Ask HN: Anyone hiring in Montreal?

Posted by mwk on Tuesday August 19, 2014 @12:46PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Hey HN,I am 25, a backend and API dev and I am considering a move to Montreal from Germany where I currently work (though I am not a German). I am open to full stack positions and would like to make Montreal my next home. Are there any startups hiring there? The latest whoishiring thread had none.

SEEKING WORK - Remote

Hey. I am a recent grad and a full-stack developer. I work with Rails and Java and have done work for clients using popular CMS solutions.

Think of me as your CTO with a tight deadline.

I specialise in backend systems and bug fixing. I will write your backend following best practices and make it easy for you to scale features in the long run.

Contact details in my profile.

SEEKING WORK: Remote.

I am a recent grad (This past December) and I interned at a good company. I am currently taking time off to think grad school options, and I can contribute to Java or Rails projects if any. Rates are reasonable since I live in a developing country. Contact is in my profile.

Some excellent points. The solution seems all too easy to be real.

The Unix Windows analogy was the first thing I thought of when i read that quote. also, the author's definition of revolutionary seems to oscillate between impact on the world and the impact on the industry.

Re:Google has contributed $17.5k to SOPA sponsor Lamar Smith on Saturday December 24, 2011 @10:28AM (#3389023)
This directly contradicts the GoDaddy saga. Edit: And by this I mean that we (including Google) should be pursuing more or less the same measures that proved effective with GoDaddy, i.e, pressure through boycott. It is not clear whether Google intends to pressure Smith to withdraw support, and in any case it's the wrong path if one considers the amounts Smith gets from the companies that want SOPA passed.
