SEEKING WORK | remote work | USA HQ / Ukraine Devs

I co-founded and run AboveBits a web / app development studio, with an offshore team in Ukraine, and HQ based in Los Angeles. Many startups and large companies outsource to us and I would love to talk with you about the possibility of us working with/for you.

We have a very serious testing and quality assurance system and our work is extremely high quality. While our pricing is competitive, we are not as low priced as what you might see from India and China, but our quality, process and deliverables are of extremely high caliber.

We have worked on some very large projects recently and you can see more at abovebits.com

Some recent / ongoing / coming soon web projects:
fingercheck.com, artnaturals.com, shopgiveable.com

Additionally we have worked on quite a few large (and small) apps, including some European competitors/clones to Uber and AAA Roadside Services.

Also two apps in review in the app store this week, and a lot more.

I would love to talk more with you if you are interested. Please contact me through the contact form on abovebits.com
I'm in Boston & went through an intensive FT job search here about 18 months ago. I'm a mobile developer with 20+ years total experience in desktop, backend, web+mobile, product management, started my own company, etc.

Worked with lots of recruiters, personal network etc., felt like I really got a sense of what the salary landscape is here. Some facts:

- I was leaving a job at a hot unicorn startup that paid $125K base and I was told I was one of the highest paid engineers on staff (20+ engineers)

- I received 2 offers during this job search (was very selective else could have gotten many, many more)

- First offer: IOS developer at very large consulting firm for $120K base (with possibility of small bonus).

- Second offer: IOS developer position that was comparable in interest to first. Decided to "shoot for the moon" and ask for $145K. They agreed, and that's where I'm (happily) working now.

According to this study, SW engineers with my level of experience in these cities are making $181K on average! From what I could see that's just not available here to the rank and file, "average" experienced sw engineer. That salary would be more like top-of-range here.

Am I doing something wrong? Is Boston really that different than Seattle/NYC/SF?

Is this salary or total comp? It's not specified which.

Total Comp figures are important, and differences in effective take home pay will be hidden if you only list salaries.
Wait, are you really complaining about nutrition at a fast food restaurant ?
No way they could prepare it on the grill, unless they had a dedicated grill for it. Sharing the grill with real burgers would mean tons of meat grease contaminating the veggie burgers.

They're probably unwilling to dedicate the kitchen space for a vegetarian grill, so the microwave is the obvious choice. Microwaves won't cross-contaminate like a greasy grill will, and are already in the kitchen so the financial risk is minimized.

I've been doing frontend dev for 10 years and had to change my stack & way of working only 3 times:

- HTML templates (served by Symfony/ASP.NET/Rails/Django) + jQuery + dependencies manually downloaded/updated/deleted/added to the index.html

- ~2014: Angular SPA + Grunt + dependencies managed with Bower and added manually in the index.html

- ~2017: React SPA + Webpack/Babel + dependencies managed with NPM and added automatically in the index.html with Webpack.

The last one is by far the stack with which I'm the most productive and I encounter the less bugs. I feel like frontend dev is finally mature and enjoyable.

But anyway, jumping from one stack to another one was quite easy. A few days of learning.

-

I've been doing backend dev for 10 years too and had to change my stack & way of working as often, if not more.

Jumping from one (or several) languages/frameworks/databases/ORMs/web servers/containers/package managers/testing tools/and so on, usually take several weeks of learning.

Imo, the "frontend world is crazy/changes too fast" is way over exaggerated.

If you'd come in at the same point in the cycle in 2015, you'd have gotten the same blank stares for Bernie Sanders. Or in 2003, none would have known who Howard Dean was. Of course, six months later, Dean completely dominated the Democratic nomination process, largely for standing up and plainly stating beliefs that most Democrats shared, which were being rejected by most Democratic politicians.

