- irreverentmikeAppreciate you sharing! Public APIs for-the-public are super interesting. I'd love to see more creative uses of these APIs to keep our governments and politicians accountable.

Craftwork (YC S23) is a full-service home painting company that uses software to dramatically improve the homeowner and operators experience. We’re starting with the $20B+ home painting industry as a low-risk, high margin entry point before expanding to support the broader $500B+ home services market.
Since launching in early 2023, we’ve grown revenue between 50% - 100% monthly, and have raised capital from some of the best investors in the world including Forerunner Ventures, Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Lachy Groom, Jeff Jordan, Immad Akhund, Evan Moore, Louis Beryl, and more.
We're seeking a highly experienced Ruby on Rails Full Stack Engineer to join and amplify our product team, and to rapidly build and ship software that powers our growing business as we expand into new markets.
Our engineering team is amazing, and our product has been growing _fast_ - we now support internal workflows for communication / operations, the full funnel of customer marketing, we're deploying a mobile app for our internal teams, all with AI sprinkled in.
This is a role where you'll be asked to navigate some real ambiguity and ship fast to solve meaningful problems. We land features every week that help our team and customers as we scale.

- Cognition and behavioral science is a heck of a thing. Having a better understanding of how the mind works is an underrated tool for product teams. In this writeup, I talk a bit about why 3-column pricing tables are ubiquitous, and the psychology behind it.
- I am a huge fan of hardcover! I've been using it to recommend books to my friends and newsletter subscribers for a while now. It's gotten tons of great attention over the past few months, too.
Keep it up - and congrats on the launch!
