I like the idea, but adding post-commit hooks to my repos is a big barrier to entry for me.

Yeah, that should be sheathed. Let's hope no-one texts for a coffee and starts a fire instead!

Does this service require me to give up my private key for a given API? Seems like a huge security risk to me.

In the example situation the choice wasn't quite so clear, as IP was on the line too. Regardless: A customer wants to pay an exorbitant fee up front, and you're fretting? Why? Take their money.

Yes, indeed. That's an important clarification.

Thanks for the link, I've updated the post :)

Absolutely. I should probably have clarified that. I do think there's a disconnect between which pieces of data people think are public vs. what is actually public. My git commit email was one of them. That's what I'm trying to illustrate i

Oops. Thanks for the heads up on the DNS issue. Should be fixed now. I'll respond to your email shortly.

Boxen is rad. We've started using it for new machines at Shopify and it's been really helpful.

This is my concern too. There's no mention of starred repos anywhere (that I could see) but lo and behold they're added to my bookmarks. This is great, and I'd much prefer to simply star projects and have them appear than use a bookmarklet

I feel like some of the icons (PayPal and WordPress in particular) are animated for the sake of being animated. overall, I feel that making every little button wiggle when I mouse over it would be distracting rather than helpful. I can't se

You should probably get your site working before soliciting interns ;)

I found that it cast those cases as extremely rare, and that you shouldn't look to them as inspiration to turn down an offer.

We've finished hiring interns for the summer, but we'll be looking again in the fall. I don't know about Toronto specifically, but keep an eye on our careers page and you'll see the positions go up in a couple of months.

Under what situation would a short reply not be acceptable? Seems to me that VSRE/VSRO telegraphs what should be known anyway. I don't like it.

The new one (Synapse 2.0) does require a login. I don't think it's required though.

Two space indentation for me. That's pretty much the default for ruby code AFAIK. I'm somewhat ambivalent about it though. On the one hand I find it easier to read (less scanning back and forth across the page) but on the other it is forgiv

Back button breaks for me too (latest Chrome). Clicking on 'see companies with questions' shows the questions, but the url doesn't change and my back button doesn't do anything.

Dashing was built to run the internal dashboards here at Shopify. As such it's biased towards our existing technology stack. Seeing as we don't use graphite, we had no need to include widgets that support it. That's why we want people to su

The graph widget is based on Rickshaw ( http://code.shutterstock.com/rickshaw/ ). The current implementation requires you to send an array of hashes with the x and y co-ordinates you want to plot. Here's the example job where you can see it

We experimented with making the default layout responsive, but ultimately decided against it. The thinking was that displaying exactly the same data on a TV, desktop, and mobile device isn't ideal. The dashboard is designed specifically for
