The M2 money supply has increased by roughly 48% since 2020. There are probably social consequences to this (as it would be strange if there weren't). Perhaps we are feeling the need to try every possible idea to see if that is the thing that wins the money (which is new, and does not obey the old rules).
Willing to relocate: Preferably not, but will for the right role.
Technologies: Golang, C, Typescript, React, Docker / Dagger. [Prior experience: Rust, Flask, Django, C#, PHP (Symfony, Wordpress)]
Full-stack software developer with 10 years of experience in both enterprise and startups (some YCombinator startups).
In keeping with the trends, I have recently proven ability to embrace AI-driven development through production of a desktop app with a large surface area (link in resume) for which I used primarily Claude Code. The app targets 12 distinct binaries, so I have become opinionated on CI practices as well.
My passion lies in solving customer pain through targeted effort and thinking through a business lens. Seeking a company with a similar user focus and culture slanted toward building value over making noise.
Yes but that representation can be over-applied and misleading. For example you can roughly estimate the price of the entire earth. What does that number mean though? Well, nothing, really.
Didn’t you just say your landscaper gets fired every year? That would mean they’re not “truly skilled.” So why hire them in the first place if they’re not skilled?
Originally you were assigning zero significance to the act of being fired, now you’re backtracking saying it implies something about value.
Obviously fields like oncology and genetics are going to have major disruptions. What sort of event would trigger someone needing to redo their entire 7+ years of medical schooling?
Doctors have to undergo minor professional development refreshers — not replace their entire education. There is a reason we educate early in life; it's hard to retrain the old (and expensive or even approaching impossible).
Most of modern society is new in history; what is that supposed to say? If you are making the point that it's unproven and fragile, that would be a good point and actually one that supports "woe is me" because all of it could disappear overnight considering the fragility.
Savvy ex-YC startup Software Engineer, great at taking a project from 0 to 1 and 1 to 10. My background was initially in React and the frontend world, but I've since transitioned to being a more Go/backend-heavy developer working on high-throughput systems. Clocking in at 10 years of experience, I have worked the full gamut, from early stage startups to Fortune 500 companies — and would love to join a team focused on building a great product for the user. You might want to hire me if you have a need for someone who has both business/finance intuition and also software skills.
That would not run counter to the popular (whether true or not) idea that by using functional programming languages you filter for a higher quality labor pool / applicant pool.
Drudgery is not as much drudgery when there is variety. I think a lot of people who see their work as "drudgery" actually just are forced to do one thing and never even think about doing a second thing during their day.
Location: Seattle, WA / Portland, OR
Remote: No
Willing to relocate: Yes
Technologies: Typescript, Golang, Python (Django/Flask), C#, React, C (certification in C)

And notably, totally interchangeable cogs is exactly what a startup should not want. For the reason that it requires a lot of slack. Startups are supposed to move fast, and if you move fast that means there should be minimal overlap in work between different employees. Layoffs could be fatal at that stage in a company's story.
