I'm starting a new job. Full-time remote, so I'm very excited (even ordered a Herman Miller, so my back is equally excited)! I'll also be working in Elixir + React, so both two technologies I'm very interested in.
I typically assign myself two large projects a year to delve deep into to topics I'm ignorant in, so I'm going to attempt to build two low-level networking services. One is a TOR router and the other is a userland TCP/IP stack--I'm crazy excited to send a successful request to google.
- leetbulb 9y agoHave fun! If it's your first time full-time remote, please invest some time in to researching and optimizing your time management and work-life balance techniques and habits. Working remote for over six years now and the first couple of years were very rough for me because I let everything consume my life. If you need any advice, feel free to hit me up @gmail :)
- jonnycoder 9y agoHow did you get your remote job?
- ianleeclark 9y agoSaw their post on weworkremotely or remoteok, applied, and interviewed :) I have a few non-trivial open source projects (a torrent tracker and a distributed key-value store) and two small side-businesses (one of which is built in Elixir + Phoenix and the other went under a rewrite to that stack). Showing that I can ship products tends to get me in the door, but a combination of luck, personality, and technical know-how moves me forward in the interview process.
