PelCasandra··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2021)
HelloText | Remote | Full-time | Full Stack Rails, JavaScript | https://www.hellotext.com

HelloText is messaging for everyone, made simple.

We're re-imagining how small businesses, retailers, mom-and-pop shops communicate with their audiences through all their channels (SMS, RCS, WhatsApp, FB) offering a single interface. We aim to become the simplest and most loved communication tool for the job.

This is a bootstrapped, cash-flow positive business that is expanding on this strategy as a long-term goal. Thus, we're looking for a candidate who is interested and committed to a long-term position. This is an ideal opportunity if you work remotely and would like having a a stable position.

You'll be responsible of building the new product:

* Implementing the new frontend (with new Rails Hotwire maybe?)

* Building new features both on frontend and backend.

* Connecting external services.

* Helping scaling up.

You should have vast experience in Rails both on the frontend and backend, with a (preferentially) engineering or CS background, a good sense of aesthetics and product design and be able to improve flows and UI designs on your own so you can add value to an already solid and consistent UI in the works.

Tech stack: Rails, PostgreSQL.

PelCasandra··on Boost your productivity: kill some variables in your life
As someone who has been interesting in tweaking personal productivity for a while I found this post to be rather simplistic. I also do recurring supermarket orders with a few clicks as probably many does that here already. Not a big deal. Automatic clothing? Meh.

I was expecting to find more insight into the real variables to kill when thinking of startup productivity. To implement certain features or not? Allocate that much energy into that refactoring or not now even if its looks prettier? Cost vs time of delegation and so on. A more in deep discussion about what we do when we're actually working I think may trigger much better results in real productivity.

Glad to see some great implementations here.

PelCasandra··on OLPC problems in Peru
Bringing every child a free laptop should be considered an essential starting point to reduce social inequality and poverty. Giving the opportunity to the poor child that has born in the countryside to be connected and teach him about technology since is a 5 years old bring an amazing democratizing tool of opportunities to them. And perhaps the only one.

I'm from Uruguay and starting in 2006, this is exactly what the government has been done. This has become a national cause. And as far as I know, this has been the most successful implementation to date of this.

Uruguay is a relatively small country (similar to Greece but with a lot rural areas) and with a modest population of 3M people.

In less than two years (by 2009) the government implemented free wifi connectivity for OLPC kids across the country. The country is very close to 100% wifi connectivity for OLPC kids (run on a separate network) and we're near to 100% 3G costless as-well across the country which works at least at 5Mb / second.

In addition to that, the government declared internet as a right that anyone should get, for free. Any uruguayan can claim at least 256k in their houses for free on any part of the country. There's no barrier anymore to be connected. And truth is, people is getting interested in the opportunities of it. The little kid who goes to school in a horse because is 20km far from his house in rural areas now he's aware of a new previously unseen potential and see the opportunities of becoming a designer or a programmer. And this is really happening.

However, is naive to think computers alone will do the trick. Bringing computers is just the starting point of something bigger which is not only the connectivity, but mostly the educational foundations that should be instrumented afterwards and carefully followed up based on all the feedback. Real iterations based on data and adjusted as the project goes. It may resonate like the same principle of a startup.

Here's a summary I found of a pilot OLPC experience in Uruguay. http://www.divms.uiowa.edu/~hourcade/ceibal-workshop.pdf

I heard the people who contribute to this in UY is now beginning to help the Peruvian and other countries with the experience and all we have learned of this to re-create the same kind of educational environments.

PelCasandra··on A writer leaves Microsoft Word
I really like the simplicity idea behind WriteRoom.

I think it would be great for this kind of apps to auto-save directly to Evernote API or iCloud instead of the file disk.

PelCasandra··on A web designer with an attitude (he did his site while drunk)
Agreed with ForrestN. I don't see anything special about this. That guy is not a designer himself. He just mere know how to use the tools yet he thinks so.
PelCasandra··on Ask HN: Anyone have a really smart way to organize css?
Use SASS with partials and mixins and sort them as it's more convenient for you (probably following the natural flow of descending order of your page).
