SEEKING WORK | US | Remote | (Flexible availability)

============================================================

Ex-Google, Ex-Amazon software engineer with experience at various other enterprise-scale companies. Looking to help companies build and scale their products with robust operational resiliency, either as a core-contributor or part-time CTO.

-- Python / NodeJS / Rust / Go --

Differentiators - I specialize in helping small to medium startups improve their development and release processes, and fortify their operational resiliency. This may take many forms, from straightforward improvements to CI/CD and testing, to more sweeping architectural changes aimed at pre-empting scale and cost complications. I have not seen every problem (nor do I believe I’ve seen most of them), but from a broad set of experiences and deep research in the field of software system design, my clients enjoy immediate and lasting impact towards their company’s goals. When I encounter something that is orthogonal to my experience, I draw from my diverse network of industry experts as an investment in MY business, at no cost to my clients. I bill for my time solving client problems, not learning new skills, and as a consequence only accept work when I believe there’s a good fit.

I have a passion for - building data-intensive applications. I enjoy speccing out larger architectural migrations for existing software or designing backends to leverage workload-optimized datastores for the unique demands of different components of a distributed system. I also thrive at getting the most performance out of monolithic storage systems when optimizing more for developer ease. Though the bulk of my services are typically done entirely asynchronously, I enjoy being available for collaboration and mentorship when it can benefit my clients and their teams.

For recent clients - I’ve been working on importing cloud resources into infrastructure as code, building custom development/testing frameworks, creating dynamic templates for code generation, building out initial CI/CD, enforcing coding standards, setting up change management processes, and migrating resources into a multi-account AWS Organization per the AWS SRA specification. All of my projects are left with exceptional amounts of FAANG-inspired documentation (both for continued development and maintenance). I treat each piece of work as I’d want it handed off to me.

Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) | Staff Software Engineer | Full Time | NYC ONSITE

Apply: https://mo.ma/3Isll0b

We have a really exciting roadmap the next few years and I'm looking for an IC counterpart to help lead and build the future of digital product at one of the world's pre-eminent art institutions. We build the moma.org website and a few other touchpoints for visitors, built using a combination of mostly Go/RoR/JavaScript. There are a lot of interesting technical and product challenges that this role will be key in helping figure out, in addition to the technical challenges of a likely re-platform over the next couple years. It's a very unique opportunity particularly if you love art.

Must be located in (or willing to relocate to) the NYC area as we do work at the museum 2-3 days a week. Salary range is $130K-150K USD, and unfortunately no visa sponsorship available. Apply here: https://mo.ma/3Isll0b
Location: Detroit, MI

Willing to relocate: no

Technologies: Embedded systems, automotive, machine learning, signal processing, data science, real time computing, safety processes (MISRA, ISO26262, etc), MATLAB, FPGA.

Resume: LinkedIn -- https://www.linkedin.com/in/wcunning

Email: wdocunningham@gmail.com

Background: Masters in control theory and signal processing, working in the auto industry for the last 7 years, first on low level powertrain software then the last year or so on LIDAR/computer vision for autonomous vehicles. I've done the most work in C, but I'm now getting up to speed on python and the computer vision/numpy/data processing pipeline stack there for data quality/perception work, along with Linux desktop application architecting and development for AV utilities. Recently had to read the Linux kernel source and use the BCC tool suite to find a subtle issue in the network stack causing high latency on sensor data for AV, also coincidentally fixed most of the network timing infrastructure.

Currently working on some eBPF/BCC tools to improve GPU compute latency diagnosis and optimize model runs, with a plan to open source the results in a couple months.

Primary skills include hard real time embedded systems, safety critical applications, firmware development, system integration and complex hardware/software interaction debugging, along with detailed data analysis problems.

Side interests include machining, 3D printing, embedded system development, coffee roasting and furniture making.

Ok, stealing is wrong. But you're taking a narrow view of theft. Amazon is "stealing" from the entire planet in the form of labor and resource exploitation. Stealing merchandise from Amazon can be seen as a form of self defense by the almost-powerless common person.

