We're growing very quickly for a bootstrapped company, and could really use the help of an experienced engineer with (ideally) macOS experience. We're still just 3 cofounders, so you'd be our first engineering hire. You'd be part-time/contract at first, but it could expand to full-time later. Full…

HN discussionLike many things in programming, we adopt it like a cargo cult ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult_programming ) based on "some thought leader said" or "some company has amazing..." without actually doing any serious study. It's actually amazing for an industry that should be all about rational, reasoned analysis, that we're willing to perform such experiments on ourselves with so little evidence to show the…

HN discussion> Screen Hero was light years ahead of anything on the market a few years ago. I'm not sure why they didn't integrate it into a simple feature button in Slack. They claim they did, but Slack screensharing is nowhere near what Screenhero's was. A more Screenhero-like replacement is Tuple: https://tuple.app/
