CV: Available on request

Email: whoishiring@michaelwilliamson.co.uk

I've worked for the last 12 years as a full stack web developer. That includes building backends, frontends, APIs, data ingestion tools, infrastructure in AWS.

I've worked in various domains, such as education and biotech. I'd like to contribute to something that improves the world in some way. That might be the obvious stuff like helping students learn or finding treatments for cancer, or it might be something less glamorous like working on database technologies. It probably isn't working on blockchain or in fintech.

I enjoy working in cross functional teams: that is, I like teams that have all the skills needed to consistently deliver business value, whether that's typical software roles like developers and designers, or something more domain-specific such as pharmacologists.

If you're just looking for someone to pick up tickets and churn out code, I'm probably not a good fit. I'm interested in the wider team and company goals and strategy, and would like to work in a team where everyone can contribute to product thinking, rather than (for instance) having a product manager that writes all of the tickets. In the past, I've built internal tools and worked with the domain experts that use the tools to work out what problem to solve next, and what the next most valuable increment to build would be.

I'm also interested in how people and teams collaborate. For instance, in my experience, meetings are often unstructured chatting, or have one or a small number do the vast majority of the talking. This means that many people don't meaningfully contribute -- frustrating for them, and a loss to the group as a whole -- and decisions aren't made, aren't clear, aren't understood, or aren't widely supported. I've successfully used techniques such as those in the Gamestorming book and Liberating Structures to add structure that allows everyone to contribute, for a range of options to be discussed and considered, while reaching a clear decision at the end.

I've tended to work in smaller organisations since much of the above tends to happen naturally in those circumstances, but I'd be open to working anywhere that's a good fit and treats its people as more than fungible units of resource production.

I'm sorry. I imagine that limits you in many ways, since dairy and eggs are ubiquitous in western cooking.

Stir-fry meat and vegetables can be quite tasty and quick to prepare.

Something like mustard greens or gai lan[0] can be shredded by hand in a few moments and/or cut up almost as quickly.

Mushrooms (whole if you're in a rush, or sliced -- that only takes a minute or so), tofu (i prefer firm tofu), are also quite nice for such a dish.

And you can grill your meat/fish/poultry and saute your vegetables too.

Fresh fruit is also quite tasty.

I guess my point is that one can make tasty, healthful food quickly and easily, even if you have dietary restrictions.

In fact, those with dietary restrictions are likely better off cooking than eating prepared/pre-processed foods, as you don't have any insight/control over the kitchen/factory in which those foods are prepared.

Not telling you what to do, just sharing my experiences. I hope you find them useful.

My method is using private browsing to open addicting websites. This way their address will not be saved in history and I'll have to type it which sometimes stop me from doing that in mid-way. Also helps with automatically logging out.

If you are not sophisticated enough to take a short position, you are probably not sophisticated enough to buy a specific equity. This is true of essentially everyone who does not invest professionally, including myself.

Honest question: what is wrong with Essential Scrum?
Why AI and machine learning are drifting away from the cloud
I think there is a kernel of truth here in that I feel there is a lack of healthy male role models and there is a lack of support for mental health for men. Women also have their difficulties, but society is, in my perception, overall, much more supportive for female problems than male problems. In this aspect, I get where the manosfere is coming from. But I think _a lot_ of these communities come at this from a wrong direction.

I will agree that "Jumping on the LGBTQ train gives them some protection and upward social-political trajectory." is kiiiind of hilarious. Just the kind of talking points that unhealthy communities make you believe.

I never said that any kind of parenting method is guaranteed to achieve the results you want. My kids still aren't into certain foods and won't eat them, but it's not like they actively hate those foods, and I'm not setting thems up for avoiding those foods entirely in the future. It's a general concept that I am sure we will find ourselves employing throughout their lives, even as adults - build and maintain a strong foundation upon which they can grow on their terms.

The crux of my point was to highlight that parenting is never as simplistic as the previous comment ("All ya have to do is tell them to eat or go hungry!") may have made it sound, not to suggest that you can mold your children exactly as you would like.

Edit: And your point about some kids being pickier than others is actually exactly my point. That's why I said it's not easy - it has taken a lot of time and patience for us to get our children to this point. I've heard stories of parents struggling for over a year or more to get a kid to break certain eating habits. It's not just picky eating, though - correcting various aspects of a child's personality requires a LOT of time and attention, often over the course of years. That's why I took an issue with OP brushing it off so casually.
sERIOUS question: Is there a method for testing a site that defines how much JS heavy FEs are?

---

I have noticed a significant issue with speed on sites after upgrading my main machines, but dont know how to judge if its local or remote.

I have a flagshit HP gaming machine, with the best laptop nvidia card on the market....

windows 11 (with a sister machine of same specs with linux)

Ryzen 5K RTX 3070 blah blah...

But the load times on these "gaming centric" machines are way slower than older, les spec'd machines...

