I'd love to pursue this as the evening hours work great for a single mom, but the Saturday requirement for the PT program makes it not possible for me. :(

Hey all, I'm a project manager/writer/producer/social media/community person with 12 years of experience in video games looking for a side gig. Looking for something remote-friendly in the evening time that I can do outside of my full-time job. Open to all sorts of ideas. I'm technical, but not looking for coding roles at this point. I'd love to find a content marketing/writing role where I can contribute articles, or a project management side gig.

Austin, TX

Remote: yes

Willing to relocate: no

Technologies: Wordpress, Jira, Shopify, Trello, Google Suite, Git, HTML, CSS, Xcode, etc.

Resume/CV: http://www.tamisigmund.com/

Email: [email protected]

Thanks!

Are you guys hiring any non-engineering types at all? Like community management/social media/customer service types? :)

I'm actually curious to hear how you built this! :) As someone learning to code, myself.

I live in San Diego now, but I just moved back here from San Francisco. I've lived elsewhere in America. I never felt the disparity as much as I did in SF. I walked around being intensely aware of my privilege and it was uncomfortable.

I actually wonder if this means that SF-based startups (or those who are blindly following this 'culture hacks' mentality) are actually worse places to work overall? I wonder if focusing on the quick fixes like free lunch, company trips & ping pong tables ends up outweighing REAL company culture in terms of ROI.

San Francisco - full time/onsite (no remote) Backend Server Engineer, reloc offered.

We make freemium iOS games and are located in the SoMa neighborhood.

You'll be doing development in PHP and Python (we would prefer people heavier on the Python side)

You'll be responsible for MySQL database schema design for any features you build

You'll be working with a series of production Redis deployments, and should know when data belong here vs MySQL.

You'll be given a fair amount of work freedom, and be expected to manage yourself. "With great power comes great responsibility" and all that...

You'll be using Git and Github

You'll be reviewing your fellow server engineers' code, and getting your own reviewed on a regular basis

You'll grow incredibly familiar with Amazon Web Services, if you aren't already

You'll be talking about games. A lot. And playing some too, if you like.

There are also web programmers in the game industry.

Rails Installer was pretty close to this.

I'm one of those people who have been trying to learn how to code, and I did start out using Codecademy. I quickly figured out what you're saying here: it kind of sucks. It was helpful for making me think about things with a programmer mindset and also helped teach me syntax, but I completed the entire JavaScript and Python tracks without any clue how to go on to make my own project. Also, it had so many bugs that half the time I ended up checking the Q&A section and just copy/pasting code that worked.

On the contrary, I'm now doing One Month Rails, a $20 course from Skillshare. The very first lesson taught me how to set up Git, get Ruby & Rails all set up on my machine, created a new project, and deployed it to Heroku. This was already a world more helpful than the Codecademy lessons. (I'm blogging about it here in case anyone is interested: https://cuppycode.wordpress.com/ )

Next I'm going to go through the Rails 3 Tutorial. If there are things like this (project focused, help you set up the dev environment) for Python, could anyone recommend?
