Reading these stories makes me so grateful for @neynar’s process

Went from DMing @rish to

- intro call
- 2 technical interviews
- culture fit chat
- job offer

in 10 days start to finish.

Total time on calls was ~3 hours. Spent maybe 20min of that writing code (with AI ofc) and the rest was deep technical talk

Btw we’re hiring backend and frontend devs https://neynar.notion.site/Neynar-Careers-8dcf68535f884f819111dccb4598551c

Second this. It was a very well done process for me too, and love working with this team 💜

Jobs

A tale of two interview processes (neither of which I got):

BigCorp
- 12 interviews over 10 months (!)
- 2 rejections from people I never met followed up weeks later with a callback that yes they did indeed want me and please do another interview
- constantly being told they wanted my experience but being interviewed for different skills
- led to a general icky feeling towards said corp and ceasing my use of their product 

ScrappyCorp
- 6 interviews + paid work trial over 3 months
- meeting with people who actually knew who I was and went as far as reading my blog
- general bullishness towards team and product with good vibes even though it didn’t work out

There’s a right and a wrong way to do things ;)

only 5% of users will use stables directly. the rest will use coinbase/paypal/visa, which will offer chargebacks. same as cash vs credit card today.

everything is only 5% truly decentralized, and that 5% is absolutely worth fighting for

we may not have "it" yet. or we might and will only know it in retrospect. hard to tell.

looking back at history, it was hard to see who'd unseat behemoths of the past. but unseated they were.

this would be super helpful. we just had a long discussion at neynar about which domain our app should live at, because its a hard-to-change-later kind of decision. this would add much-needed flexibility

functions i never thought id have to write
