We're a construction payment management SaaS based in Ireland. Main contractors and subcontractors use us to track subcontracts, payment applications, and retentions — replacing the spreadsheets they currently rely on. Small team of 5 (3 in engineering), customers in Ireland and the UK.
We're hiring our 3rd engineer. You'd own features end-to-end alongside our two existing engineers. Async-first, fully remote, real product ownership.
What we want:
- 5+ years shipping Rails in production
- Daily Claude Code or Codex user with a real workflow, your own skills/hooks/commands, opinions on when to override the agent, habit of reviewing AI output as critically as a junior PR
- Strong written English, calm under customer-facing pressure
Apply: [email protected] please share your resume and a one paragraph note on your AI workflow (tools, skills, hooks, or commands you've built). https://trak-pro.com
There's something odd about the pricing in the invoice, I assume you are doing per second billing? I ran a test instance for a few mins and this is what I see in the invoice:
CPU Usage - Intel Xeon v3 1.5333 hours $0.044467
Storage Usage - NVMe 3.3333 hours $0.000333
Public IP Address 0.4000 hours $0.002200
The price seems to be ok but the units are way off.
Here are some feedback/questions:
1. I was logged in via ssh and when I tried the web shell it kicked me and the machine went unreachable.
2. How can I restrict who can access my machine? There is no allowed IPs section.
3. Can I upload my ssh-key somewhere and use that as a default whenever I launch an instance?
4. Why do I even have images section when I can't take a snapshot and keep it as a image? This would be very handy so that I don't need to repeat the basic setup of my instances.
5. Can I have a auto shutdown based on time? I don't want to accidentally leave my machine running and rake up a huge cost.
I use AWS EC2 for various side projects and experiments. A while back, I forgot to shut down an instance and didn’t realize until I got a pretty hefty bill at the end of the month.
To avoid this in the future, I built a simple CLI tool called Autostopper. It automatically stops your EC2 instances after a set duration, so you don't have to worry about leaving them running longer than you need. It’s free and open source, and I figured others might find it useful too.
What an amazing tool! Certainly going to integrate into some of my codebases. I am actually fascinated by your charts, would you mind sharing which library did you use? I would love to use that in some of my personal projects.
This is great. Out of curiosity, why not just wrap this as a standalone addon? Not questioning your decision btw, just thinking that the current approach may increase your hosting cost, no?
Absolutely! I am not a mathematician but enjoyed Maths thoroughly during my school and college. Especially differential calculus and discrete maths during school, and probability & statistics during my college.
Very good list! I have been using the simple http server for a very long time now, but never knew about the other ones. Xonsh looks amazing, definitely going to add it to my repertoire. Thanks for that.
This is tremendously helpful. I can use one of the ideas in hear to experiment with new programming languages! Thanks very much for putting this together.
"it might stand to dethrone the venerable Flurry screensaver" - You are absolutely right. The first time I saw the screensaver, I was completely mesmerized and watched it for a few minutes before getting back to work.
Out of curiosity, why Rust? Not saying anything against it, just looking to understand your take on it.
