I've met and knew Paul for a time while I was in high school. Despite my interest then with CS, at that time, I had no idea until now that he was the inventor of Haskell or was involved in Computer Science at all.

Independent to his contributions to the industry that I now love; I knew him as an extremely friendly and energetic person. He was well liked by all who came in contact with him and his absence will be wide felt.


Fellow Hamden High grad?

Carrot Creative - Brooklyn, NY

We're a creative agency with a lot of neat projects going on all the time. We're looking for a full-time and in-office developer with a good amount of Ruby/Rails experience. We've been bootstrapped and growing for almost 8 years now. Agency experience isn't a requirement, but a plus.

You're correct, the audience is really just a matter of semantics. The reason we wrote this post, knowing that this is very basic stuff, is that we found that a lot of the tutorials we'd come across didn't cover the introductory process end-to-end.

You're just as surprised as we are to see it on the frontpage!


Hey I'm curious as to what you mean by a purchase notification API?

Would you imagine something like a pub/sub system or something that you would ping?


I mean something like PayPal IPN or another system which notifies my server about a purchase so I can send digital good to buyer e-mail for example.


(I do product at CropUp.)

For digital goods, we'd handle the fulfillment for you. Goal is to make it dead simple and to provide everything you'd need, so you don't have to use any other services or do any coding.

Still, a server to server notification would be a good thing to have, no concrete plans or timing yet though.

Thanks for your feedback.


This may not be the most glamorous option, but my company is looking for a contract QA person. Someone we can hire on a project by project basis and QA our apps. The work might work for the 'nights' half of your schedule and offer a good amount of flexibility. Feel free to email me.


I'd love to email you for a sidebar discussion, but your email address isn't in your 'About' profile.
