- You enjoy building features end-to-end.
- You have previous startup experience: you've designed, built, and maintained production systems going from 0 to 1.
- You have a strong grasp of engineering fundamentals.
- You are excited about being a part of an early-stage team and setting the long-term vision of the organization.
About the role: - You will work closely with our educators, designer, and head of product to define and build delightful product experiences.
- We interact with our users almost every day, and you'll meet lots of students, teachers, and parents. Trust us, you'll see how your work makes a real difference.
- You will get a chance to set the foundations of our engineering culture and grow with the company. You will help refine our engineering principles and have opportunities for impact beyond your engineering work.
- We are a small team that gets a lot done well. This is not a cushy 9-5 job - at the same time we do know how to pace the work and take care of ourselves.
Tech stack: - typescript, nodejs, graphql, prisma, nextjs, react, relay.
- render, cloudflare, cloudinary, stripe, logrocket, chatgpt, metabase.
We love our setup and are sure you will too. Skim Sections 1 and 2. You should understand the basics of the Therac-25's design and how it was used. (You may also find this figure a helpful accompaniment to Figure 1 on page 4.)
Skim Sections 3.1-3.3, which detail a few of the Therac-25 incidents.
Read Sections 3.4 and 3.5. These detail a particular incident, the software bug that led to it, and the response to the bug. Pay close attention to 3.5.3, which describes the bug.
Skip Section 3.6. (It describes an additional incident and a different bug—feel free to read if you are interested, though)
Read Section 4 closely.

They come to the same conclusion as Dan - that Ballmer did a ton of things right and he was actually a much better CEO than the credit he's given today.
Part 1 of the podcast focuses on Bill Gates' era - both episodes are super engaging, the research and preparation they do is remarkably good.
