Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

#How you get Sail.js running on Openshift#

This instruction is tested with:

• Sails.js v0.9.16
• Node.js 0.10 on Openshift ( 05 May 2014)

###1) package.json

If you use the package.json build by sails new Projectname than you have to add a few fields for openshift – so the server can start you app automatically. Sails uses Grunt to build minify css/js and so on. Openshift dont have grunt installed so you have to add this also.

A while back I made a quick AngularJS directive for Bootstrap 3 Tooltips. I wanted to be able to specify tooltips on any element like this:

<button title="Settings" data-placement="bottom" data-delay="500"
data-toggle="tooltip"><i class="icon ion-gear"></i></button>

But I wanted to be able to do it without having to call $([data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip() every time I loaded a new page with tooltips, which is what you'd have to do if you were using vanilla jQuery and Bootstrap without something like Angular.

I built a really simple directive that worked perfectly, and I realized this was a perfect example of creating a simple custom directive that makes your life so much easier.
