+Hey,
+
+I really like what you guys are building out on [Fold](https://fold.money). Although being on Android I've never realy had the change to checkout your app. I randomly came across [Fold](https://fold.money) on twitter and just wanted to connect with you folks and maybe contribute in someway to what you're building and learn a thing or two in return. By the way, your website is essentially a treat for the eyes be it [2586labs](https://2586labs.com/) or [Fold](https://fold.money/).
+
+I'm a full stack developer, and I've built a quick mock of the website on [foldbank.codingcoffee.me](https://foldbank.codingcoffee.me) just to grab your attention. It's built with NextJS on the frontend, backed by, Django for the backend, Postgres for persistent storage and Redis for caching.
+
+I would really like to connect and maybe visit your workplace and have a chat about what you're building and if I can pitch in any way or take away a few learnings from it.
+
+Regards,
+Ameya Shenoy

+
+Hey,
+
+
+
+I had come across Devfolio when I had participated in one of the hackathons by SETU hosted on your platform. Well, we didn't win the hackathon back then, but Devfolio left a lasting impact on me. And off recently I was job hunting and wondered if you folks had an opening where I'd fit in. To my luck, I came across this opening for Backend Enginner on your website and would like to apply for the same.
+
+A little about me, I'm a generalist with multi faceted interests and extensive experience with System Design and Full Stack Development, leveraging technologies like Python, Django, React, Docker, Kubernetes, Amazon Web Services, Postgres, Redis.
+
+I believe I tick all the checkboxes you require. I've built public APIs and worked on SaaS products while working at Frappe Technologies, whose flagship product is ERPNext (arguably the best open source ERP on the market) and recently in a side project I'm working on with a couple of friends (ask me about it in the interview)! Then at BrowserStack amongst other things one of my primary tasks was scaling and maintaining all the components in the organization as a Cloud Infra Engineer. Needless to say, I'm a fast learner, have worked in teams, love to build things from scratch while thinking of business constraints.
+
+Your post lists down a couple of questions, which I've answered below.
+
+What are the best systems that you've made without anybody asking?
+Well, there are lots of things which I've built which I don't make public, but I would say the top 2 for me would be my  personal website and "dotfiles". My personal website is designed and written completely by me using React (Gatsby) and hosted on a personal K3S cluster, fronted by Cloudflare to fend off the bad guys, to ensure server load is never an issue. I'm really proud of it, as it gives my a platform to blog about random technical things. A [blog of mine reached the top page of HackerNews](https://codingcoffee.dev/blog/wireguard_on_kubernetes_with_adblocking/), inviting a ton of traffic onto my website (scroll to the bottom of the post to see the Cloudflare stats).
+As for "dotfiles", it essentially is infrastructure as code for my current system, which is a fully customized Arch Linux install, carefully curated over the years, with BSPWM as the tiling window manager, polybar as the status bar with a ton of self written plugins, sxhkd as the X hotkey daemon, dunst for notifications, an even more carefully curated vim for editing code, emacs for its orgmode to organize tasks, and picom for added sassiness. It makes me 10x faster at what I do (hopefully if I get to reach the pair programming stage I'll get to show off). It is my longest standing project, nearing 1000 commits, and I believe it has had a compounding effect on my productivity.
+
+What's a popular opinion that you agree with?
+What is a "popular opinion". An opinion may be popular with one cohort of people and not necessarily with others. Especially in today's world where there is always someone who stands up against every opinion or there. But if I have to take a stab, I'd say Kubernetes is awesome. Let's debate :)
+
+What's the first thing you built? When and why did you build it?
+Well, my "dotfiles" is one of the first things which I had initialized. Apart from that, if it's a public project you're looking for, it would be spockpy. It was a project I built with a friend for Mumbai Hackathon, which actually helped me get my first job at Frappe Technologies. It was a simple Rock Paper Scissors game played against the computer. And this was 6 years back, in 2017, so there were no AI models out there which could detect hands! The logic part of it was my contribution to the project. I built it using plain old heuristics with OpenCV and some clever hacks for detecting hands using contours of the hand and convex hulls for detecting the shape being made.
+
+What great software is nobody building?
+A social network which isn't really an echo chamber, and rather than optimizing for increasing the time spent by a user on the platform, helps give individuals contrasting views to their opinions, so people can make better informed decisions. And all this while also tackling misinformation!
