Come work for us.

It pays better than Starbucks, we promise.

Synapse Studios is a fun, small-but-growing web application development firm looking for engaging and intelligent (and occasionally funny) additions to our staff.

We are currently managing the development of custom web applications for several enterprise-level projects in use by medium- to large-sized corporations. We are looking for people with whom we can establish a long term relationship, the kind of person that gets a thrill out of exhibiting their creative tendencies and doing so on the cutting edge of technology.

Current Openings:

Is PHP 5.3 Terminal? Well, It's Getting One For Namespaces

A language lives and dies by how easy it is for a person to express something within that language. But the ease in expression is much like the type I and type II error rate in a statistical test: as you adjust one to be nearer to where you want it to be, the other gets farther away. So the architects of a language have to choose between adding more keywords and constructs or having longer, but simpler sequences of existing ones.

PHP is a very easy language to learn and use because it has a syntax that is a simplified sampling from C++/Java and Perl. People who use these languages pick up PHP fast, and people who haven't used any languages often learn PHP with as much ease as they would learn Perl.
