Re:Ask HN: Companies of one, what is your tech stack?

I built CoderTest [1]. It is an online screening platform to evaluate a software engineer’s technical abilities.
I'm using a combination of Node.js, Golang, React+Redux, Express.js, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, AWS Fargate, Heroku, DigitalOcean, Netlify, AWS SNS, AWS SES, Stripe and Github.
I managed to go from idea to product in 3 weekends. I could have built the same thing with any programming language and hosting provider, but not with the same speed. The result is that I am able to iterate and build much faster by using a tech stack that I am very familiar with.

Actually I'm planning on releasing the system as a standalone API CodeRun [1].

I guess great minds think alike! It's gratifying to see the smart engineers @ Google use a similar solution to solve the security problem. Unfortunately, it seems Crostini is tied heavily to ChromeOS.

This project started off as a side-project on secure code execution because I wanted to figure out Repl.it and HackerRank worked. I tried experiments with different technologies like Firecracker [1], AWS Lambda [2] and gVisor [3]. They are all great technologies but I ended up with a solution using a combination of VMs and Docker containers to execute user generated code.

Also with your sarcasm, you rushed the math. 4*15 = 60

"Explanation #1: Ability bias. The causal effect of marriage on male income is smaller than it seems....Maybe income makes it easier to attract a spouse".

Hi everyone. This is a side-project I wanted to share. I made it to practise using algorithms, since it was something employers were asking me in interviews. Let me know what you think!
