I don't understand so many upvotes, I would understand it a year ago or so but this post is more useless than a linkedin post.

IMHO all these companies are flooded with account managers, sales, customer success, BDR, when they could just let customers choose their own plans, upgrade freely, etc, instead of "schedule a call with our team"
NO Lastpass, we use it at my company and it is terrible, the UX is a nightmare.
I don't normally comment on HN but reading all the negative vibes made me want to comment.

Glad to hear you are doing great! I had to make the decision between a high paying job and a high rewarding job and choosing the second one has been a huge improvement in my life.

+1 to AWS Step Functions, in my last three companies I have built fairly complicated workflows with them and once you get used to them they are very powerful, reliable and cheap. I just wish a little bit more monitoring on top of them but nothing you can not build by yourself.
1.- If you are really interested in the job you spend a few minutes preparing the CV and applying for it. 2.- If the company doesn't support a standard format is probably the company's problem not yours.

"Finally, all this friction discourages some candidates to apply to some positions." Doesn't this just validate that the benefit is for recruiting firms rather than applicants?

This will only benefit recruiting firms in order to automate processes such as the one behind this project, I don't see how this would be beneficial for anyone else.

It locks you down to that ORM. If you are the owner of the ORM such as Google with Looker that is fine, otherwise it doesn't sounds like a good idea to me
Re:Ask HN: What's your startup's BI tool/setup? on Monday November 29, 2021 @10:13AM (#29380750)
I forgot to mention on the posts what are my thoughts so far:

- License products such as Tableau, Qlikview or PowerBI are too big for us at the moment, both in size, pricing, complexity, etc.

- Scheduled exports to Excel/csv don't solve our use-case as it needs our interaction every time there is a new export or change in the queries.

- Accepting requests directly don't scale well either.

- Currently we are considering Metabase, Superset and Redash. Leaning towards Metabase based on better UI, runs well in AWS and connects to SQL databases, Mongo, Redshift and Clickhouse (Not that we use all of them but we may in the future)

Ask HN: What's your startup's BI tool/setup?

I am a software/data engineer who is stepping up as the responsible of data in a 30-person startup and one of the first assignments is to choose and get up and running a BI tool so people that don't know SQL can explore data, create/look at dashboards and export data.Now that I am looking into this problem I am curious what are other startups solutions to this.- Is the CTO or one of the...

No really banned, but any of his articles will magically be removed from the front page.

Why do you keep banning DHH from the hacker news?
Thanks Jeff,

I'll look at the Post, and some others paper from Chicago, where I live.

Ask HN: Where can I look for a non-profit organization to help?

Hi, I'm graduating this year and would like to find a non-profit organization to help while I'm in college but I don't know how.I'm a software engineer and I prefer to help non-profit organization rather than doing and internship so I'll get the experience anyway while helping a non-profit organization.Where would you look?
