Bay Area Electronics Flea Market cancelled for want of a new location location
My public blog response to this - and others saying the same thing - https://blog.herlein.com/post/domain-plus-software-superpowe... - Stop mourning the moat you thought you had. You have a much better one. You just need to pick up the new tool and start using it like it belongs in your hand.
Here's another: https://www.4sqrp.com/T41main.php - I just bought one that someone else had assembled. It's 100% open so you can buy boards and make your own, but the kits themselves are no longer available. I am thinking of ordering a set to take the design further, as a learning exercise.
19 of 20 startups "fail." Meaning they don't exit for huge valuations. Go look at many of the "successes" and the founders had a deep safety net. Meaning they could afford it. Access to affordable capital and luck. Seriously. Don't be down on yourself. Did you learn? Probably. Did you make deep friendships along the way? Probably. Those count too. Don't let hyper-capitalism define "success" for you.
Before designing something new, you might consider going to look at the AWS CDK - https://aws.amazon.com/cdk/ - which is exactly what you are describing.
I was a Reactor Operator (RO) on SSN-687, the last boat before the LA class. Back when dinosaurs still lived and all. Our EOs were super smart too, but the ROs had an astounding amount of ability to troubleshoot and fix things. In those days you had to be able to repair at the component level - underway. But our MMs were amazing including being able to weld while hanging upside down in a bilge - Dave Blackshear I'm talking about you. Since then I've done startups, co-founded startups, done development and management, including VP Eng at both startups and large companies. I've never found the camaraderie and level of trust I had on the boat. It's come close a few times. Submariners are a special breed, and most of the joking stereotyping in the article are true (enough). Flat out, if you earned your dolphins (qualified in submarines) then you are my brother or sister.
Cisco is hiring SRE's for REMOTE or ONSITE work. Especially looking for folks in the EU and Tokyo.
Contact me directly at greherle <at> cisco.com or look here: https://jobs.cisco.com/jobs/SearchJobs/SRE - but we have roles that are SRE and don't list as that too. If you want to build some cutting edge networking software - think self driving cars, only for networks - ping me.
To heck with the recruiter. As a hiring manager I look for passion for coding and learning - and that your profile isn't brand new. If it has periods of no contribution I don't care - people get busy, have lives, etc. I don't hold the lack of a profile against someone, but an active profile that shows someone playing, learning, testing, and especially contributing is someone that jumps to the top of my list. A passion for doing and learning is something that cannot be taught. Faked maybe. But that shows up pretty quick too.
That's lame, sorry. As a long-time hiring manager I do value a good readme if the project is meant for others to consume, otherwise if it's a scratch pad for learning who cares? And I could care less about how pretty their code is. I'm more interested to see if they are PASSIONATE about tech. While it's true that some folks don't have time outside of work my experience is that really good Engineers still play around a bit. They fork stuff. They try it. They may submit a PR that fixes something. They have some experimental repos where they put stuff when learning a new language. And yes, the rare one will have a fork of a project where they regularly contribute. I don't think you are looking for the things I look for in a candidate at all.
Two years old. Could have been titled "I reject the goals of golang" - many of the things he hates were actual design objectives of the language. Some are so minor it's silly. Bottom line is if you don't like it then don't code in it.
Cisco Cloud Foundation is hiring. I am the hiring manager. Seeking golang and python skills, strong linux and networking, kubernetes/containers... Bay Area ideal but open to work from anywhere. All levels. Drop me a note at greherle <at> cisco.com
Interns and Developers with cloud, especially OpenStack. Ops folks with real cloud and/or distributed system experience. San Francisco. Cisco (yes, in the City). I am the hiring manager (Director of Cloud Video). Want to help build things so TV can compete with Netflix?
