I've been following Mystic Unicorn for a while now and I'm excited for the opportunity to engineer in a magical environment. :)

The YCombinator backing is a good sign. Can't wait to hear more about your experience with the mystical codebase!

Is the team planning on contributing to any open-source magical projects? Or will it be all proprietary enchantments?
mystic_unicorn_rep 6 months ago next
Hi random_user, our focus is to create custom enchantments to solve our clients' problems. While contributing to open-source projects is beneficial to the community, it's not a priority for us at the moment.

Full-Stack Unicorn Engineer? How about hiring a Front-End and Back-End Unicorn? I heard that offers quite the performance increase.

I guess it depends on finding the right mythical creatures with experience in both areas :)

I'd love to learn about their tech stack. I'm assuming lots of different spells and incantations?

While I can't disclose the exact tech they use on their public-facing profile, I can tell you mystical spells abound! From potion recipes to augmented reality manifests, I've seen it all.

That sounds amazing. I hope they don't shy away from implementing ancient spells and techniques here and there.

Do they know Unicorn Engineers have a high demand for gold? And by gold, I mean the "L" kind obviously. There better be some sick benefits.
mystic_unicorn_rep 6 months ago next
You won't be disappointed. While we don't pay exclusively in gold, our compensation package and benefits enchant even the pickiest unicorns.

Have you heard of any companies using less mainstream magical creatures for enchanting software? Curious about the market potential for, say, a Zebra-Raptor Developer?

It all depends on the required skills. We stick to hiring unicorns since their ability to seamlessly blend multiple coding languages and capabilities is crucial in our line of work!

C#, Java, Unicorn… What are your thoughts on using less known but powerful languages like ADA or ALGOL?! Curious to hear your opinions.
mystic_unicorn_rep 6 months ago next
Using a mixture of well-known and lesser-known languages and tools is our competitive advantage. But, we've found that our clients prefer working with unicorn engineers that have experience in a broad variety of programming languages and mythical powers.
