I am a Senior Software Engineer with 12+ years of experience designing and building scalable software systems in the cloud.

In my last role at PagerDuty I was:

  - a full-stack engineer; I shipped frontends and backends to millions of users

  - a mentor; I supported my co-workers through 1:1 mentoring and pairing/code reviews

  - a DevOps engineer; I mitigated incidents and drove down MTTR for mission-critical microservices

  - a tech lead; I successfully delivered high-impact projects in collaboration with UX and Product

I'm looking for an opportunity to work with passionate people on large-scale, innovative projects.

I'm curious: what kind of problems?

This looks very similar to https://taskfile.dev (Go, 3.5k stars).

Hm, not what I observed so far. Same Go application taking 1.5s instead of ~50ms to cold start.

FWIW, a little experimented I just ran showed me that with simple layers the cold start time of my little 3MB Go app was <100ms, using the Docker image `amazon/aws-lambda-go:1` instead took ~1500ms.

(OP here)

I wrote them again a week later. Still got no response. Then I contacted the HR people on LinkedIn and got mostly rejections - but one interview, actually. So I totally agree, you have to follow-up. Didn't mention that in the article.

Seconded. I was just constantly getting annoyed by street noise and loud neighbours. Now I just put in the earplugs and everything is well.

Blogging.

EDIT:

It would be nice to look back at a decade of blogging, but I only started like ~3 years ago. It has many, many benefits: Practicing written communication, organizing one's thoughts, build up credibility, learn things in-depth by teaching etc.

Now that I think about it, actually, publishing anything in general. Working out in the open. I often kept side project to myself. I should have just open sourced that (did that for some projects after the fact).

how so?

Are there any (German) resources on how to do the tax reports yourself?

I can't find anything. I did incorporate too early and now have nothing but a few payments to declare. Don't want to spend 500€+ on the accountant :-/

There was an Elixir Conf in Berlin? And I didn't know about it?? Arghhhh

That's very cool! But it's runtime checking only, right? I was aiming for compile-time checking.

CQRS Journey

"This guidance is designed to help you get started with the CQRS pattern and event sourcing. It is not intended to be the definitive guide to the CQRS pattern and event sourcing. Instead, it's a journal that describes the experiences of a development team with no prior CQRS proficiency in building, deploying (to Microsoft Azure), and maintaining a sample real-world complex enterprise system as a reference implementation (RI) to showcase various CQRS and ES concepts & techniques."

Go needs a Cucumber (BDD) library.

I would love to see a small example/snippet illustrating how I'd use this.

We already implemented 2FA, but it's not yet forced for everyone. You don't want to patronize your customers ;)

Thanks for your comment!

Well, obviously we want to prevent stealing the HTTP session. But maybe someone steals the user's password - we can't protect the user's password for him.

So when someone from the US suddenly logs in on another continent we want to detect that. Sure they could use a proxy, but maybe. Since it's a B2B app people rarely use it out of the office.

I read eCommerce shops do it, payment providers as well. So there seems to be something to it...

Have we decided if this is a good pattern or an anti-pattern, yet?

Why is no framework for Go in the list? Oh, that's right: They are all minimalistic ;)

"It is now possible to configure the number of concurrent requests served by each of your app's dynamic instances ..."

Wow! This is huge!

I wonder if other platforms (Java, PHP, Python) will also get this. Go is wickedly fast, starting up and instance as well as serving a request. And now that an instance scales to much more concurrent requests it even scales fantastically. Awesome.

EDIT I just saw in the documentation that Java can do this as well! Our main business runs Java on App Engine and I never heard about this ... odd.

Wow, how did you create this list? manually? automatically?

Good to see some activity there!

I picked up https://github.com/cihub/seelog some time ago, fits my needs :)

That's what I did. I received an offer since. It's way below $500.

Is there a marketplace where similar domains are traded?

Well, it's a bit similar to Google Analytics in that sense. I suppose they gain 'insight'.

thanks for the data point!

Does anyone have experiences with this kind of recruiting event? Is it worth the time/money?
