Same here, sent and email 3 times across the last 2 years, no reply

your first two application were generic and ignored the few basic questions that we ask in the posting, thus subsequent one didn't get reviewed

I applied in February, included answers to your questions, my email was not generic - it was fully handwritten for your post, it only talked about things relevant to Puma, and included a CV. I received no response either.

I'll be honest, it's not looking good for you

Which of these two are not generic? There's dozens you spammed us and other startup founders with. Some are just empty emails with just CV. None were sent in Feb fyi.

"I have attached my resume in response to your posting. I am interested in interviewing ASAP."

"Good afternoon, I saw your post on HackerNews and I am interested in interviewing. Best, Brian"

I'm not Brian. I also doubt Jose or Gleb were Brian. You're talking to another person now. I am the third person who replied to you in this thread. My friend, should you be hiring people if you get lost in a chat thread?

thanks Gmail for Google Workspace for pulling Brian's threads when searched for `boltzmann-brain`.

but yeah, if you bump the thread with `html5cat` mentioned i'll personally look into it – my goal is to respond to every earnestly submitted application despite the sea of AI slop.

update: found your email – definitely well written but didn't have GitHub so it got skipped.

doubtful you've found the right email, but it's ok - the extent to which you're repeatedly confused about basic facts shows I'd hate having someone like that decide about my ongoing employment.

Sweden remote? roles say bay area hybrid

"What will you do in your first week?"

-> what do companies actually expect an applicant to answer here?

These kind of questions make no sense to me in an online application.

Does not belong on an online app if you ask me or in general. Still will see how it goes but not confident given the comments here.

Same, applied multiple times since 2025, they always post the same ads.

FWIW this application requires the candidate to do a 5 minute screen recording showcasing a python project, it is a requirement for the candidate to include their face in the video:

    Record and upload a video: facecam + screensharing, unedited, 5 minutes.
    Show us a Python project of yours that...

Very good to know thanks!

FWIW it is fair if they hire abroad.

Global? Careers page only includes USA and Brazil

The role is Global, Workable just has terrible settings for Globally remote roles.

For any global applicants, feel free to just send an email with a resume.

As an international contractor, I have found freelancing gigs on here. I can imagine those willing to relocate or within a major tech hub might get contacted for salaried positions. I can also tell you that is common to find someone leaving a comment similar to yours every now and then.

I've also been contacted by a few people across the years. I post about the same text every 2-3 "who wants to be hired". It's a bit niche though.

Email: look into my portfolio above

Freelance developer and consultant. I contribute to the frameworks your stack runs on — shipped patches to Ecto, Phoenix LiveView, PostGraphile, and PowerSync. Full-stack from UI to CI/CD, specializing in web apps and eCommerce. I'm interested in C++ opportunities. I don't write it professionally, but I've learned Rust, Go, and Elixir by contributing to production codebases, and I'd approach C++ the same way.
