MuKn | Remote, all timezones | Full-time or contract | https://mukn.io/

Mutual Knowledge Systems, Inc. (aka MuKn, pronounced "moon") is looking to extend its development team. We are building Glow (https://glow-lang.org), an open-source domain-specific language for Decentralized Applications (DApps). Glow simplifies DApp development by offering higher-level abstractions than standard solutions (e.g., Solidity) and a "write once, run on- and off-chain" workflow.

Glow’s metalanguage is Gerbil Scheme (https://cons.io), but we use other languages where necessary, including JavaScript, Haskell, Go, and Rust. In particular, we’re looking for a Rust developer to implement our AVOUM technology (malleable transactions to implement accounts as a monad over UTxOs). We also need generalists that are interested in working on our language compiler and runtime. We are seeking experienced developers who can work mostly autonomously, but know when to ask for help.

Some background in Lisp, Scheme, or a purely functional language would be helpful, but is not required; experience with language design and implementation is also a plus. Other relevant domains include: blockchains, smart contract technologies (e.g., the EVM and also (E)UTxO models), compilers (esp. LLVM), distributed systems, cryptographic protocols, information security, economic modelling, game theory, automated theorem proving, and zero-knowledge proofs.

We’re a fully remote team spread across many time zones. We like to keep meetings and policies to a minimum, and expect team members to manage their own time and communications. We have one mandatory weekly meeting, structured as an informal code walk-through and review; this helps keep everyone aware of what the rest of the team is up to and how everything fits together.

Interviews are straightforward: you’ll be asked to talk about and answer questions about code you’ve worked on, and we’ll do the same. No LeetCode, no take-home assignments, etc.

Please send resumes to jobs@mukn.io. Any notable public discussion (on a mailing list, GitHub issue, etc.) where you changed your own mind or someone else’s mind would be great to see, too.
I've started getting very firm with them. I respond to each email with "no thank you, also stop contacting me, also here's the last person I asked to stop contacting me, but who didn't." We'll see how long it works, if at all, but after 3 separate Amazon recruiters contacted me last month I was fed up.

What is sad, is what has happened to the industry, over time.

When I was younger, recruiters would woo you, and would act as your advocate. They would sing your praises (sometimes, with a bit of “embellishment”) to the prospective employer.

They also made quite a bit of money.

I suspect that outfits like monster.com devastated the “concierge” type of recruiter.

Also, there were contractor specialists. They acted almost exactly like talent agents, getting a commission, whenever they successfully found a contract for their clients. I dealt with a number of them (as an employer) over the years.

I think the “agents” are a thing of the past. Not exactly sure what killed them.

These days, everybody, in every profession, is obsessed with scale. Lots of small numbers, as opposed to a few big ones.

I assume that “self-service” sites have accelerated that transition.

If anyone ever saw the movie Jerry Maguire, it sort of laments the same kind of metamorphosis, in the sports agent field.

I have been rather shocked at the uncouth behavior that has been directed my way, by recruiters. I’ve been told that it’s because I’m older. They haven’t done or said anything to dissuade me from that point of view.

Dealing with today’s recruiters was one of a number of reasons that I threw in the towel on looking for work, and just accepted that I’m in early retirement.

In any case, I am sad to see the change, but folks seem OK with the state of the industry, so I guess that it’s really just sour grapes, on my part.

I'm a web developer and I'm currently writing a book about game development in the web. The book is still a work in progress (it likely will never be "complete"), but it's quite usable and soon I'll be able to demonstrate small games with the currently existing chapters. The link is here:

https://suldashi.github.io/gamebook/

I'm looking for someone to try it out, give some feedback, and possibly even write a game by following along the instructions. The target reader is a somewhat experienced programmer (such as a close-to-graduation CS student) who won't need to be told what's a function or class, but you don't need to know anything about game development to make use of the book.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I will definitely go through this.
I'd bet it's more likely o become somebody's office, like the folks who set up shop all day in the phone booths
This is a common problem when working at large companies. Most of the time, the job is no fun. I think one of the reason we are paid so much is that at large companies, we need to do a lot of things. We need to navigate multiple services, communicate to different stakeholders, wait long time for approvals, check with the legal team for compliance when releasing a new product, check with other teams before doing a deployment on a service with multiple dependencies, etc. Coding is just a minor part.
No, it didn’t. You may choose to follow old traditions that don’t make sense any more, but that is something you choose. There are very few jobs today where physical strength make a difference, and before the industrial revolution the fathers were mostly at home and played important parts in raising the children.