You don't think Amazon is doing anything unethical? Why, because everything it's doing is legal? Laws are not 1:1 with morals or ethics, that's why they change. But uh, I also feel the need to point out that Amazon does not operate according to the law any more than it can get away with[1]. So if breaking the law to steal value from thousands of employees/customers is ok, but breaking the law to steal one copy of a game is not... that's not a system of morality I want to live in.

FitXR is only $10/month, and it has been my go to for a few years now. It was even cheaper when they just sold the app without a subscription, I have the option to revert to that as well if I stop buying the subscription (an option not available anymore).
Well, the majority of people don’t actually do that anyway. But yes that’s probably a factor. Then again, I didn’t really want to see anyone I knew in high school again by the time I graduated and I don’t feel that much different now. Being able to start over is a luxury.
Someday, maybe we'll figure out that maybe age-old institutions -- marriages, families, churches, communities, nations -- have irreplaceable roles for the well-being of humanity.
The only relevant part of the article is the quote from the Council of Chalcedon:

> Following the holy Fathers, we unanimously teach and confess one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ: the same perfect in divinity and perfect in humanity, the same truly God and truly man, composed of rational soul and body; consubstantial with the Father as to his divinity and consubstantial with us as to his humanity; "like us in all things but sin". He was begotten from the Father before all ages as to his divinity and in these last days, for us and for our salvation, was born as to his humanity of the virgin Mary, the Mother of God.

This is one such stark delineation. All Catholics are required to be inside it.
We've been unwilling to eliminate drunk driving. Breathalyzer ignition lock? Problem solved. Self-driving cars are an extremely poor solution (complexity and cost) to solve this simple problem. People have fought tooth and nail to enable drunk driving - and they've won. Just like they're fighting and winning for mass shootings. Even so, drunk drivers are largely predictable. People know when it's not a good time to be on the streets.

I've been a software engineer for over a decade who's become more interested in the engineering leadership/mentorship side of the career. My last position was an Engineering Manager in Omada Health and I left that role in December, 2022 for personal reasons and to take some time off. I'm now refreshed and am raring to get back to building great services that improves peoples' lives.

I'm interested in Engineering Management positions. I have a preference towards the health and education sector, and prefer small to medium sized companies. If this lines up with what you're looking for or you want to learn more, shoot me an email and let's chat!
It's a shame that distcc and ccache aren't more well known. Ccache, in particular, saved me probably years worth of compile time working with Qt.
Thrill of the fight requires lots of space though. Beat Saber and Fit XR (and most other rythym games) can be done in place.
Technically though, isn’t memory safety not necessary in some cases?

For example, single player video games. You can exploit your own machine if you want, but that’s not an issue.

I like rust, but if I ran into async issues and annoying stuff, I could see a world where I grab a non-memory safe language to make games easily.
While much of this is true- and I speak from some personal experience, here- the article also takes an unnecessarily critical tone, as if these challenges somehow invalidate the ideas behind the digital nomad lifestyle.

There's no rule that the nomad life has to be permanent, and I don't know of anybody who went into it thinking that it would be permanent (myself included).

It's very useful as a breath of fresh air, a respite, and a chance to shake up one's life in positive, meaningful ways. In many ways, it's useful to think of the nomad life like a multi-year vacation, and oh by the way, when you do decide to "go home," you have many more options for defining where and what "home" is than you might have considered possible before. I think some folks who have _only_ ever lived a settled life might be a bit blind to those nuances.
What you really want for logic puzzles is a SAT or SMT solver as it gets the same results as exhaustive search except it usually can eliminate large amounts of the search space. A language like Prolog superficially looks like it can solve logic puzzles natively but the search strategy is usually too limited.
Any sort of performance engineering will likely require competence with assembly, although direct programming in assembly may be relatively rare in such roles.
I want to maintain these friendships and relationships but after a point, I’m tired of being the first one to reach out all the time, the one word replies, and all the anxiety surrounding their very late replies. There is no such thing as busy, the average American checks their phone 96 times a day. If they want you, they’ll make time for you. It’s heartbreaking when it goes to this from a point where we’d talk for hours. It’s clear they no longer value the friendship and have moved on. Relationships need active effort from both sides to maintain, it’s over the moment one loses interest in maintaining it
I'm honestly surprised there isn't already a VR frontend for Steam that works just like your second example. Valve love upselling on virtual items like profile pictures, backgrounds, trading cards, emotes, so a virtual bedroom full of virtual consoles and virtual doodads that you can show off to other users seems like it'd pay for itself. And they already have a VR team.
Do I not know how to write CSS? Why is someone else's opinionated GUI generating CSS for me adding value?

