CTO at Markforged here. If you can't work it out with your employer hit us up. We're hiring remote software engineers. We'll ship you a printer so you can dev from home. Good luck! Like a lot of other commenters have posted - you have options.

Apparently they can't update the status page because of the outage. This happened a few years ago with the massive s3 outage.
dbenny commented on Show HN: Gomp – a tool for comparing Git branches   github.com/MarkForged/GOM... · Posted by u/philipkiely

I wanted to like this tool, but it seems a bit unpolished still. Apparently it doesn't support 3.6 at all, I just got a backtrace about an extra parameter to some subprocess call. Figuring it was a version issue I switched to 3.8, which got past that, but then when I tried to compare 2 branches that I hadn't checked out locally yet I got a different traceback, ending in:

File "/home/lol/.pyenv/versions/3.8.3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gomp/gomp.py", line 132, in find_first_common_hash if source_commit[i][0] == _hash: IndexError: list index out of range

Then, after checking out those 2 branches, I got the table but the commit msgs were cut off from the front, here's an example:

874464e s bug

There's obviously something before that s.

This isn't a support forum obviously, but just something to be aware of.

I was interested in this because we have the issue of trying to figure out the new commits between releases. We have a branch with cherry-picks per release, and so enumerating new commits between these 2 branches isn't straightforward or even necessarily well defined.

it looks like some pull request/issues have been filed already so hopefully these get smoothed out soon.

Markforged | Full-Stack Software Engineer (or frontend/backend) | Boston, MA | Onsite | Full-time or college intern | $100K+ and equity We broke ground in 2014 with the world's first continuous carbon fiber 3D printer, and last year with the world's first sub-$100K metal printer. Our products are impeccably engineered and customers love us for it — our $70K printer has an NPS score of 85.

We have < 10 software engineers and are looking for a few more.

Our software stack:

* Webapp - Express.js / AWS backend, AngularJS / WebGL frontend, Electron for optional desktop client, all sanely-linted CoffeeScript

* Computational geometry engine for part slicing - Written from scratch in CoffeeScript and C++. Runs on EC2, in-browser, or on desktop client

* Printer touchscreen application - Node Webkit / AngularJS + Python -> migrating to Electron / VueJS + Python, all on top of a custom Debian image on a BeagleBone

* Printer firmware - embedded C on a custom board

Our team is all super full-stack. We generally distribute software tasks based on individual interest. As our nth software engineer, you will have tons of project ownership. Your ideas will influence the company's direction. You will do interdisciplinary work on physical systems and learn from best-of-the-best engineers across MatSci, Mech-E, EE, and SW, mostly MIT grads.

To succeed here, you need to be a quick learner and have a passion for software engineering. You don't need prior experience with 3D printing or our software stack, you can pick up those skills on the job.

You can email me directly david@ or apply online