I do not understand.

Do you know how large 50000 bacteria side to side are? I don't. I can compute the number but these are neither scales nor magnitudes I am used to.

300,000 km seems to be large but I do not know how much. About 10 times the perimeter of our planet. But this does not say much either.

But when you say "five people in a room, and then two joined" you have no problems processing the numbers.

A person who is referred (especially in SWE) doesn't automatically mean they'll get the job, they'll still have to pass checks from members who may have never even interacted with the referrer. The advantage lies in the fact that it means their resume/cover gets reviewed while the 200th applicant doesn't. The reality is companies get tons of applicants and on paper most of them might be qualified.
I love city energy. Just have to opt out of the pollution. The automotive exhaust alone is rediculous (as a truck rolls coal in front of my house).

I'm glad you brought up Dijkstra. He's famous (amongst many other things) for coining the phrase/concept "separation of concerns". He considered this to be a fundamental principle in software engineering, giving the field of programming more structure as you allude to in your comment.

But that SoC concept is fairly endemic in a field of folks who self-identify as "developers". The MVC/MVVM craze of the late 2000s and early 2010s had this plastered on every blog. You can call the self-identification mismatch a taxonomy issue, but my original comment is trying to deduce why that distinction matters at all in practice if developers are embracing concepts that we would consider "proper" software engineering.

I suspect the distinction is just noise at this point.

I've noticed a LOT of discussion on HN around this theme in the past week -- that so much trouble happens when people disagree on what words mean and refuse to be more specific. This is a good example of one way this kind of thing starts, which is that someone tries to dictate the meanings of words and categories to advantage of their own beliefs relative to the beliefs they oppose. You see this everywhere from politics to business to debates over whether hot dogs count as sandwiches or not.
My suggestion would be for people to stop honking out of impatience. If there's an actual issue, honk. Someone not moving as quickly or dangerously as you'd like isn't an excuse to honk.

Tl;dr, yes.

My parents did this when I was a kid, except they moved deep into the country and not a homestead.

Their motivation was that I had the potential to become a bit of a punk in middle school, and the middle school i would go to in NYC was… not so good. It seemed more affordable and a better life than a private school or moving intra-NYC.

One of my best friends did something similar. I remember his dad saying when we were graduating high school “I built this house looking for a sanctuary, and it turned into a prison.”

I didn’t hate country life, but I never felt like i belonged either. My friends were into hunting, 4-wheelers, etc, and I was not. Most of the people who lived in my town had been there for many generations and had deep ties to the place — the farmer I worked for was like a 7th generation farmer whose deed was signed by a Dutch West India company agent of some sort.

I didn’t have that, and all things considered, I didn’t really belong to that community. I now live in a small city not too far away, but my family is part of that community, which is something my wife and I wanted.

I’d encourage you to look within and figure out what you want. It may or may not be living in the woods, and your feelings right now may not really be about the house.

I don't want to deal with that multiple times a day, though. They're not "nice people" when they disregard the only thing written in my Linkedin profile: "please no unsolicited calls". If they didn't even bother to read that single sentence, they probably know nothing about me and have nothing to offer. It's arrogant of them to waste my time.

Command economy of goods/services/financial instruments leads to inefficient markets.

In systems where currency is subject to command economy (perhaps because it is in control by a minority of elected or unelected officials, who have a monopoly of control of the entirety of a national currency), it could result in additive inefficiencies to the entire market if the market is predicated on using that currency in trade. In general industries that are both a monopoly and centrally planned by governance yield sub-optimal results.

Some people generally realize this when considering other goods, services, and financial instruments but oddly there are a number of those same people who fail to consider applying this also to currency.

Yes, it's interesting to see how many people here are 100% against 3rd party recruiters rather than recognizing there are those good and bad at their job - just like anything else.
