With over ten years of experience as a full-stack engineer, I've worn all the hats (also as a founder), developed, and shipped several products end-to-end. I'd love to work with early-stage startups where I can bring my product mindset to my engineering work.

I have been working remotely throughout my career, can comfortably work in and provide overlap with US and EU timezones.

They do have this under tech specs:

Power source: 1 Lithium ion polymer rechargeable battery, AC adapter

Battery lifespan: Will last for approximately 500 cycles, 8 times/day measurements in normal temperatures of 77 °F (25 °C) when new battery fully charged

Battery life: A typical user can expect to charge HeartGuide approximately 2-3 times per week, depending upon the frequency of use of HeartGuide’s features

I did the same thing – I had an private cabin in a co-working space for some time and then moved out to a larger apartment with a dedicated office room. It's been working pretty well so far, although I have make sure I go out for workout and some tea every day to prevent myself from going insane.

I'm curious why you don't want to use HTML.

I second this. This might be too much for this app but I'd really like to be able to track time manually for a project (like toggl.com) and then be able to see the overview for the project at once as opposed to overall view right now.

Maybe this is an error on Stackoverflow's end, (i.e. serving "Please click the link in the confirmation email to activate your subscription." text to googlebot) and then it went into google index.

garkimasera's comment seems to be shadowbanned, so I'm re-posting his comment for visibility.

Ideally, I'd go to one of the top 4 departments: Stanford, MIT, Berkeley, CMU. Graduates of top universities with decent skills don't have a hard time finding jobs. I'll probably add Columbia and Harvard (middling departments, strong lay prestige) as (irony here) "safety schools". A quant fund isn't going to know the difference between a Harvard CS PhD and one from MIT (or might put Harvard higher).

Anything below the top 20 (and it's top 10 in the rest of STEM and top 1-2 in humanities) has to be purely for the education, though. You're right that a #40 PhD, while the educational program is probably fine, won't fix your career.

Also, the academic job market is terrible and that does not change if you have a PhD from an elite department. That's not what I'm aiming for.
