@leonardr I can’t hire you, but I have used beautiful soup before and want to say thank you.
Good luck with the job hunt.
I gotta say I have always loved beautiful soup!
Thanks so much for all that you do, and best of luck to you on your job hunt
@leonardr Beautiful Soup is such a delightful library. It helped me on many real world on-the-job problems. Thank you for creating it.
I'd never though I'd "meet" you on social media and I'm thrilled you like Rust too. I hope you find a good job.

Teradata is a woke company that invests in DEI and allyship for minorities. It’s one of the most ethical companies. Most employees work remotely with no pressure to return to the office. I’m happy to work there.
Not sure what else to say other than it’s good to have choices.
@varx
Yeah. Am I making enough money, is the employer honest, do I like the people I work with, am I learning interesting tech, is my life in balance, do I like the business model.
Business model is close to the bottom for me.
