My personal opinion of it has wildly alternated between "the piece of technology that will bring humanity into the Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism era" to "an unspeakable tangle of spaghetti which has imprisoned my hopes and dreams".
Now, it stands firmly at some place in between.
Location: Montréal, Québec, Canada. Je peux aussi parler français!
Remote: Yes, but fully onsite is also good
Willing to relocate: Yes, across Canada
Technologies: My favourite programming language is Rust, I do all my open source contributions in it now! I am currently working on porting rgbds, a Game Boy compiler and linker, from C++ to Rust. Tagged unions are great to define token types in the parsers used in its structure, but C++ makes it hard to write them with its syntax! Rust enums make it much easier.
Aside from Rust, I have done UX and web gamedev with JavaScript as a hobby for two years. I use Linux Mint as my daily OS, and have academic experience in machine learning libraries such as Scikit Learn | Gensim | Tensorflow | PyTorch | Keras.
Résumé/CV: I don't want to post it online for all to see, but it's available on request. I can speak a little about myself, though!
I have never actually worked in tech. It has been my passion for a very long time, but as my family background is in agriculture and craftsmanship, working with computers was poorly regarded. It's only in the last 2 years that I've actually really settled on doing what I actually enjoy for a living! Due to this, my greatest work experiences are in leather chemistry in a fur tanning facility, and in entomological research for a federal Canadian agriculture scientific centre.
One of my favourite personal projects was designing a neuroevolution reinforcement learning system in Rust, you can read about it here: https://github.com/Oneirical/tango-problem
