   This is a very interesting problem! I'm the cofounder of Pabio (YC S21), we do rent-to-own furniture with interior design, and one of the things I've observed is the vast discrepancy in prices on different websites but also at dif

    I interviewed for Sourcegraph and it was one of the best. Super transparent process, open source handbook, fun coding tasks -- really nothing to complaint about. Would be curious to know what made you have such a different experience.

    Thanks for the insights! I believe that if you have a small studio/room as a student would, a four-year plan would cost closer to CHF 150. I know that a 1-year one would be much more expensive, but we're working hard on changing t

    Thanks! Just curious: At what price point would you consider this? Say you have a student room (like a studio), how much would you like to pay to furnish it to your taste? I'm asking because we want to make this as affordable as possib

    Thanks! Yes, we do, because we found out early on that people may already have some furniture in their apartments that they want to keep, so we offer individual rooms as well. You can always start with a one room and then get your entire ap
