pinterest

From listicles, Pinterest boards, and even your Facebook feed, people use the internet to connect to different links and articles.

Pets.com and Webvan were pretty much failures from inception, but sites like Pinterest and Airbnb keep getting more successful and more valuable.

If Pinterest feels like it is missing out on an untapped candidate pool, it should figure out how to tap that pool.

The Python/Django course guides you through building a Yelp style app while the Rails and Swift courses build a Pinterest / Instagram clone.

I've frequently read that there is a shortage of tech workers, and companies like Pinterest have trouble finding the people they need.

For the long tasks, like the example for a Pinterest clone, you could have a tool/walkthrough/FAQ about how to break up large tasks in to manageable tasks?

I'm not sure if Pinterest posted this article with some other intent (like having more support programs), but in it's current state, it seems discriminatory.

If Pinterest feels like its hiring practice is not meritocratic, it should fix that.

The solution growing in popularity tries to deal with all of these by having a company organize a secondary offering, like what pinterest does (palantir does it too, twilio recently did, so do a bunch of companies).

I just looked at the page for the first time in ages and I'm surprised they don't even get the fundamentals right: tiny fonts, pinterest layout for text items, terrible line height and length.

I am assuming Pinterest already has an unbiased hiring bar.

Their approach seems like it will work, if it does, mostly by increasing the chances that women engineers or women engineering students will choose to work for Pinterest instead of work for someone else.

Just like all those people that wanted to start 'Pinterest for Men', when you could...just use Pinterest.

And those other examples like Pinterest, Instacart and Instagram are pretty silly too, don't people just use their browsers?

Blogging was decentralized -- FB, Pinterest, Twitter is a single source controlled by one corporate entity.
