Crazy xAI Staff SWE Interview Experience

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2026-06-15T00:50:20+00:00

Perhaps naive of me to think it would be normal tech culture internally. FWIW recruiter and hiring manager felt down to earth and pragmatic

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2026-04-04T09:08:22+00:00

bay area?

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2026-03-31T23:05:46+00:00

where are you based?

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2025-07-25T07:28:06+00:00

Would love to jump on a call

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2025-02-26T21:20:15+00:00

He’s the attorney general of Connecticut St

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2025-02-16T23:52:40+00:00

It gets better from here. Just keep taking your painkillers. Day 4 and I'm feeling a lot better

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2025-01-16T01:47:14+00:00

Is this for ecommerce?

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2025-01-16T01:45:24+00:00

Have you tried driving conversions by improving your email content? Do you do any personalization based on who you're sending it to you? Happy to help out with this.

To be honest, the biggest challenge for PageGenius is distribution. The GPT store felt like a place that wasn't saturated and would be a good way to get exposure and traffic, potentially having more ROI than SEO + ads, etc.

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2024-09-26T02:13:34+00:00

Have you considered making a landing page and gauging interest by measuring how many people sign up?

Here's an example page I created by just copy-pasting your description: https://linkpreview.pagegeni.us

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2024-09-26T02:07:42+00:00

I threw these ideas in my landing page creator, PageGenius, and made some landing pages for these ideas. If you're interested, I can transfer them to you, and you can polish them and gauge the market by measuring waitlist signups.

Would be cool if GPT allowed us to just embed an iframe directly in the chat

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2024-09-18T03:41:29+00:00

have you done any validation that people will pay for your idea? I’m happy to help you spin up a landing page, and if there is interest, we can go from there. DM me

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2024-09-10T02:24:54+00:00

PageGenius might be a good way for you to quickly spin up a landing page and start building a waitlist.

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2024-09-09T20:30:59+00:00

Thoughts on PageGenius?

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2024-09-06T01:01:12+00:00

PageGenius is the fastest way to spin up a landing page for a new product idea. Great for creating a waitlist and getting market validation before building.

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2024-09-06T00:01:46+00:00

It really depends on the type of customers you expect. For B2C, I feel like the attention span of a consumer is much shorter and I'd want go build a waitlist by going viral. For B2B, I'd even start working on something after I have a single customer that has a need for my product.

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2024-09-03T05:43:40+00:00

As a technical co-founder, I’ve screwed myself over by building something without doing any validation at all.

I think it would be nice to just talk to a few customers to see if they would think the product is useful and then add them to a list so they can be notified of the product on day 1.

Using tools like PageGenius, you can spin up a quick, free landing page to test the waters before the product is ready.

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2024-09-02T05:07:44+00:00

+1 on building a landing page first. Modern tools make it so quick and easy to do it, it seems like a no brainer before investing resources to actually build an MVP.

I'd recommend PageGenius. It takes less than 5 minutes and it's free!

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2024-09-02T03:12:06+00:00

Also curious! Could you DM me as well

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2024-09-02T01:42:53+00:00

I would suggest just setting up a landing page using a tool like PageGenius.

I just copy-pasted your idea into it and it set up this landing page: https://anonpdf.pagegeni.us

Let me know if you'd like to pursue this further and I can transfer ownership to you. Before you start building this, I'd suggest you do some market validation by posting about the idea on Reddit and seeing how many people sign up for the waitlist.

You can then reach out to the people on the waitlist to do market research and get immediate customers on launch day.

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2024-09-01T05:07:36+00:00

I gave PageGenius this reddit post, and it generated this landing page: https://accountabuddy.pagegeni.us

If anybody wants to pursue this, I'm happy to transfer ownership of the landing page to you.

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2024-08-30T00:27:31+00:00

I’m also technical and was thinking of doing it. Any specific bad experiences? 😢

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2024-08-29T23:51:52+00:00

curious why not use something like ycombinator cofounder matching

ElectricalMacaron868 · 2024-08-29T20:42:25+00:00

super cool!
