We are looking for our first technical hire - a senior software engineer to come and join us on our journey. We've a lot done via development partners but to take us to the next level we are in-housing our development efforts. We're looking for someone with full stack web/backend experience who wants to join a company as an early employee where their contributions will have a large impact. We offer a friendly, flexible and hands-on collaborative environment with autonomy to get shit done. We will consider both onsite and remote working and even short term (3 months+) contracts - so if you're interested, please get in touch at jobs/@/cloudcards.ie or via my profile.
Yeah probably. Seems it was mostly BASIC + asm for that age range. Rock on GWBasic! It's probably where you learnt to use your first GOTO like a billion times :)
A good point and they're making things simpler in the process - here's the product, it's $35 and this is what it does - no more messages, reminders about a pro version and removal of timebombs. Plus future versions will probably get even more serious features because they can justify it commercially with invested time vs income.
Me too. then I discovered you could call interrupts in quickbasic and you could inject hand rolled ASM and execute it so upgraded to 4.5 and never looked back. rapid prototyping in DOS :)
Where's Assembler in the list :) I loved me some MASM. Did no one learn this in the late 80's early 90's? It must still be used a lot for embedded systems ...
What I liked about it was a) it was hard and made you really really think about what you where doing (in terms of memory and CPU usage) as you where in total control of both at all times and there was often no abstraction (well unless you wrote in binary I suppose). b) it was super tedious and required keeping a lot of code in your head at one time so when moving to say C/C++ it made you review your code with some sympathy of how it will run and how to optimise it (say rolled and unrolled loops etc). When things went wrong in C you could look at the produced ASM and understand perhaps why.
I would also have voted for assembler if it was on the list, since that's actually the first language I ever used. (On a Magnavox Oddessey 2 game console, no less). I did choose BASIC, because that's the first language that I first successfully used. :)
oh the memories! I just voted for BASIC (having self learned BBC Basic using school computers after school). Your post reminded me that I actually first started to learn to program asm on an ORIC 16k.
Yes, I voted for BASIC too but ASM was what I first messed around in on an Amstrad 512k using the manual that it came with. Remember when manuals had pin outs of all the ports and sometimes circuit digrams and included a reference manual of the CPU instruction set and sample programs?? Oh those where the days =)
+1 for redmine. Had it installed on Windows 2003 server and used its superb built in migration tools to go from mantisbt. Used it for about 18months and its actively maintained. Great for multiple projects and provides a simple UI. Its integration scripts with Subversion, GIT etc are also excellent.
Thanks for the link to angellist - something I aspire to join but as I said in my post, you have to be approved to get listed and one of the requirements is you're not a newbie - you must have connections to other angels - in fact you must be referred by another angellist angel and have invested at least 3 times before. This was revealed in this great interview with one of the angel.co founders: http://www.danielodio.com/2010/10/21/fundraising-hacks-inter...
I'm in a very similar position - done an exit, taking some time off, have some money to invest.
I have yet to find a group that doesn't advertise that they need experience. I would guess that some of them would bend this rule if you got in touch and networked with them and their current members and they decided you were of sufficient quality to be allowed into the club.
We should start a 'newbie angels' group where we kick you out after you've done 3 investments!
