Technologist-at-large.

Recently: fractional CTO, LLM operations and automation, mobile apps, browser extensions, due diligence, business combinations and integrations.

Formerly: multiple CTO roles, head of product, chief architect, VP Eng., and many different IC roles. A few acquisitions including a cloud financial software company and an Inc. 500 startup. Also experience in healthcare, industrial engineering, transportation/logistics, and manufacturing. I studied maths-based computer science.

The things I like:

1. Pro bono technology implementation and management for charitable concerns.

2. Exigency: contact me if your situation might benefit from external support.

3. Data modeling, data migrations, and making your data systems work really well, i.e., not just fast, but correct. I can help you get the most out of the technology in which you're invested. "You bought it, so you ought to use it."

4. Green fields, end-to-end development.

5. Opportunities to employ ML-family languages for practical applications. (F# f#@6. Low-level odd/embedded platforms, like printers, fabrication machines, industrial automation controllers, and low-power devices, especially building drivers for newer connectivity like WebBLE and WebUSB.

I work a lot with React Native, Expo, React, TypeScript, Python, and Rails. I have a lot of practical, production experience in the cloud on AWS, Azure, and GCP. I'm also comfortable in a traditional datacenter after many years of building servers and running co-lo. My relational databases of choice are Oracle (ask me why) and PostgreSQL. My graph database of choice is Neo4j. I have a long history with Java and the EE platform, Spring, and all sorts of other things in that ecosystem.

I'm also somewhat of an expert in certain areas of financial reporting: FAS 109, FAS 123(r)/ASC 718, FAS 128, FAS 5, FAS 114, FIN 48, transfer pricing, GAAP/IFRS convergence.

We're talking about an American bill. I'm glad your government is abiding by its laws, though.

I agree with everything you said when considering your caveat that the government needs to act lawfully and in good faith. I also appreciate that you have probably dealt directly with similar matters. Since the government has demonstrated that it won't comply, though, I am unwilling to go in that direction, and I guess in that way we see it differently.

They're not equally bad. You can disagree, but you'll have to convince me by argument. I've already laid out mine.

I don't understand the fascination with pretending. System A is bad. System B is worse. System B theoretically shouldn't exist yet it does and there's nothing you can do about it, so now you're advocating for B. What's the rationale?

I get all of these hypotheticals, but, again, we know that it's not true. The government routinely collects and shares information that it shouldn't. We can't talk about it like it doesn't because it was designed not to. We have to contend with reality.

Right. It's theoretical. We have hard proof that it's not, though. The second part is that the government can compel it. I am free to ignore Zuck.

When I hear this argument ("better the government do it than a private company") I recoil. The government is sovereign, only accepts lawsuits at its discretion, and can use violence to get its way. We also know for a fact that it abuses its powers and conducts surreptitious unlawful campaigns against its citizens.

I'm not on board with any of it, but the last thing I want is the government to control it.

I don't see a many habitual problem accounts. Do you? I guess there was the arguably special case of a certain OS enthusiast...
