Ideally a founding engineer role at an early stage company, but open to offers. I like sinking my teeth into infra, systems, and AI. Currently working on an agent that helps combat cognitive debt, and monitors my self hosted personal cloud. Previously wrote an OS that plays pong (paging, uACPI, keyboard & sound drivers), and a competitive programming judge. Contracted for ZeroEntropy (YC W25), where I shipped their dashboard and a dev-friendly landing page/blog architecture. Also interned at Google, where I built a C++ telemetry pipeline for GCP network monitoring.
I haven't found noise cancelling headphones that don't cause pressure. And with Bose it's like some weird negative something sensation - like disturbingly quiet. I presume it's what those sound proof rooms feel like from what I've heard described.
Yeah, I get it. ANC can feel like you're underwater sometimes, but ear plugs won't get rid of that pressure feeling. You'd need an actually quiet room, which I guess is my ideal anyways.
I have a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones, and they are so comfortable that I can wear them all day. They also get so quiet that they made me realize that I have tinnitus.
I never really understood how people can wear headphones all day. I have the XM5 headphones, and after a couple of hours, it starts hurting my head. What am I doing wrong? I also have the earbuds of the same generation, and they're much more comfortable, but the noise cancelling is less consistent.
