https://QuitCarbon.com | Software Lead / Technical Co-Founder | (ONSITE partially) San Francisco | Full-Time
QuitCarbon, our climate startup / nascent public-benefit company based in San Francisco, helps homeowners electrify (upgrade from fossil gas appliances to heat pumps, induction stoves, etc), and helps small business contractors flourish by being part of the clean energy transition.
We are growing fast, generating revenue, helping many folks quit, raising our first funding round, and seeking our co-founding or lead software person.
* Full-time, long-term role
* Ideally you have both senior individual contributor experience and early-stage startup experience
* Salary/equity mix is up for discussion, but will be competitive
* We’d strongly prefer at least 1 day/week in-person in SF - this role is not full-time remote
* Especially welcoming of non-white-dude folks - but don’t let that stop you if you are a white dude - we take all sorts
Reach me at Cooper@QuitCarbon.com if this gets you excited. We are moving fast here, so don’t delay.
In the more distant past I found this to be true, but recent LED bulb purchases from Ikea have convinced me they've solved the earlier problems. Their LED bulbs are now great performers with fair prices.
And yet it often is. And, even when it isn't, knowing how much to pay can be hard.
The ideal system is one in which you use the "universal transit payment card" desired in the article to get on the transit system, then use it again to get off (if the transit system requires it - no all do), without having to give even a single thought to how much money you are spending.
When you have different payment cards/passes/tickets in different systems, you have to figure out not only how to buy those tickets, but how much to buy (so that you don't depart the area having vastly overbought - or so that you don't run out of loaded fare value before you end your trip).
You clearly don't travel much and try to navigate different public transit systems.
I travel domestically and internationally, and I always have cash - and it is almost always much more difficult than it should be to pay for public transit, just like the article says.
Most public transit riders in the U.S. don't travel much and don't try to navigate different public transit systems. This is not a problem that affects the real users of public transit in the U.S., and it's not what's holding back broader adoption of public transit.
