Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes seem to have been the theme of the week.  Facebook announced a shake up in its advertising efforts, there were continued arguments over the design of iOS 7 and Google revealed details of its top secret balloon project. With everything moving ahead at such rapid speed, it was nice of Foursquare to give us a chance to have a sit down and take a look back. After all, everyone loves a good time machine.

Vasudha Agnihotri – HR Manager, Windchimes Communications

Life is hectic, let’s make things easy

I have a very busy role as a Human Resources Manager at Windchimes Communications, a Mumbai-based social media agency. I take care of all the human resources related activities, from talent acquisition all the way through to exit formalities, so I am definitely a fan of anything that saves time.

While surfing through social media platforms about six months ago, I discovered SkillPages. The platform is perfect, exactly what I had been looking for. I got a great response from my first job post. Now, I always turn to SkillPages when we need a new hire.

If you’re serious about product quality, there’s one thing that is immensely helpful: looking at your errors.

Analysing your errors, just like reviewing customer feedback or watching how someone uses your application, is a humbling exercise. Seeing how many scenarios you missed and assumptions you got wrong has a very sobering effect.

At SkillPages we believe this “introspective” look is a necessary step on the way to an amazing product and we concentrate our efforts accordingly.

We aim to present an engineer with all of the information needed to identify and solve the problem. We prefer to let people spend their precious time thinking about the solutions and leave the mundane details to the machines.

Overview

Our error tracing system consists of a few components that work together to collect, distil and present error tracing information.

The government is watching us. Or at least listening to us and keeping an eye on our internet use. There is no point frantically trying to delete your web browser history. They already know. Yes, even about THAT site you visited ‘by accident’. While you worry about what kind of pages you have frequented and who exactly you’ve called, here’s a round-up of the latest technology news.

Remember that old episode of The Simpsons, where Chief Wiggum is told “If you’ve ever handled a penny, the government’s got your DNA. Why do you think they keep ‘em in circulation?” Well it turns out The Simpsons are right, the US government is watching you. PRISM, a top secret system at the National Security Agency, collects emails, documents, photos and other materials for agents to use. link

I did not have data relations with that government, say Google, Apple and Facebook. link
