Who would spend even a minute for a unknown company called 'Qdrant' ? They would develop for Google because Google would give an additional value to their CV.

- minimaxir 3y agoThey recently raised a Series A: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39101682 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39101682 Additionally, the product that this Summer of Code is for is open-source so it's a win-win for everyone.
- jjtheblunt 3y agoI wonder if Google wants rights to what is developed in GSoC. If so, that might explain the lack of invitation.
- School-Cotton 3y ago> I wonder if Google wants rights to what is developed in GSoC. They don’t. I participated in GSoC working on something that competes directly with Google (LibreOffice) and was never asked to assign copyright or anything like that. IMO GSoC is a relatively cheap way for Google to get some goodwill and boost their brand among college students; it’s not really a core part of their competitive business strategy.
- jjtheblunt 3y agoThat's very cool then. Thanks for responding.

- olliej 3y agoYeah I think you’d take the GSoC so you could have qdrant and gsoc on your cv, but also many folk do need a job to pay bills, and even an “unknown” company paying bills and being experience on your CV is better than Walmart (in my case The Warehouse) [edit: s/Qurans/qdrant, sigh autocarrot]
- pooper 3y agoHow much are they paying? It is $current_year and at some point we should demand that all job postings (this is a job posting) should come with salary ranges at a minimum. Are they even compliant with the law with this post?
- olliej 3y agoI have no idea :-/
- LoganDark 3y ago> we should demand that all job postings (this is a job posting) should come with salary ranges at a minimum Agreed. Not even considering jobs that pay under 120k, not worth my time. The literal only reason to hide the range is so that you can lowball people
- rjsw 3y agoWhen other organizations have done this they just pay the same as Google.
- dannyw 3y agohttps://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/student-stipends https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/student-... It’s not a job. It’s an incentivised open source contribution program for college students.
- jjtheblunt 3y ago> ... unknown ... This is a resounding instance of "tell me you don't know the domain without telling me you don't know the domain" and I think you'll find them interesting if you look into it.
- throwaway5959 3y agoThis is an incredibly dumb comment that you should delete. Anyone even remotely aware of RAG, LLMs and vector databases has heard of Qdrant.
- bigstrat2003 3y agoThat was a dumb comment, but you are wrong. I am remotely aware of LLMs (how could one not be, in this day and age) and I have never heard of Qdrant.
- throwaway5959 3y agoI knew putting LLM in that list of pre-reqs would result in a comment like this. Oh well.
- cdelsolar 3y agoI am remotely aware of all the three things you listed (and have experimented a bit with them) and I haven't heard of them.
