I'm no Meta apologist, but I don't know if we can blame them on this one. Unfortunately in the digital age, everything reverts to the mean so quickly. It probably turns out that the most effective way to capture user attention is to give them an algo feed of addictive slop.

Unfortunately capturing user attention is also the best way to sell advertising, so it makes sense that all their products converged on algo feeds.

Is this true? I've tried for months to get people to talk to me about their problems and the most common answer I get is "everything's... fine?".

We use AI to help healthcare providers enroll with insurance networks so they can start billing. We've been growing quickly and are almost at the point of turning away customers because we don't have enough engineering capacity to service them. We're looking for our second engineer who will focus on customer-facing product features to help wrangle the frustrating and complex world of healthcare administration.

This person will have a hand in all of our core systems, interact closely with our customers and their pain points, and work with an ex-FAANG, ex-YC engineering team.

This role is on-site only in NYC.

YMMV but the one hedge fund offer I got required putting 50% of the bonus into the fund itself, which then vests out over 4 years. I was told this is industry standard, so it's analogous to the 4 year RSU vesting you'd get at FAANG.

What negative selection does it result in? For people that can't network to a co-founder themselves?

My understanding is that the standard deal is more like $2MM at 20%. Raising that at 5% is an insanely good ideal.

What would be the correct way to set up security to prevent this?
