you will build our well-tested backend and our core product. (Some people say we have the cleanest codebase, they have ever seen)

  • Data Preparation Export (Data Science) - you will help our customers adjust their data to our platform.

  The interview process:

  1) Screening of your CV and a few questions why you want to join us /

  2) Technical call with CTO or engineer

  3) Onsite day solving a programming task with us.

  Send us a short intro about yourself to:

  incrementalist 12 hrs Citymapper | Android & iOS Mobile Engineers (all levels) | London | ONSITE, VISA

  Citymapper is the local transit app for breezing around the world's most complicated cities. We do our own routing and interpretation of live & disruption data to give users the most complete picture of how to get where they're going, whether it's by bus, train, bike, cab, or all kinds of mix & match combinations.

  And now, when we find gaps in the transit networks, we're running services ourselves to try and fill them; read about our Night Rider bus and Project Black Bus on Medium: https://medium.com/citymapper

  So far, we've done a lot with a handful of mobile developers, but I'm hiring several more iOS & Android engineers this year to help build ambitious new features. (I wrote the original iOS app and now lead mobile engineering here.)

  Please apply at https://citymapper.com/jobs/ or mail me at joe at citymapper dot com if you want to learn more. We take good people from all over—I'm a transplant from the US myself and enjoy London life a lot more than the Bay Area FWIW.

  P.S. we're also hiring for data science & general backend work, we do a lot of heavy lifting on the backend in Python, Go, and C++

  throwaway273792 12 hrs The actual app is great so far, really useful and better in real use than Transit App.

  Can you address the comments on about Citymapper on Glassdoor [0]? I expect that many folks are held back by this.

  Any specific Glassdoor review is just anecdotal, but there is a very strong negative trend. Is it warranted? Are the problems being addressed?

  ryandamm 3 hrs Visby | Software Engineering | San Francisco, CA | Full-time | Onsite

  Visby is building a new imaging standard for natively 'holographic' displays, like VR, AR, and multi-perspective screens.

  Our tech is based on the concept of 'light fields,' the set of all light rays passing through a space. By capturing or representing all the light rays, you can determine what a user would have seen from any possible perspective. This is superior to traditional, 3D model-based imaging, because it doesn't look like a video game. Our approach is more photographic than other approaches, and leads to realistic images. While most of the work is software, we do have a huge pile of cameras and work closely with the film industry.

  The problem space is very complex, involving the latest math and algorithms, and combining ideas from a huge, dizzying number of technical fields. So you don't need to be an expert in everything to apply, just have a passion for hard problems, be willing to work on a team, and be excited to learn (and teach). We have three open positions, but we will try to build a role for the right candidate.

  elirose 1 hr Shearwater (Techstars '15) | Software Engineer, Senior Software Engineer | Boston | ONSITE | Full-time | $70k - $180k

  We are a tech startup that helps schools deliver 1-on-1 mentorship to all their students. Our customers include Tufts University, Washington University in St. Louis, University of South Carolina, Northeastern and Penn State. Our users are students and alumni of these institutions.

  Our mission is to directly increase the national graduation rate. We do randomized controlled trials to measure our impact on a given school. At the same time, we are constantly A/B testing new experiments to make progress on the deep human questions that underlie what we do:

  • Out of the thousands of alumni from this school, who will make the best mentor for this student?
  • What ingredients go into a profound mentoring relationship? How do these relationships get sustained?

  • What helps students stay in school? Overall, we have a nonprofit's mission and a tech startup's culture. We raised our seed round and went through Techstars in 2015. We are on our 4th consecutive year of tripling our revenue and are fortunate to be profitable. We currently have 2 engineers (an overall team size of 16), one of whom is writing this message. We are hiring a 3rd. Our stack is Heroku/Postgres/Ruby on Rails with an EmberJS frontend, but we don't dock you points for not already knowing these technologies -- we care far more about demonstrated ability to learn. See http://shearwaterintl.com/engineering/ for more about our engineering culture and processes.

  • While this is an onsite position, we have an extremely flexible remote work policy: work remotely whenever you feel like it and it's OK with anyone you're meeting with that day. I work from home two days a week.

  Apply through AngelList (https://angel.co/shearwater-international) and mention HN in your note. Or send me an email (eli@shearwaterintl.com) and let's talk more.

  macleodnine 12 hrs What does the (m/f) mean?

  jamestimmins 11 hrs I believe that it means 'male/female', as certain countries require that job postings say which genders the job is open to.

  kendallpark 8 hrs

  as certain countries require that job postings say which genders the job is open to

  In what countries is this a thing?

