They don't know what they are saying. They just wanted to sprinkle in some anti-Europe sentiment.

> Am I the only one who find it disturbing that a privacy focused service publishes a detailed report of which institutions is accessing their service

I don't find it disturbing at all, and it's perfectly in line with what you would expect a privacy focused service to do: name and shame those that are attacking privacy.

Uniquely software "engineering" way to do things. And it works, because our code is dispensable, zero-cost stuff.

It fails the "How many r's in <word>?" test.

I ask:

It answers:

> Diminished has 1 r.

The links to the previous years' data (2024 and earlier) are all broken, and lead to a 404 not found.

People are richer than ever, the world is safer than ever, yet we're entering a demographic trend mirroring that of medieval europe.

People famously have different stated and revealed preferences. They claim one thing, and yes they fully believe it, even if the evidence is extremely strong to the contrary.

50% staying in the career means 50% reduction. That's not very optimistic at all!

It has less to do with skill than it does with luck now. AI has greatly evened the playing field between the less-skilled and the more-skilled.

If your views changed that quickly, then I don't know what to say. Your priors definitely need adjusting, and perhaps consider the way you evaluate the future.

It was pretty clear even 2 years ago. Now it's happening right on schedule.

I reached acceptance Spring 2025. That's when I accepted I will eventually be outsourced, and I need to pivot. 1.5 years later, I'm a commercial pilot, and as I continue training, will hopefully be able to pivot here soon.

This is what really made me think to my self, "holy shit". I can't believe not more people are noticing and talking about this. Unless perhaps they didn't actually read the README, and are just talking about what they heard from someone who also didn't read it?

Don't worry, next month's internal model will be able to posit all the next big questions that matter.

Yes, I live in an arid western state. It's obvious that you don't from your naive question here.

In many states it doesn't matter, but out in the arid west, water is constantly a crisis item.

He's being legalistic about it, and I concede he may have a point there. Of course, it doesn't make what's happening all the less terrible. Both can be true, one doesn't take away from the other.

Check out the Cirrus Autoland feature in their aircraft. They are all small personal aircraft, but the tech is pretty cool. Will talk to ATC and fully auto-land for you in the event of an emergency where the pilot is incapacitated.

Re:Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (September 2024) on Monday September 02, 2024 @03:56PM (#41428306)

  Location: Salt Lake City
  Remote: in-person, remote, or hybrid
  Willing to relocate: no
  Technologies: Ruby on Rails, Postgres, Typescript, React, C#/.NET
  Résumé/CV: https://whois.johnisom.dev/assets/resume-2024-08-20.pdf
  Email: [email protected]
I'm a mid-senior level software engineer and a caring human. I am highly proficient in Ruby, Rails, TypeScript/JavaScript/Node.js, SQL, fairly proficient in React, C#/.NET. I'm a product-oriented generalist who masters whatever tool he uses to deliver customer value and build great product.

I would invite you to read my resume and give me a call. You'll notice I have 4 years of experience, but what I have managed to do with that experience has been exceptional. What most people do in about 8 years, I have condensed down to 4. I've always been highly valued by my teammates.

To get this out of the way: I left Prime Trust because the company went bankrupt, and I am leaving DeepL to move back to Salt Lake City to be with my partner. Both are (were) extraordinary companies that I would have loved to spend years at. Unfortunately, sometimes life takes you another direction. I'm looking for the company I can help grow and grow with for the next several years.

I'm a mid-senior level software engineer with an unusual and impressive background. I am highly proficient in Ruby, Rails, TypeScript/JavaScript/Node.js, SQL, React, C#/.NET, and many other technologies. I thrive most when solving interesting problems relating to the infrastructure of the company. By that, I mean the behind-the-scenes stuff that makes it work--internal ledgers and other systems, encryption, just the services that do their thing to make the business run smoothly. I'm also very happy working on product work, working as a fullstack engineer for most of my career.

I would invite you to give me a call and read my resume. You'll notice I have 4 years of experience, but what I have managed to do with that experience has been exceptional. Looking for pay in the range of $150k-$180k, but will consider other pay for the right team.

Backend/service layer Software Engineer with rich experience, most recently in the fintech sector working with crypto & fiat custodian Prime Trust.

I'm looking to relocate for an awesome in-person or hybrid team, with a very high preference for France, Belgium, or Montréal, a high preference for any other EU country, NYC, Chicago, and a mild preference for Denver, Portland, SFBA, DC, or Boston.

I am a native speaker of English and have an intermediate level in French.

I am an American citizen and thus require a visa to work outside of the US.

About me: I'm a solidly mid-senior level software engineer with an unusual and impressive background. I am highly proficient in Ruby, Rails, TypeScript/JavaScript/Node.js, SQL, and many other technologies (see my resume). I thrive most when solving interesting problems relating to the infrastructure of the company. By that, I mean the behind-the-scenes stuff that makes it work--internal ledgers and other systems, encryption, just the services that do their thing to make the business run smoothly. I'm also very happy working on product work.

If you see my resume, you'll notice I have a decent amount of YOE, but my actual experience far exceeds the number of "years" that I have. Everyone learns and produces at a different pace, and some, like me, can achieve and master in 3 years what the typical dev will in 8 YOE. I credit this to my willingness to jump into things as well as my solid fundamentals I built up.

Read the resume. Send me an email. You'll see what I mean.
