Capital One does too. I’ve used Zelle through Capital One’s website for years, and have never had the mobile app installed.

End Point Dev | Java developer remote in US | full-time

We develop, host, and support the EpiTrax open source public health software for disease surveillance / epidemic tracking. Due to state government contract restrictions, developer must live in the U.S., but the role is 100% remote.

Main technologies used are Java, PostgreSQL, Linux, and JavaScript. Security consciousness for HIPAA compliance is important. This is a fairly small team where each person can make a big impact.

We also are looking for people with skills in GIS, mapping, Cesium, DevOps/Kubernetes, and Ruby on Rails:

Applying at the email address mentioned in those job ads will have you talking with me, CTO at the company.

I haven't seen it that often either.

I like to store Apache & nginx logs as JSON so they can be parsed with tools like jq, and adding/removing fields doesn't break parsing.

From JSON it is also easy to pull them into PostgreSQL (at least) in jsonb format, or parse out key elements as their own regular table fields.

My co-workers at End Point write some pretty useful posts, with a lot of practical ones around Linux sysadmin and devops topics:

A bit self-promotional since I blog there too, but I'm greatly outnumbered.

I still use RSS feeds from people's blogs and some news sites. And Twitter. I find a regular general news weekly such as The Economist is good too, and more measured than daily news bursts.
