Hammock is building the first HSA/FSA that actually works for modern life — letting people spend pre-tax dollars on everyday wellness like the gym, recovery, and prevention. Backed by a16z Speedrun, and others.
Backend Engineer — Build the financial and data infrastructure powering Hammock — payments, ledgers, health eligibility, integrations with Plaid, Finch, Lithic. Ideal: strong backend chops in payments/fintech/healthcare, deep understanding of relational/transactional data systems.
Full Stack Engineer — Own product features end-to-end across web and mobile. Ship dashboards, payments UX, and other consumer surfaces. You'll move fluidly between frontend and backend and have real say in how the product works & feels. Ideal: built consumer products before, opinionated about UX, comfortable turning ambiguous ideas into shipped features.
Stack: A lot of Typescript & Postgres, Next.js/Expo/React Native, Railway/Datadog/ PostHog.

Typically when I serialize data for #index endpoints I return much slimmer payloads than I do in #show endpoints. I recognize that 120mb was an extreme, but you should be able to serialize lists of 500+ items into well under 1mb, with enough data to render your list view thumbnails/links.
I always thought the infinite scroll pattern was designed for analytics purposes. So that you can track user engagement. Not because technology constraints necessitated it or that it was a good user experience.
Just for fun really- distancing ourselves from workaholic tech culture. FYI, you can execute window.HackerDojo.disableNightmode() in the console to disable the closed page.
I work for a dev shop called Sanctuary Computer (https://www.sanctuary.computer). We take work/life balance very seriously and every employee has the agency to shape the company in ways they see fit. Would love to have more serious back-end/systems developers with me! + we’re always hiring.
