Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2021) on Wednesday December 01, 2021 @11:04AM (#29405143)
Antimatter | https://antimatter.systems/ | Full Stack Engineer | NYC or remote | Full Time

We’re an early-stage, well-funded company aiming to build the largest p2p learning network. Our mission is to help the world’s C students become C+ students.

We’re looking to expand our engineering team to build out our early product — a spatial product oriented around proving your creativity and subject matter expertise on a particular topic — and to mentor our junior engineers.

You:

    A React and Typescript expert
    You can see the big picture and identify opportunities for improvement. Ideally you’ve scaled systems.
    Big plus if you have experience in WebGL, Three.js, or d3.
    Must be willing to occasionally travel to NYC
Most importantly, we want someone who loves learning, wants to learn the way we think learning will inevitably happen over the next 25 years, and wishes Antimatter existed when they were growing up. You must also love internet culture.

Would strongly recommend anything by Marty Cagan, including http://svpg.com and https://svpg.com/inspired-how-to-create-products-customers-l...

Avoid certifications at all cost

No different than asking "Why is the internet service Facebook growing but the internet service Twitter isn't?" or "Why did the internet website Facebook grow but the internet website WebVan didn't?" Bitcoin and Ethereum serve different purposes (a store of value and maybe a currency vs. a computing platform, respectively).

Re:Show HN: Peekier – A new way to search the web on Tuesday December 13, 2016 @02:00PM (#13169611)
From https://peekier.com/about

"Peekier (pronounced /'pi·ki·er/)"

If it's spelled exactly as it would be if you wanted it to be pronounced another way, it should be pronounced that way

I'm the author and I partly agree with you about yet another tragedy of the commons, though it has worked fairly well for share extensions. I have a few apps that are registered to handle photos when I bring up the share sheet that I'll never use in that context, so I moved them to the end of that line of extensions and also removed a bunch from appearing there. It works fairly well.

A lot of people who read this post a few months latched too tightly onto the idea that SMS is somehow always a better interaction model than a UI. It's not. But there's a time and place where SMS is just the right way to notify someone or communicate with someone about something: http://whoo.ps/2015/05/27/what-sms-is-good-for
