ServiceBell is building the next generation of live chat, reimagined with video chat. We're looking for a senior, frontend leaning full-stack engineer to help us execute on our roadmap in advance of our public launch. The contract duration will likely be for 1-3 months, with the potential to convert to full-time depending on how things go!
We have a modern, React/Typescript/Redux(toolkit) based codebase, where you'd be helping us translate designs into beautiful, functional UI for our amazing customers.
If you're at all annoyed by chatbots and want to help create a better alternative, consider applying!
We're the virtual service bell for your website. Our mission is to re-create in-store quality experiences, online. Think Intercom, but Video.
We're an early stage, funded Enterprise B2B Software company. Despite being pre-launch, we've seen sustained 50%+ average MoM growth, and already have meaningful MRR.
We're looking to bring on a senior, product minded engineer to our team of 4.
At ServiceBell, we take "being there for your customers" literally. We’re building a virtual service bell for the web, to help agents greet website visitors over live video chat.
We've just closed our Seed round and are hiring our founding team. We're looking for a senior full stack engineer to join our team of 3. You’ll be a co-owner in our product, and moreso, in our business.

Have there been any benchmarks done on the websocket side of FastAPI specifically compared to flask-socketio? Especially when scaling horizontally and needing to synchronize across many socket servers?
We're building out a product that will maintain large numbers of simultaneously connected sockets, so the "performance" pitch here is pretty compelling.
It's not just 3000 people. My comment is relevant for entities like pension funds, mutual funds, hedge funds, insurance companies that have to allocate their float, conglomerates like Berkshire hathaway, and those "negligible" 3000 people that account for probably a quarter or higher of personal investment.
I think this is true, but only to a point. It's certainly true when the comparison is 10K to invest vs 10M, as liquidity of markets is not yet a concern and the investor with 10M is suddenly "accredited", can afford to pay a financial advisor, etc.
However, at 10M vs 10B, the 10M investor is much better off. Liquidity becomes a real concern - there's just not that many assets or stocks that can support that kind of allocation.
Small, nimble investors can usually outperform large funds simply by being able to fully enter into positions where larger funds couldn't.
If I was a shareholder of FAANG (I'm not), I wouldn't be very excited about them taking on very unprofitable tasks like solving humanity's urgent problems.
Yes, this is true in the sense that investor's did actually receive returns, but I was talking about the fund as a whole not actually generating any returns.
I'm pretty sure FAANG pays quite a lot in payroll tax, property tax, and they also ensure that FAANG employees pay quite substantial income tax, property tax, and sales tax.
How do you understand that the entire world was communist until 10,000 years ago?
The natural order of the world appears to more closely resemble capitalism via the "eat what you kill" philosophy.
I imagine you are imagining close-knit tribes that would share resources freely internally. If so, would you agree that tribe members that leech off of the tribe and don't contribute were likely expelled from the group?
We certainly all do seem to have this innate fear of being abandoned by our group, so I think it's fair to say that we're adapted to avoid this outcome.
I don't think this analogy holds. In the Madoff example, returns were quite literally only on paper, as they were fabricated out of thin air.
As someone who runs ads on Facebook, I can tell you that we saw an immediate lift in revenue and profitability as soon as we started. Internally we actually believe Facebook is misattributing Facebook driven purchases to the low side, as various ad blocking tools like uBlock may be interfering with this attribution matching.
For the Madoff analogy to hold, Facebook would have be going to our site and making just enough purchases to convince us to continue to run ads on Facebook.
From the view of the business, I couldn't care less of how many fake accounts are on Facebook. As long as money in < money out, we're going to keep running ads on Facebook.