UBI is widely popular among liberals (and libertarians), and the other candidates aren't even mentioning it. That's how Yang is getting a lot of interest and traction in Iowa and NH. And it helps that he has some characteristics that sell well in the retail-politics, highly personal world of IA/NH primary politics. He comes across as a pretty ordinary and totally sincere person, and those things always sell well. (Source: I lived in Iowa through four presidential campaigns.)
That's making the rather bold assumption that the climate will be habitable for humankind.
Same, no problems yet. A hypothesis I found while looking into it: shelf life of condiments nowadays might be less than it used to be due to manufacturers cutting sugar and salt.

Do you have similar data for companies outside USA, specifically Canada? Salaries in Bay Area, Seattle and NY are quite higher than other tech hubs, but I want to know what the differences are from Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Vancouver. From my research, data outside the US is very limited and outdated.
BitMEX | San Francisco | Onsite |Full-time| Kuberentes, Node, Mobile

BitMEX is a cryptocurrency P2P trading platform offering unrivaled liquidity, security, and career opportunities. Our platform was developed by ex-bankers who were (and are) well-versed in computer science, financial engineering, and traditional finance. BitMEX launched in 2014 and subsequently has grown to become one of the most important marketplaces in the crypto space. n a pulldown menu of “What industry are you in?” it is certainly fair to label BitMEX a fintech company. But we feel like the word “fintech” doesn’t do justice to the uniqueness or grandeur of what we’re building.

Our ambition is to be the pre-eminent futures market for the major crypto-coins (including new ones, as they arrive on the scene), and BitMEX is already is one of the most significant price discovery mechanisms for Bitcoin, which is the most established digital currency so far.

And since Bitcoin may yet turn out to be a civilisation-saving monetary instrument — mankind’s ultimate store of value — history may come to reveal that BitMEX’s trading platform played a crucial role in saving the world. Or, it might just unfold that Bitcoin is a helluva lot of fun for awhile, before petering out or blowing up for some unforeseen reason. Both scenarios are logically imaginable (to use the phrase, from another context, of Hungarian philosopher Tibor Machan).

One way or another, Bitcoin is the defining technology of our current era. And if you work at BitMEX, you will have been part of Bitcoin in the most essential and extreme possible way.

Our top positions right now are:
Mobile Engineer: https://grnh.se/ea3714a82
Kubernetes Engineer: https://grnh.se/57ca65ef2
API Engineer: https://grnh.se/499fb4222

If you are interested, please apply to the position you believe you are best suited for and we will get back to you ASAP.
You can probably assume a lot of people who aren't using version control aren't using the terminal either. GUIs are generally much better at CLIs at giving you an overview of what's happening and what actions are available too.

>Knowing that I have medications available to me that can help me get to sleep is enough that I think I don't actually need the medications any more.

Honest question: Have you ever considered that your insomnia was psychosomatic and, through your doctors involvement in for-profit sales of pharmaceuticals, socially re-inforced?
What about Babel, JSX? I'm a C++ dev that's trying to learn JS.

As I know if you want to use modern JS you have to compile it with babel to "portable" JS with Babel.

And it was really painful to create DOM elements with createElement and small wrappers around them, so JSX should help here.

Or you can just skip those?
NSA ? lol
Frankly, I'm a little tired of the meat-substitute products, as they don't taste as good nor are they likely to be as healthy as a proper, whole-food plant veggie burger.

Impossible Burger 1.0 was vital wheat gluten based, and Impossible Burger 2.0 will be soy based. I'd probably rather have the 2nd over the first, but a lot of these announcements aren't specific about which formulation is being sold.

I have tried the Impossible Burger in a number of places, and to my taste, it's inedible. My girlfriend likes to try them, and the best we've had so far is at a fish & steak place in Phoenix (Dillon's, out on the west side, near Sun City).

> * Assembly is not moving, mostly because it's dying. There's one notable exception: ARM.

What? Assembly is not moving, because it's complete. You can pick Intel or ATT syntax, and then you just need to handle new mnemonics when your processor or choice ads new opcodes. Certainly, assembly has a smaller market share than in the past, but there's nothing to replace it for critical sections, so I don't see how it's dying, since it won't ever be dead.
It's called being a human with needs and solving those needs. yes carry a back pack wherever you go. Am empty back pack is light and you won't even notice it. I guarantee there are things that you use everyday that you can put in there. Like a user below me suggested, a water bottle is a great first thing to carry with you everywhere.

