We've built a stock market for trading sneakers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5vE1MeMcbA. Looking for a strong node.js focused javascript engineer to take the lead on our web app who is also interested in getting their hands dirty building API services too. Position is in downtown Detroit.
Thanks for sharing that link. It's interesting to see what people come up with. It's also a space that I think not many of us startup types are familiar with, if what people were wearing to Startup School was any indication.
...though Kohana 'suggests' some good practices, it doesn't force anything. So its still possible to work on a project where a lot of the 'wtf' php allows to happen still come up, albeit just inside a more sensible way of organizing things. The good intentions of your fellow developer still dictate the wtfs-per-minute..
i've heard about this practice of traders "front running" a client's large trades to that will move the market quite a few times, and the story is almost always followed by something like "and now he's run off to {insert somehwere low-key and nice} and bought a boat"
