Virtusan | Switzerland, EU (Remote) | Full-time

Virtusan is a Swiss based health coaching platform for sleep, stress and recovery that works with any wearable, including our own smart ring. We're hiring our first AI Tech Lead to build the intelligence behind our coach: turning biometric and behavioural signals into personalised programmes that help people sleep better and stress less. You’ll be the technical authority for AI across engineering; you make the calls on architecture and approach, set the standards others build to and stay hand-on in the code.

I'm on a Workspace Pro subscription and the models I have are (in order of the dropdown on gemini.google.com):

    - 3.6 Flash
    - 3.8 Thinking
    - 3.1 Pro

I would love to sign up to Antigravity to try out these new Gemini 4 models but the Antigravity pricing page - https://antigravity.google/pricing - recommends me (a "Developer") to "Get Ultra". But that leads me to an error page, because Ultra is only available for personal accounts apparently "Sign in to your personal account. Switch to a personal Google Account to access Google One.".

Back I go to the Antigravity pricing page and there is a tier "For Organisations". But now I have the option of either contacting sales (are you kidding me?) or "Start now via the API".

So I'm out - I want a simple subscription like Claude or Codex. I don't want API enterprise pricing for a 2 person organisation. I could use my personal account but I'm already paying increased Google Workspace prices to access Gemini and I can't even use the latest models with that.

If someone at Google sees this, flag this ridiculous behaviour please and get things under control. It should be a very clear process - don't show me things I can't access. Price things consistently and please just make things logical.

In my opinion the OS should broker the communication between harnesses (which is part of Siri), LLMs and app functionality. It can take into account the permissions, the user could configure which LLM to use at an OS system settings level and complex workflows can integrate permissions like FaceID only once as the harness then interacts with APIs exposed by applications (arguably already there with app intents).

Does this still apply if there are separate legal entities for US & EU operations? Take Hetzner as an example. They have a separate US company to deal with their US data center. Would their EU servers be vulnerable to the CLOUD Act?

Visa sponsorship is not provided.

LiveMap - https://livemap.ch/ - is a funded startup with a vision to build the next generation of mapping apps (think hyper-personalised Google Maps). How that looks is still being explored so we're building prototypes, getting them into customer hands and iterating quickly. We're looking to bring on a couple of people to help accelerate this development process.

As a data engineer you'll set up a data pipeline, work with product to identify relevant datasets, connect, persist and expose that data.

Working on the routing engine you'll extend off the shelf routing engines (Graphhopper) to take into account dynamic run-time preferences & attributes (think temporal).

The irony to have the EU criticised for regulation on one side but complete government control of access on the other.

> We focused on occupation-level shifts in remote work rather than personal choices, as decisions to work remotely may themselves reflect individuals’ mental health status

> Understanding remote work’s impact on mental health is important for workers deciding where to work

Remote work is not for everyone so if you are someone who predominantly makes their social connections in an office being forced to work remotely will have an impact.

However I think a lot who choose to work remotely have friends outside of work. I know this study focuses on those who live alone but it may also be very different for those who live with a partner/family/friends.

Anecdotally I have found that people who want social interaction in the office push for everyone in the office (rather selfishly in my opinion) because without enough people in - for example in a hybrid model - they don’t get the same kick.

Zed - https://zed.dev/

Integrates a lot of agents (I use it with OpenRouter and directly with Pi) natively, is fast (you don't realise how laggy VSCode and its forks are).

Biggest disadvantage: lack of extensions. Lots of quality of life missing (e.g. gitignore integration to add/append gitignore files for different languages).

It's worth considering why you are choosing a European stack.

Is it to support local/European companies - Great. Is it because you don't want to be at risk of the US and the CLOUD Act - Not so great. Any company that has servers in the US (which Hetzner and basically all CDNs do) are still vulnerable to the CLOUD Act and that includes servers in Europe.

OP here. I do like Opus but I don't default to it for everything. My CC usage is a lot of Haiku/Sonnet and is also very bursty (bursts throughout the month, not a day).

I find that a lot of my Claude usage goes unused and then when I'm coding or leaning on agents I hit a limit and have to wait. I don't like that dynamic. I do have Extra Usage enabled (with a cap) but then I'm spending more than the $100 I already do.

I'm learning that a lot of people seem to consistently stay within limits and that works for them but I was looking for something different for myself.

The real pain is that Anthropic don't easily quantify usage (which can now change over the day). How many tokens is it? Minimum? Maximum? I tried to quantify this with OpenTelemetry for a while but have decided to move to this more flexible setup.

A non-profit identity service.

Uses government IDs that a lot of people already have and saves signed credentials to your phone. There is a server element for the verification process but it runs all in-memory (follow the Mullvad model and not even have persistent storage in the servers).

It's fun. Get to practice mobile development (Flutter), use some local GPUs, learn about the changes to JWTs for signed, selective disclosure, Bitstrings for progressive disclosure lists etc.

Landing page is https://agora.gdn/ in case anyone wants to try a beta in the future.

I had a similar opinion a couple of years ago, content with more of an autocomplete.

Now I'm happy with agents as the models and harnesses have improved significantly but the token usage comes at a cost.

Thank you for taking the time to explain that - makes sense. I lifted what was present in your terms of service as I'd like to understand the minimum time I have.

I'm always interested in how people use tools. I like to have a full editor to review code as a complement to the CLI and as I don't often use hooks the integration is also good enough for me.

1. What do you use the hooks for?

2. Do you use an editor alongside the CLI to review code or only examine the diffs?

I did. Perhaps too much consumption of AI responses but articles and engagement are written by me - a human.

You are absolutely correct, I was not aware of this. I will update the article accordingly and perhaps it's more worthwhile to stay solely on Cursor with the limited models.

Sadly Zed seems to add 10% so it's still more worthwhile to use OpenRouter.

If only Zed had more extensions I would use it consistently over Cursor to be honest but for now Cursor remains my daily driver.

I like the option for different models that I just don't get with Claude Code. I want an IDE to monitor files and understand the code, not just see snippets (I know that there is still the Editor view in Cursor but with the push towards the Agent view I feel it's headed into a Conductor direction and personally I'm not ready for that).

As someone on Reddit pointed out, now that it's in the Grafana stack you can also use standard alert management & notification tools to send updates on usage and alerts for abnormal spikes.

You can get user prompts and tool calls in the logs (but not system prompts) although you do have to set a couple of extra environment variables.

It's under the `prompt` and `tool_parameter` fields in the logs.

    {service_name=~"claude-code"} | prompt != ""  | line_format `prompt={{.prompt}}`

Claude Code supports using OpenTelemetry to gather some metrics including token usage, cost, user prompts and tool calls (unfortunately no system prompts).

This is possible without custom certificates, MITM or proxies. However you do need something to collect, store and visualise the OTEL data.

I use Grafana Alloy (running in Docker) and Grafana Cloud for this but you could use any OTEL provider including SigNoz.

Leave it running, track your usage and when you hit limits look back to understand how many tokens that actually was.

why not?

Okay not today but China was known as the cheap copier and is now the innovator.
