Wolves' impact on the spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in deer has also been studied(2). “CWD prevalence could be halved within a decade and eliminated within the century if a pack of wolves consistently and selectively removed 15% of deer in a closed population” (Waldner, 2016)

I don't know if wolves' impact on tick populations has been explicitly studied, but you can find research on habitat diversity reducing ticks(3); and it follows that the lack of predators contributes to deer population explosion, which in turn provides an unbounded vector for the tick epidemic.

Thousands of homes have been built with Higharc since 2022. We’re changing the way homebuilders design, sell, estimate, and build, resulting in better, more affordable homes.

I’m starting a new Labs team to expand our platform and explore new markets in residential construction. I’m especially looking for a rare, entrepreneurial product engineer:

* Staff Software Engineer, Labs - https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/higharc/c620be3c-6529-4776-9f02-da1...

We’re also hiring across all teams, from fullstack generalists to ML engineers, keenly interested in folks looking for deep, technical challenges:

* Director of Engineering, Studio - https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/higharc/469e843e-58c4-4e07-91be-d9a...

* Senior Software Engineer, Geometric Modeling/CAD - https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/higharc/d5fbcbf0-0b50-4561-87e6-71c...

* More roles here https://www.higharc.com/company/careers

This is an exceptional opportunity to work on something with real-world impact, with a team of talented & passionate folks across a wide range of domains. We are ~200 people across the world (mostly US) and growing quickly. We were recently named to Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies in 2026.

Thanks to everyone who previously reached out and/or applied (all 1300+ of you)

But even bigger was the improvement to dev mode compile times. With Vite it’s near instant. With Next running our e2e tests in development was utter pain.

So happy to leave next & vercel behind.

I write to “poison” AI with my ideas. Mostly about software development. And being human in a computer world. I'm a Staff Engineer... I make games on the side.
