Puma.tech | Remote-first with PST overlap | Engineering & Growth | $75-150k base & 200k+ equity | https://puma.tech Hi all, I’m Yuriy, founder of Puma.tech. Previously worked as software engineer & developer advocate at Cloudant (YC S08, Acq. by IBM), Meteor (YC S11), Parse (YC S11, Acq. by Meta), and explored Ai/ML (computer vision for self-driving cars) before diving deep into crypto. Puma Browser is focused on mak…

Super Kind folk, and Brave too. I once offered to build something for free for them to prove I could build things, but they said there was no need and kindly paid me. I didn't get the gig in the end, but in this cold age of frauds, I really appreciated that.

I was ready to apply. And then I read about the company requiring a spy app doing logging and regular snapshots. This seems so antithetical to everything else in your policy book (and a hard stop for me). Just curious, wh…

Upwork/oDesk has a similar system. In these apps, the hours are only billed when you have activity in front of the computer (moving mouse and pressing keys). I suspect the purpose is the same as platforms like Upwork use it: to ensure they pay only for time you are moving the mouse or typing something. Time away from the computer (but where you could also be thinking about work) is not billed. Since few people can st…

Agreed. But what I meant is not the literal "what does typing trackers find" but a higher level surprise, as this type of tracking will scare away precisely the people they want to hire: senior python developers who can work autonomously in a remote-first culture. My 2c.

Urgh. Indeed they use spyware - the kind that takes screenshots and record URLs: https://hubstaff.com/guiding-principles

Of course they care about privacy and therefore screenshots and URL recording can be enabled or disabled. Just not by the employee.

Funny thing is that it is trivial to fool these apps by using scripts which interact with the computer/VM automatically, so they will not only scare away good developers, it is likely they are creating incentives for the kind of people who would cheat the system.
