Romania’s recycling revolution is officially underway. Backed by the government, the country has rolled out one of the world’s largest return schemes, where shoppers pay a small deposit on bottles and cans and get it back when they return them. The result? Billions of containers have been brought back for recycling and there’s been a huge drop in litter. Now that’s an environmental win.

So yeah. I am kinda looking for a new job that allows me to make our digital world meaningfully better. If you have any leads or thoughts, ping me.

I've been contemplating to write this post for months. The reason I haven't is the exact thing I want to write about. And that's just silly. So here goes: Fear of voicing the unpopular opinion within the WordPress ecosystem https://coenjacobs.com/blog/fear-voicing-unpopular-opinion-within-wordpress-ecosystem/

I'm a software developer and sysadmin who could really use being #fedihired.

What I'd really like to do is Rust, but once you ignore the dubious crypto and AI stuff, there seems to be nothing out there. Prove me wrong with a counterexample!

I've spent decades fixing Enterprise mudballs mostly written in #Perl. If you've got a crufty legacy system that everybody else is too scared to touch, I'm your man. I love fixing stuff like that.

I've also done commerical #Scala, #Python, #C/#C++, and although I don't usually admit it on my CV but these are now Trying Times when everything is on the table, even #PHP (the longest six months of my life).

Perl naturally leads into Unix system administration and infrastructure. I've built and maintained mail clusters, VoIP systems, network monitoring, DNS management platforms, that sort of thing. If it's non-sexy but something which needs to be done, I'm there.

Available immediately, for contract or permie, onsite in Amsterdam/Randstad or remote to anywhere.

Drop me a private mention or mail [email protected] if you have or know of something.
