About Me:

Studied architecture in Boston before moving to NYC to work in 3D printing. I've done a little bit of code at work, mostly Python scripts to automate physical materials testing on printers, and have been teaching myself web development for a couple of years now.

I made https://glimmer.io/ - in short, it's a Django site w/ a desktop client that allows you to pass your clipboard between machines. It also serves as a searchable record of your clipboard in your browser.

Additionally, I have submitted and had accepted a patch to Django that will be making its way into the 1.8 release. I noticed that the urlize template tag wasn't converting links that lacked a prefix (google.com/foo, for example) and wrote the fix with a couple of tests. It's a small patch, but it felt good to contribute to a big OS project, so if your company works on OS stuff, I'm doubly interested in working with you.

I'm looking for any web development role, but would really prefer not to work only on front-end stuff. Otherwise, I don't really care what your stack is, I'm down to learn as I go.

Re:But why can't I send people their passwords? on Wednesday June 25, 2014 @10:23AM (#7944032)
Yeah, I was surprised to see that this bit wasn't mentioned anywhere. If you are emailing someone their password in plaintext, that means you know their password in plaintext -- which you should not.

As a user who would also want this feature, I would say it is because you sometimes want to see full detail. If, for example, someone sends you a link to a painting or some old coins you might be buying or whatever.
