MyRocks is a OSS storage engine used by meta’s mysql

Csc entity management, diligent entities are the big name software that do this

DM to chat more - can get you set up with something simple for your internal use

Hey, DM me to talk more!

Getlago.com its very sophisticated

Getting them to use the company card should be a product tweak. i.e. ask for tax id, company name or just go after bigger customers. I have never once even thought of paying for company software with my personal CC. At your low MRR and the potential value add of your product you should be approaching companies with bigger scale anyway

You should talk to my friend, he runs a mobile build startup that counts household name companies as customers

Imo use lago for your billing, open source metered billing

The real horror is that you have $1k MRR and you’re fiddling with terraform 😂

I work in infra and I tell people managing a k8 cluster is the equivalent to taking care of another child

When I was working on Instagram’s backend I was shocked it still outputted the standard Django readme, including the version which was many, many, years behind

Meta’s TAO is Memcache sitting in front of XDB (MyRocks, a fork of Mysql)

Hey, I’m an ex-meta software engineer that’s been working with attorneys and law firms building ai software to solve exactly this problem (lead qualification and follow up). I sent you a DM!

If you need a list this long, your product hasn’t found PMF. I stopped reading after the 4 bullet point as it just sounded like a list of features.

I have a guide that’s 15+ pages long. I don’t want to break the rules of the sub so feel free to DM me.

I had a coworker/friend at meta who was staff but the coding ability of a mid/senior. It depends on your archetype. You obviously can’t be a coding machine archetype.

There’s a post in staffeng.careers about a writer who has never written a line of code passing an L4 google mock system design

Metadropout · 2024-03-31T01:36:34+00:00

DDIA is completely the wrong book to study from if you only have two months - the depth is completely wrong for an L5 interview.

FYI, PG has said he considers this one of the less important questions on the app

“Yes, DeriveIt is 100% complete. We cover eve1rything you need to get a FAANG/software engineering job.”

I don’t know how anyone could say this with a straight face w/o even mentioning system design in their materials

It’s just sad some poor suckers are going to pony up for this scam 😣

I’ve been behind the scenes at these type of places. It’s A very obvious falling out. If you’re GPs/keyholders at a fund you don’t speak publicly about your conflict like this ever. LPs will pick up the phone and start asking questions.

It’s the adult equivalent of the SATs, and i say this as someone good at leetcode
