Software Engineer backend generalist with one year of industry experience, spent past year at rideOS developing software to solve the vehicle routing problem at scale. Excited about opportunities at small startups (less than 10 eng preferably) where I'd be able to own products end to end, move quickly, and grow fast.

Hey! As someone who isn't super familiar with this space, I'm a bit confused about who your target user is. At first I thought it was for people who have a mobile app and want to publish it on a bunch of stores, but the APIs are all about querying products and customers, so I guess it's for integrating with eCommerce platforms? A concrete example use case on your website would help explain this to me a lot!

Likewise very surprised! I've found that Software Engineering as a field is great for knowledge transferring between jobs -- the ability to design and reason about systems transcends individual languages and tools.

50% sounds about right to me.

I graduate this May with a CS degree, that about mirrors my experiences. The vast majority of competent and even semi-competent students have no problems getting good paying internships, and jobs out of college. I appreciate that unpaid internships are a really bad situation in some fields, but fortunately CS is pretty lucrative right now.

Yes, thank you! Going without ADTs and pattern matching after having them is unbearable. All I really want is Rust but easier to use, maybe I should just bite the bullet and dive into Rust?
