<Early stage start-up.>

A founder-mentality developer. A great developer who's willing to take a pay cut for a larger amount of equity. Competition is fierce, and we're not in crypto :'(

Something I have in mind is learning to dance, for instance. It'll take you a couple of hours to get the basics down, and give back lots of fun in parties.

Ask HN: Life Shortcuts

The best ROI I find in programming, or dealing with computers in general, lies in learning shortcuts.Ctrl-V Ctrl-C takes a couple seconds to learn, and saves you hours or days of clicking around, copying, and then pasting. Same with learning emacs or vim.Learn them once and you're set for life.What are some of the best ROIS in life, aside from the obvious (learning personal finance, working...

Rockit | Remote | Can start Part-Time, eventual Full time | CTO or Experienced Swift Dev

Currently, freelance instructors of any kinds have to wear many hats. They write books, post on IG, get clients, keep track of their clients, and manage bookings. They are grossly underserved yet the number of these individuals keeps rising. This is where Rockit comes in!

We are looking for a CTO or experienced swift developer (+ points if Full Stack) for Rockit, a health and wellness marketplace currently operating in Hong Kong but with plans of expansion to Asia in the coming year (www.getrockit.co / www.instagram.com/rockithq).

We are a team of four engineers (one of which is a co-founder), and a marketing/growth expert (the other co-founder) and are about to roll out our product and then will begin raising money, so your involvement (and respective equity compensation) will be substantial in shaping the future of many freelancers who are on our platform.

Project is currently 100% bootstrapped by co-founders, and are planning to apply to YC and other incubators this year (*EXCITING*!).

If you'd like to get in touch, e-mail us at [email protected]!

PS: You must be as passionate as we are about the space. Having experience with coaching or being coached in either the health and wellness space or any other arts discipline is a must in order to understand the product.

We are strongly looking for product-founder fit.

Ask HN: How do you avoid screen fatigue?

I am a developer clocking in 10-11 hours a day (9-7). I take a 1.5 hour lunch break at noon for the gym and then another 15 min break around 4:30, yet I code for the rest of the time (or at least sit in front of the screen). I avoid simple carbs, choose whole foods, and drink a lot of water - enough to make me go to the bathroom every 1.5 hrs or so (nice way to force me to stand up and walk). I...
