timewasted | 1 year ago | on: Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (June 2024)
Remote: Yes, preferably pacific hours but this isn't strictly a dealbreaker
Willing to relocate: Never say never, but unlikely
Technologies: While PHP and Java have primarily paid the bills these past few years, I am not tied to them. I have a reasonable amount of experience with all parts of the typical web dev stack, and where I lack experience I make up for it by being a quick and eager learner.

- Primarily backend technologies, with PHP/Symfony having occupied a large chunk of my career.
- Worked with Java professionally for a bit over a year.
- Toyed with Python and Go for various hobby projects.
- Have a stack of Elixir books that I'm working through.
- The usual suspects that tend to go along with web development: SQL (primarily via MySQL), nginx, a bit of JavaScript

My last role was a senior software engineer at Slickdeals, but I got caught up in a recent round of layoffs that hit a third of the company. I like solving problems, and I tend to use code to do so. I've primarily been on the backend side of things in my career, and that's definitely where I'm most comfortable. I like to think that I can adapt to new languages/circumstances fairly well, and am looking for a good group of folks to work with!

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada
Remote: yes, vastly preferred
Willing to relocate: highly unlikely, but perhaps for the right opportunity?
Technologies: PHP and Java primarily for my professional career. I have a very strong interest in security/reverse engineering and I'd like a good excuse to really dive into Elixir and/or Rust. Some hobby work with Go, Python and Vue. Various devops stuff (Ansible, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, etc).

Further, we are being given less than 24 hours notice to come back into the office. It's just absurd, and it has eroded any trust that I once had in the company.

In Daredevil, Matt Murdoch pushes an old man out of the way of a truck that contains chemicals that blind him but give him superhuman abilities. He is then trained by his mentor Stick the fight against The Hand.
In TMNT, there is an incident that involves chemicals getting into a sewer that transforms the turtles as well as the rat that is with them. That rat is named Splinter, and he trains the turtles to fight against The Foot.
Also no particular point aside from my own amusement!

About me: I am passionate about what I do, and am quick to pick up new skills as the need arises. The technologies that I listed above are what I would consider to be my core skills, but they are not my only skills. In the past I've worked with Python, Perl, and Go as well to name a few. In a perfect world, maybe I'd get the chance to finally work with Elixir in a professional capacity!