I cant tell where my bottle-neck is.

How test this specific, in your opinion?
it's funny because you can make the same arguments against freshly brazed lead connections on copper pipes. And those "low lead fixtures" aren't lead-free.
outside of the one required for docker desktop no.
But that supports the point OP made above. Each generation of Lenovo laptop changes out lots of parts (presumably based on changing prices and supply contracts). Apple laptop hardware tends to be stable over time.
> Basically, are they "well-adjusted"?

was a terrible choice of words on my part, but I can't edit now. What I mean here by "well-adjusted" has nothing to do with "appears functional from the outside". I mean "they appear functional and actually are and didn't have to contort themselves to do so".

Does the patient self-medicate with nonmedical stimulants/stimulation? (caffeine, nicotine, other drugs, adrenaline junkie)? Did they have to struggle and claw to overcome executive issues and get some semblance of normalcy? Did they find a particular niche/trade where they can be successful? Do they succeed on the outside but feel burned out constantly inside? Those are not the folks I'm talking about. I'm saying folks who didn't need to go way out of their way to adapt in order to achieve an outward sense of normalcy.

My father is one of the least-ADHD people I know. His life wasn't easy by any means (grew up very poor, had to work his way through high school and college), but also he didn't have any of the kind of turmoil growing up that I see in myself and each and every neurodivergent person I know.
Apple has a full order of magnitude fewer iPhone users than Gmail accounts. I'm pretty sure, unless I have misunderstood, that acquiring an iCloud email account requires ownership of a physical Apple device... If you're suggesting we should back-stop this problem of marginalized users losing access to Gmail by subsidizing the homeless or elderly to own iPhones, I don't think it will work.

Amazon is similarly an order of magnitude fewer users than Gmail accounts (and tends to address this issue by pushing the hard-to-address auth problems onto the seller... There are known exploits for just pushing exorbitant costs onto the seller via buyer fraud). Amazon has a couple hundred million customers... Gmail is in the billions.

I am, perhaps, just simply old enough to remember when not everyone could have a Gmail account. Low touch customer service that works 99 plus percent of the time was necessary to open the floodgates for free. I have never seen a practical explanation of how to scale providing the service otherwise. There's room for improvement, but (a) every simplification of authentication must be balanced against how it can be abused to steal accounts, and (b) I cannot conceive of a solution that would rival high touch customer service, and that scales to the billions. If one exists, I look forward to being extremely pleasantly surprised (having myself been on the receiving end of losing my phone while away from home for an important event: yes, it really sucks, Google's trust model is they trust you zero without some corroboration if all you show up with is the password). But I've watched them hammer at the problem long enough to suspect it's uncrackable at the billions-scale.

I see what you mean by "semantic support" now. Fair enough that 1..n is an iterator, however it's not an iterator over the array we're manipulating.

As for the while loop "torturing the poor language" - that's you injecting some preference. It's perfectly valid rust, and there's plenty of situations that look close to what I wrote (albeit my example was distilling down those cases to the core) and which aren't easily achievable without contortion to get everything into an iterator.

Don't get me wrong - I really like iterators. Sometimes though, iterators add obfuscation, particularly after the 5th or 6th chained iterator method.
I remember seeing an interview with Lee Kuan Yew and the idea of our 1st amendment rights were brought up and Mr. Yew began to laugh.
This is not Google's concern.

jars: the good parts
Kind of depends. It's more sterile. Dubai you get the impression they generally care about you having a good time, at least if you're Western. Singapore they care about you looking like you're having a good time. Singapore doesn't have the de facto slavery problem of the Emirates, though. Food is definitely better in Dubai.
> but dev's dont need to know k8s

If somebody else on the team already knows k8s. The problem is a lot of places just give devs admin access and let them go hog wild. If devs don't know k8s they can't make significant changes without waiting for the one guy who knows k8s to do it.

Give a man a k8s, he will deploy for a day. Teach a man to k8s, he will deploy for at least 5 years while the hype cycle continues.

I know your profile says you are not here for NG in an official capacity, but it might not be a bad idea to put your contact info there. Otherwise you might get a lot of replies. I think HN prefers "Who's Hiring" so be lean and clean (and yes, I know this reply is paradoxical).
> It also took 20 minutes for first GPS sync, which was less fun.

