> Claude Code hooks are user-defined shell commands that execute at various points in Claude Code's lifecycle. Hooks provide deterministic control over Claude Code's behavior, ensuring certain actions always happen rather than relying on the LLM to choose to run them.

Claude Code released hooks a few days ago, and I set up a few hooks to improve my experience (and velocity) using Claude Code:

• check-package-age.sh: prevents CC from installing outdated packages • code-quality-primer.sh / code-quality-validator.sh: Validates code quality • code-similarity-check.sh: Helps prevent duplicate code (and uses an indexer to support faster method lookup) • pre-commit-check.sh: Blocks bad commits with lint/test checks • claude-context-updater.sh: Auto-updates CLAUDE.md to keep context fresh (and helps CC navigate the codebase faster)

To help me debug that the hooks were running, I added (local) logging, and I can see stats on the hooks that have run.

I tend to add a new hook when I notice CC not behaving as I want. I've got a backlog of hooks to add.

This is mostly functional, though before it being 'perfect' I figured I'd put it out here to get input and maybe some other contributors.

I have an O-1 with my current company where I’m a software engineer and not a founder. When I’m ready to leave to start my next business, what are my options to transfer it over? What would I need in place?

Hi Peter. Thanks for your prior help in our email dialog years ago about an e2.

If I’ve received my O-1 but I haven’t started working at the company yet, can I still travel to the US on my O-1 while working remotely for a canadian company?

Their PR just helps delay when those documents are discovered

> Note that Facebook does not have the choice to agree.

To the requests made so far, you are correct.

Depositions and subpoenas would change that. And if you know who to ask inside FB, there are some ugly skeletons in their closet.

They have done causal research and they have hidden it from FBers asking for results of the study.

Members from the well-being team tried to conduct research but was refused do to it because of “legal and PR” reasons. The well-being team was shut down.

All this will come out in lawsuits if/when they happen. Likely through attorney generals and not individuals.

Agreed. I’ve seen Levels Health in their recruiting process do this and some founders in pitch decks.

I’m looking for a startup that has de-risked their product and distribution. Series-A is usually a signal of that.

Hi, I'm Dan.

  Location: San Francisco | Remote | No relocation
  Technologies: node, react, vue, swift, python, mongo and open to learning more.
  Résumé/CV: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BcGPFWgpamRXXBXXxMSXHxlrvKE6eH2I

WHY TO HIRE DAN:

  Former founder, both iOS apps I've worked on were featured on the front page of the App Store globally, used by 300k+ people
  3 yrs as a full stack product engineer and 2 yr managing engineers
  Strong desire to level up as an engineer, and very receptive to feedback
  My highest personal value is awareness, which extrapolates into every part of my personal and professional life - I'm a mindfulness nerd.

WHY NOT TO HIRE DAN:

  You're looking for someone with strong systems design and architecture experience. Most of my experience is working within a pre-existing architecture (front and back end) and building front-end features and their corresponding end-points 
  I don't have experience working with an engineering team larger than 4 people
  You don't have capacity to have a pair programming session once a week with me to help me level-up as an engineer
  You're looking for a senior engineer
  You expect the engineer to be highly proficient with SQL or GraphQL vs. learning on the job
  You haven't raised a series-a yet (or on a strong trajectory to do so)

During my time interviewing for my FT first role as a non-founder, I've been asking the engineering leaders this question. A few responses so far:

* Proactively take on projects, don’t wait for someone to give a perfectly scoped out task.

* When things go down, the engineer doesn’t shut down, they tackle the challenge logically, and will also reach out for help appropriately.

* Hunger to learn

* Go above expectations to fixes systems or builds things that makes it easier for engineers or other teams to operate.

Location: SF Remote: yes Relocate: unlikely Technologies: node, react, vue, swift, and open to learning more. Resume: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v4oirwk9cy8ahfz/Dan%20Seider%20Res... Email: in resume Why me? Former technical founder so I’m used taking a lot of ownership. A strong product sense: both apps I led and worked on were featured by Apple globally. Hungry to learn.

Why not me? I’m not a senior engineer and I’m looking for a place that can offer some mentorship and the occasional pair programming session, so if you can’t offer that, we’re unlikely a fit.

I made a journaling app to help improve my self-awareness / emotional intelligence. It's a micro-journal (<140 character entries). Because each entry is associated with a mood we're able to share some reflective insights. It's being beta'd now @ www.getstigma.com
