I run a small dev studio, and I built a SaaS product called Qualyo Forms solo. It's live, and I'm now moving my own time fully onto distribution, which means I need someone to keep the product moving.

This isn't a one-off build. I'm looking for an ongoing relationship with one developer who gets to know the codebase properly and ships features week to week, working closely with me.

Stack: Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase/PostgreSQL, Stripe, OpenAI/Anthropic APIs

What you'd be doing: feature work across the app, mostly product surface rather than infrastructure. You'd be the only developer, so I need someone who can take a rough spec and run with it rather than wait on tickets.

Rate: $40/hr, or retainer for roughly 20 hrs/week. Open to either.

Timezone: I'm in Brazil (UTC-3). Some overlap needed, doesn't have to be full days.

If it sounds like a fit, DM me, and I'll send over a short application form. Happy to answer questions there too.

I’m looking for a software developer to join our small remote team on a long-term basis.

This is a paid, ongoing contract, not commission-based or a short-term project.

Rate: $35–$50 USD/hour, depending on experience
Location: Remote — North America preferred; U.S.-based candidates strongly preferred for timezone alignment
Duration: 6+ months / long-term
Experience: Around 3+ years preferred

What I’m looking for

• Strong general programming fundamentals
• Experience building and maintaining production software
• Comfortable working with existing codebases
• Experience with APIs and databases
• Git/GitHub experience
• Good debugging and problem-solving skills
• Able to work independently in a remote environment
• Good written and spoken English

Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Node.js, or Python is helpful, but you do not need to be an expert in all of them.

The main things I care about are solid development skills, reliability, communication, and the ability to learn quickly.

Work may include

• Building and improving software features
• Frontend and backend development
• Working with APIs and databases
• Debugging and fixing issues
• Improving existing code
• Collaborating with a small remote team

To apply

Please send me a Reddit DM with:

• A short introduction
• Your location/time zone

My website is getting a good amount of traffic, but visitors aren't turning into customers. People are visiting my pages, viewing products or services, and sometimes spending time on the website, but very few are making a purchase or contacting me.

What could be causing this problem? Is it because of poor website design, slow loading speed, weak product/service presentation, complicated navigation, lack of trust signals, pricing, poor mobile experience, weak calls-to-action, or an ineffective checkout process?

How can I identify exactly where visitors are dropping off and optimize my website to turn more of that existing traffic into leads, inquiries, and actual sales?

Hot take: I think software engineering interviews are measuring the wrong thing.

For years, the path has been pretty predictable:

Learn DSA → grind LeetCode → solve 500 problems → prepare for interviews.

And honestly, DSA is valuable. It teaches problem-solving and builds strong fundamentals.

But something has changed.

AI can now write a lot of the code.

It can implement algorithms, optimize functions, explain solutions, and get you surprisingly close to a working implementation in seconds.

So what becomes more valuable?

Knowing what to build, why to build it, and how to build it efficiently.

That's where I think System Design deserves much more attention.

Give two engineers the same AI coding assistant and ask them to build a URL shortener.

One might immediately start asking AI to write the code.

The other might first ask:
How much traffic are we expecting?
Do we need caching?
What database makes sense?
What happens if a service goes down?
How do we scale this from 10K to 10M users.

Both might eventually write working code.

But the second engineer is thinking beyond the code.

That's engineering thinking.

And yet, when we talk about practicing engineering skills, the names that immediately come up are:

LeetCode. GFG. Codeforces.

But what about System Design?

Where do you actually go to practice it consistently?

Where can you solve real-world architecture problems, understand trade-offs, get better over time, and maybe even build a System Design streak?

Imagine going from designing a URL shortener today to a chat system next week, a food delivery platform after that, and eventually tackling genuinely complex distributed systems.

Not memorizing architectures for an interview.

Actually learning how to think like an engineer.

I genuinely feel there is a gap here.

DSA shouldn't disappear. It's still important.

