Your tech stack looks like a complete mess. Why are you using both Typescript and Flow?

As a developer there are many red flags here — it looks like you're just listing off whatever buzzwords you can think of.

Please don't post this sort of distracting flurn to Who Is Hiring threads. It's fine in general HN discussions but obviously off topic here.

Hey Etheryte, I appreciate your comment. The aim wasn't to list off buzzwords -- sorry if it appeared like that, and I can see how the formatting made it look like one big melting pot of buzzwords. We're hiring across the board, so the tech stack here lists technologies we use from frontend to backend to devops to machine learning and more. Also, we have a number of different apps that are using different tech stacks because we're open to experimenting to see which tools work best for which features -- so, for example, on the frontend, we are using Typescript for some apps, and we've also experimented with using Flow in other apps. We'll actually soon be coming out with a tech blog article comparing the pros and cons of both Typescript and Flow, so your comment is highly relevant!

Is this necessary? What are you getting out of this comment? There's many "red flags" from many postings in these pages, complaining about them is weird.

He is sharing his observation of inefficiency. Negative feedback like that allows people to improve.
