I've started responding to recruiters with this list of requirements

Company Requirements

I'm definitely not looking for work. However to provide some helpful guidance for hiring like-minded engineers, I would only consider working for a company if it met these requirements:

  1. Fewer than 250 employees.
  2. Concrete, measurable plan to increase the number of women and minorities in engineering roles.
  3. Commitment to using and contributing to open source.
  4. Collaborative, friendly atmosphere where pair programming is encouraged.
  5. Meaningful work with clear linkage between work and company goals.
  6. Demonstrated commitment to ethical business practices, e.g. B corp certification.

Safety is defined as "the ability for individuals to act without fear of unintended consequences". How should we improve how we build systems to make them safer?

dougireton / Heirloom tomato margarita recipe
Created August 27, 2015 18:10
Heirloom tomato margarita recipe
Margarita “mix”
--------------------
5 limes, juiced
1 lemon, juiced
¾ cup simple syrup
1 heirloom tomato
½ local peach (optional)
1. Make simple syrup by heating ¾ cup sugar and ¾ water and whisking until the sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool a bit.
2. Juice the limes and lemon. Reserve one lime half to run around the rim of each glass so the salt sticks to the rim.
