hey (founder here), that shouldn't be happening, although this can take us some time (we get thousands of applications, although HN is a very high quality source) - could you email me james at our website.com? i'll double check wh

Ah it's my company's operating handbook not our product docs or marketing pages. Didn't expect to see this here so fast after we rewrote it recently! Regardless, I've made a PR to tighten up one of the titles that is con

we mainly do this because it can just help with getting PRs approved if we want to fix an issue in something we rely on (and it is nice / we can list as a perk), and a little influence can be very valuable if we want to give feedback o
