I would like to add:
- good multi-language support
Working in management, I hated this strategy so much.
1. if i reply and the other person then writes their question right away, a reply from me is expected immediately, as we already in a "conversation" (but I might have other things to do)
2. if i somehow don't see it or see it much later, some potentially important information or question did not get conveyed - and it could take equally long for the person to see my reply and finally write out what they want
At some point I had to turn off slack notifications completely as I couldn't get anything done without getting super distracted by them (to the point that I was feeling phantom vibrations from my phone) and anyone who asked if i was there would hit case 2. I did try to explain to people that this kind of question didn't really make sense but I guess many see slack is a social chat tool like any other where such practices are common - and not a tool to distribute information in a company to the relevant recipients in an informal and instant yet often asynchronous way.
A platform that brings together people that are mentally struggling with isolation due to Corona with screened volunteers ("Hearts") that have a professional background in psychotherapy or social work (for free). The technical implementation is a huge hack right now but it works and our 50+ hearts are having video sessions with people from all over the world every day!

Check out https://mullvad.net if you want a VPN that takes anonymity serious. They don't even have real accounts, you just pay (preferably via BTC or even cash via postal mail) towards an account number that is also used as an identifier to authenticate towards the service. While there is no 100% guarantee, I would trust their claim that they do not log.
The features most important to me are:
- Gmails speed and accuracy in search, especially on large mailboxes (100k+ emails) - this one is usually the deal breaker
- easy & powerful automatic filter rules
- web client
- calendar integration (optional)
- app for easy access to emails and search on mobile (optional)
At 1aim, we develop and produce access control systems, which allow to open doors with mobile phones. We create all hardware, software and IT-Infrastructure to run our systems on our own. Beside access systems we are already putting a lot of R&D effort in creating further new smart home/building automation products. We see ourselves as an engineering-driven technology company, that influences how a future with connected devices will look.
We enable engineers to focus on what they can to best, letting them work on new products in small, highly interdisciplinary teams. We try to get rid of as much management overhead as possible (no daily standup meetings!). Right now, we are hiring new engineers for the following areas:
- Senior Frontend Developer
- RUST Backend Developer (our backend is 100% rust!)
- Junior Embedded Engineer (low level mcu firmware)
- Junior App Developers (iOS || Android)
We do not care about your academic degrees or where you are from, but about the stuff you did and what you could create in the future given the right opportunities. If you are interested in working at 1aim, write us an email at work.hn<?>1aim.com and tell us about the projects you worked on that you are the most proud of and which technological feats of the past inspire you. We provide visa assistance, relocation support and housing until you find your own place to live.
Interview process: 1st phone interview (screening) -> 2nd phone interview (technical) -> home assignment/technical challenge (depending on application) -> 3rd/final interview (mixed, via phone or onsite)

I always carry a pocket sized notebook and a pen with me wherever I go. It's still the fastest method to write something down, it always works and it's socially acceptable to use in all situations. Most people whom I meet, even in private, will see me take out my notebook at the beging of the meeting, taking notes occasionally while we interact. I don't think you could do that with a computer or phone and it allows me to remember important details and action points that I (and the person I'm talking to) would forget otherwise. At work I have larger, A4-sized notebooks that I use similarly.
One of the features that I appreciate most is that everything I write down is in chronological order and can be accessed very quickly. In seconds, I can go through last weeks notes and check if I forgot to do something, or even go back a year or more to revisit my thoughts on something that happened back then. Using a pen is also much more expressive, allowing me to highlight/format certain points as a discussion/meeting is ongoing and add illustrations, arrows etc. on the fly.
I've seen and tried some of the new epaper notepads and they're definitely getting closer, but for now they're still to slow, clumsy & fragile to replace paper for me.
