Terminal49 (https://www.terminal49.com) | Full-time/Contract | Remote

* Want to help automate global trade? *

Terminal49 us all-in-one ocean shipment and container tracking platform. Shippers, Importers, service providers and other logistics technologies co's use our data dashboard and APIs to track and manage ocean containers around the world. We take a bill of lading/container number and build a pretty picture of shipping containers journey.

>> How does it work: We pull data from every ocean carrier (Remember Ever Given?) and US/Canada port/terminal, then standardize it and push container milestones and other events to our customers (webhooks etc). We track containers for our customers so they don't have to. 9/10 people still manually track container by visiting carrier websites and logging into terminal websites (paste container numbers, click track and then copy status back into a spreadsheet -- not joking).

>> Our Progress: Went from 0 to $1.5MARR over last 14 months and growing at 20+% MOM. Container tracking is just the beginning. We are going to go deep into drayage/ocean visibility and build everything from predictive APIS and APIs to programmatically take actions (pay fees, appointment booking, book drayage etc) on a container.

>> Why join us? We are a team of 5, fully distributed and profitable. We are about to raise our Series A, so it's the perfect time to join an have impact on our roadmap and company culture.

Roles ------

* Software Engineer (Data Pipelines) [Ruby, Postgres, Redis, BigQuery, JS, Python, DBT, Datadog monitoring)

* Integration Software Engineer (APIs and bot automation) [You must be good at scraping]

* Full Stack software engineer (Client Application - 70% front end / 30% APIS) [Ember.js App and Rails APIs)

* PM/Designer/Account Exec/other open roles

How come the founders have so little equity?

Basically why now?

Investors would be happy that they get to participate in a project of a bigger company. Typically those opportunities don't exist.

Congrats on the launch, Peter! I want to try this.

Can one trace where a call originates from?

Awesome! Congrats on shipping. We launched Terminal49 APIs with webhooks as first class citizen. So this is top of mind.

There are many industries where push APIs haven't caught up and are much needed.

Let me know if I can help akshay@terminal49.com

The real value creation here would be turning a GET API endpoint into a webhook service. So your service would monitor the service and push updates on changes / diffs based on certain time interval.

Build that and people will flock to you.

Wow! You are a good human.

Yeah that’s understandable. This article is from a software developers perspective. Even though it’s not specifically acknowledged.

Sounds terrible.

Heard of pizza delivery? Similar business.

What hardware would you recommend?

Facebook might have been trying to / already have a data deal in play and probably decided to just buy it out right.

1Password - remove cognitive load and easy ass to all my secrets across devices. Including sharing with family and coworkers

Rubymine - Ruby And JavaScript IDE with powerful SCM, test and debugging tools.

Notion - Shared Knowledgeable and collaboration. Really easy to go from a free form unstructured draft to organized, structured and easily accessible knowledge repo.

Whimsical - My favorite diagraming and wireframing tool.

Notable mentions

Stoplight OPen API editor.

Sunsama - light weight and collaborative todo list with focus on Calendaring

That’s a great question. I haven’t tried it but seems like you can access their private API. https://github.com/haochi/personalcapital

Automated investing and wealth reporting.

I use a few services to automatically invest money into a few different financial vehicles at a regular basis

* Vanguard finds (bi-weekly transfer into various ETFS)

* Titan Invest (robo advisor bi weekly)

* IRA and 529 (monthly)

I use personal capital to connect see view my cash flow and returns across all my accounts.

I have been doing this for the past 3 years and my returns have increased significantly.

I am 34 and I wish I had started doing this when I was younger.

It’s both.

Continued improvements to battery tech will bring the costs down for Tesla which is important for them to do if they want to succeed.

Custom hardware and software will also give them cost advantage and help them in the long term.

That was a different time. They had to do that otherwise they were dead. PPC was not keeping up with Intel.

I don’t believe Apple will transition away from x86 anytime soon but for different reasons. They would abandon the pro market if it moved to arm. Most x86 pro applications would have to be rewritten. What would be the incentive for software makers?

Apple might very will be able to bring out a arm stack for consumer market but there is no indication that they can compete with x86 pro or server market.

Interesting... sounds like a side deal with the Saudi sovereign fund.

If drivers did that. Uber would surely and swiftly take that out of the UI.

Hey thats like a pipe dream. Build a tool for yourself that you really like. Then build a company around it to make that tool better, so it gets better for you and everyone else who loves using it.

That’s you assuming he did it for the money.

React and Ember.js is not an apple to apple comparison. React is a UI library, Ember.js is a framework. Glimmer would be a better comparison.

This won’t give you predictable yields. Though a combination of that idea and automation could work.

If Apple does in fact move towards their own AX CPUS for PCs then might start with a hybrid approach before completely eliminating their dependency on the x86 instruction set.
