my hat is off to you if you are able to sell all the 16 hours that you're awake every day to someone for 100$ each without dropping in productivity and maintaining mental well beeing.

And are you looking for a direct employment of someone from europe or a contractor agreement? it is my understanding that it's quite a bit of paperwork for US companies if they have no local branch in a memberstate of the european union.

i'm asking because it sounds interesting (and i'm german ;) ) and i'm looking for a new gig as a software developer right now.

Could you elaborate a little bit on the industry you are servicing and/or the specific problem domains?

also: where is the company located (i'm asking for tax, health insurance reasons etc.) ?

LoL is horrible compared to Dota2 in this regard. You cant play every hero and with added points you get addex abilities. Dota2 micro-transactions only pay for cosmetic items that you can (mostly) also get via trading with other players or as a drop after each finished game.

its probably not that he stopped playing with technology but that he stopped beein involved with technology that is marketed and sold and known.

not everybody craves the recognition and thus they might not sell/opensource everything they do. i for my part would be very content with my private metalworking/electronics(woodworking shop and just do stuff that I want/need just to scrap it eventually if i want to.

Besides the sexist nature of the app (imagine the outcry if it would be an app to rate girls... "sexist startup guys treating women like netflix movies") what the hell is their business model? they collected 2.5 million for a free app, without a business model and a VERY questionable legal standing (if not in the us almost anywhere else in the world)

not to be too off topic but it seems to me that he's great live when he's not acting all kinds of crazy because two weeks ago someone in the vicinity of the stage ate meat.

Funny that you would say that. There are a lot of us start ups (even yc ones!) that copy companyies/ideas that are proven and established here in Germany. The package stuff s just one example. All the ride sharing start ups that were hyped some time ago basically copy "mitfahrgelegenheit.de" ( now the company s known as carpooling) wh have been dong this for nearly ten years now. Public bike sharing is another example.

It's easy to just blame rocket Internet and pretend like that's all of German innovation/startp scene. Packaging and bike sharing weren't even pioneered by startups but by huge formerly state owned companies who are Slow and boring n the Public eye
