With over ten years of experience as a full-stack engineer, I've worn all the hats (also as a founder), developed, and shipped several products end-to-end. I'd love to work with early-stage startups where I can bring my product mindset to my engineering work.

I have been working remotely throughout my career, can comfortably work in and provide overlap with US and EU timezones.

They do have this under tech specs:

Power source: 1 Lithium ion polymer rechargeable battery, AC adapter

Battery lifespan: Will last for approximately 500 cycles, 8 times/day measurements in normal temperatures of 77 °F (25 °C) when new battery fully charged

Battery life: A typical user can expect to charge HeartGuide approximately 2-3 times per week, depending upon the frequency of use of HeartGuide’s features

I did the same thing – I had an private cabin in a co-working space for some time and then moved out to a larger apartment with a dedicated office room. It's been working pretty well so far, although I have make sure I go out for workout and some tea every day to prevent myself from going insane.

I second this. This might be too much for this app but I'd really like to be able to track time manually for a project (like toggl.com) and then be able to see the overview for the project at once as opposed to overall view right now.

garkimasera's comment seems to be shadowbanned, so I'm re-posting his comment for visibility.

Ideally, I'd go to one of the top 4 departments: Stanford, MIT, Berkeley, CMU. Graduates of top universities with decent skills don't have a hard time finding jobs. I'll probably add Columbia and Harvard (middling departments, strong lay prestige) as (irony here) "safety schools". A quant fund isn't going to know the difference between a Harvard CS PhD and one from MIT (or might put Harvard higher).

Anything below the top 20 (and it's top 10 in the rest of STEM and top 1-2 in humanities) has to be purely for the education, though. You're right that a #40 PhD, while the educational program is probably fine, won't fix your career.

Also, the academic job market is terrible and that does not change if you have a PhD from an elite department. That's not what I'm aiming for.

Also that most of the people who buy their way into a government job are most probably incompetent. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy because the ones who themselves bought in their way using corruption are very much likely to repeat the same with others once they are in the government.

This sort of corruption is still running strong here in India. A few days ago an acquaintance of my father told him that he knows a guy who can get her daughter a government job for a fee of 8 lakhs (~$12,000). And that he would go for it, given he had this much money. The sentiment was that he treats this bribe as an investment, which can be recovered from the job salary in a couple years and is worth it.

I'd like to know more about this. When you buy domain validated SSL certificate (that costs $5-10) for which the process is completely automated, does the issuing authority really check or care about which domain it is being used on? Does a human (or a program) check the "suspicious factor" of the domain?

Then I suppose you consider medical advancements to be unnatural and thus bad too as compared to the natural course of letting the diseases just kill you and similarly modern form of communications bad as well over the traditional flapping of mouth flesh.