This is true in a common base case (LilyGO T-Beam neo6m with stock antenna) but is easily fixed. The stock antennas are absolutely pathetic and something like https://www.mouser.com/c/?q=GP.1575.25.4.A.02 is much much better. The other significant improvement is using a board with a better GPS module, like the M8N version of the T-Beam.
That's a huge amount of working capital at Ford! Wow.
I recently hit the same wall of finding good, freely-available dictionary data. My family and I like to play Quiddler here and there(where you get cards and build words with them) and I wanted to make a Quiddler solver that would take your hand/top card in discard and would give you a list of the best combination of words by total points, by word length with points as a sub sort, and by number of words with points as a sub sort. I found multiple sources of JSON data with inconsistent formatting or missing information. I mainly wanted the list of words and what the word type of each definition was so I could quickly filter out words that didn't have a whitelisted type. I ended up settling with just a Scrabble dictionary which was a list of strings and manually removing words here and there as they came up if they didn't belong. Understandable that the big names in dictionaries spent a lot of resources getting to where they are. That said, it's hard to believe something as fundamental as a record of our language doesn't have an open source and well-organized dataset accessible by API or download.
Ask HN: How to make money as an Open Source Developer or make it your career
This is very important. I'm rather averse to signing up for paid service which is only limited by the option I provide for payments. It took me years to be willing to put a service on autopay which is merely variable, such as a power bill.
It's also a matter of efficiency. I can spend more time on projects that matter instead of on system administration. The people doing the system administration are more efficient since they don't need to spend extra time figuring out what to do. It's not a matter of being smart enough to do it, but instead it's a matter of time efficiency.

I would very strongly guess that, these days, around these American english-speaking parts, the idiomatic definitions, i.e. contrary to acceptable or moral behavior, or impossible seeming or unlikely circumstances, e.g. "murder goes against the laws of nature," also "surviving a plane crash defies the laws of nature," are perhaps exponentially more popular, because a percentage of song lyrical hooks will often describe examples of this use of the phrase, what goes up must come down, and so on and so forth, but I must concede I was unaware of its use conversely in the literal sense. But I don't get out much and feel I have read enough boring stuff, more so, I feel a little victimized for probably wasting significant portions of the best years of my life reading material concerned with boring topics by dedicated and qualified but excessively boring writers. There are exceptions, of course, the usual suspects, the great writers.
Market cap isn't saying what the 'company' is worth. It's a measure of the equity portion of the ownership of the company. It excludes the debt portion of the ownership.

Right now GM has an enterprise value of $130B. That means it's expected to spit out $130B of cash over its lifetime (discounted to a present day value). But the market cap is only $50B. Meaning $80B of that future cash will go to GM's lenders.

It of course feels super counter-intuitive to add debt (which feels like it should be a negative) to the valuation. But I always felt the house analogy gives an intuitive everyday example.

You're standing on many legs there: no comparison between the Asia of Taiwan and your other examples. Korea was very much a draw, and China has demonstrated complete inability to make the North into anything ressembling success. Hong Kong is on the Mainland. Taiwan will be able to defend itself "on-its-own" just like Ukraine os doing. And if/when conquered will be a worthless husk.
> pesticides, oil, gasoline, and benzene can permeate through PEX pipe

The lifespan of plastic pipe designed to be carrying water (ie: non-polar) exposed to these polar solvents has gotta be terrible.

(Since like-dissolves-like, you want your water pipes to be made of a polar material so that water doesn't dissolve it).
Looks great! Is there a company (e.g., LLC) behind this? I don't see any information about it in the Imprint section.
That's fascinating. I spent a few days in Singapore on business in early 2002, and while my impression wasn't quite so bleaks as described in the article, my main impression was that parts of it were very much like something out of the World Showcase at Disney World.
The timing aspect is still brutal, though. Market can stay irrational for a very long time, and prove you totally right but totally broke if it waits until after your puts expire.
When it comes to HN, I definitely have mixed feelings about the procrastination aspect. Yet I am unwilling to drop it since there are stories that I am genuinely interested in and make life better. So it is a net positive in my books.
VPD | Remote | UK | Full-time | Full Stack Engineer | £70,000 - £90,000+
We’re a well-funded scaleup (no VC money) with big plans to revolutionise legal pricing: our software aims to bring an end to law firms overcharging clients, arbitrary pricing, and other bad practices that have existed for years.

Our two directors are recognised world authorities in this domain, and bring a number of signed firms ready to use our software. We've successfully onboarded one of the world's largest legal teams and we're now busy deploying to some of the top law firms, in the UK and abroad.

Our fully-remote dev team is small, and therefore you’ll have a lot of opportunity to make a noticeable impact, especially given the extremely flat hierarchy.

Our whole team is friendly, down-to-earth, and operates without ego. We think you’ll enjoy working with us, and we’re looking for similarly-minded folks.

The work is varied, challenging, and will be quite evenly split across the front and back end. Because of the need to get scheduled features out, fix bugs, and respond to the needs of newly onboarded firms, we’re looking for a seasoned React pro (hard requirement) who is also comfortable with Node.js, TypeORM (or similar), GraphQL,

A bonus would be if you’ve had any prior experience with Ant Design (our UI framework of choice), Storybook, CircleCI, Heroku, Jira, and any client support ticket work.

In summary, we’re looking for a versatile, full stack developer who (after a short period of learning the ropes on our specific setup) can hit the ground running and contribute to our fast-growing product and team.
