Your website is INCREDIBLY slow, and I have a very good laptop with dedicated GPU. Somehow some JS is killing the whole thing. Anyways, the concept looks cool, but I'm failing to see a real value add to something like Temporal. What is it?

Oh no, haven't gotten reports about the website being slow, thanks for flagging! Which browser are you using? Regarding Temporal, our goal is to create the best developer experience possible, and we started Hatchet because we felt that Temporal misses the mark (I used Temporal for years before starting Hatchet). The primary difference is that we're not solely focused on durable workflows, we're a general-purpose back…

I’m on chrome. Maybe it was a hiccup on my end.

Looks interesting.

We are in the process of looking for some alternatives to temporal/prefect. Would you mind sharing your email so I can send a few questions along with my cofounder?

Noise is building a way to measure and trade attention — something the internet produces endlessly but no one has been able to objectively track. We create a transparent, real-time market for attention itself, revealing what the world actually cares about as it changes.

Team of 10 in SoHo. We look for people with great taste who ship code, design, or convey user needs into delightful products.

Hiring:

Senior Frontend Engineer — Own and ship features across the stack with a frontend focus. Work closely with design to build fast, reusable components. React, TypeScript, Tailwind.

Senior Mobile Engineer — Architect and build our React Native app from zero to launch. Own performance, motion, and polish. Every frame and gesture should feel native.

For both: Not a vibecoder. Uses Cursor or similar to empower, not replace. Strong attention to detail, self-QA, taste for motion and interaction.

Fair point. Opinions about the merits of a business are off topic. I’ll consider that next time before posting.

Thanks. It’s nothing to do with the validity of people’s concerns about these kinds of products, but just the rules and the principles; they have to be upheld regardless of the specifics. And really, if we’re going to save humanity from products like this, it won’t be via HN Hiring threads.
