After 9 years of blood and sweat building a platform that annually powers:

- $2,000,000,000,000+ in transactions - 500M+ humans globally - More API calls than Google does searches - JP Morgan, Fidelity, Robinhood and more

we realized our globally scaled infra engine was perfectly constructed to offer ultra low latency, low cost inference

happy to answer questions

Been following this project for a while. Cool to see them launching a cross platform app builder. Excited to try it out!

Ah yeah we didn't add a link for that because we wanted people to put their real companies (and not see them and change it). You can set your company here: therealsfmap.com/company

Hmm this is probably because your friend hasn't set their company. Message me - nikilster [at] gmail - happy to help look into it!

Hmm okay good question -

1. We wanted to keep it simple (1 login vs 2) 2. We thought that in general people care more about their facebook friends than their linkedin friends (contacts?) so we chose fb instead of linkedin. 3. LinkedIn also locked down their api so you can't get contacts unless they are also on the app.

This was super fun to make - hope you enjoy :) Literally a couple minutes after we posted it on fb - one of our friends commented that he worked in the building literally right behind us (I see you Minqi :)!

Thanks! Finishing the last bit and polishing it up took more than 90 minutes - there's a lot of stuff we needed to do for the app store also - screenshots, etc...

Thanks!

haha we've done several interviews like this and usually we pick a project that we estimate to be 3-4 hours and since we are engineers we pretty much always underestimate how long it will take. It's the first one we have ever finished / shipped. We thought it would be way too simple, turns out it was just right:)

Hey HN family!

Here's an interesting experience we had in one of our interviews. Would love to hear any tips or advice you guys have on interviewing and any feedback you have on our process. Thanks!!

We really like him and wanted him to stay. He's a student right now so he's pretty busy.
