I actually started studying part-time for a mathematics degree earlier this year, and I don't plan on stopping that now. Having a degree does open doors at more traditional companies and government jobs, and it would also make immigration to another country sometime in the future a lot more straightforward. There are definitely benefits, even though I'm established in my career!
At this point in my life and the economy I'm not particularly looking for such early-stage startups like Magnetic (especially w/ relocation to SF), but thanks for giving me the heads up!
Remote: Remote/Hybrid/On-Site
Willing to relocate: To California, Massachusetts, Canada, or Europe for the right opportunity
Technologies: Go (Golang), Rust, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, SQLite, NixOS, Cloudflare (everything, the whole Cloudflare Developer Platform - I would call myself an expert at this, as I've dogfooded most new developer platform products as they released), Kubernetes

I just got laid off by Cloudflare, looking for a position doing infrastructure & backend work. I spent my time at Cloudflare working on the Waiting Room, Health Checks, and Load Balancing products, three distributed systems which crunch global data to make decisions globally. I'm happy to move down-stack as well (e.g. to systems programming, especially in Rust).
I’ll update this with a resume link tonight…
Question 1 had such different styles. I preferred the style the AI was using, but that was purely a stylistic preference.
Question 3 was a toss-up. They both felt fine, and funny enough they both had a "not just X, it's Y" pattern.
Those were the only two where I clicked the AI version - for the other three, it was obvious which was AI.
