Grumpy Northerner ex-🇬🇧, now in 🇳🇱 where there are fewer Brexiters, TERFs and other nutters [citation needed]. Spends most waking hours swearing at computers. Thank Cthulhu for beer! Got a Rust, Perl, sysadmin or other related gig? Ping me.
Account is only locked to keep out bots etc, and follow requests from humans are almost always accepted, even if I don't know you. Try not to look like a spambot.
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 scammy 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.
@regehr There are quite a few if you trawl traditional British cuisine, e.g. Toad in the Hole, Spotted Dick, Bubble and Squeak.
Outside of the Anglosphere, a very common modern (from 2003!) Dutch dish is the "kapsalon", literally "hairdresser", which is a sort of kebab gone wrong yet which is so right when stumbling back from the boozer.
@davidgerard I assume you've seen the story where Meta have decided to give an AI chatbot free rein to modify accounts and then let the great unwashed chat to it, with the obvious result?

Somewhere a Meta product doc says the support agent has “account modification capabilities to better assist users.” In other words it can hijack your Instagram and the only auth check is whether you typed a convincing sentence. Can’t wait for their “cloud.”
