thelab (https://www.thelab.co) | Senior Backend Engineer | ONSITE (NYC) or REMOTE (US) | Full-Time
We are looking for two experienced back-end engineers: (1) one to lead work with our client’s e-commerce business; (2) a second to be part of a small team working on a greenfield project involving ML and NLP driven workflow automation tools. The ideal candidate would have experience working with large Python and Typescript codebases. We are looking for someone who is self-motivated and is able to work with a team early on in a project, plan and identify requirements, see a project through to completion, and mentor junior members of the team along the way.

Implementation details aside (React??), that sounds exactly like “just a TUI”…

Same here. Even the small motors were expensive at the time. One winter my dad and I figured out how to make our own—rolled the casing out of packing tape, poured the end plug from (I think) Durham‘s rock-hard water putty, then filled with fuel made from a mixture of black powder, sugar, and salt peter. The next summer, getting to use up all the engines we’d stockpiled, was glorious.

I’ve tried. For it to be at all viable on my property, I’d need to cut down a bunch of trees. I’d rather keep the trees and pay someone else with solar panels.

That’s true, but still doesn’t always make heat pumps the most cost effective choice to operate. For example, last winter I paid an average of $0.24/kWh for electricity vs $0.05/kWh for natural gas. Even if a heat pump had a perfect 4.0 COP all winter, gas would be ~15% cheaper. Electricity prices really need to come down before it will be viable for everyone.

One point of annecdata to backup your figures: I traded my 2018 Accord (7.5 years old, 97k miles) this past weekend, was offered $11k and negotiated them up to $15k. So, trade ins are definitely worth more than nothing.

Python type hints are hugely valuable both as a means of correctness checking, but also just as a means of documentation. It strikes me as incredibly shortsighted to say you can forget about types just because it’s a dynamic language. The types are absolutely still there and need thought about. They just aren’t defined or used in terms of allocation and management of memory.

I’ve definitely had exactly that sort of looping work with Zed, as long as I tell it how to run the tests. Are you perhaps not using one of the “thinking” models?

All this is going to do is drive AI companies to mask their user agent to appear as a standard browser, resulting in a worse end state than we’re in now. It’s an exercise in futility.

Honestly the same is true for human devs. As frustrating as strict linting can be for newer devs, it’s way less frustrating than having all the same issues pointed out in code review. That’s interesting because I’ve been finding that all sorts of stuff that’s good for AI is actually good for humans too, linting, fast easy to run tests, standardized code layouts, etc. Humans just have more ability to adapt to oddities at the moment, which leads to slack.

Luxury. My washer and dryer both display numbers the appear to be minutes remaining, but do not tick down with any discernible relation to time. They start around 55, then over the course of 90 minutes decrement down to 10 in random steps. Then it hangs at 10 for another 10-20 mins, then eventually goes to 0 and shuts off. Are these supposed to be minutes? Is there any reason for their disconnection from the passage of time? Who knows? The manual certainly doesn’t say.

A lot of that market is going to iPads, nowadays, too
