I also noticed recently they changed their design completely. Instead of browsing your board and the things you pinned in the past, what you're now shown are completely unrelated items that you might want to add to your board, and most of these are things you can buy from other shopping sites.
I remember reading a history of YouTube once, and early on they were about to go under from the sheer weight of music industry copyright lawsuits and the cost of bandwidth. Google had the technology, heft and resources to do infringement detection at scale to really save them, not to mention their global bandwidth.
What did the Irish government do to entitle itself to a chunk of the appreciation of your equity portfolio of presumably non-Irish companies? What did they do to contribute to that equity growth?
Even more of an argument for free sideloading then. Ping your friends a URL, they click it and can install your app. All without the need for an App Store.
Carebit | Full Stack Support Engineer (Ruby on Rails, TypeScript/JS, React, Postgres, Linux) | Fully Remote (European timezones only) | Full-Time - Up To £80k/$100k/year DOE
About Carebit
[Carebit](http://www.carebit.co) is a young, design-led healthcare technology company helping over 1500 private doctors across the UK run their practices more effectively and efficiently with our web and mobile platform, along with hundreds of thousands of their patients. For too long, medical software has been clunky, user-hostile and complicated, and we are changing that. Several customers have independently described us as ’the Apple of practice management software’.
We are a bootstrapped, profitable and remote-first company of 30 people with 6 full stack engineers including the company’s founder, Dominic. Having been remote from day 1, we fully believe in its benefits. We do have a lovely office in London by the river for in-person collaboration when required, but this is not mandatory as we know some like in-person working and some prefer fully remote!
About you
We’re looking for a Senior Support Engineer to work with our Support and Data Migration teams for day to day work troubleshooting and resolving technical customer issues. We’re specifically after someone who is curious, experienced and enjoys investigating and solving technical issues that vary from fixing simple bugs to small tweaks to existing features (e.g. adding a new column to a CSV export) to writing Ruby scripts to execute changes after a data migration to Carebit.
You’ll likely have a strong software development background already. This is a hands-on role where you’ll be regularly shipping fixes and improvements to the core Carebit platform as well.
- Strong experience with Ruby on Rails and React, especially design patterns (we use Rails 7 and Ruby 3.4 with Postgres 17, deployed to AWS ECS)
- Bonus points for Linux/sysadmin and Postgres knowledge
- Fluent in written and verbal English and an excellent, timely communicator - especially with customers
- Self-disciplined, autonomous, motivated, and able to manage concurrent tasks
This is a fully remote role but we operate on London, UK time and so are only considering candidates in GMT/BST ±3 time zones who are willing to work to UK hours (typically 9am-5.30pm)
Please email CVs to hiring[[at]]carebit dot co if you’re interested in learning more!
It's the terrible standard library of JS that keeps me with Ruby. Rails makes it even better. Being able to write little things like 3.days.from_now to get a timestamp is great.
Carebit is a young, design-led healthcare technology company helping over a thousand private doctors across the UK run their practices more effectively and efficiently with our web and mobile platform. We're looking for a design and product-focussed, Senior React Native developer to help us build out our existing published React Native app, written in TypeScript. Bonus points for design skills and native iOS/Android experience.
We are a bootstrapped, profitable and remote-first company of 20 with a small office in London, UK - welcome to come and work here if UK based, otherwise this is a fully remote position between UTC and UTC+4.
No we don’t need to pay billions. There are moves afoot in the UK to do direct bank to bank payments with Open Banking. HMRC (the UK tax authority) has been doing this for years. When I pay my tax bill, I select my bank, scan a QR code with my phone, that launches my banking app, I authorise the payment and off it goes in just a few seconds. Instant and a few pence, even for thousands of pounds. This particular implementation is provided by Ecospend but there are a few other companies offering this same service now in the UK.
I agree with the OP, Visa and MC charging so much is just insane when you think about it. It’s more expensive AND settlement times are days, not seconds. The only barrier is consumer awareness and detrimental UK legislation forbidding card fees to be added to bills which while well intentioned completely ruins any competition on payment methods.
