I am a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience shipping web apps. I have worked primarily back-end, but am comfortable with full-stack responsibilities. I've worked in Fintech and b2b marketing/sales software and on monoliths and micro-services.

On the side, I built https://pickyskincare.com to help compare skin care products by their ingredients, find similar products at cheaper price points, and identify and avoid personal allergens and irritants. I'm currently working on a gamified exercise tracking app.

I'm looking for a remote senior back-end, full-stack, or product engineering role.

https://pickyskincare.com - a tool that lets you find skin care products based on the ingredients you want and don't want in it. The main use case is for finding cheaper versions of a product you already like, or one without things you're allergic or sensitive to.

It's written in elixir using Phoenix live views. There's almost no custom Javascript outside of what that framework gives. First load may take a while because it's the cheapest tier of fly.io and boot loads all known ingredients and products in to memory.

And since policy decisions have been ceded to them, in order to get some reasonable policy passed we must seed the loons with a reasonable idea that they can believe and run with until rfk or whomever hears about that seeded idea and enacts it.

This all but confirms that the Mayans had a robust space program going.

I believe it's the being ludicrously wealthy part.

So, the article mentions that Congress was kept unaware, but was the Obama administration also in the dark about this investigation?

This is the best communicated outage that I can remember seeing.
