Packmatic | Senior Software Engineer | Berlin, Germany, onsite (1+ days/week) preferred - remote EU only | Full-time | Base + Equity | https://www.packmatic.io/career

We are Packmatic and our goal is to digitize the trillion dollar packaging industry with artificial intelligence and increase the market share of sustainable packaging.

Our team consists of talented, but humble people including ex. Unicorn founders and ex. Y-Combinator.

We’re still small, remote & onsite friendly (with a sweet office in Prenzlauer Berg) and believe in flat hierarchies.

We are building a lovable product, running on modern architecture, technology and methodologies. We are looking for an experienced, frontend-focused Engineer, who is experienced with Vue.js and Typescript and eager to join our team to bring our product to the next level.

paulschraven··on The Rise of Edible Insect Farming
Also, it seems to be questionable how efficient crickets actually are when it comes to Protein according to some studies:

> Although it has been suggested that crickets reared for human or livestock consumption may result in a more sustainable supply of protein, this study finds that such conclusions will depend, in large part, on what the crickets are fed and which systems of livestock production they are compared to. When fed grain-based diets at a scale of economic relevance, populations of crickets in this study showed little improvement in PCE compared to broiler chickens fed similar diets. When fed processed, organic side-streams of relatively high quality, cricket populations achieved a harvestable size. Yet, whether crickets could be raised economically on substrates of similar quality and level of processing requires further analysis. The unprocessed and lower-quality organic side-streams tested in this study could not support adequate growth and survival of cricket populations. Therefore, the potential for crickets to supplement the global supply of dietary protein appears to be more limited than has been recently suggested.
