The crash diet is easier than a relationship with food.

The vow of silence is easier than learning to speak carefully.

Burning it all down is easier than staying.

The extreme isn't actually discipline; it's the easy way out.

On average, global ocean temperatures right now are the hottest in our historical records for this time of year!

I got the boot this month and am looking for a new software developer job. Rust and Python would be fun, but I can do a lot of stuff in JS/TS, Kotlin, Java, even C/C++ with a bit of a brush up... Bit of a jack of all trades full stack dev.

Working with open source would be awesome if it paid just enough to survive the mortgage and get something to eat. Climate positive job or EU digital independence development is interesting too.

Hybrid work within reasonable distance from Klaukkala is a-OK. Remote probably whole of EU <3. Can't travel.

Having put this https://jago.kapsi.fi/cv.pdf up on the public interwebs, I'm probably unfit to work in any US company...

Not a techbro. Sane person and a long-time ally.

I have consistently refused to engage AI in any tasks that require mental effort. Intuitively, I felt that it leads to laziness and eventual deterioration of problem-solving skills. I still consistently challenge myself by solving already solved problems - not because they haven't been solved well already - but in order to maintain my skills. I can only recommend this approach.

I'm looking for work, please boost!

I'm a senior software engineer with 35 years of experience. I've worked across an unusually wide range of domains: mobile game backends, privacy-preserving data platforms, high-throughput COVID testing infrastructure, email and account systems, e-payment processing, job marketplace systems, and bioinformatics. I pick up new domains quickly and have a track record of doing it repeatedly. I understand how to turn business needs into engineering requirements.

I've worked remotely since the 1990s and can operate with minimal supervision. I don't need hand-holding to find the right problem to solve. Several of my most valued projects were self-directed: I identified the need, built the thing, and shipped it.

Some of the technologies I'm familiar with include: Python, Perl, TypeScript/JavaScript, Haskell, Go, C, Java. Postgres, MySQL, SQLite. Flask, SQLAlchemy. AWS (Lambda, S3, RDS, SQS, EC2). Docker, Git. Github and Gitlab.

I've also repeatedly picked up new languages and stacks as needed: Haskell for differential privacy research, TypeScript for a 24/7 AWS Lambda system, Flask for my most recent employer. I've become productive with new systems over and over, and I can do it quickly.

I'm also a published author (Higher-Order Perl, Morgan Kaufmann), longtime blogger, and conference speaker with a reputation for making complex ideas clear.
