I love the work OP is doing (I'm biased as I work on profiling), but from my experience pretty much every JS project suffer from some of the problems described in this series of articles.
I found the community behind https://www.extremecarving.com/ to be the most "nerdiest" of them all. Small group of people working endlessly to craft the perfect carving board, perfect the technique and advance the sport of alpine snowboarding. You can often find nerdy talks about torsion control (someone built a snowboard that has a split front to counter the board torsion during carving), board flex, technique etc. You just have to love a good old forum. That being said, this looks like an awesome resource for anyone looking to understand snowboarding :)
I guess any other city than US. I'm fine with paying up front for multiple months, but I was asked multiple times to provide details of my salary for the last 3 months, working for the company that employs me, a FR guarantor (which not coming from France is not that easy to find, I was lucky my company helped me here) + your salary needs to be 3x rent and there's about 20 people looking to move in to every apartment 1h after it's posted on any apartment board.
The tech scene is definitely very active, lots of events and meetups to join and some very active companies with good products around as well as active VC's in the city. Add Station F and The Family and you got a nice place to start a company.
Salary wise, I guess you are looking at 40-70k range, depending on experience and role.
The part where Paris is not that great is moving into the city. Speaking from personal experience, my gf moved in with me and tried finding a job outside tech w/o speaking French and it's basically a nightmare, she moved back. Getting any paperwork done or renting an apartment in Paris is a nightmare as well.
So overall, Paris is nice, but you need to be French or speak French to enjoy it, otherwise it might take some time and in my opinion, it's the only thing that makes Paris fall short of being a good place to move to.
Algolia | multiple roles | SF, Paris, NY, Atlanta, London | Onsite only, Full time
Hey HN, at Algolia we are facing a major challenge of scaling our team to follow our growth and our series B investment. We are currently looking for multiple dev roles, but looking for other areas such as marketing and sales as well :)
We are a hosted search API, that allows anyone to quickly build good search within hours. https://www.algolia.com/
Responsibilities depend on the role, but we normally have teams that are responsible for different areas like the dashboard, infrastructure, our open source libs etc.
Technical requirements are as per role. You don't need to be a superstar, but it helps if you want to become really good and enjoy the environment.
I'm biased, I work there, but I can say that the past year has been good to me both technically and life wise (I relocated to Paris). My co-workers are extremely nice and knowledgable people who seek to bring the best out of everyone. My colleague wrote an article about his experience -

Undoubtedly a very bad thing to do from the intern, however I feel that if we treated this correctly we could open a debate and encourage GCP to add support. Let's not forget that this can likely ruin someone's career. It's a stupid intern mistake, let's try to get something good out of it.
We have done something similar for the hn search at Algolia but flagged it under style -> experimental in the settings panel. It's not a grid layout, but more a refresher to the current design. https://hn.algolia.com
