News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

The tweet actually reflects the culture of Carta, how they care about their customers and the experience I had when I used them. Carta was charging me $8,000 per year at the time I used them. I found an alternative that had all the features for 10% of the price (Cake Equity - https://www.cakeequity.com/ - for the curious). It took me multiple calls with customer representative to cancel my account because Carta did not want to automatically add an option for people to cancel their plan.

There are competitors that have (1) better product (2) cheaper and (3) better customer success. Nobody has to stay with Carta. Just move away, and you can get better service at an affordable price. I used Cake Equity, but I am sure there are other options available.

Do you mean something like Aptera? https://aptera.us/

This really excites me. I had 2 Cybertruck reservations, I cancelled them and ordered an Aptera. I think this is what we really need: smaller car with efficiency in mind.

Re:Postman acquires Akita for automated API observability on Wednesday July 19, 2023 @11:59AM (#36788539)
Congratulation to Jean and the Akita team!
I started to use the product recently and I love the product CoScreen. Still a few bugs but it's definitely better than Zoom to collaborate between developers!

edit: Also, please add Linux support!

Codiga | Software Engineer | REMOTE | Part-Time/Full-Time | https://www.codiga.io

Codiga is the Grammarly for code. We are working on a new static code analysis engine that analyzes code and suggests fixes in real time in the IDE and in pull requests. Developers can develop their own static code analysis rules in their browser.

We are looking for engineers to develop our IDE plugins, especially for VS Code and Visual Studio. If you have experience in building plugins or experience in C# and want to build IDE plugins for VisualStudio, join us!

If you are interested, shoot me an email julien at codiga dot io

Re:Ask HN: What developer tools would you like to see? on Sunday May 22, 2022 @09:43AM (#31468107)
For templates and patterns, we started Codiga [1] where you can define smart code snippets [2] that depends on your environment and can be parameterized by the user when being inserted.

We have a collection of existing snippets user can already use in their IDE on the Codiga Hub [3]. Developers can define their own snippets and share them with their team.

We are still developing the product. It works with IntelliJ and VS Code and we have already a lot of users on the platform. Would love to hear your feedback!

Totally agree with you. I own a Tesla and I am definitely not a big fan of how they communicate or treat their customer (customer service is just horrible). But in the present case, this is not a tesla issue, just an issue of two irresponsible people. The car would have beeped thousands times before crashing (at least very loud beeps for not applying force on the steering wheel and other loud beeps because the car was going off road and hitting a tree - obstacle detection).
Re:Show HN: A coding coach to help you write better code faster on Tuesday February 23, 2021 @04:55PM (#26243416)
That is actually great feedback. What language is your project and what platform did you try/use?
Re:Show HN: A coding coach to help you write better code faster on Tuesday February 23, 2021 @12:56PM (#26240404)
Thanks you for your interest! It should be considered as a debt. For now, we do not provide any metrics on it, mostly because there are already really great tools to do this (and wanted to focus on other aspects). Ideally, we should integrate with other products (such as codecov, coveralls) to integrate code coverage metrics on our dashboard.

Hey HN!I’m Julien, the founder of Code Inspector, a platform that helps developers and managers produce better code and reduce technical debt. We would love to get some feedback from the Hacker News community.Our platform inspects code, looks for defects (security, vulnerability, design, performance, lack of documentation), automates code reviews and reports on team activity.

Re:Ask HN: Work-life balance? on Tuesday February 05, 2019 @10:23AM (#19086066)
In Europe, this is very common to overwork. I am french and everybody that did not stay after 5pm was considered as "underperforming" and blamed for it. In the USA (at least after working in 3 companies in different states), if you stay after 5pm, it means you might not be able to complete your job in the allocated time and therefore, might be "underperforming". This is a simplification but this is the overall sentiment I have from both sides of the Atlantic.

Thank you for your message. This is not being cynic or critical. Real critic also praise when there is progress. In the present case this is just a hater. Hater are gonna hate, no matter what.

Re:Ask HN: Cities underserved by tech jobs? on Friday August 10, 2018 @11:06PM (#17738052)
Pittsburgh, PA
Also get your data: if you don’t have free meal, you bring from home. This is what the vast majority does. And at the end of the day, this is a matter of freedom: if company X decides to offers free meal, what’s the problem? It creates jobs and attract people! Is this the country of freedom or this place incompetent administration wants to control what companies and people should do?
The city is responsible for the housing development. Not all of it but a lot of it. Same for homeless: the city can decide to address the problem by investing on affordable housing and assistance programs
Sounds even more fishy
1. apply for the job 2. mention your requirements to the recruiter 3. if ok, pass the interview 4. if you pass, get the job, otherwise, back in 1.

What you think is probably not important: at the end of the day, what matters is what your employer thinks. If they think you need or deserve a private office, they will give you - otherwise, you might need to change your expectations.

Note: as noted, universities often offers private office. I had such a job. Nice but my salary was a fourth of what I have today. So if you do not want to make compromise on your office space, you might to do some on your compensation.
