After writing embedded Rust, loving it, and then losing that job, I've gotta ask what you're up to these days (mostly so I can live vicariously through you). I am dying to write Rust in the embedded space again. :)

Steve works at Oxide Computer and they are hiring. :) https://oxide.computer/careers/software-engineering/ https://oxide.computer/careers/software-engineering/

  TY, probable Moz Rustacean. :hands together emoji: I've been living on savings in self-sabbatical mode while catching-up on life, projects, and reading while keeping current with Rust. I'm soo itching to jump back into workaholism mode.

Oh no! Hope you can get back to it soon. https://oxide.computer/ https://oxide.computer/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23975445 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23975445 is probably the most accessible thing we've talked about publicly with what we're doing. (This talk was what made me decide to apply.) Still early enough the focus is on building the product rather than talking about it to broad audiences like HN.

  Hire me! Jumps-up-and-down over-eagerly like a nerdy new college grad. I'll wave around cheerleading pompoms or aircraft marshaling wands until you do. ; D Excessive, horn-tooting quasi- resume/cover letter in an HN comment (maybe I should've compressed and uuencoded?). Home: Austin downtown, via much of NorCal { Chico, Sacramento, and Bay Area }, from San Jose. Experience with embedded systems on many architectures and different types of RT deadlines, SMT electronics (PCB design and fabrication, stuffing, and repair), Rust (I sure hope so!), C/C++ (autodidacted at 15), LLVM, several assembly languages (ARM, X86, MIPS), microcontrollers, large-scale industrial firmware development (automotive, mining, & agriculture). I periodically throw 3D printing and Arduino or ESP32 at personal use-cases. And trinocular microscope, Siglent scope, and knock-off compatible JBC solder station. The Fluke 289 DMM is real though. Can do everything from sales engineering, on-prem/remote custom client integration, customer training, feature development, tools support, customer bug forensics, subgroup lead SWE, systems architecture/engineering, customer solutions development. Make the office more funner now and then (especially internal funny 404 pages and easter eggs, tape your chair up, orbeez explosion, get your wife/SO and kids in on a gaslighting long-con). 5¢ charge per instance. Wooden nickels not accepted. No refunds. :) Did one or two minor humblebragging things: - Ported a ridiculous nuclear reactor simulator in Fortran from UNIX to Windows. - IBM Almaden offered me a dark matter research assistant job when I was 15, but my parents weren't supportive and it would've been illegal. :Y U No moon meme here: - Wrote a Java-- to native MIPS (non-JIT, compile-time) compiler from scratch with symmetrical implementations in Java and C++. - Refactored the heck out of a UDP 900 MHz packet radio firmware C++ codebase and added telemetry logging with error tolerance of Flash EEPROM wear beyond mfgr specs. - Restoring & modding a VW camper and getting into paramotoring (parachute wing and motor on your back).

    Oh hi neighbor! I also live in downtown Austin. Please apply! We are hiring.

      Heck ya! : D I could work on embedded and datacenter gear for free if I didn't have bills and a spinning circular vinyl noise-makers addiction. Yeah, I've been pining for highly-integrated, hyperscale datacenter metal. Only Fortune 50 corporations and partakers of OEMs/ODMs like Quanta QCT / Dell DCS deliver somewhat okay customized gear, but not a completely-integrated, managed fleet. I remember eGenera BladeFrame, but it's still nothing like a hyperscale, intermodal-container LEGO datacenter solution. Oh hey from I-35 and 5th! Here's your "I probably survived the 2021 ATX Icepocalypse" tie-dyed hoodie with black light effects.

        Hm, we should be! Sorry about that. The aim is to reply to literally everyone. If you wanna email me, I'm happy to look into it. EDIT: I decided to take a look, and it seems like you applied before I joined. My apologies, it must have been a mistake.

        > My apologies, it must have been a mistake. Well that mistake seems to keep repeating itself then. Oxide has been silent even after subsequent contact, and even after this issue has already been raised internally once.

Check out FullStory - I recently left the company but we were looking for an iOS role that would involve a ton of Rust, and embedded systems people were definitely a good fit for that position.
