We are an autonomous robot orchestration platform already live and operating in the logistics and delivery domain and can offer the stability of a well-funded, semi-governmental incubation with the speed, culture, and upside of a high-growth startup.

We aren’t looking for a specialized ticket solver. We need a high-agency engineer to own critical pieces of our stack (currently Kotlin/Spring/Postgres/AWS/Next).

You will thrive here if you value pragmatism over perfection and autonomy over oversight. You don't wait for tasks; you identify what needs to be built next to move the needle. You are comfortable working in a high-velocity environment where you define the roadmap, prioritize the work, and see it through.

Hi Andreas, I tried emailing you but seems like it is getting blocked. Sent you a linkedIn request hoping to have a conversation there :)

Dear Akull,

tried mailing you , getting delivery has failed

Sublime has a place in my heart, it was my first editor as IDE when I started 15 years ago. Such a great piece of software, thanks for all the work!

Same boat right now, startup bankrupt, interviewing is just harassment and don’t know if I want to work in this dysfunctional domain anymore

Totally get what you mean, I’m old enough that I don’t swallow this shit anymore and fight back though which leads to no job for me, haha…

I do this for writing, whether it's a book, an article or a D&D campaign. For me it's not about speed at all, it's the natural way my mind works and if I try to do this linear, line by line, I face blockades soon in the process.

Absolute control freaks. No idea about your culture if you don't trust your applicants/employees...

I wouldn't recommend it either, it is a very simplistic view of coding with some bad advice intermingled. Obviously reality is much more complex than any book could describe and there is benefit to think about bad examples as well as good ones.

Though it is an ill-defined term clean (clear, readable, reasonable, understandable) code is important in the sense that accidental complexity should be minimized and encapsulated and necessary complexity should be understandable.
