Hey! Michal from the engineering team behind here. There are some painful experiences from the journey - async in Django, background processing in Python, scaling agent workflows with growing codebase. Happy to talk!
That TrueNAS ARM fork is great. I've set it up in VMWare Fusion on Mac mini M4 and it runs!
With Thunderbolt 4 M.2 NVMe enclosure, you can plug in M.2 SATA adapter to connect 8 SATA III drives. Little Pico PSU to power the HDDs and it makes a really low powered NAS.
My plan is to give TrueNAS a spin with two drives and if it is stable, move everything into it.
It is important to know, that our ruling party is a populist left wing all the time promising one. So whatever might be proposed might not have enough push to be implemented.
We are using Percy [1] for this and are extremely happy with this. Almost zero effort to set up, just some time to get random data out of our tests to have stable visual output.
Just out of curiosity, how is that module tested? It is one new file without a single test. How people know it works and change it knowing it still works?
Maybe because working remote is not for everyone. I actually really enjoy working with people in our office. They are awesome. I relocated there few years ago and we are not only colleagues but also friends. Some people don't speak Spanish at all. Everyone has to speak English. That is official language of the company.
We are on Ruby, Sinatra, Rails, Nginx, Lua & not afraid of new technologies.
Our open positions are on https://www.3scale.net/about/jobs/
We're based in Barcelona, but had remote workers in the past and still might be opened to that after some warmup time. On some hiring sites we were publically posting 50k EUR for Senior Backend Developer.
Being here for 5 years I can say there is plenty of growth space for good developers. Cheers.
