I'm back on the job market after getting DOGE'd from my job with USDA that I started in December.

I'm a software developer with over a decade and a half of professional experience in both established projects and startups. I've mostly been involved in web application development, and mostly backend work recently. But having worked with mostly small teams, I'm a pretty good generalist.

My resume: https://con.cor.dance/ben-anhalt-resume.pdf

I'm open to pretty much any opportunity in any ethical industry. By that I mean: no cryptocurrency, targeted ad tech, arms manufacturing, LLM snake oil, etc.

I'm particularly interested in roles where I can contribute as part of a healthy, collaborative team, and the work has a prosocial impact. I greatly prefer fully remote, but for the right job I would consider onsite in Lawrence, KS; Topeka; or the western KC metro.

Yes - Trump and Pompeo signed the surrender with Taliban that:
-surrendered Afghanistan to terrorists
-gave $87 billion of US Military equip 2 Taliban
-released 5000 terrorists from jail in exchange for no one
-killed 13 troops at Kabul airport

Putin could not have scripted Donald's treason any better.

Many Americans are not familiar with the horrible facts of this anti-American treasonous surrender.

“The essence of propaganda is constant simplicity and repetition. Only those who reduce problems to the simplest formula and have the courage to repeat them forever in this form, even against the objections of intellectuals, will achieve fundamental success in influencing public opinion in the long run.”

@davidaugust thank you for the gift article. You do not hear much about Hugenberg, the #Musk of Hilter's rise to power.

Seems familiar:

"Hugenberg practiced what he called Katastrophenpolitk, 'the politics of catastrophe,' by which he sought to polarize public opinion and the political parties with incendiary news stories, some of them Fabrikationen—entirely fabricated articles intended to cause confusion and outrage."
