Christopher NeugebauerSome regrettable personal news:
As of ~45 mins ago I am no longer employed. I'm still trying to find my bearings, but would be gateful for whatever leads y'all have.
(I will say more in a bit, once I actually have the time to spare)
As promised:
I'm a staff-ish level software engineer, fairly deeply involved in the Python community (see @NorthBayPython which I organise, and @ThePSF where I'm a board Director). Things I like: understanding/taking apart/reassembling systems; open source; technology in service of humans. Otherwise not terribly picky :)
Things I'm good at: programming in #Python (other languages acceptable, of course), communicating complicated stuff in conference talks, probably a few things related to that. Ask?
Holly Becker@chrisjrn ugh, sympathies, that sucks. Hope you can find something suitable soon
Markus Holtermann@chrisjrn 🫂 Good luck and all the best finding something quickly.
Sumana Harihareswara@chrisjrn My condolences and best wishes.
Luis Villa@chrisjrn ugh, sorry.
Simon Rolfmore@chrisjrn oh that’s horrid :( I hope you find something good soon!

Token Sane Person@chrisjrn I've been laid off 3 times. It always feels unfair, because it is. You were deeply invested in whatever you were doing and the team you were in, and then it gets snatched away. But this will pass. You will move on, find new work, and with luck it will be better paid and just as rewarding to work on.
Good luck.
Mason Loring Bliss@chrisjrn Once you have a fedihired post ready I'll boost it.
I'm sorry you've fallen victim to our broken economic system.
genehack@chrisjrn Happy to recommend you for anything on https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/natera (and to discuss beforehand if you'd like)
@genehack thanks, I'll review that in a bit. I've been health-adjacent for a while now and enjoying it
Brian MacDonald@chrisjrn Happy to recommend you for anything on here: https://temporal.io/careers#become-a-temporalite
