What you say makes sense, but I think there can be reasons. For our military customers we offer an air-gapped version of our app early on because it was easier for customers than getting an ATO. Also as a bootstrapped company it was a lot cheaper than FedRAMP. I'm guessing I'd lean on a similar strategy if I had a health care startup.

SOFware | Remote (US) | Full-Time | https://sofwarellc.com/
I am the Director of Product Engineering at SOFware. We are a fully remote, small and profitable software company founded by a retired Navy SEAL turned Ruby on Rails dev. We serve the most elite units in Special Operations and Law Enforcement communities. We have a SaaS product for Assessment and Selection and Talent Management, (e.g. software for the selectors who decide who gets to be an operator plus ongoing measurement of individual performance once selected). We also staff and run traditional butts-in-seats DoD contracts for a few government-owned apps that we created, run and maintain.
If you're an experienced Ruby on Rails developer interested in working on hard, important technical problems for special operations and other military units we'd love to talk. If you're not so experienced but have a background in any of these communities please reach out anyway!
We are currently hiring for one position for a senior Ruby on Rails dev, details are here: https://sofwarellc.com/careers.html
If you have any questions I'm sean.fioritto at our domain.

SOFware LLC | Software Engineers | REMOTE (USA)| Full-Time
For the past 10 years we’ve helped in the selection and assessment of candidates involved in Elite Special Operations Forces and Federal Law Enforcement. We help deep select the best and put them in positions of leadership faster.
Our core team consists of Engineers and Former Operators. Some are both!
Our main technology stack is Ruby/Rails with some front end pieces built in React or Stimulus depending on the lift.
We believe in the strong link between developer productivity and happiness. So we encourage building tools to prevent mind numbing tasks: DSLs, Generators, and Scripts. We’re also big on collaborating. If you tend to be “married to your code” this role isn’t for you.
We work strictly remote but do sometimes send our developers onsite to interact with our analysts and users. We want to be sure everyone is understanding/building what the user needs.
Other benefits:
— Medical/Dental/yadda yadda
— Disability
— Life insurance
— 401(k) after three months of employment
— Company-provided laptop and home office allowance
— Federal holidays plus liberal PTO policy
You can check out our website but it’s dated and built to target DoD offices. https://sofwarellc.com/

This position requires proof of vaccination to be provided by the date of hire, unless an accommodation request has been provided and granted pursuant to federal law.
SOFware LLC is an Equal Opportunity employer

This book is awesome! Really glad to see someone mentioned it. It has just enough about design so you can make something that doesn't look terrible. :-)

Honestly, hadn't thought about accessibility. Thank you for bringing it up! I'm going to start looking into captioning services.

Been lurking on HN forever, this is my first Show HN. This is my second product, the first was a book for web designers.
I used to run a meetup group for developers with side projects. We were all there for the same reason: we love programming and our jobs were not a great outlet for creativity or challenge.
This is basically a reaction to the fact that most of us never actually finished a side project, and most of us are still stuck in the same situation at work. :-(
