I believe this is extremely unexpected behavior for an "auto-renew" feature. If I'm told that I will be autorenwing something in 7 days and am told about a price, that price changing within those 7 days feels like something the consumer should be protected against!

article is from 2017, can the title be edited to reflect that?

What you’re saying about the motivations of candidate sourcing is not reflected in my experience as a startup ceo or an engineer at a large tech company.

I don’t think the value prop of TripleByte to busy CEOs is “you get employees cheaper”, if anything it’s going to cost more than other sources of talent that don’t take a cut of salaries.

I don’t see how customers of TripleByte are looking to pay less any more than any other ceo that’s trying to maximize profits while minimizing costs.

> For me, for example, the fact that those positions can be matched up to me on TripleByte would literally make me reject those jobs.

That seems shortsighted.

If I was running a startup again and looking to grow my team after exhausting my personal network, triplebyte would be a good value proposition: reduce the time it takes me to hire by pre screening candidates and presenting me with a curated set of people to interview.

So it follows that if I wanted to join a startup I’d consider triplebyte for the same reason —- I can see busy ceos of small companies using it.

You seem to be focused on compensation not finding interesting offers though. To that I’d say two things:

1) If you want to purely optimize for compensation, work at FAANG. I don’t think they source via triplebyte so the point is moot.

2) In my experience, offer size is not related to where the candidate was sourced.

I remember meeting you that day, it was a very surreal start to our summer in Silicon Valley.

I'm really happy to hear you're doing well in the space!

Building a profitable company is really hard, I should know :)

Alas, it’s in the future tense.

We can’t take credit for the current security offerings - it was the work of our soon-to-be coworkers at GitHub.

If you're applying to non-public companies where the stock isn't liquid, it's very hard to compare different packages across companies.

Benefits are another story, and I'd love to see triplebyte release some data about those.

Thanks for also submitting a ticket https://github.com/thousandetherhomepage/ketherhomepage/issu... !

We've added a blacklist of url schemes and CSP. I'd like to have a whitelist if I can find one with all known-good schemes we'd like to be able to support. Know of one?

If you own an ad, you can "publish" to change the link or image url any time you want. All it costs is the transaction fees.

The images are actually hosted over http (or ipfs or swarm). The former requires you to find a host, and the later two have ways of compensating for traffic :)
