I wrote a decent amount about that here https://www.victorquinn.com/tmux-tutorial

tl;dr tmux has much easier configuration, it is more actively developed and maintained, and now (this isn't in my post) a richer add-on/plugin ecosystem

We are disrupting the housing market! https://better.com/

We don't charge any mortgage broker commission (eww, it's gross) we'll give you transparency into the mortgage process so you can configure loans to your hearts content to optimize for what you want on your own terms.

We also have a fleet of real estate Agents that can help you find your new home and currently we'll cut 1% of the purchase price off of your eventual mortgage at closing if you use one of our Agents https://better.com/realestate

You're in SF so I don't think we're live there yet with our cash offer program, but in case anyone else see this from other markets, we can make you a cash buyer https://welcome.better.com/cash-offer/

We are actively working to make the homeownership journey less painful and there's a lot more we'll do in the future but as is we're one of the main disruptors in the space

Happy to answer any questions since I do work for Better!

Knotel | multiple positions | New York, NY | onsite | Full-time | https://www.knotel.com

Knotel is a fast growing commercial real estate startup that is inventing new ways to get things done in a traditional industry. Led by veteran founders, Knotel creates custom headquarters for companies without any of the headaches. Whether for 50 or 500 people, for 6 months or 6 years or more, Knotel provides businesses the flexibility and design they need in office space so they can focus on their work.

Most companies no longer maintain their own server hardware because AWS offers more flexibility and obviates the need to have hardware on-site and IT folks managing and maintaining uptime. At Knotel we think we can provide something similar for office space -- allowing companies to have the ability to scale up and down like cloud servers and freeing them from the responsibility of managing space by having to find people to take over their long leases, do space build outs, hiring their own with facilities management, etc.

As a result, we have a ton of interesting tech challenges all up and down the stack. We are working on a canonical data model for storing all of the information on spaces so we can increase operational efficiency and transparency across the company. We are building internal tools to increase our efficiency as a company. We are continuing to work on our data pipeline to ensure all data flows into our data warehouse so everyone across the company can report on their key metrics. We are integrating with hardware in the physical space to track information like usage, temperature, and we are figuring out solutions for smart access control. We're looking to use computer vision to understand office utilization and flow within the office.

In brief, we have a ton of interesting problems to solve.

We're growing our engineering team in NYC significantly, starting with some key roles.

Today we're hiring a whole bunch of roles:

- Full Stack Engineers https://grnh.se/a0d117a21 - Data Engineer https://grnh.se/951f098f1 - DevOps Engineers (job posting coming soon) - Director of Engineering (job posting coming soon)

Any questions, feel free to email me victor [at] knotel dot com
