anyone here using kagi search engine?
interested in hearing from people with experience
Timothée Goguely@axbom Well, I think I'm going to cancel my subscription and go back to DuckDuckGo Lite https://lite.duckduckgo.com
It's a shame, I thought it was an interesting project...
Duke of Germany 💫Things related to Kagi I remember from the top of my head:
- The Kagi guy doubled down on *not* displaying a helpline to people searching for suicide methods:
- More info on the Kagi guy here:
(He seems to be from the "we don't get into politics" camp.)

Is anyone paying for #kagi_search or using the #orionbrowser they're making?
What do you think? I am thinking of trying their 100 search trial, but interested in how paying customers feel about it? I am a usually a #ddg user and have mostly weened myself off of Google.
Does kagi have their own crawler? If not where are their results coming from?

Privacy-Pass has been around for a while, but this is the first major webpage where I have encountered support.
BramVanDrielI am trying to #degoogle, one small step at a time. I have been using the browsers and search tools from #duckduckgo, but I increasingly read bullish reviews about Kagi (https://aleph.press/ffac1c), a paid search engine. Does anyone have experience, and is it really that much better than DDG? #kagi_search #dtv
卡拉今天看了什麼I failed a take-home assignment from Kagi Search - Bloggeroo
Link我未通過 Kagi Search 的「居家作業」測驗https://archive.md/A95Ju
📌 Summary:
本文作者分享了應徵 Kagi Search 軟體工程師職位時遭遇的居家作業經驗，並對這類考題制度提出質疑與反思。Kagi 先是以簡短且模糊的說明，要求申請者完成一個終端或網頁版的簡易郵件客戶端專案，包含發送及接收純文字郵件，且不限使用真實或模擬後端。作者嚴肅對待該作業，特別針對功能、架構、使用技術（Golang、AWS ECS Fargate、Postmark API、Pulumi IaC 工具等）提出詳細實施計畫，並與招聘經理多次溝通確認方向與延期請求，卻未獲具體回應。作者花費一週全職時間完成並部署專案，附有完整文件，然而最後卻遭自動拒絕並得知他們偏好「更簡單而佳的方案」，但在過程中未曾被告知任何改進或評分細節，且過程缺乏透明度與尊重。文章反映出現行居家作業制度對求職者，尤其經濟壓力大者的負面影響，呼籲企業應改良選才流程，並提倡求職者拒絕無償過度付出的要求。作者也分享自己對面試方法的看法，支持更有意義的實務評量能替代純記憶與速解題目的面試。
🎯 Key Points:
→ 【應徵背景】應徵 Kagi Search 後端工程師，工作職責聚焦 Golang 後端系統開發、容器化、與團隊協作。
→ 【居家作業任務】建置簡易郵件客戶端（終端或網頁版），需提供郵件基本收發功能，純文字郵件可用模擬或真實後端，並提交完整程式碼與部署連結。
→ 【溝通過程】作者主動提出詳細實作計劃並要求回覆是否符合期待，結果招聘經理僅回覆「很期待」，忽略作者關於評估標準與成果回饋的疑問。
→ 【技術方案】採用 Golang 實作網頁版郵件客戶端，後端使用 SQLite via Pocketbase，部署於 AWS ECS Fargate，使用 Postmark API 發送郵件，結合 Pulumi 管理基礎建設。前端簡潔呈現，含登入介面與分頁，並設兩個 demo 帳戶。
→ 【完成狀態】投入約一週全職時間完成功能實作與雲端部署，提供多面向說明文件與 demo 影片。
→ 【最終結果】收到自動化拒絕信，理由是已有「更簡單且優秀」方案被考慮，且不提供任何具體反饋，過程缺乏透明度和誠意。
→ 【作者觀點】質疑此類需花費大量無償時間的居家作業對求職者不公，尤其是經濟拮据者；呼籲求職者勇於拒絕此類要求。認為面試方法應著重實務能力與溝通理解，如同步或非同步程式碼審查，比傳統 leetcode 類速解題目更有價值。
