Not a question but a prop, this is truly a great product built by a great team!

One day I hope to be able to truly do CD on mobile to avoid the annoying gatekeeping of the app stores, for sure Shorebird is the way!

Hey! I've just sent you an email!

MAAT | Founding Engineer | Remote (EU + UK) | Full-time | Salary + Equity

We are on a mission to enhance gym management and connect the sports community. We are looking for a Senior Engineer eager to grow into a CTO role.

Our tech stack:

  - Flutter

  - Typescript

  - NodeJS

  - NextJS

Besides writing a lot of code to build the foundation of the product, you’ll lead development, design architecture, and scale our tech.

When you are away from the keyboard you are a friendly, skilled communicator and possibly doing some kind of sport (if that is BJJ that's a plus!).

Competitive salary and equity on offer.

Interested? Email me at stefano@joinmaat.com with your CV and some cool things about you.

PLEASE: Avoid ChatGPT-like applications, Cover Letters, and most importantly avoid calling me Hiring Manager.

OP here:

Thank you so much for all the insights! I'll leave my contacts here in case you'd like to stay in touch. We are building a marketplace for sport communities. Our initial GTM is in BJJ/Martial Arts, if you'd like to know more ping me here: stefano[at]joinmaat.com

That's a smart strategy!

I'm trying some platforms but usually the quality of the applicants is low, as in not the right fit for joining so early.

Thank you so much for sharing this resources!

I love this guideline!

I'm indeed looking for that attitude that you are describing. Most of my dev friends don't have it tho and i'm a bit out of idea.

I tend to avoid startup events because they are almost always full of startup gurus and very few builders, but maybe I need to actively look for the hidden gems.

Thank you so much!

> you probably have the daunting issue of effective screening

Exactly how I'm feeling right now, i've started to job posts in some slack/discords for devs and LinkedIn, but it's very difficult to screen as we don't really have a process in place or anything structured.

We are looking for someone which is interested in our mission and would love to build it with us for $ and equity

Yes, this is exactly my feeling. I've chatted with talented and smart people but the always miss something, and that something is probably what are you describing here.

Where do you usually look for this kind of ppl?

I'd avoid part-time as at this time we are looking for very committed ppl that can help us doing the 0 to 1. We have a product with users and paying customers but we still need to find explosive PMF.

I'm trying LinkedIn and i'm impressed by the amount of application I've received so far

Hey!

This is great advise, thank you so much this this! I'll ping you so that you can educate me more!

We've sent like 5 different documents showing the same address

We've already done that and with several different documents. It's something will take a human 2 second to understand that the address is the same.

How obscure this process can be?

One very simple explanation I’ve read is that time perception (as time itself) is relative. Time goes slower when you are a child because your perception of time is relative to the totality of time you’ve experienced.

So for instance, when you go from 1 to 2yrs old, it’s double the amount of your entire life, but from 80 to 81 it’s just a small fraction.

Not sure if this has been proven or is even possible to prove.

I'm really interested in deno, but I didn't yet have the chance to test it properly.

I would love for this year to see the runtime support for either Google Cloud Functions or AWS Lambdas

Can people share some use-case for this kind of tools?

I'm curious to know if people have been able to pinpoint other reasons why copilot might stop providing suggestions, this one is quite odd tho.

I love the Marcus Aurelius one!

Hey I've created this GPT just to test out the new functionality, please share you own!

For me personally, I was just asked to build the tool from a friend and since I was bored at work I've started building it and got in love with it.

It looked like a quite terrible idea in a very big red ocean market, but is turning out quite successful actually and now we've got almost 60 playing customers.

I had the same feeling with GTP3.5 yesterday, I've asked if in order to calculate ARPA you need to consider the free tier and it come out with some gibberish about the fact that he doesn't know anything post 2021 about the Advanced Research Projects Agency.

It crashed for me on my Macbook M1

I ran the unoptimized version of the code into ChatGPT and he was able to optimize it similarly to OPs solutions.

I was quite impressed, here is the ChatGPT version:

fn run(s: &[char], window_size: usize) -> usize { let mut unique_chars = 0; for i in 0..window_size { unique_chars |= 1 << (s[i] as u32 - 'a' as u32); } if unique_chars.count_ones() as usize == window_size { return window_size; }

    for i in 1..s.len() - window_size {
        let prev = s[i - 1] as u32 - 'a' as u32;
        let next = s[i + window_size - 1] as u32 - 'a' as u32;
        unique_chars ^= 1 << prev;
        unique_chars |= 1 << next;
        if unique_chars.count_ones() as usize == window_size {
            return i + window_size;
        }
    }

    panic!("No unique window found");

}

//NOTE: my prompt was the make the code O(N)

Not entirely, which part is for you?

Yes, this was a big selling point for us, we are a SaaS/Marketplace for martial arts academies and part of our business models also rely on transaction fees we get from the payment integration.

We are attempting to support mollie also to enter the dutch market but we are only 2 people writing the code here. :(

This is exactly my point, SEPA DD is by design high dispute because the customer can dispute a payment on a no-question-asked basis over a span of 8 weeks.

This can also happen due to insufficient funds, or as it happens if the mandate you (Stripe) send them is wrong. We previously have an issue with this exact same account where the reason for the disputes was an incorrect mandate and we were refunded for those.

To put this into context, we are talking about a small local gym, with 33 active memberships.

This is exactly my thinking process tho. The other account blocked was just starting, had like 8 payments and one dispute and got blocked.

I'm really afraid for our other accounts now, seems like is just a matter of time until they get blocked.

Is speculation of course, but seems to me that their own mistake caused their fraud detection algorithm to go off summing up with the normal disputes that the gym receives (ie: insufficient founds)

To add another piece of context here, less than a month ago we receive this email from Stripe for the same account:

Hello,

We’re reaching out to notify you that some SEPA Direct Debit payments created between September 26th to October 4th incorrectly show as disputed when they actually failed. We have confirmed this issue is resolved, and SEPA Direct Debits created after October 4th 04:00 UTC will not incorrectly show as disputed. Please note that as SEPA Direct Debit is an asynchronous payment method, you still may see new disputes on payments created before October 4th.

We have compiled a list of all currently-known payments impacted by this issue, which you can download by clicking this link:

We will be refunding any charges for the affected payments and disputes.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any further questions please let us know.

—The Stripe team

Hey, @gizmo thank you for your reply, I indeed checked. As I said the account affected here is a local business, they make like 1.1K MRR from the same people forever. I've checked personally the disputes and they are all due to these "insufficient funds", also one issue that happened like 3 weeks ago on the same account was that Stripe was incorrectly crafting the SEPA Mandate and for the reason the bank rejected it.

It seems like their own mistake has caused their automatic fraud detection algorithm to incorrectly flag this account. This is speculation obviously, but with this timing...
