Buildforce (https://www.buildforce.com) | Staff Product Engineer | Austin, TX (Onsite/Hybrid)

Buildforce is a skilled trade staffing marketplace facilitating connections between subcontractors and tradespeople.

Our products include a mobile app (RN), a NextJS app, and a GraphQL/Typescript API. We've been around for 5 years and we have a Product & Eng org of 5 including myself. We're well-funded and business is going great.

We're looking to add 1 more senior/staff member to the team. We are a product-minded group of engineers, and startup experience a huge plus.

You'll be in-office for at least a couple days a week, WFH the rest.

It's a good first shot, although a lot of the feedback provided by HNers seems to be on point.

It's funny that it only took a few months to get sick of the Twitter Bootstrap look, felt like it took a year to get sick of the 37Signals/Basecamp rip offs.

This only proves a bubble if they bring in $20 million of funding from Andreessen-Horowitz.

Typically, "upgrade your browser" techniques are welcomed in HN. Google drops support for IE6, then IE7 - smiles all around. Apps block off IE6 - "good for them".

AT&T does something similar and it's met with frustration?

Requiring IE* should be frowned upon. But anything that says "upgrade from IE6", in end-user land, is probably a good thing.

I wonder if anybody at Sony has come up with the conclusion that it's always going to get hacked, and the money they spend trying to secure it(along with the bad press) could be better focused in other areas of the company.

dimarco | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN/PG: Why are comments being paginated?

Couldn't people take advantage of this by only commenting on high-karma comments, regardless of whether or not it's relevant to the parent-comment, but instead just piggy-backing to stay on the first page?

It would probably be pretty confusing, especially considering most people don't read much text on the page(like the text that might say "Correct this...")
