Meticulous (YC S21) Is Hiring #3 Engineer to Build AI for Testing
Hey HN!
I’m Gabriel, CEO and co-founder of Meticulous.
Our mission is to radically accelerate the pace of software development for every company in the world. We’re starting with a tool to catch UI bugs in web applications with zero-effort from developers.
How it works: Insert a single line of JavaScript onto your site, and we record thousands of real user sessions. We then replay these sessions on head and base commits of PRs, take screenshots at key points, and diff those screenshots to catch visual regressions before they hit production. We employ novel techniques to eliminate flakes. You can watch a 60-second demo at [meticulous.ai](http://meticulous.ai/).
We are a London-based YC company. Our engineering team previously worked at Dropbox, Opendoor, Palantir and Google, and have previously led 100+ engineer organizations at these companies. We raised $4m and are backed by some of the best founders and technical leaders in Silicon Valley, including Guillermo Rauch (founder Vercel, author next.js), Jason Warner (CTO GitHub), Scott Belsky (CPO Adobe), Calvin French-Owen (founder Segment), Jared Friedman (YC partner and former CTO of Scribd) and a bunch of other incredible folks.
Catching visual regressions is just the start. There is an entire category of products to build on top of replay. This ranges from catching exceptions to revealing the performance impact of frontend code.
We want to change the way the world develops software, and influence software approaches for decades to come.
We are seeding a London office and hiring an onsite founding engineer to join our team of four. We sponsor visas.
You will have autonomy in building out this technology, but here are a few problems you might work on:
– Build a distributed system to concurrently replay thousands of sessions, such that a developer gets a result in seconds.
– Speed up the replay of sessions in a way that retains determinism.
– Derive algorithms to detect sessions that cover differing code paths and edge cases, and ignore sessions that are too similar.
– Help build out a team of world-class, highly collaborative, software engineers.
As founding engineer, you get to shape the company, and build the culture and technology from the ground up.
What we look for:
In a sentence: Technically brilliant, delightful to work with, combined with a self-awareness and strong desire to improve. We also want to make sure everyone is highly supportive of each other; we win as a team.
We’re currently only looking to bring on folks with senior level skill sets and 5+ years of industry experience. You should have strong web fundamentals and a deep love for software engineering. Maybe you enjoy programming books like Clean Code, Designing Data Intensive Applications, Pragmatic Programmer etc. or enjoy hacking on interesting side projects. You value transparency and candid feedback, and are motivated by a strong desire to become the best engineer you can be.
You can read about our values here https://ruby-wish-a8f.notion.site/Mission-Values-979c32ec58e…
You will be given the space and time to up-level yourself as an engineer in terms of conferences, reading, or whatever you think will be most valuable. We will also set you up with mentorship, if you desire it, from top engineering leaders (folks running 100-engineer organizations at the world’s leading tech companies).
You’ll get to work alongside some of the best engineers there are, break new ground solving truly novel CS problems and deliver something that transforms how software is built.
If this sounds interesting, please reach out to me at gabe [at] meticulous [dot] ai with “HN” in the subject line and 2-3 sentences about what you find interesting about Meticulous and your resume/LinkedIn/GitHub.

Mr. Monopoly would be a better Fed chairman
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the consumer price index (CPI) has risen 16% under President Biden. The CPI rose 3.2% in the year ending in July, an acceleration from the 3% reading in June.
Such rapid devaluation of the currency has some people referring to the dollar as “Monopoly money,” but it turns out that’s unfair to the eponymous board game.
In fact, if the nation had begun using Monopoly money in 1935, when the game first went on sale, inflation over the last 88 years would have been substantially lower because the supply of Monopoly money has grown much less than that of Federal Reserve notes.
That is an amazing fact considering that the only board games with higher lifetime sales are chess and checkers, and they had head starts of hundreds and thousands of years, respectively.
WHOLESALE INFLATION ACCELERATES IN JULY FOR FIRST TIME IN 13 MONTHS
Approximately 1.8 million Monopoly games were sold in the first year of its release, beginning in 1935, with each game containing $20,580. The initial money supply of Monopoly money was about $37 billion.
Amazingly, that is almost exactly the same as the M2 money supply in 1935 of $39 billion, as calculated by Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz.
Since Monopoly’s introduction, about 300 million games have been sold, including its many variants. Today’s Monopoly money supply of $6,174 billion is 16,586% higher than it was in 1935. If that seems like an astronomical increase, consider what M2 has done over that same time.
Data from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System show the money supply rose to $21,577 billion in 2022, which is 55,226% higher than it was in 1935. The supply of Federal Reserve notes has grown more than three times faster than the supply of Monopoly money.
This actually overstates the amount of Monopoly money in existence because many games have been thrown away over the last 88 years, but even this inflated figure still proves that Monopoly money’s growth has been more in line with growth in the real economy than M2 has.
JOB GROWTH CONTINUES TO DECLINE AS FED EYES ANOTHER RATE HIKE
Real gross domestic product (GDP), measured in 2012 dollars, was $986.905 billion in 1935. In 2022, it was $20,014.128, an increase of 1,928%. Over that same time, Monopoly money grew about nine times faster than real GDP, while M2 grew about 29 times faster.
And this is not the result of some bygone era; the Federal Reserve’s mismanagement of the money supply continues to this day. For example, in 2020, Monopoly saw a huge increase in sales because of lockdowns, selling 9.15 million games, increasing the supply of Monopoly money by $188 billion. Conversely, M2 increased by $2,818 billion, almost 15 times the increase in Monopoly money.
Put more whimsically, the mustachioed character in the middle of the Monopoly board, named “Rich Uncle Pennybags,” has done a better job managing his currency than the collective chairs of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors for nearly nine decades. The reason why lies in the political constraints faced by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and his predecessors.

There is tremendous pressure for the Federal Reserve to finance massive budget deficits like we have seen for the last three years. When they do so, the government’s spending, borrowing and creating too much money causes inflation.
People often use the term “Monopoly money” as a pejorative. It turns out the resulting devaluation of the Federal Reserve note has been worse than if the nation had used Monopoly money instead. That’s quite an indictment of Bidenomics.
