Yeah this is something I want to learn more about for sure and is the weakest part of this piece. What have you found that works for you? Or is just that knowing that you’ll get interrupted will force better discipline?

Definitely agree with your assessment. That’s the feeling I wanted to convey at the end. The goal is to make people aware it’s not their fault but they have some things they can try to make things better for them.

Felt | Growth Product Manager | Oakland, CA | Full Time | https://felt.com

Felt is building a cloud-based geographic information systems (GIS) solution and have hundreds of customers already using it to run their operations, processing terabytes of data. Our team hails from Uber, Google, Meta, CARTO, Mapbox, The New York Times and a few others. If you have used online maps in the past few years, you have used their work. My co-founder and CEO, Sam, is a former YC founder who sold his previous company [1] and I'm an early Uber engineer.

For the first time, we are hiring a product manager that is going to be focused on our growth funnels within our service. This person will own the onboarding journey and help those first-time customers become loyal users. This role comes at a special time where we have launched a brand new version of our SDKs and APIs where customers, especially in large enterprises, can fully integrate Felt into their own tooling [2]

Ideal candidates will have 4+ years of experience focus on growth and onboarding within B2B SaaS and/or PLG companies. They will have a proven track record, own metrics such as time to value, be comfortable owning touchpoints, and designing and running experiments.

As mentioned, this role is the first product role at our fast growing company and will have strong leadership potential. You'll be joining a team that's build groundbreaking tools before, and is on the cusp of doing it again.

We are well-funded with a long runway and a strong revenue funnel already. You can read more about it our first funding here [3], and our announcement here [4]. Our terms are employee-friendly terms such as early exercise, a 10-year exercise window and even a matching 401(k).[5]

If you are interested, please reach out via hello@felt.com and mention HN and the role you are applying to. This role is based in SF Bay Area, in our Oakland office that's right next to the BART station. [6]

My experience suggests the opposite; the city was an upwards trajectory until 2018 or so but it's taken a turn for the worse since.

I lived in SF from 2009 to 2024. Every part of the city has gotten worse. When I moved, parts of Mission were definitely rough and they've cleaned up quite a bit. Even SoMa became somewhat interesting, as much as area like that could have before Covid.

We are on the lookout for three roles!

First is an infrastructure focused engineer. This role involves shaping cloud infrastructure and APIs to ensure platform scalability and security. Ideal candidates are experts in major cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure), skilled in designing user-friendly public APIs, and experienced in leading teams to make strategic architectural decisions. They should be proficient in modern approaches like Kubernetes, serverless computing, and IaaC (via CDK) to optimize deployments for performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.

Our team makes geospatial datasets a breeze to work with and we are currently building our next-generation of our data stack on AWS. The team you'll be joining is full of expert engineers, and well known people in the Elixir community. You might have used their work already.

Our third role is an social media and community representative. We are creating a new category of tooling in a giant industry and we need your help to tell the story. The ideal candidate will have experience building a community around a grand vision, while being grounded in our customers' successes and our team's ability to ship.

Hi there! I’m the founder of felt.com. Obviously, I am biased but I do work in this industry for the reasons you mentioned.

I can't speak for Tyler (the author) but as someone who's worked with him and managed him for over 2 years, I'd say take Tyler at his word versus assigning malice to his writing.

He's a powerhouse of a developer, loves, LOVES the ecosystem and has always wanted to give back as much as he could. He's submitted patches to the core, he did so much for our Elixir CI and felt bad not giving it back via open-sourcing it and then blogging on our platform.

Tyler was instrumental in many of our technical decisions at our company, and I can confidently say nothing he made us buy was unnecessary, and he often worked very hard to save us the smallest bit of money.

Just my 2 cents!

Felt | Web App / Elixir Engineer | Oakland, CA or REMOTE (US timezones) | Full Time | https://felt.com

Felt is the best way to make maps on the internet. It's surprisingly hard to make a map today, and people in 15+ industries rely on them to do their jobs. Climate change and the resulting natural disasters are forcing even more people to become map-makers, and Felt is here to meet that need. It's the first easy-to-use collaborative mapping software, founded by a team of technologists with a proven track-record. My co-founder and CEO, Sam, is a former YC founder who sold his previous company [1] and I'm an early Uber engineer.

We are on the lookout for an exceptional Elixir engineer. Our application team builds what our end-users experience; a lightning fast and easy-to-use mapping tool that works in the browser. We are primarily using Elixir / Phoenix on the server side and have a spatially focused React on the frontend side. As an engineering manager, you'll be working with folks who are experts in their field [2], release more than 15+ a day [3], and aren't afraid to break new ground when necessary [4].

Our data team makes geospatial datasets a breeze to work with and we are currently building our next-generation of our data stack on AWS. The team you'll be joining is full of expert engineers, and well known people in the Elixir community. You might have used their work already.

We are well-funded and just raised our $15M Series A. You can read more about it our funding here [5], and our announcement here [6]. Our terms are employee-friendly terms such as early exercise, a 10-year exercise window and even a matching 401(k).[7]
