acconradon Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2021)

================

Want to write code to fight climate change?

That's why I joined - you can read the rest but that seems to be the main reason folks from HN want to learn more.

We're fighting climate change by building better apps for farmers and the agricultural economy. If I didn't believe this was one of the most important problems of our generation I wouldn't put so much emphasis on this.

If you want a mission you can tell your grandchildren about, we're working on it right here, right now.

Our stack is JavaScript/React and Python/Flask.

For reference, we're a Unicorn:

https://www.builtinboston.com/2020/08/03/indigo-ag-raises-36...

We work on agtech, the most underhyped sector in startups:

http://stateofstartups.firstround.com/2018/#trends-and-takes

We've been a CNBC Disruptor in the top 20 for 3 years in a row:

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/25/indigo-ag-disruptor-50.html

I'd love to hear from you. Yeah you could apply online but I'd actually like to chat so send me a message at aconrad[at]indigoag[dot]com and I'll tell you more about the opportunities we have.

acconradon What's the most profitable programming hobby?

Consulting your programming knowledge out is a very high ROI per hour (more so than coding).

Some people build plugins for ecosystems like Wordpress and that's pretty profitable.

I have a Slack marketplace app that is ramen profitable.

Write code to solve a problem and charge for it is probably the best way to monetize your programming hobby.

acconradon Working at a startup is overrated, both financially and emotionally

So where do startups go from here?

I feel like all I hear about is how bad it is and FAANG is now the ideal. A crazy thought for a forum whose parent company’s sole income is generated by creating and funding new startups.

So what are we going to do about it?

acconradon Working at a startup is overrated, both financially and emotionally

So what is the solution for startups now?

I’ve worked the whole gamut from FAANG to 1st employee (and founder of a side project startup) and I just don’t know how they compete anymore.

We need innovation and new companies.

But for my own side project I can’t imagine hiring someone. I either are hiring if we become wildly successful or we just get acquired with our founding team and still make an outsized outcome.

It’s a grim outlook for startups but we need them

acconradon Ask HN: Favorite purchases of last two years?

acconradon Ask HN: Are you satisfied with Elixir or do you regret choosing Elixir?

I run GetToKnow (https://gettoknowapp.com) on Elixir.

It costs me $50/mo total (app + DB) and I can easily support 20k users across 250 organizations (some of whom are paid).

I'm basically ramen profitable overnight and my overhead is incredibly low. It's essentially pure profit.

With Ruby/Rails this would be at least x4 the cost.

Hello HN - author here. Yes, I did audit this entire course over the fall of 2018 (edited again in 2019).

acconradon Data Structures and Algorithms Actually I Used Working at Tech Companies

Before grokking this article my initial thought was "everyone today seems to use hash tables or dictionaries". Dicts are everywhere in Python and Objects are the hash table used within JavaScript.

I read the whole Algorithm Design Manual[1] and it can be a bit dry so I'm actually very excited to read Grokking Algorithms to see if it will indeed be helpful for professional developers to ace their ds/algo exams.

acconradon Practicing empathy can teach us the value of diversity and inclusion in tech

Look at meetups, social groups, conferences that serve underrepresented communities (both locally and nationally).

You should be looking because diversity of experience and opinion helps you build a more well-rounded product that your users can empathize with. Alternative and comprehensive perspectives will only help your group thrive and expand their reach as well as build a sense of community and culture on your teams.

acconradon Practicing empathy can teach us the value of diversity and inclusion in tech

One way you can improve diversity in your workforce is to actively seek out underrepresented communities when you are hiring.

You can't control who is applying to your job postings, but you can control who you reach out to to fill those positions.

If you can find people who don't fit the white male programmer mold and let them know about the jobs you have available, you're making the choice to prioritize diversity and inclusion in your teams.

acconradon Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?

Now that everyone is working remotely, it's much harder to get to know your teammates. I built https://gettoknowapp.com as a Slack bot extension that sends you 1 question every M/W/F and posts it to a dedicated #answers channel. The whole app is contained within Slack - you can view people's past answers, upvote/like them, and the real fun is just seeing what your friends/coworkers had to say that you didn't expect about their answers.

I had used apps like Donut before and they felt oddly pushy and impersonal; you join a room and Donut will randomly select people to chat. Have you ever been in one of those arrangements? Extremely awkward openers. I wanted the questions to serve as a fun icebreaker to help people naturally discover interests together.

Oh and of course the tech. It's all built on Elixir. I run one web server and one database server and that's it. I already have about 100 communities spanning about 4000 people so in terms of message/event processing it is completely seamless...one of my favorite things about Elixir. Most interactions are processed in measure of microseconds rather than milliseconds. This makes for a real-time experience in Slack and is such a joy to work with. I also contribute to the Elixir-Slack open source project which has been fun working with as well.

I hope to incorporate more user feedback as it grows but so far it's been a great tool for teams in lockdown as they ramp up new people and want to quickly build them into their teams' culture.
