Summary: Backend web/distributed systems engineer with nearly 10 YoE. Most recently, I was a senior staff engineer at Neuroflow, an East Coast Series C mental health startup.
Location: USA, West Coast, SF Bay Area
Remote: Very interested in full remote, but will consider a hybrid situation.
Willing to relocate: Offer me a big stack of cash, or some other really compelling reason, and anything's possible. :-)
Technologies: Linux, OSX, Python, Django, Flask, Pyramid, various AWS backend services, git, Github, Gitlab, Postgres, MySQL, Cassandra, Redis, Memcache, Kafka, multiple LISP dialects. I also know enough C and C++ to be dangerous.
I would love to work in some variety of Lisp. I use Emacs, so I work with Lisp on a daily basis already.
About me:
* If you need someone who can quickly get up to speed with your backend systems, I'm your guy.
* If you need someone to be the voice of experience and help build, shape, and mentor your team, I'm your guy.
* If you need someone to lead major projects and cross-team initiatives, I'm your guy.
* If you want someone who's gotten himself into, and out of, basically every weird state a git repo can be in, I'm your guy.
* If you want someone to fix your printer... well, I can be that guy, kind of, but you're really better off hiring someone who's better at it. ;)
I am most interested in working at late stage startups (think "5 minutes from going public"), public companies, or startups that can compete in liquid compensation with public companies.
Location: SF Bay Area.
Remote: Yes, preferred.
Willing to relocate: Unlikely.
Technologies: Python, Django, Pyramid, Flask, Postgres, MySQL, Docker, AWS, and a few other web technologies. I'm very willing to branch out and work with others, such as Ruby, Node.js, Golang and others, so don't consider this an exhaustive list.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you've emailed me a few weeks ago and gotten radio silence, it may be because I've been having technical difficulties. My @yahoo.com email is suddenly starting to reject a significant number of legitimate emails as SPAM, so, I'm switching to an @gmail.com for my job search communications, and I'll dig what I can out of my SPAM folder. TL;DR: If I didn't write you back in the past several weeks, please feel free to try again at [email protected]

Reveal codes is the ultimate hammer against screwy formatting. No more wondering why your layout went screwy 10 pages away from where you made some minor change to your text, a graphic, or a table. With "reveal codes" available, you can see directly what's going on and fix it right, instead of fumbling about with the formatting tools in Word.
Sorry, but that doesn't explain why admin specifically decided to call out the fact that I called out a "celebrity CEO." And, this disagreement is necessarily personal. Although I'm glad you agree with me, I'm not trying to convince anybody, nor do I care what amount of discussion my own, personal disagreement generates.
Guess what? It can happen to you, too, if you dare criticize a celebrity CEO. I got flagged & chastised for “breaking the guidelines” over a comment that stated facts about a certain CEO whose initials are TK.
Remember when y’all kept saying there’s no free speech on Facebook or Twitter? Well, it’s worse here, because if you don’t toe that line and bend the knee, you might get your user privileges limited.
> Regardless of how wrong or badly-behaved other people (be they HN users, celebrity CEOs, or imperialist bullies) are or you feel they are, you owe this community better if you're participating in it. Other people doing bad things is a poor non-excuse for setting this place on fire.
Charging for things just because you can is a capitalist mindset, however.
Besides, hospitals will never be more competitive than an oligopoly in most cases, simply because only so many are built in any given geographic area, and most people can only travel so far for medical care. There are some services the “free market” simply can’t deliver efficiently.
Edit because I'm apparently only allowed like 5 comments a day: Refusing to spend 30 seconds to find out that "yes, there is a roughly equivalent right to free speech in Canada" is just lazy, if you didn't know that, or pedantic if you did. Which would you rather be?
I don't see what's dubious about it. There doesn't seem to be any evidence the quote was fabricated, and the effects of US drug policy are apparent to anyone who lifts their head out of the sand.
You don't think Nixon could have disliked blacks, hippies, and drugs, and just found a convenient way to tie them all together while at the same time being able to say "think of the children?" Nixon was many things, but dumb and politically naive are not among them.
Except you have it backwards. The "War on Drugs" came about as a way for the state to exert power over youth and minorities.
> “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people,” former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman told Harper’s writer Dan Baum for the April cover story published Tuesday.
> “You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities,” Ehrlichman said. “We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
