SEEKING WORK
Location: NYC | Remote
I've been a software generalist at a variety of startups, some in their earliest stages helping to craft their ideas into MVPs (PeerMedical, ClimaCell, Odyn) and some in their midpoints helping to refactor and upgrade legacy technology while planning and building new business-focused features (Viewpoint Government Solutions, Netra, AptDeco).
I'm comfortable in most corners of the rapidly expanding modern web development stack, but my hope is to also be a critical and collaborative partner in the business/societal thought processes required to successfully execute a vision.
During the pandemic I've been investing in myself and the ideas of my peers and am now producing a justice-oriented podcast, providing musical support to weekly pan-spiritual meetups, and growing a portfolio of film photography.
I'm less interested in high pay (though I need at least a pittance to survive) and more interested in worthy ideas that I can support and take to the next level.
Technologies and years of experience:
- JS (React/Angular) 6+
- Ruby (Rails) 3+
- DB (Mongo, Postgres, etc.) 6+
- Elixir (Phoenix) 1+
- Haskell 3+
- Cloud (AWS, DO, GCP) 5+
- Containers and other devops (Docker, Kubernetes) 3+

Humans have an incredible way of elevating their universal importance to hold the conviction that an alien species capable of receiving such a message and actionably responding would have any desire to do so, let alone that the loss of one observatory would leave the species thinking that they were being ghosted and that humans are assholes. We're really nothing more than flatlanders at this point and we need to work on our humility toward the situation.

Actually yeah, parasitic selfishness should definitely be discouraged in a healthy society

Factoring in that the prison population is a "good chunk" of the total population should elevate the scale of this discussion above statistical haggling

This is a world where giving money to a company is an inherently political act, even if you do not know it to be. Each dollar spent at Amazon is a tacit endorsement of its business, labor, and greater economic practices, and for one to detail why they choose to stop supporting a business is to enumerate the practices and side-effects of that business's existence that they find problematic or harmful.
This is meant to spark discussion of the thought process behind consciously decoupling from a specific product, not to look for kudos or get patted on the back.

Every time I see this blog I'm extremely interested in the content, but the stylized presentation is so jarring and tough to read. I doubt this is an original qualm and I'm fully able to switch to reading mode in Firefox to mitigate this problem, but frankly it's off-putting.

The US government routinely monitors purchase and search histories to prevent the active ingredients of something destructive like that from falling into nefarious hands, and you're posing a wholly disingenuous argument

Life certainly has a good chance given the existence of deep-sea bacteria, tardigrades, and cockroaches, but the human species has a relatively narrow set of conditions that must be met for any sort of longterm survival.

When they opened a brick and morter store in Boston, I remember walking in with a real sense of excitement but walking out without any interest in becoming more involved in the 3D printing scene.
If anything, seeing the printers in action made me realize just how inessential their product seemed from a layperson's point of view.
For all of the potential 3D printing has, at the moment it is a solution looking for a consumer problem, and most consumers aren't looking to make custom figurines or embossed text.
A few months ago, I walked by the storefront and it was totally empty. Apparently I wasn't the only one disillusioned by seeing their product up close.

Perhaps this teacher was looking more for thoughtful analysis and insight rather than pedantically seeking out minor grammatical errors.

One company I worked for relied heavily on code reviews after every feature. At least two co-workers (one of whom had to be a supervisor) read, ran, and gave feedback on every piece of code. Reading others' code and providing feedback allowed me to improve my sight-linting ability, and it felt like each day my group's code as a whole was improving.
Having some accountability for writing sloppy code is very sobering.

I really love Zeal, but I wish the documentation files weren't being hosted from Dash's servers. If Zeal were available on OSX I'd use it in an instant.

Fabian Sanglard's exploration[1] of Doom3 is much more in depth than this article, though the author does quote Sanglard's analysis albeit with a small source link

I enjoyed using xfce as a nice desktop environment around a tiling window manager (bspwm), I'm sure i3 would plug in similarly.
