The title and description the site itself served, answering 200. Not a cached copy and not the company's directory entry — what was live when we asked.
Counted only where a thread links to this company's own site, announces it by name on that forum, or names it beside its own Y Combinator batch. A thread whose title merely carries the words is not counted — a name is not an identifier. More may exist than the one page of results read here. Hacker News is not us, and nothing above is our opinion of the company.
I’m focusing on building distributed infrastructure systems while keeping things as simple as possible. I’m writing code and managing engineering teams, helping team members to be happy, productive and grow their technical and communication skills.
