Dear climate-tech/green-tech recruiters and engineering leads,

I know you're out there. I can sense you, lurking behind a pile of processed resumes and cradling your reusable coffee cup like a talisman warding against ChatGPT cover letters. You're searching for that unicorn, the 10x engineer motivated by saving the planet who also rocks human skills that would make Brené Brown sit up and take notice.

I... am not that unicorn. More of a walrus, really, with wombat-like characteristics? But I did recently get restructured out of a role in climate-tech before I was done saving the world. I want more. I've got solid technical chops in platform engineering, Linux, AWS, Docker, all that good stuff. I'm an actual human who can talk (and listen) to people while only staring at my shoes approximately 35% of the time.

I work remotely from New Zealand, where green is practically a brand. We have tax treaties so you can pay me from everywhere, and our timezone dovetails nicely with many popular tech hubs including the Western US, Oceania, and Asia.

I make dev teams better. Add me to yours. There's a bit of a problem with CO2 we need to fix.

Cheers, Rich.

Thanks!

Remote: Remote only. I've been remote contracting for years, and accustomed to working in distributed teams both locally and in timezones around the world.

Willing to relocate: No. I know when I've got it good!

Technologies: The usual web stuff: Node, React, TypeScript, React Native, GraphQL, Postgres, Docker, Linux, AWS etc. However I cut my teeth on statically-typed compiled languages like C++ when I was younger, and I'm writing Rust on the side. Have worked with Python in the past. Would love the chance to skill up in some system-level work if the opportunity presents itself.

Right now I'm contracting and writing quite a lot of SQL. I'm interested in remote opportunities anywhere in the world, either contract or permanent. If you're worried about the timezone, it actually ties in rather well with the US (I'm just a day in the future, so I can tell you how it all turns out).

That's great! Thanks for mentioning this.

I was a PICU nurse before I started writing software for a living. A surprising number of kids also get seriously injured by pulling TV sets/cabinets over onto themselves. Affixing things to walls definitely a good plan. Also PSA for the holidays: fence pools, use your reversing camera and know where your kids are before backing out of the driveway, and that dishwasher detergent does horrible things to kids (airway/oesophagus) and people tend to keep it down low for some reason.

Whoops, post copied from old thread and borked CV link. It's https://github.com/richchurcher/cv/raw/master/Rich_Churcher_....

Location: Auckland, New Zealand

Remote: Preferred. The timezone works surprisingly well for remote work on the US West coast (I spent 18 months working for a company in Oakland, CA). I just live in the future so can give you all the /lottery|election|sportsball/ results.

Willing to relocate: The opportunity would have to be remarkable (I do live in Middle Earth, after all).

Technologies: My first programming language was AmigaBASIC, but most of my recent experience is across the JavaScript stack: React, quite a lot of React Native, Express, GraphQL, Postgres, Redis, Heroku, Jest. I'm an Arch Linux daily driver.

Right now I'm belatedly working my way through Advent of Code 2018 in Rust, and writing a Node library for API authentication. Available for hire starting after Jan 14. Let's talk.

SEEKING WORK | Auckland, New Zealand | REMOTE

G'day. I'm a contract web and mobile developer in New Zealand. The timezone works surprisingly well for remote work on the US West coast (I spent 18 months working for a company in Oakland, CA). I just live in the future so can give you all the /lottery|election|sportsball/ results.

My first programming language was AmigaBASIC, but most of my recent experience is across the JavaScript stack: React, quite a lot of React Native, Express, GraphQL, Postgres, Redis, Heroku, Jest. I'm an Arch Linux daily driver.

Right now I'm teaching React and Node at Enspiral Dev Academy here in Auckland, but I'm available for work in the new year. Let's talk.

Ok, I've found my easymotion replacement: I love vim-sneak! And it's justinmk, so you know it's gonna be solid. Thanks, just when I think I know the plugin landscape, someone reminds me of something new.

As furgooswft13 notes, you can use

  Ctrl-O <command>

to issue single normal mode commands from insert mode. Most purists would say switch to normal mode to navigate, and by and large that's true (especially, IMHO, if you bind 'jk' to Esc which is much faster for a touch typist). However, insert mode does let you do this to avoid the arrow keys:

  inoremap <A-h> <Left>
  inoremap <A-l> <Right>
  inoremap <A-k> <Up>
  inoremap <A-j> <Down>

Which some would say enforces 'bad' habits, but I reckon do whatever feels effective to you. If you do find yourself leaning on the direction keys for more than a few repeats, there's probably a faster way though!

Total lack of net neutrality.

Would Paul Erdős be the most famous? There's even a Wikipedia subcategory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:20th-century_Hungaria....

Enspiral Dev Academy | Bootcamp Teacher/Developer | Wellington, New Zealand | ONSITE

Enspiral Dev Academy (EDA) is on the lookout for teachers! Teachers who are professional programmers, who love programming and want to share it with others. We are developing NZ’s next generation of technical talent and we believe that learning how to work effectively with other people is just as important as the craft of programming.

EDA is New Zealand’s first developer bootcamp that trains exceptional beginners on the fundamentals of web development. We take pride in graduating students who are quick learners and matched to the current industry requirements.

Teachers lead by example, demonstrating their passion for learning and their commitment to programming as a craft.

Being a teacher at EDA is more like being a trekking guide rather than a follow-the-textbook style lecturer. Teachers lead discussions, guide inquiry, pair programme with students, emphasise key areas, support students in their projects and challenges, and provide feedback to students and each other.

What we need is:

* Minimum 3 years experience with web development

* Knowledge of JavaScript/EcmaScript 6, Node.js/npm, React and Redux

* Someone who understands teaching and what it means to support a student’s learning journey.

A more complete description and application is available here: http://www.trademe.co.nz/jobs/it/programming-development/lis... .

> As more permafrost thaws, more and more carbon is exposed to microbes. The microbes consume the carbon, producing methane and carbon dioxide as waste products. These greenhouse gases are then released into the atmosphere, accelerating warming further.

Yeah, the amount of sequestered carbon that could be released is concerning.

Not the ESP8266 of course, but in the same vein you may be interested in effots to get Rust working on the RTL8710: https://polyfractal.com/post/rustl8710/

Delighted to see this tidy summary! I've been wading through four or five documentation sources over the past few days getting everything hooked up. I'm working on a project that uses SPI and would love to use Rust... I may pick your brains further.

Strongly recommend you post a link to this at the PADI Stamp forums, I'm sure others will appreciate it. http://forum.pine64.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=57

This is such gold: thanks!
