Searching for React Developers

My friend got an insanely awesome job offer - the employer was looking for someone with 6+ years of React.js experience. They must be doing some really advanced things there.

Member Services Associate Role

We’re looking for a bright, customer service-focused individual to join our team as a Member Services Associate. We need someone who’s quick on their feet and loves working with people – a people-person, if you will. Someone who can jump right into this fast-paced, non-stop e-commerce environment and contribute their passion and experience to the role.

Speaking of which, here’s more of what you’ll be doing:

• Delivering amazing member support via phone and email

• Expertly handling questions about orders, shipments, general inquires, etc.

• Working directly with shipping managers to coordinate and execute orders and delivery requests

• Creating email templates to efficiently reduce response time for tickets and returns

• Building a positive relationship with our members and ensure they have the best possible experience

• Having fun!

In case you’re skeptical – because who wouldn’t be, this sounds too good to be true, right? Wrong!

You’ll be working alongside some of the most brilliant, passionate people in Philadelphia who love what they do. You see, for us, giving 100% is pretty much a given, but then again, it’s not that hard to do when you’re surrounded by cool people, and wine. Oh yeah, did we mention there’s wine? Well there is. That’s what we do, we’re wine people.

And in no time, you will be too. You’ll become familiar with winery regions, grapes, styles of wine and the stories/details of wines that are being offered – basically, you’ll be an expert. A wine expert.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, work isn’t only about having fun and drinking wine (although that is a big part), it’s also about contributing your best efforts to the team and to our clients. So if you’ve got the following skills, we may be the perfect fit:

• A passion for what you do

• Strong communication skills – both written and verbal

• Attention to detail, critical thinking skills, and dependable follow through

• You’re positive and proactive – and you’re not afraid to show it!

• You’re a quick thinker, a problem-solver

• And experience with e-commerce is a plus (a big plus!)

Now, if any of these things sound like you, or something you might be interested in doing, then go for it and apply, after all, what do you have to lose? Plus, don’t forget there’s wine, lots and lots of wine.

Philly’s Tech Scene Getting National Recognition. Following the second annual week filled with 80 events around town with the goal of bettering the city of Philadelphia with technology (better known as Philly Tech Week), Philadelphia is now getting some national press about its future as a tech hub.

In a story from Fast Company (part of their United States of Innovation series) titled “Philadelphia Sets Sights On Becoming America’s Next Big Tech Town,” Shane Snow talks to Technically Philly’s Sean Blanda (one of the guys behind Philly Tech Week, along with Brian James Kirk and The20’s @christopherwink ) and others about the burgeoning scene popping up right here in The City of Brotherly Love. Writes Snow:

“As the costs of starting a web-based company–including the cost and difficulty of software development–have sunk since Web 2.0, university-rife cities like Philadelphia are witnessing a boom in startups. And for perhaps the first time in decades, young people are starting to actually migrate to Philadelphia as a destination.”

The article talks about Technically Philly, but also gets into some local companies (InviteMedia, MyYearbook.com, DuckDuckGo and more), the large number of young people (many fresh out of some of our great universities) who are trying and doing new things. It also mentions why staying true to Philly’s core business benefits is important (hence the pharma trend).

“What places like Philly… where startups are happening but aren’t ‘startup towns’ need to think about is, ‘What else are we great at?’ And build startups around it,” says Phin Barnes, a principal at First Round Capital, who frequently moves from Philadelphia to capture opportunities in New York. “Philly has lots of pharma, so it makes sense to build a startup community around pharma and biotech. Startups are so competitive, you have to take every advantage you can.“

What do you think: does Philly have real potential as a tech hub in the future?

“Philly is the greatest city in the country,” Blanda says. “This city is real life. It has real problems and real people, which give us all a tremendous opportunity to make a dent.”

Uncle Bob:

The center of your application is not the database. Nor is it one or more of the frameworks you may be using. The center of your application are the use cases of your application. […] If you get the database involved early, then it will warp your design. It’ll fight to gain control of the center, and once there it will hold onto the center like a scruffy terrier. You have to work hard to keep the database out of the center of your systems. You have to continuously say “No” to the temptation to get the database working early.
