> I'd bet my money on Remix model and direction vs Nextjs
With Nextjs 13, the patterns are actually kind of converge. See this whole thread from Ryan at Remix with his thoughts on it: https://twitter.com/ryanflorence/status/1586820806625046529

I wonder how they could have arrived at "seven." Why not go with the max allowable of ten? This seems a bit miserly in an otherwise pretty decent package.
Darwinism, conversely, is about selection from within a range of traits already present (i.e. beak size).
These frogs come in a variety of colors. Dark colors have a better fitness for the highly radioactive environment. Those are the ones that reproduce. This is textbook Darwinian evolution.
What am I supposed to get inspired about on this page?
For items that look like they ?might? be exciting, they seem hidden behind vagueness: "Official Cloud Native Buildpacks for Heroku languages"
Contrast this with Render's public roadmap: https://feedback.render.com/
That has nice, plain english. I know what they're building, and I can start dreaming about what I might build with it.
It makes me feel like we're on the verge of having a really great tool in this space. (Or maybe even two.)

The two websites I linked above are donation based, and both are growing. I think this is a reasonably viable model for larger metropolitan neighborhoods and wealthier suburbs. Although frankly, I'd like to find a way to spread local news to all parts of the country.
The second angle would be some sort of aggregation play around local desires (e.g. a riff on Ben Thompson and Aggregator Theory). Google/Facebook allow you to target ads by geography and interest, which obviously eviscerates a lot of local ad revenue. But could there be another way to bundle & slice interests plus content? For example, you do local, irl interest (cycling clubs? garden walks?). Or perhaps you do an emphasize on privacy + irl experience? I don't have a great idea here (yet?) - but I refuse to believe there isn't something.
For example, what would it take to have something like Berkleyside[1] for every small town in the country? Or what about something like Block Club[2]
If anyone wants to spit ball ideas for this, I'd love to riff: https://calendly.com/evan-arnold/riff-on-local-news?month=20...

Hi, one of the co-founders of Yard Stick here. We help farmers get paid to fight climate change. We do so with a category-creating tool for measuring the amount of carbon that is sequestered in soil. We believe that accurate, affordable, and fast carbon measurements will fundamentally change both the economics and the legitimacy of agriculture-backed carbon credits. Done right, this will put an entire industry to work in the service of the environment. We're backed by leading climate tech investors, such as BEV and Lowercarbon, and we're looking to grow.
We have two open roles: a senior software engineer and a senior electrical engineer. I hope to hear from you!
At Yard Stick, we help farmers get paid to fight climate change. We do so with a category-creating tool for measuring the amount of carbon that is sequestered in soil.
You may have heard of “regenerative agriculture.” This is a collection of farming and ranching practices (such as no-till or crop rotation) with enormous potential to improve soil health, while pulling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. However, it is difficult to measure the impact of these practices. Current methods are slow, expensive, and cumbersome. (Think slide-hammer + mailing soil across the country.)
We believe that accurate, affordable, and fast carbon measurements will fundamentally change both the economics and the legitimacy of agriculture-backed carbon credits. Done right, this will put an entire industry to work in the service of the environment.
Yard Stick is a remote-first, seed-phase company, with founders based in Boston, Oakland, and Chicago. We have several open roles:
Senior Software Engineer: https://useyardstick.notion.site/Senior-Software-Engineer-Re...
Senior Data Engineer: https://useyardstick.notion.site/Senior-Data-Engineer-4806cf...
Lead Mechanical Engineer: https://useyardstick.notion.site/Lead-Mechanical-Engineer-5c...
Device Software Engineer (IoT / Sensors): https://useyardstick.notion.site/Device-Software-Engineer-Io...
Yard Stick is an early-stage measurement startup on a mission to stop climate change with agriculture. Scientists and farmers alike know that climate-friendly agricultural practices have the potential to remove atmospheric CO2 at gigaton/year scale. When these practices are adopted, more carbon is stored in soils, improving soil health and fighting climate change. But significant measurement challenges have held soil carbon efforts back - until now.
By reducing the cost of soil carbon measurement by 90%+, Yard Stick will dramatically expand the opportunities for evidence-based regenerative practices to simultaneously improve ecosystem health, increase farmer income, and combat climate change.
Also, cofounder here. In the last months, we've raised not-yet-announced funding, and we've grown the team from 3 to 7 people. Now is a fantastic time to join. Take a look at our open roles here: https://useyardstick.notion.site/Careers-at-Yard-Stick-f58f4...
Stressed by latest IPCC report on climate change? Come join us so that you can part of the solution.
At Yard Stick we are developing hardware and software that will make it fast, affordable, and easy to measure the amount of carbon sequestered in soil. This enables two transformative changes. First, climate-minded growers will be able to sell carbon credits, which creates financial upside for earth-helping practices. Second, we will be able to quantify the impact of regenerative farming, so that more energy will be directed towards efforts with demonstrable climate benefits. Wins all around.
We have funding, customers, and a roadmap: what we need to do now is code. You will be our second full-time hire, and therefore we need someone passionate about building a mission-driven company.
On a personal note: before co-founding Yard Stick, I (Evan, head of software) spent almost two years trying to answer the question, “How can my experience in delivering SaaS products be applied to the climate crisis?” Here is where I finally found my answer.
Our app is built using Ruby on Rails with a sprinkling of Stimulus written in Typescript, along with Tailwind CSS. These choices reflect an engineering ethos: the reason we’re writing code is to enable our customers to sequester carbon. We use proven tools to get there faster.
To apply send me an email directly at evan@useyardstick.com. Briefly answer the following Qs, and we’ll follow up ASAP:
- Why you’re interested in the role
- A line or two about relevant experience
- A few sentences about a coding challenge you’re proud of solving. Code sample welcome but not required.
The tool to fix the broken tool is the broken tool.

