WHY TO HIRE DAN: Former founder, both iOS apps I've worked on were featured on the front page of the App Store globally, used by 300k+ people
3 yrs as a full stack product engineer and 2 yr managing engineers
Strong desire to level up as an engineer, and very receptive to feedback
My highest personal value is awareness, which extrapolates into every part of my personal and professional life - I'm a mindfulness nerd.
WHY NOT TO HIRE DAN: You're looking for someone with strong systems design and architecture experience. Most of my experience is working within a pre-existing architecture (front and back end) and building front-end features and their corresponding end-points
I don't have experience working with an engineering team larger than 4 people
You don't have capacity to have a pair programming session once a week with me to help me level-up as an engineer
You're looking for a senior engineer
You expect the engineer to be highly proficient with SQL or GraphQL vs. learning on the job
You haven't raised a series-a yet (or on a strong trajectory to do so)
Claude Code released hooks a few days ago, and I set up a few hooks to improve my experience (and velocity) using Claude Code:
• check-package-age.sh: prevents CC from installing outdated packages • code-quality-primer.sh / code-quality-validator.sh: Validates code quality • code-similarity-check.sh: Helps prevent duplicate code (and uses an indexer to support faster method lookup) • pre-commit-check.sh: Blocks bad commits with lint/test checks • claude-context-updater.sh: Auto-updates CLAUDE.md to keep context fresh (and helps CC navigate the codebase faster)
To help me debug that the hooks were running, I added (local) logging, and I can see stats on the hooks that have run.
I tend to add a new hook when I notice CC not behaving as I want. I've got a backlog of hooks to add.
This is mostly functional, though before it being 'perfect' I figured I'd put it out here to get input and maybe some other contributors.
