I recently moved to SF with my wife (I already have a Visa and EAD, but still very bad timing!). I'm primarily a Project Manager looking to move into a Technical Program Manager or Technical Product Manager role, and open to project or coaching roles as well.
I specialize in working cross-functionally and bridging the gap between technical and business teams. Ideally, I'm looking for a SF Bay Area-based company that is working on an MVP and is looking to scale the development team's size and efficiency, technical infrastructure, and product documentation. I'm also looking at working on teams at unicorns or FAANG companies that have already established products and workflows but want to improve cross-functional communication and work more efficiently with other teams.
On the tech side, I have built support workflows, tooling, and documentation for an emerging telecom product. I have architecting and executing multiple dedicated hardware to cloud migrations. I also built numerous internal tools to make developers' lives easier. After getting my Scrum Master certification in early 2018, I moved into a PM role for a blockchain startup. I helped the team build and successfully launch wallets for multiple blockchains, including Ethereum and Polkadot. I also helped build non-public-facing products, including a blockchain explorer and a certificate verification tool.
Thanks and please email me if you have any questions or just want to chat!

( clueless recruiter filter ;-) )
However I am authentically and intellectually curious what drives you to do so (i.e., spoiling the post)? Is it a need for recognition? Do you believe the post is bad/wrong and feel the need to put the solution so that other people don't have to think about it? Or maybe it is some type of "FU" to the post because you can do it. Or maybe something else that I could not think of?
Really curious to get your POV!
Most of the responses were, "I don't want your job, I just wanted to know that I solved the puzzle". I actually hit gmail's sending limit trying to reply to everyone to let them know they solved the puzzle.
So I'd say, people like solving puzzles for the sake of it, and getting praise for doing so.
We ended up interviewing many of them. They were all very interested in the job. In most cases it was their second or third job out of college. ie. not junior engineers.
We got some great engineers out of it. In fact I think most of them are still there a decade later.
I'm curious on why you view it as flawed. At a previous place I worked we had something like that (we had a small puzzle in the code version of the homepage source).
We treated it as one of the several "acquisition channels" we had for our funnel (recruiters, job-boards and job fairs were others). All channels were treated the same with regards to evaluation, so for us it was just an additional way to get candidates.
I no longer think quizzes and tests are a good idea.
The reality for me is that I am really fine with that, and I really am curious about the motives. I stuck to HN policy of "interpret the comment a the best of the intentions" so did not worry about the possible bad reading.
From my POV it will be stupid of me to worry, get angry or anything at such types of comments. It happens in the internet and it was expected. In fact, that was not the only comment showing the "solution", but the one which I though might provide some light.
I apologize if the "undertone" of the comment seemed aggressive to you. (and hope this doesn't sound as well haha)

Hi there! I'm Melissa, and I'm looking for an entry-level remote position at a tech or tech-adjacent company. I’ve lately taught myself React and have built a few personal projects: cloudmaker.site and mightymorse.com. I have an eclectic background including sales, UI/UX design, web development, and a bit of product design and copy writing. I care deeply about both products and the people who need them.
If your team needs a positive person with excellent communication skills who can get things done, let’s have a zoom call! I’m confident that I can bring a ton of value to your team.

I’m an independent contractor (own ltd company), full-stack/front-end engineer, designer and open source programmer who's been coding for ~15 years.
Currently building website/page speed optimizer https://oya.to/
An ideal position would be a fully-remote contract, full or part-time, but willing to negotiate.
I'm happy to remove this comment if it's harmful to have here.
The name is cool, and your deployed projects are great - I hope this is taken as the constructive feedback it was meant to be :)
The sparse Github is more of an unfortunate organization issue which can be improved. FWIW, there are more repos on https://github.com/oyato https://github.com/KurokuLabs and https://github.com/DisposaBoy
Animation issue is on Firefox 71.0/Ubuntu 19.04.

Email: seniorrubyengineer@gmail.com
Senior Ruby Engineer with more than fourteen years of profound knowledge in building web applications based on Ruby on Rails at scale (>10M users, >20M daily requests). Strong focus on performance optimization (algorithms, SQL optimization, scaling), site reliability (monitoring, debugging, bug fixing) and maintenance/refactoring of huge, legacy Rails applications (major Rails updates, extracting services).
Looking for a Tech Lead role in a team of about 6-18 developers or a VP Engineering/CTO position in a startup in an early stage. I like to work autonomously and pro-actively on hard and difficult tasks. I mentor juniors and train my teammates to make good architecture and design decisions. A co-worker once called my a wizard: A deep thinker who doesn't need guidance with magical results. I prefer to not being micro-managed nor to be put on the critical path. But to have the freedom and trust to choose what next steps to take to make your applications better for your customers and the development environment more appealing to the team.

I’ve been interested in software development basically since forever. I’ve been programming for many years, both personally and professionally. I’ve used quite a few different languages and technologies.
I am looking to work either on server backends in Rust, or on app development for Apple platforms (macOS and/or iOS) using Swift and SwiftUI.
I am dedicated to the profession of software development and I care deeply about building high quality software. High quality software to me means taking all of security, performance, and user experience very seriously. However, I personally also believe that the greatest software is purpose built for some key areas of usage, and that the user should be expected to put in some non-trivial amount of effort too in order to learn how to use the software.
On my past-time I enjoy making music. So an opportunity to work on software directly related to music making would be extra interesting. But basically I would work on whatever, as long as it is something that would be of real use and value to its users.

I currently work as a Systems Engineer at iyzico (leading Fintech startup in Turkey) and previously done Fullstack as a freelancer and side-projects.
Even though I havent listed here, I am open to new tech/code, doing different things. (https://github.com/pvtmert) Not really having a 'goal', so different things are absolutely ok. I have built multiple projects while and after university, which this year I'm graduated.
I've been the 'joker' person mostly. I am the go-to person for technical questions or 'google' in the company.
I'm looking forward to leave Turkey (because you know, politics and economy is really bad) for preferably Europe.
I've contributed to Swift, Go, Objective-C but my understanding on those are in basic level. I am open to new things / small guidence will be enough to kickstart me :)
For Devops parts I have experience with:
- Containers/Docker: Transitioned half of the stack to containerized environment in my current position)
- Java/Maven build and release (managed and maintained releases, bit legacy stuff via Bamboo on-prem)
- Android release/build and signing via GitLab runner
- K8s on-prem cluster setup & maintenance
- Internal structure setup & maintenance, namely DHCP/DNS (dnsmasq and unbound) Nginx, a little HAProxy, NFS, SSH
- I've setup Kafka cluster, Splunk Enterprise, Apache Airflow, Zabbix among other stuff I don't remember rightnow.
- I personally managed Iven's entire cloud for 2yrs (AWS and Digitalocean) and personally using GCP and DO for 4 years.
For Fullstack:
- Java and Kotlin Android development
- Experience with Vanilla JS and various peripheral API's in browser, eg WebBluetooth
- Experience with Flask and Python, also written 'middleware' applications which converts custom TCP/UDP or Embedded Serial protocols into structured JSON and vice-versa
- NodeJS experience similarly to python. My apps mostly run inside Raspberry Pi's inside refrigerators :)
- A little experience with Java/spring-boot (mostly debugging production stuff)
- Visualisation experience with three.js, Processing, and p5.js
- A plain PHP experince not tied to any framework etc)
- A little side-project/PoC/demo experince with Flutter
- C experience is mostly systems-programming (nowadays python) and embedded development (esp32, arduino etc)
