We'll be hiring for many of these positions again shortly. We weren't funding constrained, just people constrained; there are whole sprawling threads on HN about how annoyed we managed to make some people (a small minority of applicants, but that doesn't make it any easier for us to metabolize) with our responsiveness in our hiring process. We halted most hiring to retool and nail down hiring processes, and also to onboard all the people we hired (so they can help us do more hiring stuff).
Raising lots of money to hire 2 people is a funny flex, so I sort of wanted to leave this unanswered, but I also don't want to miss an opportunity to put on a hairshirt and talk about things we fucked up.
