daswolle··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2025)
Altira Health | Remote (US) | Full-time | Founding Software Engineer (Interop) | https://www.altirahealth.com/

We're building an AI care platform to reduce ER visits, close care gaps, and guide patients to the right care at the right time. We're a pre-seed healthcare startup working with major providers to drive real outcomes. We have great runway, we're moving fast, and we have lots of leads that mean we can't build fast enough. We also believe in compliance and security from day 0.

We're looking for someone with deep healthcare integration experience to hit the ground running. Ideally they're a pragmatic backend expert to help us scale our integration platform as we continue to grow. The expectation is deep knowledge of healthcare standards. Integrations can be a full time role, but at a startup it's necessary to wear many hats. So this individual should also feel comfortable as a generalist who can jump in at any part of the stack.

Stack: Python, Django, GraphQL, AWS, TypeScript, React, Terragrunt/OpenTofu

Ideal: early-stage experience, deep experience in healthcare integrations (FHIR, HL7, etc.), thrives solving problems

Fair compensation + equity

JD and application: https://app.dover.com/apply/altirahealth/862317ca-7c42-4dc1-...

daswolle··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)
These are great! I love the natural aesthetic with wood as well. I'm curious: how do you sync them to gps?

The dissonant note with a bad match is great!

daswolle··on Ask HN: Where do you live? What's good or bad about it?
Technically, it’s actually Colon, MI!

I found this out recently and couldn’t believe it was true.

Arguably Vegas is the true capital

Hey, just tried to sign up and looks like your email confirmation is hardcoded to `localhost:3000` :)
daswolle··on Ask HN: Any hardware startups here?
This is really cool! I've seen some videos of these and I'm jealous they're so far away.

What sort of issues do you have? Is the hardware very custom?

It seems like a concept that could explode as a franchise or even template model like escape rooms a few years back.

daswolle··on Ask HN: Meal Planning App?
I'm actively working on (something) this in my free time!

I'm frustrated by all the freemium apps and want to release something completely free for full recipe/shopping management. To me, that's baseline functionality.

The main difference in your description is that the shopping list can be auto generated by selected recipes planned against a calendar. e.g. I want to cook these 5 recipes this week and my shopping list automatically aggregates to say "3 onions" instead of 3 separate entries for onions. I don't have a "pantry" yet but can very easily see that in the future.

daswolle··on Ask HN: What you up to? (Who doesn't want to be hired?)
This sounds awesome. I've had half baked ideas along these lines for different intersections of disciples. Great you're pursuing it and making it a reality!

Are you comfortable sharing any more specifics? Do you have a landing page or is it all offline at the moment?

daswolle··on ReMarkable’s redesigned e-paper tablet is more powerful and more papery
Do they have any ergonomics for left handed people? All the photos show users holding the device with their right hand.
daswolle··on William Binney: 80% of audio calls are recorded and stored in the US
This is cool. Everyone always talks about the idea of recording and analyzing calls, but I've never thought about actual implementation. I appreciate the perspective.
daswolle··on The best resources for SQL?
And these are some links I've been looking at/considering:

daswolle··on Tell HN: How we bootstrapped to the #1 rated mattress on Amazon.com
Have you looked into Amazon Prime?

And I'm definitely a fan. This is perfectly timed and I'll probably be ordering one soon.
