Who is hiring has become a scam. I followed it for years and lately I noticed a large cohort of companies (including YC startups) doing shadow listings. The same positions being constantly advertised, month by month, not being filled in this job market?
I hardly doubt it is legit. I do not know why they are doing it, are they scraping data or just showing off, some are plain scammers but it is visible and HN doesn’t help by not allowing discussions about it.
My suggestion is to have a separate discussion thread so people can be aware of it and share their experiences.
Senior software developer with 8+ years building cross-platform mobile and web apps and cloud backends.
I am a dependable team member, able to contribute from day 1. I have experience in startups and large corporations. I love a good challenge, and I am always willing to tackle a new problem, from SDKs, GIS implementations, to smart home solutions. I set and meet high expectations.
I agree with this comment. I have no problems with Microsoft getting blocked, but disallow others also. Don't let Disney, Tencent or Apple, or some 3rd party then do the exact same thing.
I'm not part of the target demographic, but I will say this looks compelling to me. If Peloton can do it for cycling, I do not see the reason you cannot do it for rowing.
Although a pain point kind of seems obvious, Peloton is successful because cycling by itself is "approachable". Anyone can hop on a bike and just start cycling, doesn't matter on your gender, weight, or conditioning.
While rowing, eh.. You said it yourself, people avoid it in gyms like the plague. Don't get me wrong, I love rowing for the same reasons you do, rowing is the activity I do the most during the week.
It's just that a lot of people do not like rowing, or/and are scared of it, and the biggest "problem", it is hard, way harder than anything else in the gym.
So it seems that you are naturally blocked with a certain ceiling as to how much you can grow and where. While you are establishing a moat yourself to keep competitors away, the bigger question is how is the customer going to cross the "rowing moat" to even try your product?
This is simply astounding!
At this point, Apple has to be the most successful company (i.e. brand) in the world (and history)?
I am simply amazed. I cannot stand the company, their fans, or their products, but you got to give credit where credit is due.
They have managed to turn a tech company in to a luxury fashion company. That is every entrepreneur's wet dream.
You keep getting away with customers like a bandit and people will still happily buy it.
Just look at the people commenting in this thread where people are honestly admitting to paying a $200 markup just because it is Apple and they "trust" them, for a product they don't even know if they need.
Amazing, to be able to achieve something like this is really wow...
