Thanks for pointing this out! I'll have this updated. We're remote within US timezones.

feel free to have them reach out for feedback about why we passed on them, I offer that to anyone who asks. we have taken screens with new grads and folks with less than 2 years of professional experience from this job posting already so I assure you that line is accurate.

Stealth Healthcare Startup (Seed lead by Sequoia, Series A lead by Khosla Ventures) | Full-Stack Engineer | Full-time | Remote (US Timezones)

Our mission is to redefine care for the most vulnerable. The healthcare system is failing the underserved. It's a struggle to find care, to afford care, and to receive quality care. We are a company currently in stealth mode that is transforming the healthcare experience for low-income families through purpose-built, thoughtful technology.

We are a Series A startup and funded by world-class investors. We are led by a founder who grew up on Medicaid (public insurance) and personally knows the desperation of not being able to afford medically-necessary care.

Here, we believe that anything can be achieved through pure will, determination, and grit. We value builders with a similar mindset. We have grown to 8 figures in ARR in one year and are looking for more team members to keep the momentum going!

Our team is remote-first + we have an office in SF that serves as a hub for several team members.

Our stack is Python + Next.js React

Our JD is tagged as "senior" but we are happy to talk to folks who are earlier in their career as well.

I think this is a really good idea. Just imagine being able to open source rulesets and cards and being able to load them into your deck on a moments notice, and your friends being able to do the same. I hope that you make this work, I would easily pay 200$ for a deck if there were a few games to choose from and a platform to build my own rulesets and cards and load them into the physical cards.

The selective pressures of your model reward dishonesty (under promise over deliver / make estimates as high as possible to mitigate downside and reduce pressure). Why is that making your team better?

I try to cut it early to stop wasting time, especially if its a small company and you will likely be working with that person. I had to do this twice out of 5 companies I interviewed at from YC a couple years back.

Happy to see this, congrats to Mitch!

It was bad faith of DHH to say that posting the pyramid was meant to compare the list of names to genocide. The good faith interpretation would make it extremely clear that the employee was comparing the list of names to the lowest rung in the pyramid AKA the farthest removed from genocide. That rung is simply called "biased attitudes" and includes a wide span of things, none of them remotely comparable to genocide and several of them could be used to accurately represent the list. Eg. "Fear of differences", "Stereotypes", "Justifying biases by seeking out like minded people"

I don't really understand how or why DHH would construe that as "you're comparing a list of company names to genocide"

This is completely constructed in your mind. If you tried this vs any woman rated 100 points higher than you or more, this would be a death sentence. It has nothing to do with gender.

Avoiding the objectively best move just means you're making inaccuracies and blunders, giving the game away for free. Nobody above 1200 rating is going to be "afraid of their position" that is not a thing. Below 1200 rating, there may be people like that due to inexperience, but it would be across both genders IF it existed at all which I'm completely unconvinced of.

a couple of nuances make the remaining 3% a bit more difficult to get, two that I noticed is that the bot is bad at holding sustain notes and also tends to make mistakes during long hammer-on sections because it hits two notes at the same time instead of realizing that they are individual notes.

the second one is probably easy to fix by spreading the notes out a bit (hyperspeed mode) but the first one is a bit more annoying to program, probably

This will change the world completely. I didn't anticipate seeing anything like this in my lifetime

If you ever want a very real anxiety attack drink half of a redline without any caffeine tolerance. If you want to die, drink an entire redline.

I tried it once in college and it blew my mind that something like that was available off the shelf.

yes! Jetbrains GoLand helps quite a bit with the more annoying parts of the language (GOPATH, remembering commands for tools, managing go modules, etc)

There are some small things about the language that can feel a little cumbersome (lack of generics for example) but largely happy with the language and the trade offs so far seem worth it.

I can't meet my deadlines otherwise.

working for free to meet deadlines is more a problem with the deadline than it is with your working additional hours

beautiful stuff, vocals are great and remind me a bit of young the giant's vocals, but over a totally different style of music. really enjoyed the listen!

some improvisation over looped chords on guitar I shared with some friends last week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivdpYQlC6kM

I'm 1200 rating on chess.com and I lost the first game and won the second, the estimated rating of 1225 I've seen on other comments felt about accurate to me as well

I'm excited for runewords :)

happy to see this on the front page, congrats colin and braden! I signed up for a dev account last month, definitely will be using this for projects in the future.

HFTs were printing money throughout this entire ordeal due to volatility and inefficient trades

hmm this is odd, isn't this the same as one of the many full stack boilerplate open source repositories [0][1][2][3] except closed source and 25$?

I thought this might be the case as well but at least for CFCs the lifespan without replenishment from human pollution is only about 140 years. so "a bit" for this particular circumstance is not very long at all in the eyes of the universe

I think that you might be right but it would be more conclusive as evidence than detecting just oxygen. CFCs are not something that occurs spontaneously in nature, so essentially if we did get a positive result it would be meaningful.

To your point getting strictly negative results would not necessarily mean anything one way or the other.

Sounds like the opposite of my current situation, luckily I'll be moving on soon to hopefully something more similar to your company.

but the sprint ends tomorrow and I'll get a bad performance review if my tickets fall over to the next sprint!!!

/s obviously but this is more real than it should be

"If the company thinks strategically, then no need for something like a 20% schedule. You should be empowered to make these decisions yourself... You are the expert."

I fundamentally agree with this approach and there are companies that do as well. What is the term that encapsulates this sort of culture? Is there one?

If there is one, is there a reliable / repeatable way to determine during the interview phases if the company you're interviewing with is this type of culture?

Generally as a senior dev part of your job description is to figure the details out. Not have them provided for you.

As a jr or early mid level you can expect to have the majority of the details ironed out and nicely laid out for you to work on, but someone at some point had to actually figure it out and put it in the ticket. Whether that is you or someone else likely depends on your level, the stage of the company, etc.
