New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: How to deal with a cofounder not pulling their weight?

Ask HN: How to deal with a cofounder not pulling their weight? 7 by engineercodex | 5 comments on Hacker News. I'm a technical founder who connected with a semi-technical cofounder in January. At this time, we connected pretty well because he saw the vision I had and seemed to be pretty motivated. We talked for hours about the idea, vision, poked holes through it, etc. He was a go-getter who wasn't afraid to DM people and reach out to people to ask for things. In the beginning, he made a pitch deck and applied to some grants, which I thought would be an indicator of motivation. We got rejected for those since we need more traction before we continue forward. However, since then, there has been no substantial work done on his part. It's been a few months now and I'm very frustrated now. Red flags for me: - Everything has been ideated, designed, and implemented by me (other than the name + logo). He has 0 contribution other than feedback on what the screen looks like. ...

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Am I dead meat already?

Ask HN: Am I dead meat already? 16 by tHrOwAwAyXQWE | 22 comments on Hacker News. Hi. I've been in the profession (SW Eng) for about 18 yrs now. A few years from my 50s. Didn't go the managerial route. Stayed technical. My current gig is in a very difficult and complex project written in C. Been there for 2 yrs now and I'm afraid that due to the ancient tech stack and despite being a good engineer I'm loosing my marketability. After enduring bad behavior for nth time (yeah it's a toxic workplace) I decided I had enough and did a round of applications. Mostly for backend positions and mostly for golang positions. I don't have prod xp with golang but it's close to C and every time I've used it it seemed ok. But the problem is that I'm either being ignored or skipped over. All jobs are for seniors in the _specific_tech_stack_. Other positions I've applied for and got no response whatsoever are architects, tech managers and the like. Granded, this...
