I’m a full stack engineer and founder based in San Francisco, also open to remote. I’ve spent over ten years building products in fintech, SaaS, and edtech. I co-founded a YC-backed startup that raised more than $2M and got enterprise adoption, and I was the founding engineer at Lendtable where I grew the team from zero to ten and built systems that handled millions of dollars while also boosting sales conversions. I love early stage work, taking ideas from nothing to launch, modernizing messy code, and shipping fast across the ENTIRE stack
Re:Amazon tells employees to return to office five days a week on Monday September 16, 2024 @07:51PM (#41562487)
Take this with a grain of salt but I read on a similar Reddit post the return to office is mainly due to the tax incentives the city/county/state provided Amazon for having their offices located there. The Reddit user made a claim which Amazon could only receive those tax benefits if their workers actually worked in person at the location. ---

I can see this being a valid argument for return to office for a lot of corporations, if its actually true. The tax benefits are too good to pass up and in office has been the status quo forever.

Re:We raised $30M to develop nature-inspired AI in Japan on Wednesday January 17, 2024 @02:12PM (#39032031)
They raised $30MM and ex-google engineers. They will probably pivot into a productivity SaaS product.

Re:The weirdest bug I've seen yet on Thursday November 30, 2023 @02:52PM (#38478232)
This reminds me of similar issues I've encountered as a software engineer. I first ran into this issue about a decade ago, albeit not because of Grammerly,but due to some specific gif causing web app to crash. Both times the gifs were animated. Happened years apart and at different companies.

I see some comments highlighting RAM, which could totally have been the issue. Totally looking forward to a follow up to this later down the road, I am sure this isn't going to be the last time we hear of this.
