Stealth Healthcare Startup (Seed lead by Sequoia, Series A lead by Khosla Ventures) | Full-Stack Engineer | Full-time | Remote (US Timezones)
Our mission is to redefine care for the most vulnerable. The healthcare system is failing the underserved. It's a struggle to find care, to afford care, and to receive quality care. We are a company currently in stealth mode that is transforming the healthcare experience for low-income families through purpose-built, thoughtful technology.
We are a Series A startup and funded by world-class investors. We are led by a founder who grew up on Medicaid (public insurance) and personally knows the desperation of not being able to afford medically-necessary care.
Here, we believe that anything can be achieved through pure will, determination, and grit. We value builders with a similar mindset. We have grown to 8 figures in ARR in one year and are looking for more team members to keep the momentum going!
Our team is remote-first + we have an office in SF that serves as a hub for several team members.
Our JD is tagged as "senior" but we are happy to talk to folks who are earlier in their career as well.

feel free to have them reach out for feedback about why we passed on them, I offer that to anyone who asks. we have taken screens with new grads and folks with less than 2 years of professional experience from this job posting already so I assure you that line is accurate.
On your Stealth Healthcare Startup Roles page [1] it says: "All roles are hybrid. We’re based in San Francisco" but further down the same page it says: "Remote and in-person hybrid work options. We’re based in San Fransisco." Partial update of that page that missed a bit?
And secondly: what does remote mean? US only? Within certain time zones? Worldwide? (Can I apply from NZ?)
I think this is a really good idea. Just imagine being able to open source rulesets and cards and being able to load them into your deck on a moments notice, and your friends being able to do the same. I hope that you make this work, I would easily pay 200$ for a deck if there were a few games to choose from and a platform to build my own rulesets and cards and load them into the physical cards.
The selective pressures of your model reward dishonesty (under promise over deliver / make estimates as high as possible to mitigate downside and reduce pressure). Why is that making your team better?
If my estimates are padded to the point where I always complete what I commit to and my boss is happy with my output, what’s the problem? My boss gets value from being able to accurately convey estimates to clients, the client 9/10 gets the work done on time or maybe even gets a couple extra features completed in the same timeline, and I as the engineer, have a relaxed work environment, free of the stress of cramming every story point possible into 40 hours a week.
This might be okay in isolation, but eventually as the entire team of engineers start to underdeliver, the team and company does get affected in terms of feature rollouts / velocity, and it's difficult to recover from it. People won't want to suddenly correct / do more work even if it's crucial, and they can point to their previous underestimated commitments and say that is a full week's worth of work. YMMV as with anything, but not knowing a team's true velocity does affect planning and sales.
The actual work doesn't change, it just changes your point estimations. Either the boss is happy with the actual pace and quality of the work, in which case you don't need points to begin with, or the boss doesn't understand the difference between story points and actual time, in which case it's all a dog and pony show anyway.
All this teaches employees is to lie to make themselves look good. If you really want to increase development velocity, implement better coding practices and devops and tooling and training and invest in your employees instead of making jump through stupid hoops like circus animals.
I try to cut it early to stop wasting time, especially if its a small company and you will likely be working with that person. I had to do this twice out of 5 companies I interviewed at from YC a couple years back.
Weav (YC W20) | Backend Engineer | Full-time | Remote
At Weav, we’re building a universal API for integrating with businesses’ commerce platforms (e.g. Stripe, Square, Amazon).

We are looking for backend engineers who are interested in building a developer-centric product and are curious/excited about supporting the next generation of fintech. You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of your work from development to testing to deployment.
It was bad faith of DHH to say that posting the pyramid was meant to compare the list of names to genocide. The good faith interpretation would make it extremely clear that the employee was comparing the list of names to the lowest rung in the pyramid AKA the farthest removed from genocide. That rung is simply called "biased attitudes" and includes a wide span of things, none of them remotely comparable to genocide and several of them could be used to accurately represent the list. Eg. "Fear of differences", "Stereotypes", "Justifying biases by seeking out like minded people"
I don't really understand how or why DHH would construe that as "you're comparing a list of company names to genocide"
> The Pyramid shows biased behaviors, growing in complexity from the bottom to the top. Although the behaviors at each level negatively impact individuals and groups, as one moves up the pyramid, the behaviors have more life-threatening consequences. Like a pyramid, the upper levels are supported by the lower levels. If people or institutions treat behaviors on the lower levels as being acceptable or “normal,” it results in the behaviors at the next level becoming more accepted. In response to the questions of the world community about where the hate of genocide comes from, the Pyramid of Hate demonstrates that the hate of genocide is built upon the acceptance of behaviors described in the lower levels of the pyramid.
The point being made was that this is really bad because it’s a step on the way to genocide.
That’s what DHH said I believe.
And it would be in the context of trying to get the employee fired who made it.
Also the other co-founder is Jewish. So having someone bring up something like that is probably insulting.
I've banned this account for using HN primarily for political and ideological battle. We ban accounts that do that—regardless of what ideology they're battling for or against—because it's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for.
This is completely constructed in your mind. If you tried this vs any woman rated 100 points higher than you or more, this would be a death sentence. It has nothing to do with gender.
Avoiding the objectively best move just means you're making inaccuracies and blunders, giving the game away for free. Nobody above 1200 rating is going to be "afraid of their position" that is not a thing. Below 1200 rating, there may be people like that due to inexperience, but it would be across both genders IF it existed at all which I'm completely unconvinced of.
a couple of nuances make the remaining 3% a bit more difficult to get, two that I noticed is that the bot is bad at holding sustain notes and also tends to make mistakes during long hammer-on sections because it hits two notes at the same time instead of realizing that they are individual notes.
the second one is probably easy to fix by spreading the notes out a bit (hyperspeed mode) but the first one is a bit more annoying to program, probably
Agreed the sustained notes would be a bit of a programming annoyance, but if I had spent more time, I think I could have cracked it. I did get some MVP working for it but it was throwing some other things off, so I abandoned it in an effort to maximize accuracy.
I think it might be easy implementing sustain on any and all notes until the next note needs to be hit. So instead of press-release-wait you do press-wait-release.
