"Commitments", not "git commits". For revenue teams, this could be signing a contract, scheduling a certain number of meetings, drafting a blog post, etc. Similar parallels for any team within a company. The key is being able to break larger projects into manageable weekly commitments that are specific and measurable.


Did you use the word in error or is this another example of the trend of start-ups using verbs to replace nouns?


I so agree with the ridiculousness of this behavior. When people talk of an "ask" meaning "request" i cringe at the embarrassment of their need to be jargon-cool rather than individuals.


Awesome, thank you

Thanks so much for the info! I will be sure to get in touch once I get a bit more acquainted with my role!


I've been looking into a program like Dev Bootcamp as well, what do you mean sponsored?


I've heard that companies will sometimes pay candidates they know/like to go to one of these programs to learn to code. Seems a bit risky, but I'd like to hear whether someone has had success doing something like this.


totally agreed, gets me every time


Welcome to HN, I am new here myself, good to see I am not alone!


I'll be sure to go back through and clean up my code, the site should however be displaying 0 if yesterday at this same time it was also, 73 degrees F, does this seem correct?


no, definitely a bug


No it's not a bug. I had to read it twice. For me it says 10°F warmer and a bit windier than this time yesterday. It's also way clearer than yesterday and it'll be warmer an hour from now. The keyword in that is warmer. So if the temperature is the same as it was a day prior, it would be 0.

Very nice project by the way.


Of course, up until now my experience has been something along the lines of... first I completed Chris Pines learn to program and all of the exercises on Codeacademy. Next, I read the book, Beginning Ruby from Novice to Professional and completed some other online exercises such as the Ruby Monk problems. Most of the preparation I was doing at the time was to get ready for my interview to App Academy so, I also completed their prepwork which consisted of some TDD problems and an event planner from Jumpstart Labs.

Unfortunately I didn't do so great in the interview for App Academy and was rejected, which was last week, however following my interview I decided I would just set my mind to actually trying to build something to begin the process of teaching myself!

Hope this helps


Here's a link to that prepwork if you're interested

I'll check into that background issue, I think the locations are off for some people because it's just checking their IP? I was hoping to include the option for people the just manually search locations in the next iteration. Thanks for the feedback though!


Really loving the design here, it's truly beautiful
