Val Town | Founding Software Engineer | ONSITE (New York)
Val Town is a social website to write, run, and deploy code. We’re building a social hub where people can write code with zero friction or setup: just open a tab, write some TypeScript, and click run. We think of a “val” as a new web primitive, like a Tweet or Github Repo, that can be forked, liked, shared, commented on, and run. To make it all fit together, we’re building an editing environment, a sandboxed runtime, logging & observability for user code, and social tools like leaderboards, comments, likes, and sharing.
Everybody should be able to code. Coding should be fun. Come build the future of programming with us!
Appreciate the pointer! Really helpful to know. We only have 3 employees, so I don't think we're technically covered by this law, but it's probably a good idea to list a range anyways. Thanks!
This is a discussion forum where people are casually posting about jobs they know about, it's not a job board so the law doesn't apply. There's always some A/Cs with an axe to grind that come on and troll about it anyway.
This seems like dangerous advice for anyone posting here to follow. The point about number of employees is likely more pertinent. Especially considering this from the link that was provided:
> Any advertisement for a job, promotion, or transfer opportunity that would be performed in New York City is covered by the new law. An “advertisement” is a written description of an available job, promotion, or transfer opportunity that is publicized to a pool of potential applicants, including, but not limited to, postings on internal bulletin boards, internet advertisements, printed flyers distributed at job fairs, and newspaper advertisements.
