I was lucky enough to spend some time at Radar last year. An extraordinarily talented and hard working crew (both on the dev and the market/sales sides). A billion API requests per day is not not nothing... It might even be the opposite. It's quite quite something! Hah

I know that Tim (the CTO) often posts in Who's Hiring threads here - ie https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45803442

If you're considering joining a NYC-based startup that works in Rust and TS on hard and fun problems, you should more than consider them. And I am 100% not getting a referral fee to say this haha

P.S. Also may this serve as my public record of appreciation for Binh (the blog author of this piece), a friend and now ex-colleague who I (#humblebrag) originally invited to come to Radar. We originally met at the Recurse Center, another fine NYC-based institution! Binh's a superb and deeply smart fellow who fit right in at Radar. Binh, you rock!!! x

Ah I appreciate this so much Greg!

The skewed street number distribution / Tantivy example in this blog post was the issue we had spent a lunch++ spitballing ideas around. Had to keep it concise for the blog post, but there were a few different fun ways we tried to resolve that and it was super helpful to have your thoughts at the time. xoxo

And definitely shout out Recurse Center!

I am, by most accounts and measures, a pretty delightful debugging rubberduck!, I will admit to that freely, of my own accord. not humble, just brag.

I am also available to do this for anyone, email in bio!
