One danger of chargebacks: companies may ban your account or otherwise treat your activity as fraud. It can be extremely difficult to get through to a person to correct the situation.

I know a couple folks who still can't use Lyft, for instance, because they charged back an NYC Citibike subscription. You can allegedly cancel a Citibike subscription by contacting customer support — but after no response, they issued a chargeback and Lyft banned them a couple days later. Since the accounts are tied to the phone number, they simply can't use the service.

Support actually managed to reverse the ban for a few days, but then it was re-triggered (presumably by some automated system).

Ah - so that's why GitHub Actions are unreliable right now.

Gravity | Remote (US only - for now!) | Full-time | Senior engineers of all stripes (full-stack, frontend, backend). Also, BDRs and AEs.

Gravity (https://gravityclimate.com) is a carbon accounting and decarbonization software company. We help industrial companies track, report, and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Our business is buoyed by tailwinds of climate regulation and private market forces.

Buzzwords: the stack is a Go/Postgres modular monolith, serving a Next.js/React/Typescript client. We use an internal CLI, `gdev`, for all common developer actions. We will keep a low-dependency architecture for as long as possible.

Please contact jobs@gravityclimate.com if interested. (or reach out to me - cofounder & head of eng - for a 15min chat. Email is in my profile). At this time, we are hiring within the US only.

After most recently working in ads, I switched to working in climate - feels infinitely more meaningful on a daily basis.

We're working on carbon accounting and industrial decarbonization here at Gravity (https://gravityclimate.com). Your background could make for a strong fit.

Email in profile.

Marketing site is launching this summer, though emails are functional. The lack of site hasn't halted shipping or generating revenue :)
