SEEKING WORK | REMOTE | US and EU Timezones

~~

20+ yoe as dev/IC. 10+ yoe in managerial and executive roles. Multiple great exits and acquisitions. I have recently built a software NGO with over half a million supporters and over a thousand active volunteers and major political and media networking. I have built tech for Tezos, Oracle, Shell, Digitas, Saatchi & Saatchi, Time Warner, Sparkasse, Bank of America.

If there's a problem related to tech, I can solve it, and build a team or company around it. Available for work as dev/IC, EM, Director, or CTO, with experience in each. Full-solution MVP development from scratch. Performance optimization and modernization of older systems. DSL and programming language design, compilers. Let me know if you're looking for experience that isn't below! HN posts are short. CV upon request.

If you think I might be able to help you, shoot me an email: damian.jobsites+hn@gmail.com

Example engagement types:

- Long term dev / IC or managerial roles

- Security audits for cryptography and secure code

- Review your code and dev processes, 10-page report

- Short-term dev and research work

- One-shot meetings

All of that? At an expert level? Could you say what are the main advantages/drawbacks of Scala typesytem in comparison with OCaml and Haskell?


It's extremely messy and annoying to work with, to do the same thing you'd do by walking one step in Haskell you have to do five somersaults in Scala. It can't be fixed, and the Scala community thinks fixing it means hiding it behind fifty layers of fragile abstractions.

This is not really about typesystem differences. So, probably not everything at an expert level?

what is wrong with you?

Every time I see a long list of technologies I truly wonder what level of knowledge the claimant assumes. In most of the cases breadth replaces depth.

there's a time and a place, this is clearly not it.

Why not?

this isn't a comments section for an article, it's a reverse job posting by a human. you appear to be taking pot shots at the commenter with a stated goal of exposing their lack of depth in one of the technologies they listed in their posting. you don't appear to be making a good faith attempt to hire or interview this person. in the context of a "Who is hiring" post, this is antisocial behavior and rude. additionally, nowhere in the post was any sort of claim made that the author is an expert in anything.
