Khan Academy posts here every month because we're growing. I was hired after responding to a post on HN, and since then we've hired roughly 1 full time developer or designer per month. See this months post for more details: http://news.yco

Python 2.7 may be present in the SDK (which is great!), but it's still in experimental mode: "Unfortunately, being on the bleeding edge means that we may make backwards-incompatible changes. We will inform the community once the Python 2.7

I can assure you we don't consider turning down applicants as marketing. Please feel free to apply again in a few months - we try to err on the side of caution when hiring, and any interviewing process likely has a large margin of error.

If you need something like Flask for GAE, you will probably find this[1] interesting. It convinced me to use webapp2 over Flask. Webapp2 is actually replacing Google's implementation with the upcoming Python 2.7 release[2]. [1]: http://sta

Just used this for a phone interview. I knew it was a bit risky to do that on launch day, but decent support for syntax highlighting, indentation, and showing the other user's cursor made me think this was a use case this app was built for.

I don't think many non-Australians know about the E3. I told my employer (very) late in the process that I needed sponsorship, and explained how easy it was to get an E3 and that I was willing to do all the work. I think this helped as I im

I'm an Australian working in the US on an E3 visa. The ease of getting an E3 was definitely an advantage for me. I recently joined a startup and did all the leg-work myself, without a lawyer. The only thing the company needed to do was fill

Just get a gaming mouse. They're exactly what you want (sturdy, comfortable and reliable) so don't be put off by a high DPI - you can always reduce the sensitivity. I like the Logitech G9 or MX518. The latter is $35 at Newegg and you can re
