noashavit··on Ask HN: Recruiters Ghosting
Depends on the following the person has and how vocal they are. Consider someone with a million followers calling out a company by name on socials and sharing their experience. Dev rels have done driven bans and caused monetary losses before.
noashavit··on Ask HN: Recruiters Ghosting
Thanks for the reply, I did reach out and did not hear back. This is the first time this has happened to me in my 18 year career, so I don't think it's me. I've spoken to other ppl searching for a job now and have heard of similar stories which is just sad.

It's my job to find a job, you're right. It's the recruiters job to represent the company. Canceling a meeting with no notice and not replying to emails asking about it is not just unprofessional but negatively impacts brand perception.

noashavit··on Show HN: Trellis, ETL specifically for unstructured data
Congrats on the launch!

Doesn't Airbyte handle semi-structured and unstructured data? How are you different?

noashavit··on Show HN: I Built an AI Tool That Humorously Roasts Your Product's Design
Love the name! Perplexity gets a 7.5 lol
noashavit··on Show HN: Drago – I am building a logistics platform for businesses
You should really have some info on your landing page/ homepage if you want ppl to sign up and use it. Purchasing a custom domain would also make you look like you are more evolved/further down the line than using the Vercel subdomain

Or- if you don't have the time / resources to do that, consider creating a waiting list for beta users and position it as early access, rather than "it's a beta and can be buggy"

Good luck!

noashavit··on Ask HN: How to improve appointment / demo show up rates
Yeah, I wouldn't recommend you incentivize people to meet with you unless you know they are your target (i.e. you have defined ICPs).
noashavit··on Ask HN: Should I have a free tier while starting out?
Implement a time based free trial (e.g. 14 day trial) / usage based free tier (up to x users/ y API requests), etc.

These are ways to gate your product while still being able to provide users with a way to experience and validate it for free. I hope this helps

noashavit··on Apple apologizes for iPad 'Crush' ad that 'missed the mark'
Tariffs aren’t bans. It’s just tax. There are many countries that currently have 100% tariffs on imported cars and ppl still import those cars
noashavit··on Is AI lying to me? Scientists warn of growing capacity for deception
It’s not lying if that’s the info you provided. You need intent to lie. AI doesn’t lie, just like it isn’t racist- it just displays the bias that is on the web
noashavit··on US set to impose 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicle imports
Makes sense to me. Many countries impose tariffs on importing cars. Especially when they expect a mass influx of those vehicles to flood the market. Within china, they are incentivizing ppl to buy electric by imposing high registration fees for non EVs. They have stated clearly that they want to dominate the EVa market, so makes sense we will impose tariffs to try and protect domestic car manufacturers
noashavit··on Apple apologizes for iPad 'Crush' ad that 'missed the mark'
Why did they have to go and ruin the piano tho?
noashavit··on Social engineering takeovers of open source projects
It’s not the new contributors, but older ones that might have already built a rapport with you so you are less critical in your review. That what happened at Xz utility and the hacker nearly got access to every Linux machine out there.
noashavit··on Ask HN: 1Password or Bitwarden or Others for teams at Startups?
1password has the least context switching as it autofills passwords from apps/browser
noashavit··on Ask HN: How can I advertise my open source project for almost no money
I don’t think your audience would care about oss, maybe focus on the free aspect and share it on hacker news show, Reddit, quora, and consider a product hunt campaign and LinkedIn promotion in relevant groups.

You’re going to write about it and link to it from forums your audience visits to learn, if you want to get their attention for free.

noashavit··on Ask HN: Best way to build an SEO friendly, high content site in 2024?
For a content heavy site you need a cms first and foremost. Wordpress has free seo plugins, as do many of the others. But you will need to learn a bit about the basics of on page seo to make infuse keywords correctly, interlink, use appropriate url structure and metadata etc
noashavit··on Ask HN: Should I have a free tier while starting out?
Who is your audience? If they are developers or technical users I would highly recommend a fee tier. If they aren’t but the product can lead them to an aha moment fairly quickly I would recommend a free trial
noashavit··on Ask HN: How to improve appointment / demo show up rates
Incentive for a demo isn’t new. It might increase your demo rate but might also introduce some leads to the funnel that want the incentive more than they want to learn about your product. So my recommendation to you would be to share the incentive with qualified demos, a questionare is nice, but a qualified demo is pipeline.

How much you offer for the gift card depends on your offering and audience, but if you’re thinking about around 100$ a pop, perhaps invest in AirPods or equivalent instead (at $150). Getting an actual device in the mail is more appealing than a gift card

noashavit··on Figma OSS Alternative
There are also tools that convert figma to html
noashavit··on Ask HN: How important are keyboard shortcuts for new SaaS?
If your users are developers than it is a nice added bonus, but it most likely won't be the reason you win or lose deals. I hope this helps!
noashavit··on Show HN: I built a non-linear UI for ChatGPT
Congrats on the launch! I love that you let ppl try it without even signing up! The mobile experience needs to work tho.
noashavit··on Show HN: I made a better Perplexity for developers
Congrats on the launch! Great UI, better even than that of Perplexity :-)
noashavit··on Do you need a dentist visit every 6 months? That filling? The data is weak
This is so subjective. Some have the right genes and behavioral patterns and can get by going on every year or two, while others need more upkeep to maintain their oral health.
noashavit··on Easy way to A/B test code?
Green. You want a green button.

There are split test services out there, like Optimizely.

noashavit··on Need Your Inputs on Outbounds
How are you different from Clay? ( I’m not a bdr, but on the gtm team)
noashavit··on Freemium vs. Paid
It depends on your product. I’d focus on free trial vs free tier if I was you, and would lean more toward the free tier the more technical your product is.

Good luck ;-)

noashavit··on Show HN: Android app that forces Spotify to play random tracks
I need this for iOS!
noashavit··on Show HN: A free site to explore and discover 6k plants
This is great, thanks for feeding my addiction :-)
noashavit··on Ask HN: What is the real reason ppl hating internet explorer?
Performance. Firefox’s angle against IE was privacy, and it attracted a lot of techies. When Chrome came out it won the game with superior browsing speed
noashavit··on Ask HN: How do you switch between multiple programming languages while coding?
IDE linters can help detect formatting errors as you code. https://megalinter.io and https://trunk.io can help
noashavit··on Is Google Analytics Broken?
Yes
