"Even shooting around what new college grads are getting would be fine ($120-140k)" Wait, what ? Other than may be Silicon Valley or NYC (and thats a stretch), where would a new college grad get $120-140K in America ? Where ?

Side question. Why not do a Launch HN instead of Show HN since you are backed by YC ? I thought YC companies can do a launch HN?

Legacy or not, I don't consider anyone really senior unless they have spent building and more importantly maintaining/fixing a system at least for 3-5 years at one single place and have done this at least 2-3 times across differen

Very honest Landing Page. If anyone is interested in self hosting their own emails, I have found mailinabox to be a useful start: https://mailinabox.email/ https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox

Could be for phishing. Is the SAAS in a domain that involves money (payments/crypto etc) ? Then even more likely so. I would drop those redirects at my webserver level. Easy to d0.

This is the unfortunate cost of spam. I can totally understand why most services try and filter out disposable emails or at least emails that look disposable. It is far from a perfect system but unless spam and abuse is 100% solved, this is

I have used hivelocity for a few servers over the last 10 years and overall has been solid. Their support used to be much better than recently as they grew and became much bigger but they are still decent with support. I can definitely reco

"Preferably using shadcn/react/supabase. I don't want to reinvent the wheel here." Respectfully, you don't need supabase for a landing page with waitlist especially when you don't want to reinvest the whee

This is a really shitty move by Google. Not happy at all. I don't want to use Gemini or any other AI crap they throw at us. Specially that we had a contract and they are increasing the price during the contract without us having any sa

You seem to be doing this in good faith but honestly, there is no difference between 'Discovery Call" and a "Sales Call". The point is that the customer has to speak with someone first. I do think it is required for ente

Did the author forget to take "Schedule a Call" button from their pricing page if you drag the slider all the way to the right ? :) Kinda contradicts the entire post.

Not necessarily. You can keep the scope limited and then it's possible. I built my own blog engine in Go with pure Go templates, Markdown input and a mysql db. It can build to static files or just host directly on a VPS. I now run my

So we compromised on giving them devices/phones (with restricted access) but in return, got them to agree that they will not use social media of any kind at least until 18. I think it is very difficult in today's world to prohibit

Yes. I don't write for others though. I write because: - It helps me gather my thoughts together and reflect on where I am. - It helps me get better at writing and communicating. - It helps me stay accountable for a few things. I like

SO true. I am having a midlife sort of crisis myself (lost as a founder a bit) but my kids keep me going with a purpose. When you have kids, you don't have the luxury of not doing anything.

What a comedy of errors. So they screw over their paying customers without any notice and now suddenly they are acquired ? I love capitalism but the way Bench handled this is a disaster and left so many customers unsure of what to do. Espec

Yes but now you need these agencies to prescreen for you which is a very expensive and time consuming process. Also, I have used some before and not all agencies are worth the time or money. Most of them are glorified Keyword scanners.

Really good point. But the issue is that some job sites (indeed for example) wants you to pay to play. If you reduce the sponsorship or daily cost, the resume count also goes down. But regardless, I have seen the same. 1st few days are nigh

Agreed. Both sides are bad. Most of these "bots" are useless and do a terrible job. I have seen that side as well. Many years ago, I was applying at IBM (don't ask) for a role and the recruiter told me that the online portal

The downside is that if all candidates are thinking like you, you are now hoping that the hiring team can sort through 100s of garbage Resumes to may be find you who may be a good fit. Your odds of being called for Round 1 is now much lower
