Not that it matters that much but I notice there's no .NET or C# on the "Technology Used" list. Is there really not a single YC company that uses the .NET stack? I'm not surprised that there's a strong bias toward open source technologies among these companies, but given how widely .NET used elsewhere in the enterprise world I find it pretty remarkable NONE of those companies decided to go with a MS stack.

I'd love for this sort of thing to have a filter with the type of office employees would be working on. That way everyone on Hacker News can apply for the jobs with the offices best aligned with software development sending a positive signal to those companies and hopefully encouraging better office design overall for those types of jobs.

I went through the test couple of weeks back. It was pretty interesting take on the screening part. Wanted to see how the phone screen was, but they seem to be out of slots for a long time.

Re: the "strong bias toward open source technologies" bit...yes, I know .NET is open source. This is a recent development.

Just thought I'd qualify that before someone else mentions it.

We got most of the data (more than half) from the founders of the companies directly. The rest we scraped. I bet there are a few on an MS stack, but it's a small percentage

Yeah, we've been very busy. Sorry about this. We're focusing more on learning and less on throughput right now. We'll have more spots opening up next week. Send me an email at ammon@triplebyte.com, and I'll make sure we get you in.

.NET is expensive. Developers demand higher salaries, libraries that would otherwise be open source cost big bucks, need a large tool chain to get everything up a running.

Interesting idea. I kind of doubt office layout is a dominating factor in how most people choose their next job though. This should be especially true if you're trying to choose a rocket ship startup right before it blasts off. Office dynamics, location, and layout will all change (and will be shaped by the employees) as the company scales.
