Who Lingo.dev is

A localization engineering platform where teams measure translation quality, translate with LLMs, and proofread with native speakers. Y Combinator graduate, venture funded, expanding into new markets.

You own the whole loop

Write, publish, distribute the same day, measure, then automate the boring parts. Founders set direction; you decide what gets written each day and how it reaches readers.

“The founders set the direction, you decide what gets written each day”

Every surface is yours

Blog posts, original engineering research, essays, changelog, product emails, the newsletter, LinkedIn, dev.to, Hacker News, Reddit, Google Ads, SEO, plus demo repos. Technical and non-technical readers both.

Volume comes from automation

Whatever is due this week ships this week. As output grows you keep pace with Claude workflows, templated distribution, and scheduled publishing rather than longer hours.

“Whatever is due this week is published this week.”

Proof, not a portfolio vibe

They want published work that got traction: a newsletter with real subscribers, front-page posts, technical pieces developers shared. You code enough to script your own pipeline and interview people on the record.

“You write in plain words, state facts, and cut every superlative”

Numbers are part of writing

You own organic and paid: SEO, GEO, AI visibility. Ahrefs and Search Console are open daily, and you report whether a piece drove signups, got cited, ranked, or earned backlinks.

Who should skip it

Anyone whose work ends at publish, whose strategy is a keyword spreadsheet, who needs a weekly brief, who calls themselves not technical, or who is applying for the YC logo.

“Your portfolio reads the same with another company's logo on it.”
