I worked at a company, HouseCanary, writing software for doing home appraisals. We used this formula to calculate the square footage of a home based on a computer drawing. The funny thing is that for an appraisal, you have to show your calculations. We thought showing the points and a shoelace formula whitepaper would be enough. It wasn't. So, my boss wrote code that dumps the whole calculation onto a pdf so someone who works in lending can say "that looks right".
- anitil 8y agoOff-topic - does your company have any presence in Australia?
- travisjungroth 8y agoNope
- selimthegrim 8y agoDo you no longer work there for publically divulgable reasons?
- travisjungroth 8y agoI got a job as a software engineer at another company. Came with a title bump and raise.
- selimthegrim 8y agoGlad to hear it. A friend who still works there as far as I know was singing their praises to me at a wedding a couple of years ago.
