Is the long-term pricing model seat/usage based? Value based? Consider how much you want/need to be charging customers in 3-5 years time and work backwards from there. Be open with early customers on these prices. Offer discounts

This thread on Elixir Forum is a good read if you are considering building agents with Elixir. Jido's author weighs in also. https://elixirforum.com/t/is-anyone-working-on-ai-agents-in-...

This appears to be true remote (I.e., globally remote) as long as you are willing/able to have 4 hours overlap with US working hours per day

According to Wikipedia[1] it looks like the rebranding effort from Swagger -> OpenAPI was in November 2015, but the OpenAPI Specification was only officially renamed on 1st January 2016. OpenAI was founded on 10th December 2015. So it de

OpenAPI predates OpenAI by quite some time. OpenAI has adopted usage of OpenAPI. I do find myself accidentally saying one and meaning the other, in both directions too!

If you don't already know a tech stack, I'd recommend Elixir & Phoenix (incl. LiveView). If you DO already know a tech stack then use that one!

Forcing consistent language, runtime, tooling etc is generally a good thing as it reduces ongoing operational burden as well as some retention & hiring dilemmas.

Have you tried supabase?

It looks fantastic, as does the whole product. I’ve been hoping for someone to make a good bank-in-a-box for a long time. Good luck!

Thanks Ryan, I'd definitely be keen to see what insights you glean from that data, and I am also interested to hear which other YC startups hire global-remotely as I'll add them to my site :)

I think most "remotes" are within time zone-proximity. The employment regulation burden is also massive for going truly global-remote. Australia and NZ for example have strong employment laws AND do not overlap time zone-wise with

Stock buybacks are (generally) done by companies when they think their stock is undervalued. Stock buybacks destroy the quantity of shares that are bought by the company. E.g., if a company had 1,000 shares outstanding and bought back 100 o

OP here. I've recently departed Amazon to pursue building my own ideas. I decided to share some of my learnings as I go via substack - here's my first article :) I am very keen to hear any thoughts or feedback you may have! Cheers

This seems like a good approach (acknowledging it limits you to only comments from reddit/twitter users). How do you embed the posts so it shows # of replies?

Most people won't post about it though. I had this exact issue (replaced the left airpod 2 weeks ago) but hadn't posted about it. Until this post, anyway!

The redesign for Big Sur leads me to believe this is the direction they are heading. It has a "made for touch" look.

Python & Django because you already know python. If you want to learn something new I'd suggest Elixir & Phoenix, Phoenix's new LiveView capabilities are pretty incredible.

I'd assume they would keep total cost to Facebook roughly similar, which depending on the state you move to it might result in less take home pay for the employee?

I'm constantly witnessing silly political battles, regardless of whether I have skin in the game. If you've ever done consulting work and joined a project midway through you'll immediately receive a healthy dose of it.

What are you aiming to build? Without any additional detail I can say Elixir fits your criteria but may not be what you actually need! It's beginner friendly in my experience, cross-platform, and is a functional programming language wh
