I am rebuilding dev hiring from scratch
Not because I wanted to build another job board.
But because dev hiring feels broken.
You apply… hear nothing.
“Remote” isn’t remote.
Roles sit open for 45+ days.
Most platforms optimize for volume, not quality.
Engineers don’t need 10,000 jobs.
They need 20 real ones.
Signal > Noise.
If you’re a serious engineer tired of broken hiring — follow along!
@patrickc@collision@stripe I really didn't wanted to post this but I am really frustrated with kind of reponse I got from Stripe Team, I had an old working Stripe account fully verified and working for local payments. However I was facing issu e charging international users.
I contacted your support in Sept 2025! YES Last Year, In the same email they accepted their is nothing wrong with my account and their is some engineering issue
I was fine and patient, meanwhile our team spend decent time building our payment system work with Stripe, trusting that their is no way Stripe team won't solve this.
After continous followup 40+ messages exhange your team said they have finally resolved the issue.
After testing we found we are still facing same issue, we contacted the Stripe team, they reiterated that NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY ACCOUNT.
After continous followup, your team asked me to give failed payment request ID from my live account.
And suggested "Test Account can behave differently"
To me this was an absurd and false thing to say as Stripe docs mention Test accounts are supposed to simulate real behavior, if not their must be something wrong.
After I expressed my frustration your team mentioned they flagged an issue with my account due to long inactivity, and they have passed my account for review if they can continue supporting my account.
Your team also mentioned "IEC verification process involves real institutional validation outside of Stripe so that simply can't be replicated in a simulated environment."
I had to point him out as per Stripe's own documentation IEC is optional unless I sell physical goods or charge AMEX customers.
After which your team CLOSED my account like seriously ? Directly closed my account due to inacvtivity. My user base is international whom should I charge if my stripe account wasn't working in the first place.
I always held Stripe team in high regards. But this behaviour is completely unprofessional wasted so much time and really angered me at this point.
Thank You for your Attention!
According to you what is the reasonable time I should expect??? I am really getting tired of generic replies with no solutions. I fully understand sometimes few issues do take long time to resolve. But don’t you agree this much amount of time should be enough?? What is exactly unreasonable I am asking? Just want a working account.
@stripesupport@stripesupport Team be honest me and my team are struggling with this since Sept 2025. Is there a chance this issue can be fixed. I am open to creating a new account and start from scratch if you guys can send me invite!
