Caladan Bio | ONSITE in New York, NY | Frontend Developer | full-time | https://caladan.bio | $130-$180k |

I'm Rob, cofounder & cto at Caladan. We're building 250ml modular bioreactors for synthetic biology scale-up. I'm looking for a frontend engineer to help build the application used to run the actual reactors. Heavy timeseries and analytic interfaces, experiment design, and visualization of bioengineering systems. Building with React & TypeScript on the frontend, Django on the backend with a lot of other embedded systems in the mix.

Benefits, equity. We just closed a seed round and will be launching with customers later this year and early next year. Working from Brooklyn and would prefer someone who can come into the lab and get a bit of hands-on experience with the hardware while we're building out the software.

Email a blurb and a resume to [email protected] if you're interested!

The theme of your logo is similar to Zapier's latest design with the underscore. If you plan on rebranding, I might consider including that detail in your discussion.

I believe the parent comment is using founding engineer to mean early employee (not necessarily first, and differentiated from "founder"). 15% is certainly "founder" levels of equity, but it's all arbitrary.

Still seems quite high, but I imagine a lot of tech founders reach for tools like this if they've not been tasked with designing full systems before.

I do think leaning on the Django ORM for so many years has hurt my ability to write SQL on its own, but it's just about the only ORM thats ever clicked for me in that way.

I don't believe the average sacks per game has changed much. Haven't crunched all the numbers but this has sacks back to the 2003 season [0]. I generally agree though, the NFL wants a consistent and exciting product; for a while now that seems to mean high scoring, offensive games.

I remap caps lock to ctrl on my OS which does make it a little more ergonomic, but I still prefer your method. Although, whatever wizard taught me vim and gave me their beginner cheat sheet had jj instead of jk.

Absolutely, but I'd still consider it a "major Nintendo title" and it's one of the best selling games on Switch.

Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl were also a bit buggy.

I recommend Legends of Arceus though; much of the shake up seen in Scarlet/Violet was tested first in Arceus, plus a fair bit more divergence still.

If I refuse to play am I also tortured

PyPI is not required to run Python though. You could serve or source those packages elsewhere. Pinning the dependencies would at least resolve compatibility of the actual code.

I’ve not heard of it! Thanks, that sounds exactly like the sort of thing that would frustrate me in a good way.

Agricola got me into board games years ago, and it's always been a joy to go back to it. Uwe Rosenberg's games all have a similar vibe that just kinda works for my brain.

I've heard this advice a number of times, but often run up against otherwise standard looking systems that rely on secrets in environment variables -- mainly thinking about AWS's requirement when using Secrets Manager with ECS; the secrets are stored securely, but ultimately loaded into a containers environment.

Absolutely agree, but I like to think the magic bit can stick around as wonder. Perhaps that's bundled into deep curiosity.

Plus ample walking space in the winter months, relatively safe even during peak covid, 80s and 90s design, often have a movie theater nearby. Not sure what else one would want in a work environment.

Quickly seems like an overstatement; you've always been able to write low-barrier to entry, slow, buggy code. Is there a low-barrier language that doesn't end up with a lot of less-than-ideal code samples?

Johnny Harris has a pretty good video about this.

I've found I can handle an extra 10 hours of work a week without negatively impacting the rest of my life -- work, social, sleep, hobbies. I've gotten all my contract work from prior work relationships or referrals from friends.

At this point, I'm looking to switch from hourly to project-based pricing -- I'm finally efficient enough to charge by value; there are only so many billable hours in a day.
