Simple Analytics | DevOps Engineer | REMOTE (worldwide, any timezone) | Full-time, 32h, 24h possible | €5,000/month (full-time) | https://www.simpleanalytics.com/jobs/devops
Hi HN, I'm Adriaan. Simple Analytics exists thanks to HN: it started with my Show HN in 2018 [1]. Today we're a self-funded, profitable team of four building privacy-first analytics.
Privacy is why we run our own bare-metal servers instead of the cloud. We're preparing for a LOT more traffic, and you'll own the infrastructure and its reliability. We have good documentation. First project: leading the infra side of our Elasticsearch to ClickHouse migration, with Alex, our developer.
Stack: Ansible, OpenTofu, Docker Compose, Grafana, GitHub Actions, TypeScript. Clear async communication matters more than knowing every tool.
A tip for the upcoming ones: please tell us about yourself instead of repeating the job ad back to us. Leave your AI off for 10 minutes, and give us those spelling mistakes!
As feedback I just want to say, the salary feels low. I work in the Netherlands too and I think I’d have all your requirements. However, the job would be a big step down in salary - that’s also compared to similar roles I see around.
When you say "Full-time, 32h, 24h possible | €5,000/month (full-time)" is the €5,000/month salary pegged at 40h/week so that the actual payment is scaled up/down based on the number of hours worked per week?
Mostly focused on BOM, schematics, and firmware now but slowly expanding to circuit boards if we feel we can deliver real value there. Early experiments with Astra are promising
Love what samuel and his team are building over in the Netherlands!
Always thought it would be fun if there was a more beginner friendly version of atopile [1].
Cool! Looks like a company that grew out of §3.3.4 of SICP. Hardware oriented NixOS and GUIX users should be very interested in this: declarative PCB designs.
I find it almost funny how hostile the response is when a company actually goes through the effort of supporting Linux. Apparently shipping the Linux version is only step one, you also need to pick the right framework, use the right packaging, consume the right amount of RAM, and preferably rewrite it natively.
HN comment quality took a nosedive recently, You can predict the comments just based on the story, almost all of them cynical and snarky remarks. It used to be a place to come and learn from technical experts.
We live in an era where companies are increasingly hostile towards their users and society at large. Where regulation has been stripped or ignored to maximize the profits of a handful of monopolies, where companies don‘t even have to pretend to care about their customers anymore, nor the usability of their product. Seemingly companies don‘t even bother to test their products anymore before selling it to their customers. And companies that engage in the most consumer hostile behavior are the ones who are most rewarded for that behavior.
I think this cynicism is more then warranted. If anything HN is not cynical enough to meet the times we are in.
The AI boosters have driven away all experts. They are either financially invested or mindless power users on the level of the proverbial MacOS fanboys.
Experts related to real programming topics are gone or silent. AI experts have never even been here in the first place. It is all about Electron apps, prompts, agents and other bullshit.
> I find it almost funny how hostile the response is when a company actually goes through the effort of supporting Linux.
How magnanimous: they make the effort to support the OS their entire company is based on? It's not just for training the model and hosting them: it's also to run them, where they constantly use Linux to do their thing.
Without Linux, there's no OpenAI.
So I take it the Linux community should be so grateful that OpenAI supports Linux, right?
They use Linux because it's there. If Linux wasn't there, they'd use what's there. There is nothing about Linux that makes it unique enough to be make or break OpenAI. Not one thing.
And yes, when a company distributes their app for the Linux desktop, we should be grateful or at the very least not hostile.
The attitude of Linux zealots is honestly tiresome and it makes us all look bad.
