What Hacker News says?
Blogpost author here. Thank you so much for all the attention, comments, upvotes, likes, retweets, etc! I've done a pass over the comments and can't really answer them all but I'd like to clarify a few things: There seems to be a general opinion trend that the queries generated by the group builder algorithm are very inefficient, that it'd be easy to come up with a solution with much better response times, and that…

HN discussionThere's no CTO on https://movio.co/en/company/ Seems like a red flag. I'm all for companies releasing technical blog posts, but there's some really strange framing here.

I believe Centrality (blockchain company) and Soul Machines use Python. You'll see a lot more NodeJS in the startups. Someone from Xero might be able to correct me here, but I've heard from friends at Xero that they're exploring Rust atm. [1] https://www.vendhq.com/ [2] https://movio.co…
