Hi:

- I'm a senior full-stack developer with over 10 years of professional experience.

- Worked with companies of all sizes. Most recently helped take a company from 60 employees to over 3,000.

- Took a few months off to be with the little ones before they started pre-school/daycare.

The entire hypothesis behind a formal DEI program -- whether or not you agree with it -- is that DEI doesn't happen naturally. Humans tend to gravitate toward (I.E. hire) people similar to themselves for various reasons, and that has to be purposely shifted if the organization is aiming for diversity. If they don't care where they end up, that's a different story.

"Bean counter" logic implies putting cost savings above all else, like maybe Walmart or Amazon would do.

I hope airplane customers (the airlines) care as much about safety as they do cost savings, since their customers certainly do.

Briefed creates summaries for (mostly hard) paywalled content. I built it because it's something that I wanted, but couldn't find (specifically the hard paywalled part). Why did I want this?

1. There are a lot of publications that I'm only tangentially interested in. Not enough to warrant a full subscription but enough to want to get the gist of what they're saying. A step between reading the title and reading the full article. Here's a list of the publications we currently create summaries for: https://briefed.news/publications

2. I often don't have the time to read entire articles. I can save an article as "read later" in my rss app, but I've often lost interest by the time I get to it. Briefed creates two summaries for each article: one detailed, and one tldr. Here is an example of one: https://briefed.news/post/softbank-sues-former-irl-ceo-for-f...

3. Sometimes I've read the full paywalled article and want to read comments here on HN, but hard paywalls limit the engagement those posts will get. Hopefully a detailed summary is enough to start meaningful and curious conversation.

I'm still kicking the tires, so the first 500 people to sign up will get the first year free (normal price is $12/year; the price that I felt I would personally pay for such a service). Use the promo code LAUNCH500 at checkout. The code will be automatically invalidated after 500 people use it.

Let me know what you think! Any feedback , issues, or questions are welcome.

Thanks, Brandon

Sure you could say, "there are some people who just enjoy picking fruit." But are there enough people to satisfy the demand? And even if there are, what do you do with them as that demand decreases? The people who love picking fruit will have to clean toilets.

Either way, it seems you’ve taken rather strong offense to such a small, and rather kind point.

So it’s natural that some readers will scroll through any list of advice and find little of use, while others are able to put the words to good use.
