I passed my triple byte exam with "very high scores" (I'm sure that's BS), but I don't know any of the languages they were testing me on. What should I teach myself before I schedule the interview? Rust? Go? Php? A framework instead?

It doesn't matter what language or frameworks you use. Just use what you're familiar with. The goal is to show competency.

#63I have a question about Triplebyte.
Suppose I'm not looking for a job, but take your quiz for fun (which your site says is OK). I'd probably take the quiz in some area I'm not good in, such as front end web [1], because that might provide some guidance as to what I should be looking at if I want to get better in that field.
There is, of course, a good chance I'll do terrible on that (but have a lot of fun).
Then let's say that months or a year or so later, I've had a chance to actually get good in that area, and I'm looking for a job. Will that botched for fun quiz in that area sink me if I try to use Triplebyte seriously in that job hunt?
[1] I've only had to do simple web stuff--simple PHP generated pages with simple framework free JavaScript now and them.

You can retake any quiz after 4 months. My understanding is they only propagate you to hiring companies on a pass/fail basis and they use your most recent score

Why sad? I think it's great. It's awesome that folks can stay where their families are, where they want to live, and participate in this awesome industry. It's going to bring so much more wealth to other parts of the world. We should celebrate that. Congrats on expanding, looking forward to when you come to the midwest!

Huh...you'd think someone that's been on HN for over 4 years and has almost 800 karma would know better than to make a "+1" comment.

That would be great. I have been brushing up on my CS so that I can apply to Google in Boulder. Love that area.
You don't need Triplebyte to launch in Boulder for that. Just apply directly to Google.
No, you're right. Just in case it doesn't work out with Google, I mean.

There are many 'identifiers', but commonly, at least, a long-living cookie that ties your browser session to ads, tracking, etc. More granular targeting, especially for portable devices that will change WAN IP.
Right, it's not the only identifier, but it's one of them, and you will "pollute" each other's targeted ads to an extent. I'm assuming some sort of adtech stuff is happening at the carrier/provider level as well, independent of your browser or individual browsing device.

#68ARGH! Now it all makes a bit more sense. Triplebyte is a YC alumni, and that's why they're allowed to spam HN. I got downvoted in the comments of another spam post of theirs because I made a snarky remark. I think they have mod access here -- they can delete your comment, make it invisible, etc. I think they're deleting comments in this very thread right here. I'm just tired of seeing your ads everywhere, Triplebyte.…
No YC company has mod access to HN.

#69Ya'll sure spend a lot on Reddit ads, even my wife sees them, and she's not your target audience. Is this effective? honestly curious.
Yeah, I almost feel bad about how often I see Triplebyte ads, since I'd like to use the service but I'm not intending to relocate to one of their cities right now.
I used their service and have been seeing ads on FB, Reddit, etc. ever since. Complete waste of advertising.

#70What salaries does TripleByte offer for Sr. Devs in these high cost of living cities? $200k and above?
Triplebyte isn't doing the hiring there afaik. It is referring you to companies that hire there, who will offer their standard salaries for those cities.
