Neon Commerce | https://neonpay.com | Senior Software Engineer | New York, NY (On-Site) | Full-time

I run the engineering team at Neon, the commerce platform for mobile games. We're working on making it easier for game developers to monetize their games. We're going after the Apple/Google duopoly by creating ways for developers to reach their players directly and avoid the App Store tax.

We're a small team, and growing quickly. We just raised our Series A and are focused on expanding to more countries, growing our commerce offering, and scaling the core product.

We're looking for senior engineers looking for full-stack, product work. The stuff you build will ship directly to our customers (game developers) and their customers (game players). There's a lot to own and manage, and you'll sit alongside a world-class team in doing so.

You can apply here: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/Neon/86131334-4a12-4e86-8b53-d81651... - I review every resume myself. (Don't forget to add your favorite game!)

Neon | New York, San Francisco | Full-Time | Onsite

There’s a massive transition happening in the video games industry right now. Gaming has become a full-blown cultural movement, and many fail to appreciate how it has already become the dominant form of leisure and entertainment for an entire generation.

But as culture has evolved, technology has advanced, and more people have gravitated toward games, the industry incumbents that run the show haven’t kept up. Our big bet is that by empowering game creators with better technology, we'll make the entire ecosystem more welcoming, connected, efficient, creative, and fun for all.

We’re an early stage startup backed by Thrive Capital, Griffin Gaming Partners, Ribbit Capital and a16z's inaugural SPEEDRUN class. Our mission is to help game creators achieve independence by building the tools they need to start, run, and scale their businesses.

He died in prison. I don't know how much more subject to laws you can possibly get.

I disagree. There are plenty of erotic undertones with TurboTax. I always feel like I'm getting fucked
Re:Stop Developing This Technology on Thursday February 02, 2023 @02:08PM (#34631568)
We all have responsibilities as technologists to be ethical (to our own standards, at least), and to keep in mind the impact of the things we build. That applies regardless of whether other tech with a negative social impact exists, or for that matter whether it will exist. You can still be a good person, even if no one else is doing so, and you're under no pressure to be a bad person (in this context, anyway).
Re:Why aren’t medical breakthroughs in obesity a bigger deal? on Wednesday November 30, 2022 @04:50PM (#33808305)
If a surgery were developed that reversed the effects of alcoholism and dramatically reduced a person's desire to consume alcohol, wouldn't we still consider that a medical breakthrough?
Re:Using Rust at a Startup: A Cautionary Tale on Wednesday November 23, 2022 @11:51AM (#33721597)
Are there languages that copy Rust's type system and compiler ergonomics without the memory safety?

I feel like 90% of my struggles with Rust in the real world have to do with the borrow checker. The two pieces don't feel related enough to me that they need to be interlinked.

So true! As they say, workers of the world, unite, and submit your quarterly OKRs!
Re:“You meant to install ripgrep” on Monday October 17, 2022 @04:21PM (#33239038)
A friend of mine in college installed this on my laptop when I had my back turned. For a month or so, I wondered why anyone thought this feature was a good idea, and why no one I knew who used MacOS seemed to complain about it.

Ask HN: What are your favorite practical guides to software engineering?

I'm putting together a list of resources for my team, and am looking for external guides to software engineering. Some of my favorites:* Google's guide to code review: https://google.github.io/eng-practices/review/ * Apple's guide to good app copy: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022/10037/Any others you really like?
