SEEKING WORK | Remote/hybrid (Denmark)

Senior front-end developer available for hire!

I have 15 years of experience and I can help your team with: React, TypeScript, Playwright/Testing Library, improving developer experience (CI, build tooling), sparring with team members, and setting up your project for success. Past clients include major financial institutions, pharmaceutical startups, and SaaS businesses.

I'm situated in Odense, Denmark and I'm open for remote or hybrid contracts.

CV/résumé available upon request.

On a previous job we underwent a migration from Lynq/Skype for Business/email to Slack. It was driven by us employees and channels were very active and people engaged. We had dev teams in four different countries and I believe the communication on Slack was a key ingredient to our success.

Years later upper management must have noticed the Slack line item in the sheets and the company migrated to Teams which was of course included in the Office 365 plan. Public channels become almost silent in comparison and we reverted to DM'ing/emails.

Indeed. I was surprised when new Apple TV 4K remote was able to turn on/off my 2009 Panasonic plasma TV. And the Apple TV remote could be IR programmed to adjust the volume of my NAD amplifier, too.

This is perfect for me as I still find the picture quality of plasma sufficient and don’t want a “smart” TV.

Try to follow the Colorado River downstream of Lake Mead on Google Maps with satellite imagery turned on. It's quite interesting to see how much water is diverted away from it, primarily for irrigation.

Nothing to do outside of crop agriculture in Viking times gives time for:

- Building housing and barns

- Chopping firewood

- Shipbuilding

- Wood working

- Weaving fabric (linen) from the summer harvest

- Ropes

- Leatherworking

- Metalworking/blacksmithing

- Pottery

- Animal husbandry

- Hunting

- Fishing

... and probably lots of other things that were necessary during those times. Of course Viking raids are a different means of acquiring a lot of the above.

I don’t believe a Christmas tree made from fossil fuels is more sustainable than my certified organic Christmas tree grown less than 5 km from my home.

That being said I know most trees are sprayed regularly, then wrapped in plastic netting and transported long distances to a Christmas market.

that made me wonder about lifetime cost - I've just donated my wood, wire & ff-plastic tree of 20 years to another home, I don't have an answer tho' ...

It's pretty much the same in Denmark. It's either a blue bubble or a green bubble. I'm pretty sure it's because of the heavy competition between mobile carriers in the 00's resulting in unlimited free SMS texts, thus having no incentive for using an alternative messaging platform. This meant that once iPhones became popular, every iPhone user's message automatically became an iMessage.

Practically no-one has WhatsApp here, but all my family in the Netherlands use WhatsApp almost exclusively. It's my impression that in the Nordic countries it's iMessage but the rest of Europe uses WhatsApp.

My experience is that Facebook Messenger is the most popular in Denmark.

I'd like to see statistics though if you can find them.

Now that I think of it, I use Facebook Messenger quite a lot as well. In fact, probably more than iMessage/SMS so you're right.

Anecdotally, this is true in Sweden as well. Especially in the 25+ demographic.

Agreed, I lived in Copenhagen and I had to sign up for Messenger to chat with new friends there.

Seems that Norway and Denmark are in a bubble, because it is definitely not like this in Finland where data and tech have been years ahead. As soon as 3g/4g plans and smartphones started becoming more widespread than unlimited SMS/MMS, WhatsApp took over.

I have noticed that my Norwegian friends use Facebook Messenger quite a lot and the iPhone is pretty ubiquitous there with younger folk, so perhaps Denmark is the same.

Sadly, also in Denmark as the article mentions, I’ve only had to clean my windshield once this summer (by clean I mean scrubbing, I do use the windshield washer more often). 1995 Defender.

I only have to look outside at my neighbors winter wheat field to find one of the reasons. It’s been sprayed 3 times already this fall after sowing.

Yeah, it's a pitty. But you do have to scrub it more than a normal care. I gave up having a clean wind shield.

EGR systems are known to be a cause of deposits in the intake-side of an engine.

A blast of walnut shells through the engine will clear those deposits right up. You can also use seafoam as a preventative measure to burn off any excess deposits.

If you want a performance boost, you can get a methanol-water injection added to your engine which should boost hp output while burning off those deposits. Just be careful with meth, if the mixture is not present engine temps will skyrocket leading to knocking and detonation very shortly afterwards. A properly integrated fuel-cutoff system will prevent this but you must ensure your meth controller has this functionality otherwise you are taking a great risk IMHO

I’ve been using a Mac since Tiger. To me macOS Monterey has been the best version since Snow Leopard. It feels very stable and performant, much more so than Catalina and Big Sur.

I’ve dubbed it the “Snow Leopard” of modern macOS. IIRC it’s coincidentally the second release after a CPU architecture change, too.

Monterey dropped code for quite a few legacy hardware in kernel, which make it much hard to be installed on older Macs; but the flip side is it obviously feels better for newer models.
