I have a lot of people at Hacker Hours ask about where to look for jobs - here are some places I recommend.

Boards

AngelList (startups)
Authentic Jobs
Craigslist (mostly freelance)
Digital DUMBO (NYC-specific)
Github
Idealist (social good)

Projects

Matt Walters - mockrequire
Leon Stankowski - monty
Costa Michailidis - payopal
Haris Amin - kyatchi (Paypal API wrapper)
Matt Walters - coinbase API wrapper
Matt Walters - forecast.io API wrapper
Sohel S - dropweb

A friend is looking for a new tech job and asked if I knew anyone at a handful of companies. I'm (meaningfully) connected to more people who are relevant to this on Twitter than LinkedIn, so figured it would be easiest to scour people's bios. Naturally, I did this in the nerdiest way possible and automated it.

This is a talk about getting your page to load for visitors...fast. We will cover: streaming, prefetching, script loading techniques, data bootstrapping, caching, and more. We'll look at some real-world examples, and do some live demos to see just how big an impact these considerations can make.
