is this your website https://albert.com/careers? Im curious why is there no email given.
praveen4463··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2026)
I applied on this. My java, react, gcp profile matched perfectly but the recruiter rejected me most possibly due to my stutterring. It felt so bad. I'm capable enough, work US hours, founded a startup, founding engineer twice but couldn't get past recruiter round :(

Is someone from India willing to work CET eligible?
praveen4463··on A web page that shows you everything the browser told it without asking
good stuff but useful for non tech ppl. We already knew those things are exposed by the browser. probably worth putting in x/reddit

Loved the carrers page opening a terminal. Too many interview steps though.

I noticed there is a requirement to travel so wanted to ask whether you would accept an engineer/founder (of a very useful fully featured e2e testing product) from India who works US hours? I built this https://dev.to/prtwari/test-for-browser-from-browser-4if9. Built in 2 years (solo, no funding), ran for 2 years, made $200k revenue. Still serves billion $ enterprises and make ~$1k revenue purely on autopilot. Its now called https://outomated.com Got extensive automated testing expereince and browser internals.

your career page is full of expectations but not even a single word about the salary range. why keep this secret and give ppl a suprise later on?

praveen4463··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2026)
can someone working US timezones from India apply?
praveen4463··on New research suggests people can communicate and practice skills while dreaming
I feel walking outside and thinking is a better way to practice skills and solve problems. A tired mind just sleeps and usually doesn't remember current events.
praveen4463··on Spotify adds 'Verified' badges to distinguish human artists from AI
Just like we have today everything 'human centric', AI is going to build its own ecosystem. Someone will soon build, spotify for agents

could you clarify whether the engineering roles are US remote or global remote?
praveen4463··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2026)
would you consider someone from India who has worked for a NYC startup recently and working US hours?
praveen4463··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2026)
Applied. I wasn't too sure whether an engineer from India is eligible but I still applied because I've always worked CET/EST timezones. email-praveen4463@gmail.com

praveen4463··on GCP Outage
whole of firebase was actuallky down
praveen4463··on Show HN: A keyboard-centric clipboard history app for macOS
It's always hard to trust and install desktop apps unless they're open source or coming from a well known dev. But looks promising and useful.
praveen4463··on Show HN: Shpool, a Lightweight Tmux Alternative
Will use it for sure. starred it.
praveen4463··on Ask HN: How to deal with the AI-pocalypse as a regular guy?
It is certain that over the next 10 years, AI is going to do more than 50% of the tasks we are currently doing everyday as a front or backend devs. This will in turn reduce the need of devs too. But, this can't necessarily be a downside. AI has open up a big window of possibilities, not just for large companies but also for devs like us. I can literally think of 10 small AI products I could build quick after learnig some ML, exploring the vast amount of OSS repos and levaraging openai (potentially). You spent time as a chef and now are a web dev. I don't think that would have been as easy as it sounds like. Similar way, adapting to AI wouldn't too tricky too.

All of us have been implementing things through manual logic so far. For example, If I need to find patterns in some given data, I'd write some regex, extend it over time to cover more possible inputs and it would just work with the frequent updates to code. Think it in AI way. I'd build a model, train it with sample inputs and outputs and over time it'd be able to learn the patterns by itself without having the modify or extend the code. Sounds fascinating to me. People want things like these, that don't require a dedicated dev to maintain themselves, that run on itself, just like a business that runs on autopilot.

Try to stay strong and think how can you make something easier for someone else and build it. You don't necessarily have to work for someone else to be able to make a living. And even if you have to, don't think AI is not for you. Apply it (theoretically) on what you're doing, maybe you can find some ways to do something lot easier than what that is. Hope it helps.

praveen4463··on Ask HN: How to handle a senior hire turning out to be junior?
Being a small company, you could have hired them on trial & part time for a month or so, evaluate their skills before taking them in as a permanent full timer.
praveen4463··on Adam? ... is there a reason your laptop is in the fridge? (2006)
Wow, didn't know I could do that :) Perhaps a compact desk fridge would be the best to save the kitchen roundtrips.
praveen4463··on Ask HN: How do you use AI to get things done faster?
find patterns in huge text, such as parsing unstructured data? Or say, finding unique ip addresses from a large server log file or so?
