Sweden remote? roles say bay area hybrid

"What will you do in your first week?"

-> what do companies actually expect an applicant to answer here?

These kind of questions make no sense to me in an online application.

Same, applied multiple times since 2025, they always post the same ads.

FWIW this application requires the candidate to do a 5 minute screen recording showcasing a python project, it is a requirement for the candidate to include their face in the video:

    Record and upload a video: facecam + screensharing, unedited, 5 minutes.
    Show us a Python project of yours that...

FWIW it is fair if they hire abroad.

Global? Careers page only includes USA and Brazil

As an international contractor, I have found freelancing gigs on here. I can imagine those willing to relocate or within a major tech hub might get contacted for salaried positions. I can also tell you that is common to find someone leaving a comment similar to yours every now and then.

Freelance developer and consultant. I contribute to the frameworks your stack runs on — shipped patches to Ecto, Phoenix LiveView, PostGraphile, and PowerSync. Full-stack from UI to CI/CD, specializing in web apps and eCommerce. I'm interested in C++ opportunities. I don't write it professionally, but I've learned Rust, Go, and Elixir by contributing to production codebases, and I'd approach C++ the same way.

Rules:

Please only post if you personally are part of the hiring company—no recruiting firms or job boards.

The location is unclear, you mention "many countries globally" but only include a "US" listing

alright this should be flagged. After opening the link and waiting long enough, it redirects to a micro1 page with a referral code:

`https://jobs.micro1.ai/post/774871bf-951f-4f26-9fe8-42eabfce...`

link does not work, seems problematic/spammy if poster can't check their own links

only US it seems

You should definitely read "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" by Ursula Le Guin. It is short too!

> 3. With equity like you're serious, make the salaries low-ish. Not so low that it's nonviable for modest family cost of living, but low enough to self-select out the people who aren't committed to the company being successful, or who don't actually believe in the company.

This is how you select for anyone that cannot land a better payrate. There are startups that get better funding and can pay real salaries.

To leverage their pre-existing motivations*, which is the argument on OPs side, this pre-existing motivation is hired-for, not generated on the role.

Fully agree.

No one plans to hire their assistant based on how much they will motivate the other people that are going to deal with the assistant. Sure, it is important that they are pleasant, but that's it. Their role is actually an administrative one of brokering information. Managers are essentially the same role with higher stakes, trying to make it about anything deeper seems to be main character syndrome in full effect.

but we are a family /s

It stands to reason that if a clown can upset you at work, they can also cheer you up. (no, not really lol)

You are being too generous by saying that there are big words in the text. I find it blunt and uncouth. Actually, that's the problem that I see in the text, an attitude of pessimism and lack of self-reflection. An LLM would certainly give me something more interesting to read!

Tailscale Funnel, no?

For the permissions, just add basic auth in the reverse proxy and choose whom to share the passwd with.

Now if you want OAuth or something like that... well tough luck, you need to set up OIDC or whatever and that's going to be taking you some time, but it still works how you want.

Perhaps try asking it a question that other people in HN could also answer, lol...

> state it as confidently incorrect

It's funny for me to read this. They don't exhibit "confidence". You are just getting the most accurate text that it can produce. Of course, the training data doesn't contain "I don't know" for questions, that would be really bad training data! If you are getting "attitudes", it would be because you are triggering some kind of dialogue-esque data with your prompts (or the system prompt might be doing that).

Expecting the LLM to say "sorry I don't know" would be like expecting google search to return "we found some pages but deemed them wrong, so we won't show you any".

Great! I have looked into this and I have a few questions though...

Basically, I feel that tailscale does not make it very easy to set up services this way, and the only method I have figured out has a bit too many steps for my liking, basically:

- to expose some port to the tailnet, there needs to be a `tailscale serve` command to expose its ports

- in order for this command to run on startup and such, it needs to be made into a script that is run as a SystemD service

- if you want to do this with N services, then you need to repeat these steps N times

Is this how you do it? is there a better way?

And refuse the extra cash? I bet they haven't felt as successful in the past two years as they do right now.

In which case one has to wonder if we need tailwind at all anymore. To me, years ago, tailwind was a great sell as a tool to work faster by typing less. The tradeoff is that the "inline styles" look awful and become a mess real quickly when too many of them are placed together (so and so has precedence or whatever, a media query for each single property, constantly translating between CSS and tailwind equivalent, etc).

Now? Well, AI solves the entire issue of time taken typing. Classnames always looked cleaner too. Additionally CSS doesn't lag behind Browser features and comes with the full power of the language.

Why bother with Tailwind anymore whatsoever?

They were extremely lucky that AI picked up tailwind to keep it relevant, they should be keeping up with the times if they want to stay relevant. Instead their actions are those of someone that is cowering in fear, making sure that they can put the last of the revenue into the coffer. (reject PR because they don't want AI to do better with tailwind while firing engineers, not to mention the big tantrum).

Lets go back to actual CSS, it is easier to read anyway, it's now a modern tool with variables and all that, there's no longer a need to dumb it down.

Besides, if I wanted to pay for pre-made components, I would go with DaisyUI which is agnostic to the frontend framework, unlike the paid components from tailwindLabs, which strictly require you use one of the javascript frameworks.

A huge win, especially because now he can pocket that money and doesn't have to spend it on any of the engineers that he just fired.
