Ask HN: Are there any companies doing good work in this space?
I'm looking for a new gig and have been shocked at how few companies seem to understand the types of solutions that stand a chance at making a difference re: these sorts of problems.
This would be a cool metric to use in various analyses. It's a number that's guaranteed to be shrinking fast in today's world and I'd bet there's a quality-of-life benefit to be had by trying to optimize for growing it rather than shrinking it.
Hey everyone, I just wanted to say thank you for all the feedback. I'm slowly working my way through everything and finding it all extremely helpful. I'll make sure to document the changes that have been made in response to this discussion.
As an aside, I realized when I logged into this account to post that I created my Hackernews account over a decade ago, and scrolling through my post history and coming across the multiple Show HN news posts I've done throughout that time, thinking about the successes and failures I've had with those old projects, and realizing that this community has been here the whole damn time, being as generous and constructive and open-minded as it ever was... that's really cool.
Thank you everyone for being part of one of the best communities on the entire internet. Y'all are too good.
Thank you! You've got some good principles laid out in the about page re. how creativity strikes right there while you're editing, so would be interesting to see how to you tackle that challenge
