Riphyak··on Launch HN: Hatchways (YC S19) – Internships Instead of Interviews
Love this idea: closing the experience gap which makes it ridiculously hard for many talented graduates to land at their first job.

You should beware of MacDonalds and Starbucks though as soon as they start feel feel shortages ;).

My mistake. Sorry about that: din't know this is against the rules. Will never happen again.
Riphyak··on Ask HN: Is it ok to make a list of female software devs available for hire?
Ehh... Never thought about it from this perspective. Thanks for bringing attention to the legal aspect.
Riphyak··on Ask HN: Is it ok to make a list of female software devs available for hire?
Thank you!

This is exactly the idea

Riphyak··on Ask HN: Is it ok to make a list of female software devs available for hire?
Thanks for the substantial comment! This is exactly the point: you see the problem in the present state and also can envision (and like) the state where this problem is solved. The tricky part is usually how you get from NOW to THEN :).

There are some other ways you can pose this question: 1) Can female gender be seen as an additional advantage by the hiring party? 2) Do women developers need any extra help to eventually get parity with men in the software development industry?

Riphyak··on Ask HN: Is it ok to make a list of female software devs available for hire?
Yes, but how about the remote developers?

Thanks rvz!

The simple answer is that this matters to many people: e.g. a company wants to get closer to a gender balance in their workforce. Also, only 14% of engineering jobs in teh US are currently occupied by women: https://insights.dice.com/2018/01/12/relatively-few-women-en...

Riphyak··on Ask HN: Is it ok to make a list of female software devs available for hire?
Well, the idea is pretty similar to that behind "Women in Tech". Women have long been discriminated in the workplace - and they still are (take the wage gap). A pro-active effort must be made to bring the balance.

Does this make sense?

This is a marketplace @Zack-sgu. On the supply side, you have multiple software development contractors. We vet them and leverage their availability data. Good point about the price vs quality baseline! Have to give it a thought.
Riphyak··on Show HN: Instantly hire 3 vetted engineers to deal with your technical debt
Thank you for pointing this out, @greenyoda. The reason we're asking for the deposit is to cut the usual customer validation routine and make it possible for you to jump on a call with the Team lead tomorrow.

This is more a marketplace product than saas - hence the way it works.

Thanks for your reply. Good point!

You are right: the more the amount of the tech debt amassed, the longer the learning curve. Still better if the devs can start from tomorrow, right ;). Also, once the team becomes familiar with the legacy code once, all further support is much easier.