Devs aren't cheap, tools like this are useless. "Don't write code - use our GUI!" has been a winning proposition almost never.

Those sidesteppings are outlawed by the Chrome Web Store policies.

I think the comparison doesn't work because the composition of the teams doesn't change based on character choice. The interplay of the characters, and inherent strengths and weaknesses of each one create a dynamic metagame that games like MOBAs and Overwatch change to keep things fresh.

For games like Rocket League, CSGO, Overwatch, Apex, etc. The teams are even no matter what (skill aside). Meta still exists however, as anyone who has played multiple years of any of these games sees. Expected attacks, combos, and preferred approaches change over time as people discover weaknesses to the existing metagame and exploit them.

Not to say Rocket League has vastly changed in the last 8 years (I've played for 5 of them), but it's definitely different and a little updated.

Edit: Not to mention Rocket League rotates special game modes regularly for this purpose as well.
I think some people set their expectations like it's a $60 + battlepasses live service game instead of a $40 game that got a complete release and had no plans for future content.

If you're looking for a long-lived multiplayer game, probably not. If you're just excited to sit in an X-Wing cockpit and blow up some TIE fighters then it's really great in VR.
> In the absence of solid evidence for the existence of a thing, assuming its nonexistence is the logical position.

I disagree very strongly both with this statement, and the idea that there is no evidence we can create AGI. Absence of evidence is not the same thing as evidence of absence.

It would make sense to be skeptical if people were asserting the existence of something for which we have very strong prior beliefs that this thing does not exist. To say that there's an enormous green monster hiding on the back side of Jupiter, for example. Until we've looked at the back of Jupiter, we have no idea what's there, but why would it be enormous, and green? To say that there's life on Jupiter, that's a tougher one -- we could say that we are not sure, but based on our understanding of Jupiter's atmosphere, we think it's unlikely. If we did not know what Jupiter was made of, it would be perfectly reasonable to assume that it might host some sort of life. It would be wrong to assume that because we have no evidence of life there, that there is no life. If we had carefully inspected thousands of planets and never found life, it would be much more reasonable to assume there is no life on Jupiter. This is the whole idea of Bayesian reasoning.

But with AGI, it's not like we're searching the universe to see if it exists. There are a ton of smart people actively TRYING TO CREATE IT. The evidence that AGI will happen is what people have already accomplished. We've got goalposts on rails, we've been moving them so much. An AI that understands language, and can respond with perfect grammar, has a theory of mind comparable to a 9-year old, is already mind-blowing, sci-fi tech. And OpenAI is claiming that they have not reached the limit of scalability with bigger models yet. The models we see aren't even the smartest ones -- they're the ones that have been neutered by fine-tuning to be less offensive and less likely to give out dangerous info.

To claim that AGI will not happen, you need some very strong evidence that the people actively trying to create it, who believe they can create it, and who have had some massive successes up until this point, will fail. To assume that it won't be created because we haven't seen it yet, doesn't make any sense at all.
I agree entirely. Relying on a package manager in order for a language to be useful indicates to me that there's a deficiency in the language.
While I’m sure this is charming to some the thought fills me with despair. Horses for courses I guess.
''Fiddle'' is a very derogatory old term in English slang that is related to pederasty. Listen to The Who's Uncle Ernie for a more modern example.

If you haven't already done so, please file a formal safety defect complaint with the NHTSA with details on that bridge incident. Once the regulators receive enough similar complaints they will open a formal investigation and potentially issue a recall.

