I know this is what the leaderboards say, but empirically, I'm also seeing it make silly mistakes that opus and fable never do. So it really feels more like sonnet to me as well.

AveryIQ (YC W24) | Staff Software Engineer | Remote | Full-time

AveryIQ is a full-stack property management platform competing against Appfolio, Yardi, Entrata. We think property management is a domain that is underserved by AI currently, and has so much potential for improving the experience for both tenants and landlords alike. This is a multidisciplinary domain, touching everything from payments and accounting to computer vision and complex workflows.

What we're looking for:

- Strong product design sense and a drive to see features built end-to-end with little guidance in a remote environment

- Experience with building robust systems, fully tested and reliable. (We move hundreds of thousands of dollars per month and cannot afford to make mistakes)

Tech stack: Bun/Hono, TypeScript, NextJS, React Native mobile app.

Open role highlights:

- Full stack engineer works across front-end, back-end, mobile.

If you're interested in joining our team, please reach out to info at averyiq.com with a 1 minute video introducing yourself and talk about any familiarity you have with the real estate domain. You can also send a resume, but under no circumstances send any AI-generated content. It will be immediately deleted. Anybody that takes time to send a video will get a response.

I'd like to start or contribute to a philanthropic effort to see the pickup truck and SUV arms race fought somehow. I think the strongest avenue, at least in the USA, would be better litigation and direct criminal responsibility for those that own them and are negligent in their operation (cell-phone use, speeding, illegal lift-kits, etc).

Does anybody know of such a nonprofit or organization that is currently making meaningful progress here that I can contribute to?

Libraries around me have just become a homeless shelter. Pretty sad because the buildings themselves are actually quite nice and I'd use them often if it weren't for the high likelihood of being harassed.

“We can’t determine which of our users is a US citizen”

Logical next move — “we’re requiring ID.gov identity verification to use our services”

It’s all about spying on users, Don’t let anybody kid you into thinking it’s anything else

I got sick of answering the same property management questions over and over again for my rental properties, and am finally building a modern, fully-fledged property management system, AveryIQ - https://averyiq.com

Appfolio, TurboTenant, Innago, etc. are just an extra chore, they don't actually help you do the work. AveryIQ is an extension of your communication channels - it handles everything from email, SMS, and voice calls. The idea is that you could go on vacation for a month and a moderately-sized long term rental portfolio could run itself. You get texted once a week for the important decisions (work order vendor bid approvals, lease signatures, etc.)

Well, he definitely taught me what not to do

Congrats on the launch! What kind of models can you run on the device?

+1 - anybody happen to have a fork?

This is awesome! Been waiting for something like this to replace the bloated SDK Amazon provides. Important question— is there a pathway to getting signed URLs?

Have been a proud better auth user for the last 6 months! Loved it so far, especially the fact that it's FOSS. Now that it's a venture-funded YC company, I am worried about using it. Should I be?

We're entering the age where having private, personal space is becoming almost impossible. If you have a conversation around your phone, you best believe that government actors can tap that mic. If you have a conversation at home, either your "smart" TV, fridge, or Google Home / Alexa is listening. Now, cars are just becoming tablets on wheels.

In my Tesla, I am quite literally, being watched every time I drive. There is a tiny camera behind the rearview mirror. I have to assume that my vehicle will collect data that could be used against me in court. It's a weird shift, going from a completely analog & disconnected vehicle now to an internet-connected tracking device. You truly think about every move -- e.g. "Gee, I hope my insurance company doesn't misinterpret this 'hard braking event' as me being an irresponsible driver."

I built www.letselectrify.org as a side project to make it easier for people in multifamily buildings (condos, apartments, and HOAs) to get their own dedicated EV chargers.

In multifamily buildings, such as my 85-unit condo, there isn’t any at-home charging. At best, there is one shared charger for the community to use.

This sucks for several reasons: 1. You have to remember to move your car when it’s done charging, 2. The HOA is stuck paying the bill for all the electricity, and 3. As more and more people get electric cars, shared chargers don’t scale.

The most common Homeowner Association (HOA) objections to adding more charging: 1. It costs too much, and 2. Nobody wants this.

HOAs are generally risk-averse and don’t want to spend money on discretionary things like EV charging. This means that the only way for residents to conveniently own an electric car is to pay out of pocket (sometimes up to $20k) to install a single charger, which usually also requires the HOA to approve on a case-by-case basis.

Instead of all these one-off installs, letselectrify.org combines everyone that wants a charger into one campaign and lets them split the cost of installation, which ends up being much cheaper.

Also, we pay for IP Transit and dark fiber between the data center and our point of presence.

IP noob here- can someone explain what this means?

Simple but effective tool! The documentation looks great. Thanks for open sourcing it

one annoying one that's notably missing: There's no way to get rid of the Music.app, and the play/pause hardware button on my M2 macbook is always mapped to that app.

I inadvertently press this button all the time and it launches Music.app, taking about 1/4th of the 8gb of shared memory

agree, it seems inefficient. I have friends that use YouTube as their main music subscription platform though. With YouTube premium I think you can close out of the app and still have it play music. I would hope that YouTube is smart enough to not buffer video when you're out of the app for long enough.

I'd love to know how long it takes him to make each one of these "interactive essays"

Our current plan is Plug & Charge (via ISO 15118 as well as a fallback to our NFC cable) and Tap to Pay as a backup in case you haven't set up a payment method on your vehicle.

Tap & Pay (Apple Pay, etc) are a great backup option -- and Starlight will implement those, but the primary modality of payment should require no user input. That's what we are hoping to accomplish. It's especially important when you are plugging in every night. Fiddling with your wallet or phone (battery dead??) is just one extra step that ultimately is not necessary if we are to design a system at scale.

This is true. Apple Pay has been something we're keen on adding

Imagine if you had to pull out your credit card every time you wanted to charge your phone at night. This is how most EV drivers charge, so the paradigm for charging an EV is totally different than filling up at a pump.

I got frustrated with dealing with all these charger manufacturer's lousy apps, and that's what led Starlight to focus on building a seamless plug-and-charge experience. No apps required, just plug it in and go.

This is helpful. Generally the customers that land on our website are people who are researching which EV charging solution to install in their apartment complex, so I assumed that they already knew the term. But I guess it's helpful to spell it out.

Not a bad idea. We are looking into this. One issue is that the vendors for these keyfobs are super fragmented -- even more so than Plug & Charge adoption.

Yes, to your point the Plug & Charge mechanism is just for authentication. Through our integrations with Yardi, Buildium, etc. payment can just be taken out of rent or tacked onto the sub-metered utility bill.

This is exactly it. My dad almost missed some of my sister's wedding fiddling with the same type of crappy UX on a no-name charger.

Glad my high school Latin classes came in useful for something.

Not a bad idea. Will look into it!

Also, why in god’s name would I have authentication on my home charger?

Not everyone in the US lives in a single family home