It's not that you might go to the store either. OP explicitly said they do not know when they are going to shop. It is random, therefore either change your behavior to be more predictable or prepare yourself for your known unknown. Excuses like these are childish unless you have accessibility issues.
This is similar to the "Lattice Method" that they taught (still teach?) here in the US. I can't stand it. The students simply learn an algorithm, without developing a sense of place value and an intuition for "how numbers work." Sure, they can quickly multiply large numbers and it's a cool "party trick." But they aren't learning math. Might as well use an iPhone.
Any idea what triggered the insomnia?

I have been in both red team and blue team security positions, and I'm comfortable being in a lot of tech stacks in reading code and adapting to whatever the company focuses on. I've also written a quick intercepting proxy with TLS support (in Node.js... that was interesting to work on) to capture WebSocket traffic as a part of pentesting, which I presented a couple of years ago at Black Hat Arsenal 2017. I've mentored employees in a blue team role on application security best practices. I'm open to security engineering or security consulting positions, minus software engineering or adjacent roles thereof. I am looking primarily for remote work due to an injury.
Learn Linux, 101: Networking Fundamentals
> I never understood why one would want to make a veggie burger taste like meat.

Because most people find meat delicious and it fills a particular cultural niche in the United States in particular. Veggie burgers are tasty too, but if you are craving a beef burger, it's not the same thing, much like tofu is not a satisfying substitute for chicken, even if it's delicious when prepared as tofu.

You can try to change the tastes of millions or you can just make a less environmentally damaging substitute.
This varies from person to person. As it's been explained to me, some people are indeed "lifers", others use it temporarily (years, even, but not necessarily for the rest of his/her life). Meds alone generally don't make the depression "go away".
It's a relative comparison. Kids are far better at memorizing stuff and dealing with things that have been made "concrete" to them, compared to abstract thinking - because effective abstraction requires a sort of overall maturity of thinking that very few kids can be expected to develop at an early age! So it's better to just teach the memorization and concrete steps first, and focus on the more abstract stuff later on.
This has been about my experience too. Down to the exact technologies and years.
While the fissure you describe as a guaranteed outcome is certainly likely in many such scenarios, you're missing the point:

Implementing a standard without regard for the beliefs of other implementors is an action that supports a standard. Refusing to work with others does not implicitly harm a standard.

You assert that refusing to cooperate with another implementor is guaranteed to harm a standard. It is not guaranteed at all.

DJB has not destroyed DNS. BoringSSL has not destroyed TLS. A thousand reimplementations of standards in Rust have not destroyed a thousand standards.

You clearly believe that Cloudflare is acting in bad faith, and are constructing a worldview out of assumptions that you declare instead are facts. While I respect your right to hold those views, I do not respect your declaration of future outcomes as fact.
A happy subscriber here. Happy birthday!
Wow, over half? Is this a finance company?
In practice, you wouldn't really need to have a metric for the blue team, for the same reason you don't need metrics in a 5-person startup. Management is close to the blue team to replace being "close" to thousands of people, and because management is close to the blue team, can judge their output without needing a formal metric.

Maybe if you had an organization that was big enough to require several blue teams (a military or government?), then you'd need a metric for blue teams. Such a metric would probably compare the sub-KPIs of each sub-organization that each blue team was responsible for, including metrics on customer satisfaction, and warrant investigation if the metrics went under.

The blue teams can't really game that metric without the entire organization falling over, and if that happened, the executives would be to blame, not the blue team.
And yet every manager I have ever had asks me not to discuss salary with other co-workers to prevent them from getting jealous. Usually in the same discussion where they tell me I am the highest paid one.

This is usually a few weeks before I have an offer for 40% more.

I think they lie because they know they are going to lose me anyways so it's a gambit with a low probability of success, but no additional penalty for failure.
My wife works too, but not at home, so...

It was cool during school breaks to have my older kids at home. Cool during lunch. Not so cool when I had to break up disagreements.

It didn't get really bad for me until I'd been at home 5 or 6 years.
