lol toptal
i have a buddy whose got the same amount of experience, but a compsci degree from a small public uni that landed a gig with it. Maybe github stars and some speaking experience make up for it :shrug:
we'll see. if yall are interested and they end up taking me in i can report back on how it goes
I don't think I've ever gotten a reply from online job ads. Not a single one.
Best bet now is to promote yourself on linkedin, connect with non-shady recruiters and use meetup.com to the max
ugh the problem ive had with the one decent recruiter ive worked with is that every role hes gottem me through the interview process for has ended with 'well were actually looking for a senior engineer, not midlevel'. The jobs werent posted publicly and they explicitly said senior engineer once I wised up and asked to actually see them after.
how the fuck do you promote yourself on linkedin? ive honestly never used it. I do get a lot of recruiter spam though. but its all from massive firms with wretched reviews online
has anyone here had luck with whose hiring on HN? or does that fall in the same bag?
also i go to every meetup remotely related to my skillset in columbus, but sadly there are only 2 (3 total. the other is ember.js and ive been to a few and found them lacking)
they do a 'whose hiring' section at the start of both, and lo and behold theyre only all after senior engineers too. seems to be a bit paradoxical lol
22nd century staffing and TEKsystems are the two that are always fucking bothering me (recruiting firms)
Just need to do a crap ton of "politic-ing"
It's weird though, one day, you're going to cross that threshold and then you don't have to deal with the bullshit.
I remember precisely when I hit that point myself.
did you end up going the recruiter route?
but yeah, you might be better off doing your own outreach
thanks

i explored tmate, which is based on tmux but kinda requires less setup
Interesting. I've never had to do much setup for tmux myself. Just fire it up and start a session. Sidenote: Any idea why this build is failing?

just click it and it takes you to the latest failing one. It has been for a few and I havent had time to actually dig in
just remembered we both tried to look at source of gem when it was just a placeholder :-)
also wonder whether if/how this could change volt integration with rails picture, but not sure if I want to go down that rabbit hole again… not sure I don’t though :-)
makes sense, but didn’t know, kind of reduces cost of using celluloid elsewhere in rails now maybe if using cable
oh and relies on redis too
unless thats just the examples
started a few weeks ago, been on the bench/doing odd jobs, but starting first on site client next week
