Can you talk a little about why you replaced Haskell as your language of choice?
The short version: The team had no problems with the language when I introduced it back in the day, but after writing over 300k+ SLOC of production code over 6 years we bumped hard into a lot of the typical ecosystem problems that tend to crop up in discussion. We still have systems we support written in it which won't be phased out for years, but no new projects will be written with the language. If the team had bee…
> we bumped hard into a lot of the typical ecosystem problems
I think those are the things we really wanted to hear from you about!
I'm actively working on improving the Haskell ecosystem. I'm aware of a lot of "typical ecosystem problems" that cause challenges for onboarding of new Haskell users but I'm not actually aware of many problems for users who are onboarding and generally successfully using Haskell. I suppose general tool cruftiness might be one of those but I think it's a much bigger problem for new users than experienced users.
If you could mention the problems you ran up against I would appreciate it.

#394Actively | Software Engineers (some combination of LLMs/backend/data infra and general engineering across the stack) | Full-time | NYC | Onsite
I'm one of the founders of Actively. We're building best-in-class machine learning and LLM-powered scoring for outbound sales teams. Our first product lives in Salesforce, ingests data from a variety of sources (firmographics, intent signals, marketing interactions, and prior engagement, including unstructured call transcripts, email chains, and notes), and combines LLMs with structured models to tell sales reps who they should reach out to each day (and why) to be laser-focused.
Our paying customers are fast-growing unicorns you've definitely heard of with large outbound sales motions, where the reps use us to target their outbound every day. Our thesis is that scoring (a known/"need to have" part of the stack -- but able to be done 10x better with LLMs because you can incorporate the goldmine of unstructured engagement data) is the right wedge into building the intelligence-driven outbound sales stack of the future that _actually works_ for large companies that need to generate millions of dollars in pipeline each quarter. Unlike most other companies in the space, we are explicitly building for companies of this scale and have them using our product today "in production."
We started with the vision of bringing AI to every business team, and have since narrowed down to focus on outbound sales teams who have a bunch of attractive properties (there are a _ton_ of them out there, they all use the same stack, the data is consolidated in one place, lift is measurable and directly touches the top line, etc.).
We're a team of 6 working in-person in NYC with a team from Scale/Waymo/Google/etc. (including some very senior folks) and looking to bring on another engineer as we start scaling our customer base. If you have at least a few years of experience, are highly entrepreneurial / excited to work closely with customers + dig in across the business, and are excited to work on some combination of LLMs/data infra/across the stack, we would love to chat: mihir [at] actively.ai!

#395Viator | All Levels | Full time | Hybrid On-site | UK, Portugal Viator connects suppliers to travelers, creating the world's largest platform for travel experiences. We are growing fast and have 30 positions to fill in London, Oxford and Lisbon. We are looking for leaders and engineers at all levels from director downwards for full-stack, backend and data teams. These are hybrid roles where you will visit the office…
The split between both locations clearly sends the message that decision making is based in the UK. You might want to address that.
I'm not sure why you think that message is being "clearly sent". I would discourage you from drawing conclusions based on the open roles with no knowledge of who is already employed in each location.
Instead, if a role is of interest to you, apply and you will get to speak to engineers from Lisbon during the process. They could answer any questions you have about where decisions are made and the autonomy of teams. I think you would be pleasantly surprised by the answers.
Alternatively, my email is in my profile. I can put you directly in touch with someone in the engineering team in Lisbon if you'd like to speak to them before speaking to a recruiter.

30 days vacation is wild to me. Almost couldn't put a value on that
30 days of vacation seems normal? Most places in finance you're going to get at least 20 days vacation and you get all NYSE holidays off typically. So that's 30. My first software job I had 23 days, could buy an extra week (So 28) plus 10 NYSE holidays so I had 38 total. Because of financial regulations, Finance/Insurance is are both typically in that 20+ range.
That's 30 European vacations days before public holidays, so closer to 40, and more important is that you are expected to actually use them with no eyebrows raised

#397I live in EU, earn approx €52,000 as a senior software engineer (whatever that might mean) and live a happy live with a house, mortgage, wife, children, ... Don't consider myself rich, but doing good. Should I change jobs?! $168,000 - $350,000 for a Software Engineer seems outrageous. What am I missing?
Your nickname sounds Dutch, if you are in the Netherlands or Belgium and earn 52k gross as a senior, you are probably being underpaid.
Netherlands. 52k gross, at 32h workweek.
I'm aware I could probably earn more, but I don't need it.

Interesting, I didn't know this posting might be illegal. Maybe I should delete it. Look I'm an engineer here and wanted to share that the company is hiring. I don't know the exact numbers.
No need to stress out. Your post is very much on-topic for this thread, especially since you work there.
dang has already said at the start of this sumbission that complaints are off-topic here.

#399Nuna (https://www.nuna.com) | San Francisco & Remote friendly (US only)| Full-time | Visa Transfer
In the US, we spend an average of over $12,500 per person each year on healthcare -- that’s almost twice what other developed countries spend. Healthcare in the US costs a staggering $4 trillion dollars per year, almost 1/5 of our Nation’s entire economy. Yet with all this resource, our healthcare outcomes are poorer than other countries, people still can’t afford their healthcare, and our healthcare providers are burnt out.
Moreover, our healthcare is systemically unequal. People of color, lower income, and LGBTQ+ have demonstrably worse healthcare outcomes, a disparity grimly highlighted by the pandemic we’re living through now where people of color are three-times more likely to die from COVID-19.
How can this be, and how can we change it?
Nuna is tackling one of the most hardest problems in healthcare underlying the negative outcomes and disparities we see: how healthcare gets paid.
Today, hospitals only get paid when they do more-- more visits, more tests, more meds, more surgeries. Hopefully this helps patients get better, but regardless, the system gets paid. In fact, doing more is the only way to stay afloat.
But -- is this really the right set of incentives? Shouldn’t everyone get rewarded not just by doing more, but by when patients actually get better? Shouldn’t everyone have access to affordable, high quality care, and shouldn’t hospitals be rewarded when they deliver this care? And shouldn’t insurance companies get rewarded when they help ALL their patients get better?
Absolutely, yes. This concept is called Value-Based Care. In fact, healthcare as a whole has been trying to move in this direction for years, but making it all reality is deeply complex -- it is after all our healthcare. Nuna’s technology platform, our software apps, our vision, and our exceptionally talented team are collectively accelerating the healthcare system’s ability to make value-based care available to everyone.
In 2022, Nuna will power over $70Bn of healthcare payments for over 6.5mn patients. We also leverage our data science and platform to direct patients to the best, culturally-matched, and accessible care providers for them. Additionally, we make it transparent and easy for both hospitals and insurers to see how they are performing in value-based care by spotlighting the patients or areas where they need to pay extra attention so that they can provide good care to all their patients and get rewarded.
Nuna is unique - we have brought together an exceptional team of over 200 people. We are the industry’s best in healthcare data, analytics, engineering, clinicians, and value based healthcare experts. We have joined forces to create a more equitable health system for everyone.
Our dreams and ambitions to change healthcare as we know it are big. If yours are too, we want to work with you.
