I admire the discipline to have built all of this and then not actually use it.


Hex | (Senior) Software Engineer | Remote or SF | Full-time | https://hex.tech/jobs/software-engineer

Hex is building a next-generation data analysis platform, combining the best of code notebooks, BI, and collaboration tools. Our product lets users connect to data, build analyses, collaborate with their team, and turn their work into interactive data apps anyone can use.

We're looking for another Software Engineer (open level) to join our core team of engineers and designers. You will be part of laying our technical foundations, and have a lot of ownership and impact as we grow.

Our tech stack is mostly TypeScript, React, Node, GraphQL, and Kubernetes. Interesting things we're working on include real-time collaboration, distributed backend compute, security for user-executed code, data visualization, and frontend performance.

Efficient, fast interview process: intro phone call, interview with CTO, 2-3 technical interviews. Can do whole thing in a few days.

We are well-funded by great VCs and angels, so we have years of runway and can offer competitive salary. We also offer unlimited PTO, full benefits, and a flexible work environment.

Hex is a tight-knit, high-output team with experience from Palantir, Remix, TrialSpark, and other places. We value ownership, autonomy, clear communication, honest feedback, and high-quality work.

We're early, but already have a well-built out product and paying customers, and are moving fast toward expanding our user base through a public launch later this year.

Apply by sending us an email at hello [at] hex.tech. We will get back to you within a day if you're a potential fit!


Would love to know YC's real matriculation rate. I know of several teams that got accepted in and opted not to go, in part because of ballooning batch size and dilutive terms.


> dilutive terms

Isn't it $125k/7% ? Which seems OK for pre-mvp or even pre-revrnue ? Worth it just for the network value?

Or is the selection so hard that most teams already have real traction ?


then why did they apply? signaling?


The YC application process in and of itself can be very useful for founders. It forces them to really think about what they're building and why it's going to bring value to customers.


Lots of people in here mentioning Reserved Instances, so it's worth mentioning Reserved AI (https://www.reserved.ai/).

We're customers and have been very happy with them, it was super quick to get set up and saves us a big chunk.


For anyone else watching The Great, Catherine's interest in variolation is apparently a true story: https://smarthistoryblog.com/2016/10/05/catherine-the-great-...


Fascinating. Since I never paid attention in history class, I'll admit The Great did remind me of this practice. It's interesting people were experimenting with techniques likes this so long ago, when their understanding of medical science was so rudimentary compared to today.


It was also done in the HBO John Adams miniseries
