ServiceBell is building the next generation of live chat, reimagined with video chat. We're looking for a senior, frontend leaning full-stack engineer to help us execute on our roadmap in advance of our public launch. The contract duration will likely be for 1-3 months, with the potential to convert to full-time depending on how things go!
We have a modern, React/Typescript/Redux(toolkit) based codebase, where you'd be helping us translate designs into beautiful, functional UI for our amazing customers.
If you're at all annoyed by chatbots and want to help create a better alternative, consider applying!
We're the virtual service bell for your website. Our mission is to re-create in-store quality experiences, online. Think Intercom, but Video.
We're an early stage, funded Enterprise B2B Software company. Despite being pre-launch, we've seen sustained 50%+ average MoM growth, and already have meaningful MRR.
We're looking to bring on a senior, product minded engineer to our team of 4.
At ServiceBell, we take "being there for your customers" literally. We’re building a virtual service bell for the web, to help agents greet website visitors over live video chat.
We've just closed our Seed round and are hiring our founding team. We're looking for a senior full stack engineer to join our team of 3. You’ll be a co-owner in our product, and moreso, in our business.

Have there been any benchmarks done on the websocket side of FastAPI specifically compared to flask-socketio? Especially when scaling horizontally and needing to synchronize across many socket servers?
We're building out a product that will maintain large numbers of simultaneously connected sockets, so the "performance" pitch here is pretty compelling.
I think this is true, but only to a point. It's certainly true when the comparison is 10K to invest vs 10M, as liquidity of markets is not yet a concern and the investor with 10M is suddenly "accredited", can afford to pay a financial advisor, etc.
However, at 10M vs 10B, the 10M investor is much better off. Liquidity becomes a real concern - there's just not that many assets or stocks that can support that kind of allocation.
Small, nimble investors can usually outperform large funds simply by being able to fully enter into positions where larger funds couldn't.
That's just another way of expressing the concept that opportunities are limited.
Large investors (like those with $10B) can certainly take advantage of small opportunities, but just not with their full amount. But because they are large, there may be multiple small opportunities which they participate in, and diversify on, rather than a small investor who must commit to a single small opportunity (which forces them to take on individual/concentrated risk).
So it's not true that the $10M investor is better off.
You are only one person, taking on more opportunities takes more of your time and subcontracting investments can only do so much. Jeff Bezos turned 300k start to 100 billions, a 300 000 times return on investment. Do you think he could have turned 100 billion to 30 quadrillions? Obviously not, it would be something like 100 billion to 1 trillion at best.
Investing in yourself or projects you run is the main way to get rich, otherwise you just get average returns but if you invest in yourself you can bet on you being much better at doing things than the rest of the world expects.
This comment here is kinda incredible at being "technically correct". The argument is "That's not always true, it only hold for 99.99% of the time".
As in even if you're in the 99.99% OPs reasoning still holds. And yet so much time on this site is spent arguing on behalf of the .001% Ie people with way above $400 million in net worth.
You realize you're talking about fewer than 3000 people in the entire USA. Why is this even worth discussing? And that's still assuming they're putting all of their net worth into a single investment which they aren't.
This is so far from the point of being discussed it's a complete distraction. The epitome of "well actually...".
It's not just 3000 people. My comment is relevant for entities like pension funds, mutual funds, hedge funds, insurance companies that have to allocate their float, conglomerates like Berkshire hathaway, and those "negligible" 3000 people that account for probably a quarter or higher of personal investment.
If I was a shareholder of FAANG (I'm not), I wouldn't be very excited about them taking on very unprofitable tasks like solving humanity's urgent problems.
I'm pretty sure FAANG pays quite a lot in payroll tax, property tax, and they also ensure that FAANG employees pay quite substantial income tax, property tax, and sales tax.
How do you understand that the entire world was communist until 10,000 years ago?
The natural order of the world appears to more closely resemble capitalism via the "eat what you kill" philosophy.
I imagine you are imagining close-knit tribes that would share resources freely internally. If so, would you agree that tribe members that leech off of the tribe and don't contribute were likely expelled from the group?
We certainly all do seem to have this innate fear of being abandoned by our group, so I think it's fair to say that we're adapted to avoid this outcome.