They might be a Google employee, and I have no issues with Romanians, but if they cared about the support experience they should have placed me with a rep that has much better timezone overlap.

That's the way with about any real leap in productivity applications. About every time you add "smart" to something, you take from skilled domain experts.

Just think of when Photoshop 4.0 added layers and now composing was for everyone, not just for those venturing into channel operations… (To be fair, here, things got much easier even for those who managed previously without this.)
If you ever wanted to feel like you're flying in an X-Wing, it's pretty incredible. I play for a couple hours at a time with a basic joystick, a Lenovo Explorer headset, and an Nvidia 1070. I'd like a bit stronger of a graphics card but it's still very clear and sharp. All the control screens in the cockpit are quite large and easy to understand, not a lot of tiny numbers to squint at.
This is a very interesting comment, I'm curious to know if there is a story behind what you've shared. Also, to offer something: you mentioned walking has the constraint of development, I've been exploring(and loving) a practice of taking voice notes while walking as a form of development.
Looking at the number of high school graduates passing physics exam each year in my country (around 250 out of ~12 thousand total high school graduates), I'm pretty sure corporations won't even have to break a sweat.
Just looked at Odin and I really like the syntax, but I feel the same way. I feel like the community and ecosystem is the key elements and zig seems to be headed in the direction to grab that.
Thank you, I learned about a few new tools and techniques today.

Some games give me that experience:

1. Thrill of the Fight. Boxing standing up throwing fists and blocking with precision just doesn’t exist with controllers.

2. Blaston believe it or not. I really enjoyed hiding behind barriers dodging shots and leaping out to grab power ups.

3. The table tennis game. Swinging my arm like a real paddle was so realistic and the shots are just not reproducible with such precision.

4. Golf with the cut down iron shaft. Again, the fidelity of the shots just isn’t possible otherwise. You can get the same thing at some sports bars but it costs way more :)

For Indians I doubt that there is a major difference really in how they are treated as IT workers or as digital nomads.

"I work in the IT industry"

"That is such a normal thing!"
They don’t appear to have said anything other than it’s coming and better than the Meta Quest 2 (duh).

I hate the trend of pre-announcements too. It’s one of the things I like about Apple (though the rumor mill does it for them).

Even worse is the trend of announcing announcements. It’s been in politics for a while (“Today candidate Smith announced he will announce he’s running for President on the 12th.”), but we’re starting to see it with announcements for when details will be given about upcoming games, which is basically the same thing.
> I want to iterate on that thought a little further: Is this an effect that was caused by shitty tooling?

Not shitty tooling per se, but ineffective communication, which can limit the actionability or requires context switches on the operators side. MITREs ATT&CK framework is helping solve some of these symptoms by tying things back to tactics/techniques and a common taxonomy, but there is still a long way to go.

> With the peer-to-peer approach of our Agent, we can mitigate most of the critical issues automatically, and the deployment and rollout/update strategies are also measured in whether or not they affected the health status

Most companies are trying to have less agents on their boxes, not add more. Tools that are agentless tend to have much greater chances of success, even if that means having a more complex architecture.

eBPF + SSH configuration of for example a local log system or even pushing a collector/broker can be your best bet.

You want to avoid an agent when selling to security people for 2 big reasons:

1) most of the time, security teams will not own the systems they want to put agents on, they have to get permission from the app/service owners and many times there is significant pushback. Many, if not most orgs have been burned by "just deploy this agent, there isn't a performance impact".

2) when you don't own the systems, you can increase the sales cycle and complexity of the sale, since you now are effectively requiring multiple groups to agree on something and agree that this is a priority. If there is disagreement, you can get vetoed by a group that wouldn't even be responsible for it.

I am 100% not telling you that agents are impossible, but in most enterprises, it will be more difficult than you think to get it deployed. It might take what is normally a 3 month proof of concept to something that is 6 or 12 months, or could kill it before even starting.
I don't understand, TOTK hasn't come out yet, it's not out until 20 June .. which coincidentally is the day after my eldest finishes his exams!!
