bretcope··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2022)
York Space Systems | Denver, CO USA or Remote (US Only)

We’re working with space lasers, going to the moon, rendezvousing with other spacecraft, and more. As a company, we’re designing and manufacturing satellites at a rapid pace – our average mission goes from concept to launch in 1-2 years. Our small team writes all the onboard software as well as the ground software which controls and monitors them, but you don’t need a physics degree or aerospace experience to work here! We’re looking for smart people who would love to work in the space industry, especially those who never thought they’d be qualified for a space job or didn’t want to work for a giant aerospace corporation or government agency.

We have openings on ground software (C#/.NET 5 on Linux, TypeScript/React) and DevOps (Azure and on-prem). We’re looking for:

  - Senior/Lead Web Software Developer
  - DevOps Engineer
  - UI Designer
We also have many non-software roles!

bretcope··on Show HN: Schyntax – A friendlier-than-cron syntax for scheduled tasks
It's not just about the person who creates the schedule. It's about anyone being able to understand, at a glance, what it means.
bretcope··on Show HN: Schyntax – A friendlier-than-cron syntax for scheduled tasks
It's not just C#. I did the JavaScript port from scratch in about 8 hours. There's no reason other languages couldn't be added if there is enough interest.
bretcope··on Show HN: Schyntax – A friendlier-than-cron syntax for scheduled tasks
That's interesting. You mean essentially a transpiler either from cron->schyntax or schyntax->cron? The former seems more doable, since I think there are more schedules schyntax can represent which cron can't, though a subset could work in either direction. I've also considered a native utility https://github.com/schyntax/schyntax/issues/2 as an outright replacement for cron, which could benefit from a transpiler.

If there is interest in this, I'd definitely be open to discussing it more on github.
