My employer, Shopify, announced layoffs today and I've been affected. If you're looking for someone with deep experience with developer tooling and developer environments, I'd love to work with you. I've spent the last two years building Shopify's in-house cloud developer environment, and I have extensive experience building developer tools as one of members of the Homebrew package manager's Project Leadership Committee.

I have a terrific local park with an amazing variety of plants and animals, including this guy.

Layoffs have been hitting some folks I know pretty hard, either directly, or through having to add others' responsibilities on to their own.

My company is hiring for a half dozen positions. One of the positions (Sr Systems Engineer) is on my team. Each of them is a real position that we're actually interviewing to fill.

Domaintools is a great company, filled with some of the smartest and best people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I've been with FSI and DT (FSI was bought about a year and a half ago by DT) for a total of over 9 years now, and I'm still hyped about my job, the learning opportunities, the people, and the impact we make on the world.

If the layoffs impacted you, and there's a fit, come work with me. If you're unhappy with your position, but the move still sounds like a good idea, come work with me and open your spot for someone else!

Reach out to me with any questions, or if you'd like to ask me to officially recommend you for the position to the hiring manager.

I'm sure my mastodon reach is nearly non-existent, buuut.

I'm strapping on my job helmet. Looking for someone with infrastructure/sre chops? I’ve done a lot of different things including networking, systems automation (terraform, shell, others), refining development environments with Nix. Autoscaling CI builders (didn't even use containers!), automating manual processes to free up QA time, those are the kinds of things I dig.

BlackBerry director Matt Johnson on why the iPhone won and why most tech movies suck

‘It’s so weird to see, now, a culture trying to recapture whatever it was that the BlackBerry was trying to do at first.’

Not sure I've ever read a better short take on the fatal flaw of accountability-based school reform - "the most efficient tool ever devised to destroy a student’s interest in learning" - as this one by @DLabaree. He zeroes in on the difference between effectiveness and efficiency.

I’m currently hiring a Staff-level software developer for my team at BackerKit. I’d be delighted to talk about it with you or anyone you know who might be a fit.

I’m looking for someone who has:

- Deep experience in Ruby and Rails
- A history of pair programming - and is excited to use it every day to teach & learn
- Expertise in automated testing and test driven development

I spent a year digging into the SolarWinds hack - talking with SolarWinds/Mandiant/Microsoft and others -- to bring you this detailed story of how the hackers pulled off the boldest, most sophisticated supply-chain hack in history ... and how they got caught. https://www.wired.com/story/the-untold-story-of-solarwinds-the-boldest-supply-chain-hack-ever/
