Yeah in our last year at my previous company, we spent over ~$400k on what amounted to about ~512GB of memory across our fleet of 8 instances on a PaaS vendor. We were almost always memory bound, so I don't even know the compute side.
Given that the hardware itself now costs less than 8k to purchase outright, just seemed ridiculous. Albeit we did have SOC2, enterprise plan, etc, but it was a painful bill every quarter.
Earth Wallet is a startup that's building cutting-edge decentralized technology to take on the centralized tech giants. Our mission is to create a more fair and transparent digital ecosystem where individuals and communities have control over their identities, media, and financial assets.
We're looking for passionate and talented individuals to join our core team and help us launch a new decentralized social network. Here are some of the roles we're currently hiring for:
Head of Design: You'll create great human experiences for the decentralized web, ensuring healthier humans on Earth instead of optimizing for 'user engagement' and destroying the mental health of the human race.
Head of Engineering: You'll utilize your exceptional engineering skills to create the most secure and dependable products and services in the market. You'll be responsible for continuously refining and enhancing our technology and security infrastructure to ensure that we remain at the forefront of industry best practices, and continuously exceeds the expectations of the market.
If you're passionate about building a better digital future and want to work on cutting-edge decentralized technology, we'd love to hear from you. Please send your resume and a brief introduction to careers@earthwallet.io.
If anyone is interested in trying to help solve "the social dilemma" (www.thesocialdilemma.com), collaborators is the right type of people we're looking to work with. The project has just been announced and you can learn more here:
We won't compete against facebook and other big tech compensation because we aren't planning to exploit peoples data, democratic systems, etc. for money. But if you are a talented engineer who wants to apply their skills to something bigger than making money, consider collaborating with us.
If this is a social network, you should probably include a screenshot of the interface, features, and what a post looks like, so people know what to expect
Yeah I think it's a major transition for both employees and employers to figure out where to go from here. I suspect the best thing for people looking for new work is to find something that matches your values. As a startup founder, I started Earth Wallet around these core values - Creating a Better Planet, Innovating & Evolving, and Trust & Respect.
If anyone believes in these values, we offer a flexible, remote-friendly lifestyle, with two meetups a year at cool places like Bali, Greece, Costa Rica, Barbados, and adding new ones as time goes on! So if you're a developer looking for a new way of working in the decentralization space, feel free to reach me at developers@earthwallet.io!

This is such a tired line. It's like reading, "So and so company who just got caught doing shady shit really takes shady shit seriously and we intend to fully investigate the matter. We fully respect so and so and this and that."
I'm not saying you are doing shady shit, but it reads as the same phony stuff as any PR drone has been regurgitating for the last 40 years.
So not to single you out, but I've been seeing a lot of pitches from recruiters recently, and after a few interviews where afterwards the recruiter circles back and clarifies "so by remote-friendly we mean they will let you work from home maybe once or twice a week, instead of never, is that okay?", or "it's remote...but only until labor day" (what all companies have deemed 'post-covid' apparently). So I'm quickly learning to avoid jobs that advertise themselves as 'remote-friendly'.
If you're 100% remote or 'remote except a couple of optional team building events' or 'remote except come into the office once every month or two', I would be very specific and say so, and not just say 'remote-friendly' or 'remote-flexible' (even just saying 'remote' is starting to be suspicious), because those terms seem to have morphed into a signal that the opposite is true.
Also, if your company was remote before the pandemic, you should also say that, because that gives me reason to believe it will stay that way, instead of being another bait-and-switch "we're 100% remote!...for a few more months".
Hey everyone, anyone interested in working full time on decentralizing social networks this is your call to action. We are sponsoring top tier corporate engineers to switch to open source, and push development of the protocols that are necessary for decentralization to work at humanity scale. Specifically:
* Matrix Protocol: Help scale the rust implementation of matrix.org to make it able to handle millions-billions of concurrent users.
* Substrate Runtime: Build Decentralized Finance and Governance systems to enable the social network to grow and govern itself, without the need for centralized corporations or middlemen selling you ads.
* IPFS: Scale humanities knowledge by connecting social.network to a global scale distributed file storage built for Web3.
In addition we are also hiring senior front end developers and designers, and there are genesis allocations available for community members to join the community and help us prepare for the upcoming canary network launch!
For more information please email us at hn@social.network or apply to position at https://social.network/jobs.
This is effectively social.network. It’s powered by a decentralized autonomous organization called the Social DAO which is where username registration, governance, and economic incentives are coded. The goal is to change from an ad driven model to one that creates a better society for future generations.
