Great find. I noticed the photos disappeared yesterday, but didn't catch that footer reference change. Sadly, Ryan Hudson knows how to play the game and Pie (with its charming .org domain) is on a roll --- already hit 1M downloads just

Agreed. As a recruiter, it's a useful signal: If the company hasn't updated it within 2 weeks of the new year, I add it to my priority target list.

Yeah, it had a sketchy reputation before the acquisition - here's a 2019 HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21589352

Ryan Hudson, the founder of Honey, launched a new company that's already under scrutiny for similar practices: Pie.org (despite being for-profit). Founded in March 2024, it already hit 1M downloads and has 20+ employees/10+ Engine

Looks nice, but I'm lost. What do the colors represent? What do the axes #s represent?

What a bogus piece. He's not a Professor --- he's an entry-level Lecturer (started career there a year ago).

I began my career doing this (Deloitte Tax's Private Client Group). Yes, it is truly fascinating.

Nice! Another method is to go straight to the company's job post - searching words like "posted", "published", and "created" in the source code.

Ah, interesting - thanks for explaining!

Exactly - talk about a marketing backfire.

How'd you determine this? I've always been curious.

Interesting since I feel it should be the reverse, psychologically. Personally, my sole reason for drinking decaf is to avoid the caffeine's stimulant effects...so, I'm mentally expecting zero effects.

I think it's an aspirational purchase - startups are naturally aiming to be in that 1% one day.

Hey Ben - the URL directs to https://sumble.com/orgs and requires creating an account to continue - is there another way to access your website? Also, do you have links to the job posts? Thanks!

Based on their LinkedIn profiles (I found 6, 5 of which are Engineers): - Nobody went to an Ivy League school. - Ben and Anthony only joined Google by way of acquisition; they co-founded Kaggle. Otherwise, one Engineer came from F.

Timely - Amazon Prime rolled out its "forever" free GrubHub delivery service yesterday.

I loved your podcasts, Nick - as a tech recruiter with zero tech background, you really helped me better grasp what my clients/candidates actually do. Any plans to get back into it?

I disagree. Phoenix has the perfect climate for self-driving cars. It will require a major technological leap in order for them to succeed in the "real world" (fog, rain, snow, etc).

It's cool, but how can it make money competing with the countless free job search tools? What's your differentiator?

Yes and no. Western Europe's economic, tax, regulatory, and social welfare systems are a positive and negative, depending on who you ask. Compared to the US, only a small segment of the population is either very poor or very rich. Ever