But maybe it's time we stop treating it as the ultimate proxy for engineering ability—especially for engineers who already have a few years of experience.

Code can increasingly be generated.
Engineering decisions can't be outsourced that easily.

So I'm curious:

If you wanted to seriously practice System Design today, what platform would you use?

And if there isn't an obvious answer, what do you think that platform should look like?

#SystemDesign #SoftwareEngineering #TechHiring #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfWork

I lost my job 3 months ago after HR passed news that the company was laying off most of its workers. Main reason; AI can do most of what we were doing. Ever since then I have been applying for jobs across different industries ; Fintech, banks, Jack, startups e.t.c . Most of interviews ended with being ghosted while some are employing yes, but, offering like 1/3 the salary I was being paid and almost 10 times work load of what I was handling before. Most of employers are claiming that with AI availability, I could handle what 5 or more guys would handle before alone . This keeps me wondering if this what's happening across tech majors nowadays.

I’m a 2026 grad, Computer Science & Economics student at BITS Pilani, and I’m honestly a bit stuck right now and could use some advice from people who’ve been through this.

My background is:
Oracle: worked on 15+ SQL pipelines, query-plan/index/join optimisation, Oracle 23ai Vector Search, and an OJET dashboard.
Research thesis in Germany: completed a funded research thesis at Ruhr University Bochum on adversarially robust quantized neural networks, working with PyTorch, CIFAR-10, FGSM/PGD attacks and 2-bit/3-bit quantization.
Morgan Stanley: Worked with the Asia Economics & Rates desk, building an analytics platform and XGBoost based yield-curve forecasting system.

I’ve also built a few projects outside work a limit-order-book/trading simulator with FIFO matching, latency, cancellations, inventory/P&L and ablation analysis, and a RAG personal-finance assistant using embeddings, FAISS and LLM APIs.

The frustrating part is the timing. My Oracle PPO was revoked because of organizational/headcount changes. I then interned at Morgan Stanley, but they told me they can’t give an offer too because of headcount.

I subsequently got another offer in 19 days of my offer revoke at a MNC, but they’re now delaying things as well.

So I’m basically back in the market at the worst possible time, despite having what I think is a reasonably solid profile.

I’m happy to share my resume, GitHub and credentials over DM if anyone wants to take a look. I’d especially appreciate feedback/referrals/leads from people hiring engineers or founders who can tell me where my profile actually fits.

Thanks - genuinely appreciate any advice.

Its been 5 months that i got laid off. I have been applying for job and almost given up applying to new one. As there are more than 100 application to one opening. There is a dilema of conteniously applying for jobs with no hope of getting a callback or dedicate full time building our own product as a individaul or as a collab team. I am not sure how long it will take to complete the product and get mw sustainable amount. Let me know your openion on this. You can reachout to me on : aigendevd@gmail.com If you have any things to disscuss.

Over the next three days, I’ll be referring three exceptional builders for Atlan’s AI-Native Builder Internship.

If you’re graduating in 2027/ graduated in 2026 and AI hasn’t just made you faster—but fundamentally changed how you think, experiment and build—I’d love to hear from you.

This is a six-month internship where you’ll work on real problems, build meaningful products and ship work that reaches users.

Apply for a referral only through the form in the comments.

I have just two referral slots left, so I’ll be highly selective. Show me what you’ve built and how you’ve used AI to rethink the building process.

Stipend: 50-60K INR, fully remote.

Site: https://intern.at.atlan.com/

Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/u/1/d/14bVU8yfBqpVdF2ppF2pSp4ugivrHQ-022MBertosu_g/edit?usp=forms_home&ouid=113635218121569800607&ths=true

Note: Only apply if you have used claude/codex/cursor heavily in past few months, have build projects around AI infrastructure

EDIT 1: I have referred one more candidate; only 1 slot left now.

EDIT 2: The last slot got filled; if you have not received a DM from me, then unfortunately you have not been selected this time.

Please don't fill the form, the deadline has passed.
