Re:What's Happening with IT Hiring? on Friday July 31, 2026 @10:39PM (#49130575)
The market has definitely changed, but I don't think it's worse. I'm currently looking for a new challenge and have had no issues getting interviews; only the overall volume has decreased. I've noticed companies aren't focusing as much on specific technologies. It likely hurts your chances if your resume positions you strictly as a "<insert language, framework> developer or engineer".

For years, I've advised my peers to stop fixating on the stack and to look at the bigger picture. A solid engineer should be able to pick up a new language in a few hours or jump into an unfamiliar architecture quickly.

Location: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain (Open to Remote) Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: Open to Hybrid (Europe)

Technologies: PHP (Expert), Golang, Rust, JavaScript, Java, Scala, Microservices, Event-Driven Architecture, Docker, CI/CD, MySQL, MongoDB, Neo4J, Redis. Résumé/CV: https://denzyl.io Email: ddenzyl (at) gmail.com

Senior Software Engineer & Technical Lead | 10+ Years Experience I am a strategic-thinking engineer specializing in architecting resilient distributed systems and modernizing legacy monoliths. In my most recent role as a Level 4 Senior Software Engineer at a major Dutch financial software firm, I re-engineered high-volume synchronization microservices and resolved complex data consistency issues for critical business transactions.

Recent Highlights: Phanalist (Creator/Lead): Built a high-performance static analysis tool in Rust for massive PHP codebases (100k+ files), achieving a 93% reduction in analysis time where standard tools failed.

Siegu (Creator/Lead): Engineered a local-first, decentralized media library using WebRTC for secure, cloudless data transfers with 0ms server latency. Scalability: Previously scaled an event-based architecture to process 10,000+ messages per second with 99.99% uptime for global brands like Coca-Cola and Heineken. Leadership: Proven track record of mentoring junior engineers and standardizing hiring processes while acting as a primary technical liaison for CEOs.

I’m looking for a senior or lead role in a high-performance environment where I can solve deep technical challenges.

It depends on the selling price. And your personal financial situation and the time you can invest in.
Re:Ask HN: What's the Best Country to Live In on Monday December 11, 2023 @10:34AM (#38601487)
It depends, if you are financially stable I would say. An island in the carribbean.

An island that is not part of any european kingdom or part of the U.S.A or any bigger country.

Right now I'm using PopOs when I use the default terminal nerdfonts do not render correctly. But in other terminals i have no problem.
I'm a new vim user. I've been using the vim motions for 2+ years in Intellij. I use intellij at my work. But for my personal projects, i've been using Lunarvim.

What I've realised, I can get in the zone much faster when using neovim. Instead of Intellij. I think if I get to the point that I have my own vim configuration, it would feel like something really personal. I use Lunarvim & Zellij and it's awesome.

First read the rust book.. And write your own tiny program.

Re:Ask HN: Show me your half baked project on Friday October 13, 2023 @08:53AM (#37870015)

I'm trying to write a static analyzer for PHP. It's written in RUST and it's a personal project of mine to learn rust and also make a FAST static analyzer for PHP projects that are big. I started with this project because the current static analyzers in the PHP ecosystem are slow.

It would be nice if there were people that would like to contribute. If you want to learn rust and you have PHP experience you are welcome to help.

The project is it early stages. Right know the focus is on writing the checks that are needed. The current checks that are implemented are:

- Detect when the cyclomatic complexity of a method is too high. The current threshold is 10.

- Extending undefined classes.

- Having a try/catch with an empty catch that doesn't do anything.

- A method that has more than five parameters.

- Methods without modifiers(private, public & protected).

- Classes that start with a lowercase.

- Check if a method exists when called inside another method.

- Methods that return a value without defining a return type.

- Constants that have all letters in lowercase.

- Parameters without any type.

- Correct location for the PHP opening tag.

Lately, I have been working on a 3D music visualizer.

I would say webassembly.
Nice, it worked for me.
