SEEKING WORK - Montreal. Remote / local / relocation ok. Contract / fulltime ok.

I'm a programmer with over 10 years of experience, mostly in the game industry, mostly in C++. Resume and references available by contacting me by email. See my profile for the address.

Note: I'm eligible to work in the US.

Can you tell us which groups are considered less desirable?

Please elaborate. I'm interested to hear if your experience is more than survivor bias.

  (1) Don't take jobs where the company isn't willing to
  tell you what you'll be working on. That usually means
  you're going to be allocated to the least desirable
  projects.

I passed on a job at Google precisely because of this fear. I wonder if they've since changed that practice.

It's like a horse-and-buggy company pivoting into the auto industry. It wouldn't be easy, but it could be done.

  F-35 lacks the F-16's agility in the air-to-air mode and
  the F-15E's range and payload in the bombing mode, and it
  can't even begin to compare to the A-10 at low-altitude
  close air support for troops engaged in combat.

"jack of all trades, master of none". :(

That's a good point. I wonder what future law enforcement potential this will have.

"House too warm? Must be a grow operation."

Why not buy Nokia for its patents and dump the rest of the business then?

I've worked for a large publisher. Ports are low hanging fruits that keeps revenues coming in while we're working on bigger things. The two aren't mutually exclusive. Just give it time.

I wonder how it handles a bogus printf format string.

I sometimes wonder if the high cost of healthcare is not, in part, a conspiracy from larger companies to keep people from taking jobs at startups.

Edit: (To my many silent downvoters..) Healthcare being tied to your employer is a competitive advantage of larger companies, isn't it? Either way, speak up!