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer. You should enjoy all aspects of design, from speaking with customers, through UX design, up to measuring the adoption of a feature. You will be our second full-time hire, and therefore we need someone passionate about building a mission-driven company. Market rate salary (anchored to SF) with generous equity.

We're tackling this exact problem at Yard Stick (https://www.useyardstick.com/) - developing a new way to measure soil carbon that is fast, accurate and affordable, with backing by ARPA-E and in collaboration with the Soil Health Institute.
Later this week, I'm going to post a contract-to-hire position. In the meantime, email me at evan@useyardstick.com
Previously, you'd have had to use something like Jumio for this, which was (to be generous) pretty wonky.
I'm wondering (at the risk of being paranoid) why on earth an ad would have your laptop broadcast static.
We're looking for our engineer #4 to help build our product, our team, and our company. A small pivot has led to great product-market fit, and we now have acres of green field that need designing & coding.
How we make money: If you own a building that leases to office or commercial tenants, you need insurance. This is true if the economy is growing or crumbling. And as a result of this mandatory nature, this industry has not evolved to use modern technology. Workflows are manual. Communication is messy and time-consuming. People often don’t know what they’re buying or why. Obie sells commercial real estate insurance in a new way, one which emphasizes transparency and human-centric automation.
Our stack is Typescript, Node, GraphQL (Apollo Client & Server), and React. We're looking for someone set best practices and lead development for our backend. Several years in overall coding experience is preferred, although the quality of this experience will be valued more highly than its duration.
To apply (or if you're just curious) please email careers@obiecre.com.

Signing up with a typical SaaS service these days typically involves 1) a qualification call with an SDR (wastes 30ish minutes), 2) a redundant qualification call with an AE (roughly 30 minutes where they probe you for price sensitivity), 3) a 2-3 day delay while they draw up a really high anchor for your price, 4) two or three iterations of you fighting the price (wastes an hour each time), 5) you sign a contract with a lingering uncertainty you got ripped off.
Repeat for the 20-30 SaaS providers you end up using. It's a huge time suck for a dubious benefit. I would love to pay to make that go away in the future.
Since I'm not a history, I don't feel comfortable judging accuracy. Instead, I would trust a historian's peers writing reviews in trusted publications.
