Interesting. How do you yourself use this(I am assuming of course you built it out of a need to want to have to track this data)?
Show HN: Every CEO and CFO change at US public companies, live from SEC
11–20 of 71 posts
I originally built it to track competitive moves in a specific sector. Turns out sales teams and recruiters get the most value from it as new exec hires are a strong outreach signal

#12Interesting part will be what do we read out of that data

#13Given this is failing due to HN hug of death, might I suggest that you do a periodic batch, save the results and serve static?
Thank you very much. Great call

#14The site fails to load...it just gets stuck in a fetching state. Another downside of vibe programming.
Back up now...first time getting real traffic. Appreciate the patience.

#15Interesting, you should save part of the data to do some caching and avoid api requests for old positions.
Thank you for the suggestion

#16Nice job! Is there a way to double click on any name to see more details on the person like previous positions or current compensation?

#17“Real time”
a CTO at Starbucks started his presentation with "How many employees does Starbucks have?" .. and spends an hour explaining dynamic assesments.. hint- there is no count at any hour because the massive, distributed system has edge states and some noise.
Starbucks CTO explains carefully that they do not actually know how many employees there are, in their own enterprise, at any give hour

#18What would also be very interesting is a graph of relationships and movements. Let's see just how incestuous the boards really are, and what's going on with serial CEOs who move from one business to the next.
I worked on a knowledge graph map using Wikidata to get relationship between people and organizations, but data was limited to family, basic stuff. Being from Europe, there isn't an open data analogue of SEC. Now I will download this data, it is open so no license at all, and try to show these kind of relationships. It has the potential of being very investigative, especially for USA residents.

#19Is the equity piece one-time or yearly grants? I think it is adding up yearly salary with one-time equity grants. Also, how about bonuses?

#20Nice idea. Small thing: the categories are pretty much fixed. If you have to abbreviate a never-changing category like "Consumer Defen..." in a widget, your design doesn't work in this aspect.
