What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

Docker Swarm Port Requirements, both Swarm Mode 1.12+ and Swarm Classic, plus AWS Security Group Style Tables

Docker Swarm Mode Ports

Starting with 1.12 in July 2016, Docker Swarm Mode is a built-in solution with built-in key/value store. Easier to get started, and fewer ports to configure.

Inbound Traffic for Swarm Management

  • TCP port 2377 for cluster management & raft sync communications
  • TCP and UDP port 7946 for "control plane" gossip discovery communication between all nodes
  • UDP port 4789 for "data plane" VXLAN overlay network traffic
  • IP Protocol 50 (ESP) if you plan on using overlay network with the encryption option

Setting Up Private GitHub Repos with Bundler on Heroku

To get a private GitHub repo to work on Heroku, you can leverage the netrc buildpack in conjunction with the Heroku Ruby buildpack.

When setting up the Gemfile, make sure to use the https GitHub URL. This mechanism does not work with git+ssh.

Uninstall nodejs from OSX Yosemite
# first:
lsbom -f -l -s -pf /var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.pkg.bom | while read f; do sudo rm /usr/local/${f}; done
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node /usr/local/lib/node_modules /var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.*
# To recap, the best way (I've found) to completely uninstall node + npm is to do the following:
# go to /usr/local/lib and delete any node and node_modules
cd /usr/local/lib
sudo rm -rf node*

15 Questions to Ask During a Ruby Interview

Originally published in June 2008

When hiring Ruby on Rails programmers, knowing the right questions to ask during an interview was a real challenge for me at first. In 30 minutes or less, it's difficult to get a solid read on a candidate's skill set without looking at code they've previously written. And in the corporate/enterprise world, I often don't have access to their previous work.

To ensure we hired competent ruby developers at my last job, I created a list of 15 ruby questions -- a ruby measuring stick if you will -- to select the cream of the crop that walked through our doors.

What to expect

Candidates will typically give you a range of responses based on their experience and personality. So it's up to you to decide the correctness of their answer.
