Captivated by WordPress development during his architecture studies, Giuseppe couldn't escape the web dev industry for the next two decades.
WP expert and eager open source contributor, he used to say he spoke PHP better than English.
Despite his undiminished interest in software development and architecture, his job has lately been more about engineering leadership and strategy than code.
These days, he's struggling more with the "socio-" part of his socio-technical job.

Quick vibe* check with all the developers among my followers: Do you use #AI in your work? If yes, in what way(s)?
* pun intended
| No, not in any way. | |
| Yes, but read-only (research, analysis etc.). | |
| Yes, read & write (but I check every line of code) | |
| Yes, I vibe code (YOLO, if it seems to work) |

Hey internet. I'm hiring for a vuln researcher/exploit dev/hacker type.
US preferred, UK okay.
Reports to me, in the research engineering team at @runZeroInc.
HMU if you're interested, and then fill out the thing. If you use a name different from the one I know you as, please be clear about that so I can tag the (internal) recruiter with that info.

Just laid off along with whole team. I'm in the middle of moving. Movers coming on Saturday. I'm not done packing. Good: time to finish packing. Goodish: cheaper rent at new locale. Bad: older guy computer programmer, but not even in COBOL [C, Perl, Python, PL-SQL, RedHat and Debian Linux. Created a custom RPM just Friday.]
Looking. CT / NYC / remote.

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'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 commercial #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.
