If anyone is hiring or knows of someone who is hiring remotely in the UK or locally in NI for an astrophysics PhD who is cracking with Python, knows a bit of SQL and cloud computing, is experienced in both data analysis and software development, and is ALSO uncannily quick to learn new things, then hit me up.

ETA: Just to be clear: I'm not looking for astrophysics jobs. My experience in astro was largely in big data wrangling and software dev so that's what I'm after now!

Over the night I got so many responses and boosts to my original Toot that I decided to start the petition to Node.js Technical Steering Committee (TSC) to make sure all our voices are heard.

If you don't want Node.js core to be diluted with AI slop - please sign it by opening a Pull Request here and boosting this Toot for reach:

Thank you, you are the best!

This is a great documentary. Seek it out.

I’ve been doing this systems stuff so long, I’ve forgotten things a decade ago incarnation of me knew/did lol

Totally forgot about this slide (swiped from the quoted tweet) from a conference talk I did:

When you post things on Instagram, Facebook, and X, this is what they look like to people who don’t use those platforms.

Welp.

As of this morning, I am no longer employed, and am looking for a new role.

If you happen to know anyone hiring remote positions in the US, and looking for:

- Lead/Senior/Principal level software engineers (Ruby/Rails, React, NodeJS, etc.)
- Business Analysts
- Engineering Managers

please let me know.
