I have a resume, sorry for the miswording. But my wife values privacy and so isn't comfortable with me just posting it up here on HN willy nilly. And although I am comfortable with it, I feel obligated to respect her wishes.

Wait why is reddit a lost cause?

In the past month I only found less than 10 remote jobs, and I had the skills to apply for about 8 or 9. To me that feels like a very small pool in the first place. And yes the 8 or 9 didn't hire me but that was probably because like s

No, I've sent my resume to them in private. I don't have a public resume available. That's the hardest part for me. I don't have anything I can publicly show off.

Oh also I've made http://affluentconfidante.com/ in Clojure and http://editfight.com/ in Node.js using WebSockets and vanilla JS, each in the span of about a day, within the past 2 weeks. Unfortunately

Yep, and I've applied for pretty much every remote job from the last HN "who's hiring" post. None of them went past the initial interview. What I took from that is that there's not a lot of remote work available rig

Oops, fixed. Page is now public. I've done some d3 for my last job (custom internal reports) but it was painful. I've done real-time stuff through websockets recently ( http://editfight.com/ ). And a little canvas t

Thanks to you for making this and GP for linking to it. Just applied, looking forward to seeing if this works out.

Good idea, thanks. Updated my profile with an email. Don't have resume in order yet. But have done plenty of Clojure, front-end and back-end work, made several iOS/tvOS apps that ship on the App Store. If anything comes from this,

This is pretty neat, thanks! Unfortunately all the [TASK] listings are like super tiny amounts of money. To clarify, I'm talking in the hundreds/low-thousands per project. For example, $200 to make a website that I can probably wh

Randomly chiming in here, but now that I've used Hiccup (in Clojure) for a few years, nothing else seems evenly remotely pleasant to use. Especially when it's hooked up to a good IDE for super-easy key bindings (emacs + paredit fo

Also Win+Arrows moves windows to sides/corners. It can do up to a 2x2 grid. Not full featured but better than nothing.

The review times have gotten better and overall the process of going from "New Project..." to "Ready for Sale" is much smoother than it was 10 years ago when I made my first iPhone OS app. But the market is pretty hard t

I assume the idea is to be able to reuse libraries like Box2d etc where it's mostly concrete code, and that other libraries where it's mostly templates kind of just have to be rewritten.

Imgur has developed a very active community and they have a MINIMUM of $20,000 per "promoted post" (ad). Considering how often I see new ads on there (at least once a month), I'd say they've finally figured out how to ac

Yep. Similar to how we used to write the high performance code in ASM and the business logic in C. Now we write the high performance code in C (or equiv. low-level language) and the high performance code in a slow but expressive dynamic lan

In my experience, this kind of minimalism is great on paper, but in practice if you throw out at least some of that complexity, you also have to rewrite so many things yourself. Sometimes that's a good thing but some features are too c

For one thing, sometimes you can't get it when you need it. In our area, there's an 8 year waiting list on housing assistance.

Most of our local friends work at Walmart, because there's honestly not much other choice for them. Our economy is so broken that the only people who win are people who know how to abuse the system, and who have designed the system to

But at what cost!? Every time I write Haskell code it reads like a mathematical proof that's beyond my ability to comprehend! Whereas my Ruby, Python, and Clojure programs read like a poem I might have written in third grade.
