About me: I am passionate about what I do, and am quick to pick up new skills as the need arises. The technologies that I listed above are what I would consider to be my core skills, but they are not my only skills. In the past I've worked with Python, Perl, and Go as well to name a few. In a perfect world, maybe I'd get the chance to finally work with Elixir in a professional capacity!
Remote: Yes, preferably pacific hours but this isn't strictly a dealbreaker
Willing to relocate: Never say never, but unlikely
Technologies: While PHP and Java have primarily paid the bills these past few years, I am not tied to them. I have a reasonable amount of experience with all parts of the typical web dev stack, and where I lack experience I make up for it by being a quick and eager learner.
My last role was a senior software engineer at Slickdeals, but I got caught up in a recent round of layoffs that hit a third of the company. I like solving problems, and I tend to use code to do so. I've primarily been on the backend side of things in my career, and that's definitely where I'm most comfortable. I like to think that I can adapt to new languages/circumstances fairly well, and am looking for a good group of folks to work with!
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada
Remote: yes, vastly preferred
Willing to relocate: highly unlikely, but perhaps for the right opportunity?
Technologies: PHP and Java primarily for my professional career. I have a very strong interest in security/reverse engineering and I'd like a good excuse to really dive into Elixir and/or Rust. Some hobby work with Go, Python and Vue. Various devops stuff (Ansible, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, etc).

I'm in a similar situation, except with a worse reason for requiring everyone to come back to the office. We were told that the optics of us not coming back to the office as the city is reopening could destroy the company. I can assure you that NO ONE is going to say "well I was going to spend money with these people but they're not in the office, so I'll go elsewhere".
Further, we are being given less than 24 hours notice to come back into the office. It's just absurd, and it has eroded any trust that I once had in the company.
This is honestly why I love working at smaller companies in addition to feeling like you actually make a difference as an individual, but that's another comment..
I just said no, not comfortable with that. That was the end of it. The in-office was replaced with a call (that was later replaced with a chat on Slack as it turned out)
> We were told that the optics of us not coming back to the office as the city is reopening could destroy the company.
Wherein "optics" means the millions that the top shareholders and decision makers may or may not make in the future. That's what's at stake, and that's why your families need to be put at risk.
Now, it probably isn't as correlated to butts-in-seats as mid-management would like to pretend it is, and maybe those people don't deserve bonuses for being bad mid-managers, but after the US just blew $2T+ on speculative bailouts, I do think that the goose is required to lay a few golden eggs.
Much like 8-hour workdays, weekends, or parental leave, I'm excited for us to discuss reforming parts of how the world works to make things better for everyone.
I’m a software developer in the travel/hospitality/entertainment industry and I (along with the rest of my coworkers) took a 20% cut around the end of March.
The story that I always remember is that TMNT is based roughly on Daredevil
In Daredevil, Matt Murdoch pushes an old man out of the way of a truck that contains chemicals that blind him but give him superhuman abilities. He is then trained by his mentor Stick the fight against The Hand.
In TMNT, there is an incident that involves chemicals getting into a sewer that transforms the turtles as well as the rat that is with them. That rat is named Splinter, and he trains the turtles to fight against The Foot.
Also no particular point aside from my own amusement!
There’s a lot of comics nerdery scattered throughout the early issues. Up to and including an issue that is basically about Jack Kirby and how Stan Lee screwed him over.
SoftICE and Diablo are the reasons I have a passion for software security and do software development for a living! Ripping Diablo and battle.net to pieces to understand how to make it do what I wanted it to do instead of what Blizzard wanted it to do was how I spent a good chunk of my childhood.
So yes, thank you very much for literally changing my life, SoftICE!
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: Not at this time
Technologies: Java / Spring Boot, PHP / Symfony / Laravel, JavaScript / TypeScript