  Maultasche 7 hrs That's definitely a thing in Germany. Pretty much all job posts there have that.

  It's there because of anti-discrimination laws. Job titles and occupations in German always have a gender associated with them (it's just the way the language is), but companies aren't allowed to discriminate. So it's shorter and easier to put (m/f) at the end rather than having to always list both gender forms of job titles every time the job title comes up.

  English still has some of those gender forms for older professions. For example, there's waiter/waitress so instead of always writing "waiter/waitress" they just write "waiter" and then put (m/f) at the end to indicate that they will hire either gender.

  sverhagen 4 hrs Agreed, but adding that in Dutch a shift was even made to always designate with the male form, regardless of gender. So a "directrice" (Dutch, which would mean something like "directress" in English, a female director) then overnight became a "directeur" ("director"), with no sex change.

  Myself, I saw the familiar m/f designations here, and wondered whether that is still desirable, given the emerging use of additional designations?

  kendallpark 6 hrs Ah, thanks! That helps clarify.

  ianamartin 6 hrs It's a language thing. Many languages have genders attached to nouns, and the formulation is different for males and females. So in German, for example, a job posting might be for an Engineer (Techniker (m); Technikerin (f)), but instead of saying Techniker oder Technikerin, they will just write Techniker (m/f).

  Edit: Maultasch beat me to it.

Common degrees include Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mathematics.

  We don't normally work overtime, and we get paid more if we do. We're never expected to take work home or be on call. Because of the citizenship requirement, there is no chance that the work will be outsourced. Flex-time is fairly extreme; some do randomish hours.

  Location hints: Pick Arlington for a car-free life. Pick Florida or Texas to live in a place with solid gun rights and no state income tax. Pick Florida for almost no traffic or commute, surfing, and houses that commonly go for $100,000 to $400,000.

  bogomipz 13 hrs Time waste alert!

  I had a recruiter for ZipRecruiter contact me. He spent almost 45 minutes selling the company and its values and then went on tell me how he was different than your "typical recruiter", how he was concerned about the "candidate experience" and after all it was his reputation.

  Based on this recruiter's up-selling, I agreed to take their Hackerrank test, which was a timed test with the usual cliche algorithm problems.

  At any rate, I completed the test and then was completely "ghosted" by this individual. I never heard a word back nothing. Even after sending a few follow up emails. Unprofessional, disrespectful and hypocritical.

  theglitchmob 13 hrs I straight up refuse to take part in HackerRank interviews anymore and think any self-respecting candidate for a given company should do the same. A company using this as an interviewing method is a sign that their hiring process is broken, and if they can't truly evaluate who they hire there's sure to be any number of other red flags you'll find.

  Snapdocs (YC W14, SV Angel) is an early stage, rapidly growing company looking to fill a variety of engineering roles. We're a small team tackling the absolutely massive mortgage market. We're bringing modern, elegant software to a field that still relies on fax machines and manilla envelopes. We bring security, efficiency and joy to a paper-based pillar of the US economy. The type of problems we're tackling involve workflow, product design, data, and computer vision. We won't start work on a new feature until we can point to the numbers we hope to move. Snapdocs' culture is one that trusts its team members to make smart decisions. This means we value both independent work as well as seeking collaboration. We're becoming ubiquitous in one segment of the market and we're looking to expand further.

  Skills & Requirements

  • Rails Engineer. 4+ years experience, but more is welcome. Ideally, you're a full stack coder. But in reality, you probably lean either towards the front or the back end. That's fine, so long as you know (and enjoy) your strengths.

  • Self-motivated. To us that means when you get an interesting problem, you will rip into it until you understand its nuances and perhaps have a glimpse of the solution.

  • Empathy. We work closely with our customers, meaning phone calls, emails, and sometimes lunch. It is important in this job to listen to them so that we can build what they need and want.

And we're doing it on a sane, 40-hour, daily-team-hike, Fridays-at-home schedule. We're pre-series-A, but in many ways playing like a series B company, so this is a chance to get the best of both worlds -- early-stage equity and impact, with later-stage compensation and stability; plus a very strong team for peering or mentorship.

  Backend Engineer: We've built a NoSQL data engine from scratch that searches text at 750 GB/second. How'd you like to help us scale and optimize to multiple TB/second?

We are collaborative, respectful and fun-loving, and want to hire folks who feel the same way.
