It's a big deal for the many affected people

I think you mean: "Has relevant industry knowledge

Well that too

This is simply insolvency, not fractional reserve.

oftentimes I'm rewriting existing chunks of code to incorporate the new features because I chose a certain structure that no longer makes sense.

You're doing it right.

the client usually doesn't know what comes next until they need it.

Do you know what comes next? If not then designing for requirements that may not exist is likely to take your code in the wrong direction.

The original comment was completely unacceptable.

Stock price dropping over 8% today is one metric.

It seems unlikely that someone would even be tested after being hit by a truck, or that a doctor would choose to list it as a cause of death.

Do you really expect to hire a good developer with experience for £28k in London?

there’s nothing about software development that requires meatspace interactions

This is a big claim that is not true in my experience. Dealing with highly ambiguous situations, talking people out of bad ideas and learning through collaboration works much better in person.

That's more or less what happens at the end of Battlestar Galactica (syfy version).

Is this a wise comment to make, given that your profile displays your personal details and work history?

Can someone provide a lay-person's explanation of the issue and its implications?

I like the double entendre in the title.

How should they contact you?

I'd imagine it would be very hard to switch to that kind of model after all this time. Wouldn't guaranteeing a permanent level of support would likely involve hiring people and having to bring in enough to support them too?

It might not be that hard if you're motivated and have that vision, but I can completely understand someone not wanting the added pressure after all this time.

The performance of a "for loop" is usually dog slow (some special cases were optimized recently). You often spend hours figuring out how to vectorize your code so it runs decently fast.

A similar story for Python and NumPy on this point, mitigated by NumPy's elegant broadcasting rules. Agree with everything else!

"...plans to cut the sales of sugary drinks sold in hospitals"

Since the article doesn't define the acronym and I had to look it up:

SPA means Single Page Application.

The term is written in the third paragraph, but not clearly connected to the acronym.

What happens when the value of equity grants plummets?

Hi, sorry I didn't reply yesterday.

Basically, what @okey said. Your company looks really cool, but financial security is a much stronger motivator for most people in the long term.

Look at what other people are offering in this thread, on Glassdoor, on angel.co and similar. I've never heard of a developer being paid £20k in London and I'd worry about working at a place that hired people at that rate.

You might be able to get someone fresh out of undergrad for £25k for your front-end role, but not a developer with proven skills. You might find a developer wanting to try out your lead role for £55-65k, but not someone who's already shown they can perform that role successfully.

Maybe you will get lucky and find the right people, but it's a gamble and any good people you find will probably not stay long. Anyway, I wish you luck despite my naysaying.

Do you honestly think you'll find competent developers for the money you're offering?

Writers! Please don't use "exponentially", which has a precise meaning, in place of a more modest word such as "greatly".

"China buying and building An-225s would exponentially increase its power capabilities not just in Asia, but across the world."

Out of interest, what do you think their real goals are? (I agree with the sentiment of your comments FWIW)

Bear in mind the kind of people you want to hire for a lead engineer role are unlikely to apply in the first place, on the off-chance that you'll make them an offer significantly above the advertised range.

Anyway, best of luck - anything to improve the rental situation in London is very welcome!

You won't find anyone worth their salt for such an important role in an early stage company starting at £30k.

Probably not at £55k either.
