Sadly, it happens more often than you would think. I would suggest keeping your hopes up for other companies that you can apply to, taking whatever learnings you can from this process, and move on.

Definitely ask for feedback from the previous company. Most companies provide feedback as to what went wrong.

Thanks for asking this question :)

Couple of them for me

1. Professionally: Moving to an awesome core tech team (chance to work with internals of a database)

2. Personally: Wrote a blog post which received very high attention here on HN... shameless plug (sorry):

3. Health wise: Successfully used internmittent fasting to lose 8KG, and then maintain it for 9 months straight.

4. Finally, if all goes well, a baby on the way in our family!

That's fantastic! Did you have a background working with database internals before?

A little, yes.

Congratulations ! Really motivating.

Thanks. Somehow I failed to create clickable links :(

Not your fault. It's impossible to do in the post description.

Yup. That was my inspiration, and sadly, I have been on the side as well where things started from scratch, and ended up blowing up couple of months later.

yes!

Is it? I did not know, sorry.

I wrote it as a praise. :) I agree with it 100%.

`jq` is great. Initially, I started with excel, which I exported as csv, which using `jq` I converted to JSON.

Why json and not csv? Strictier parsing by javascript.

To add to this, I found these resources great:

While I agree to certain extent, you still have these things in different shapes and sizes. Startup teams are a tight knit community in my experience, but as it scales, these aspects start to show their heads.
