Thank you! This is a great resource. One thing I will mention is that I am looking for something three days a week so that I can continue working on my computer vision learning/experimentation. I'm not sure how many jobs are like that really.
Another thing which is not necessarily very relevant probably but confusing to me. I see a lot of IaaS or SaaS, companies that are doing things like Wordpress in containers for example. And then there are icons all over the world, which presumably represent programming jobs? Or if not programming, highly technical.
Its hard for me to understand why it takes 30+ programmers to build and maintain software related to WordPress in containers, or many of these other businesses. I can definitely understand 5, or maybe even 10. But 20,30,40? Are some of these cities representing support roles, like customer service?
- whiddershins 6y agoI would hire a three day a week developer if they were otherwise what I am looking for. And we are currently hiring. What kind of work do you want to do?
- ilaksh 6y agoIdeally related to machine learning or computer vision, as long as I can keep ownership of my own projects separate. Otherwise I have a little bit of recent experience with Python, AWS and data analysis, and that area might be my second choice. My third choice would probably be something using JavaScript, Reason or BuckleScript, since I have focused the last several years on JavaScript mainly in the back end and before that mainly on the front end. And although TypeScript is fine, my preference would be to have type inference and the few projects I have done with Ocaml have been enjoyable. I also have some projects over the years with C++, such as Vintage Simulator (programmable emulator frontend), but my C++ has remained pretty basic over time, and due to numerous pitfalls in the language, I would almost prefer to learn Rust (despite my distate for the poor ergonomics that plagued it early on). You can contact me at runvnc@gmail.com if you want to discuss anything.
- UncleOxidant 6y agoI'm also looking for part-time development work. What kinds of positions are you currently hiring for that would be amenable to 3-day/week work?
- whiddershins 6y agoAnything up or down the web stack is possible. Front end dev, postgres, time series database, node, data visualization ... there’s much to be done over here especially over the next six months. Feel free to point me to links or an email if you are interested.
