Looking for a Rust internship as a 4 yrs XP Front end Dev

Hacker News - Wed, 04/16/2025 - 9:40am

Hello Rusties,

I have been working as a frontend dev with tech like React, JS/TS, Astro, Next, etc. along with some backend XP with Python, Flask, Postgres.

I started picking up Rust this week and absolutely love it. It would be a great way to level up by working on real projects as an intern.

My goal is to transition into a full-time Rust Developer in the future.

So, if it's possible to arrange an internship at your company or if you have any leads, you will be much appreciated!

Ask HN: Is shipping speed the most important metric?

Hacker News - Wed, 04/16/2025 - 8:51am

Ever since the advent of AI tools in our workflows, it became even more obvious to me how companies (and most developers) brag about how fast they can deliver value.

As a career-switcher, I always considered programming an activity that lies somewhere between craft and mathematics. However, it feels like we lean towards math Olympiad standards when it comes to recognizing and rewarding one's expertise in the industry.

May I ask: Am I disillusioned, out of touch, or am I right? And why is that? I'm not talking just about startups on seed stage because it's really obvious to me how these are companies that have to hit the market ASAP somehow. But I noticed that trend even in corporate environments (at least in Greece), where the fast shipper gets praised and rewarded, and those who take an extra time to handle complexity introduced are not only frowned upon but they're also perceived as negative assets.

Ask HN: Built a SaaS API, but struggling with traction – advice?

Hacker News - Wed, 04/16/2025 - 8:51am

Hey HN,

A few months ago, I launched https://pagesnap.co — a simple API service that converts websites or raw HTML into high-quality PDFs using headless Chrome. It works well, it’s polished, and technically it solves a real problem (HTML-to-PDF conversion is messy, especially with Tailwind, dark mode, or JavaScript-heavy pages).

Since launching, I’ve put quite a bit of effort into marketing:

* Wrote blog posts and documentation * Created a YouTube intro video * Answered relevant questions on Reddit, Quora, Google Ads * Built backlinks and directory listings * Created Facebook, X.com accounts to post content

But so far… results have been pretty underwhelming. I’m getting a few signups, and some free trial signups, but very few convert, and traffic is nowhere near what I hoped despite the effort.

I’m wondering if other indie hackers / solo SaaS founders have experienced something similar — and what eventually worked for you? How did you find your first 50–100 paying customers when organic and content marketing wasn’t taking off?

Would also genuinely appreciate feedback on the product or site itself: https://pagesnap.co

Thanks a ton in advance
