Join | Sr/Staff Golang/DB Developer | Remote (USA, Canada) | full-time | $175k – $205k/yr + equity

Hey, I'm an engineering manager at Join. We build collaboration tools for huge construction projects: think stadiums, hospitals, research facilities, etc. Our customers (GCs) love us and their customers (owners) love us so we're getting cool network effects out of that.

I'm looking for a senior/staff Golang/DB developer who has a bunch of tools in their belt, knows their tradeoffs, and /wants/ to share their knowledge with midlevels and help them avoid some of the scars you've accumulated over the years. :)

The full job description (along with my email) is at https://join.build/company/careers-sse/

If you're curious about anything, either reply or email me.


This was one of the biggest "oh shit" moments I had when learning Remix: I could reuse the same validators across front and backend and they could even be right there in the same file.


> Actually it would sort of be nice if these frameworks could be coded such that if I have JavaScript shut off, it just runs the code elsewhere and sends me the site.

Remix does!

Actually, most (all?) of the major frameworks will do SSR on pageload and only use client-side rendering for re-renders. But yeah, Remix will do exactly what you're asking for and force you to do full-page refreshes without JS. If that's what you really want.


Nice! This seems like a reasonable compromise.


Reading the code is a joy. I love seeing different approaches to what we all take as givens, such as design.css rather than style.css, or the usage of an `else if (1 == 1)` compared to `else` or even `else if (true)`.

(So I guess, thanks for not teaching her about bundlers and minifiers yet :))


One reason programmers do this is so that they can make a one character change, e.g. "else if (1 === 1)" -> "else if (1 === 2)" in order to change the logic there. For C programers you see a lot of '#if 0' '#if 1' for this same purpose. Though, given that it's used everywhere, I'm not sure if it's really for that purpose.


I’m a big fan of tacking on “&& false” or “|| true” as well.


Looks like the developer is aware there may be limitations.

Hopefully a new version will be released free of charge for current customers.


Oh, there is a readable JavaScript inside!


In the article, one of the lawyers quoted states that "enforced compliance is the hallmark feature of any cartel."

Is that part of the legal requirements for a guilty judgement or breaking up a cartel? In the US at least? Would RealPage be fine if they treat their recommended prices as mere suggestions?


eBay does the same thing but only as suggestions. I feel like it would be very different if they weren’t just suggestions.


There is also a difference between suggesting a price to an uninformed, individual participant vs. highly informed participants that control large segments of the market.


Oh /that's/ where David Chang got the name Momofuku from...? Interesting!


Yep. It also means "lucky peach", which has a lot of positive connotations in Japan. But the original ramen place name was a nod to the inventor.


No, his name was 百福 which means "hundred fortunes". "Lucky peach" would be written as 桃福。

"Momo" can also mean "thigh", but then again that is a different character (腿/股). The most confusing part about languages influenced by Chinese, and the reason/excuse to keep using Chinese characters, is the high amount of homophones. Example for "momo": https://jisho.org/search/%E3%82%82%E3%82%82


I was thinking the same thing!


This site turned my phone into a radiator (and knocked off four percent of battery), so it’s just stuffed to the gills with this stuff.


> Using this "cross-verified database," we find that music stars have one of the shortest lifespans of any profession, with an expectancy comparable to boxers, military figures, and race car drivers.

Although according to the chart directly below, the life expectancy is more comparable to chess players and poets. Probably isn't as fun a sentence to write though.


Disagree. A profession lasts for how much time you receive money for your activity. Music stars receive money for their songs during their entire lives (and part of the lives of their children).


depends how much you receive. If they receive the same amount of money you might expect someone to get if they are picking up cans they see laying about and recycling them then I don't think it really applies as a profession.


Waiting for the yearly royalties of your songs is different than picking cans because it don't require any effort. All free money is still money. And in the long term still would be much more that a scientist receives for publishing an article.

Stardom duration is also relative as you are always losing fans and earning new fans. Is more like an echo machine. A good videoclip is paid once but the people will want to watch it for decades.


>Waiting for the yearly royalties of your songs is different than picking cans because it don't require any effort.

is this one of those xkcd mentos moments here? You are not familiar with any situations where artists have been screwed out of royalties, underpaid, lied to etc. and have to spend time with lawyers to get their loyalties.

Given the well known financial reporting patterns of the various media industries any artist who does not put any effort into getting their royalties is an artist who essentially does not get their royalties.

>Stardom duration is also relative as you are always losing fans and earning new fans.

I mean you are saying these things but they seem to go against the data in this study as well as the data provided by people who also make references to their experience in the relevant industries - do you have any data and or experience to back this up or are these just your opinions of how it must work based on reasoning about the problem using nothing but logic to derive a conclusion?

Because I too would expect it works the way you say, but I would default to expertise of others who say no you are misinformed about how the situation is in our industry - discounting outliers like Taylor Swift.


You're not wrong lol


People put valuations on lives all the time in risk analysis and I've never seen a cost even close to $100m.

DOT puts it at 13.2m: https://www.transportation.gov/office-policy/transportation-...


Factor in the PR impact on the entire space program given the public visibility.

We've never had an astronaut crew get stranded on the moon. though we got close with Apollo 13. If/when that happens for the first time, you'd better believe the entire planet will be paying attention.

Just the congressional inquiries alone will set the space program back by decades.


This. It seems average Americans, including average hn commenters, have their future outlook confined to the next fiscal quarter.


Astronauts are very visible deaths for politicians whose currency is points in the polls. Having your photo not show up on the news next to a photo of a dead square-jawed captain america astronaut is probably worth 100m of other peoples money.


They wouldn't be "astronauts". They'd be cargo.


Finding someone who agrees to go to the moon with a risk of 1 out 2 of dying, and 1 of 2 of becoming a historical hero is really doable.

Plenty of volunteers, and no need for 100M USD.

People go to war for less than 50K USD.


The city I'm from, there are people who'll kill for USD equivalent of $100. That does not mean we should encourage it.


The odds of dying in a war are less than 1 in 2, and for joining the military in general it is far far less.


?! I was like, "oh really?" and I checked... you're right, "a German soldier had approximately a 1 in 3 chance of dying during the WW2 conflict"

Dying to protect a political system vs dying to advance science, better pick science.


And that is an exceptional example. For most modern wars or major conflicts it's nowhere near as bad as 1 in 3.


In WWII young men volunteered to join RAF bomber crews and faced an almost 1-in-2 chance of dying, with a far higher chance of getting wounded or captured.


Thats for the average person - whats the cost to replace the average astronaut? I've seen estimates that it costs $15M just to train 1 astronaut, and the pool of qualified candidates is likely extremely small. I would figure a guess of $100M per astronaut is not unreasonable.
