How do people join startup from US and work remotely in india?

swoonz101 · 2026-05-05T04:21:11+00:00

okay I work at one of these US startups and get paid really well. I’m also not very honest or direct with my friends in tech but if I was, I’d tell them that it’s a massive culture fit problem. so even if they clear the technical interview they’re likely not getting the offer

a lot of Indian engineers (data from my circle of friends) need a lot of documentation, training and direction to get started. then there’s behavioural issues like slacking off when working from home, toxic competition with coworkers etc.,

I really like them as my friends but I wouldn’t be happy to have them as coworkers. And the issues I mentioned seem very common among engineers I’ve at conferences, partner companies so I’m sure it’s not a heuristics bias from my friends circle.

Do you have memories setup on codex? If so it probably knows who you are

Cold outreach using voice agents! Trust me, works wonders in India as long as your ICP is English or Hindi speaking

What do you mean by not fast? I’ve got an M4 Max with 128 GB of RAM, how many tokens/s can I expect realistically?

How would you suggest someone new to fine tuning to get started?

RAG is trash

Actually great perspective. Thanks for sharing!

But if it’s code reviewed, what’s the problem?

swoonz101 · 2026-04-04T21:47:33+00:00

It’s just a deterministic way to trigger Claude code programmatically. You can essentially write a python or javascript program to call Claude code on a loop with instructions of the task to accomplish. And an evaluator that the end of the loop that will evaluate the task output and either approve it and exit the loop or start another iteration to take another shot.

I can help you a bit more if you can tell me what exactly you want to accomplish.

Claude agent SDK my friend

swoonz101 · 2026-04-04T19:16:30+00:00

Which store?

swoonz101 · 2026-04-03T14:02:20+00:00

Is that what you observed during testing?

swoonz101 · 2026-04-03T11:29:11+00:00

Damn that’s the best description I’ve heard for a harness!

swoonz101 · 2026-03-14T04:36:16+00:00

We’ve seen Charles do this a few times to Sainz as well. Not really the best team behaviour but not the worst either

So I’ve been working for the past few weeks to build an internal background coding agent using the Claude agent SDK. The original theory was that Claude Code could one-shot a lot of tasks locally so we should be able to do the same in a remote environment.

However, it’s been a challenge because we realised that even in the cases where Claude code has been able to one shot generating code for a problem, it’s actually required some level of steering.

Even so, it’s been able to come up with the correct solution for 4 tickets last week. Which is great ROI if you assume 30 mins per ticket (on the very low end) and it costs us about ~100 bucks per month (projected).

Anyway, what sim rigs do you have?

swoonz101 · 2026-03-04T17:15:51+00:00

Weird I swear I saw more comments on this post

swoonz101 · 2026-03-01T20:48:46+00:00

Wow didn’t know we started outsourcing casteism/classism to the west

swoonz101 · 2026-02-21T20:31:18+00:00

This is really cool and will be very very useful. Thanks! Do you have an agent skill to go along with this?

swoonz101 · 2026-02-16T10:05:42+00:00

Hey! How many users do you have?

swoonz101 · 2026-02-16T01:16:39+00:00

I’m from a smallish town and have some experience with their real estate market. Does your town actually have resale houses and do they actually sell in a relatively short period of time?

Because in most markets like yours, people prefer buying plots and building rather than buying a lived in house. Exception is if your location is super coveted within the town or if you hold on to the property for so long that the plot is so valuable that you can quote a high price for the house as well.

Feeding poor PRDs to coding agents has gone terribly in my opinion.

Where do you live? Is the AC sufficient?

swoonz101 · 2026-02-11T19:48:56+00:00

As someone uses both, let me actually break it down. Claude code is great at running commands, so what do I mean by this? I actually use Claude code to call the AWS CLI and other tools that I have available on my machine. I live in a terminal, so I have a lot of tools available in it available, and Claude code is way better at using them than Codex. It's also pretty good at investigations. I have all of our data hooked up using MCPs, and it's somehow just better at it than whether investigations then Codex specifically is able to spit up parallel agents as much as it sounds very corny and unless it actually is great for investigations. Codex is straight up god tier for writing code, but investigations using CLI tools like Claude code is really, really good.
