Summary: Backend web/distributed systems engineer with nearly 10 YoE. Most recently, I was a senior staff engineer at Neuroflow, an East Coast Series C mental health startup.
Location: USA, West Coast, SF Bay Area
Remote: Very interested in full remote, but will consider a hybrid situation.
I'll be happy to send you a nice, printable (or, executable -- your choice) résumé, if you email me.
Email: pwmiller74@gmail.com
Willing to relocate: Offer me a big stack of cash, or some other really compelling reason, and anything's possible. :-)
Technologies: Linux, OSX, Python, Django, Flask, Pyramid, various AWS backend services, git, Github, Gitlab, Postgres, MySQL, Cassandra, Redis, Memcache, Kafka, multiple LISP dialects. I also know enough C and C++ to be dangerous.
I would love to work in some variety of Lisp. I use Emacs, so I work with Lisp on a daily basis already.
About me:
* If you need someone who can quickly get up to speed with your backend systems, I'm your guy.
* If you need someone to be the voice of experience and help build, shape, and mentor your team, I'm your guy.
* If you need someone to lead major projects and cross-team initiatives, I'm your guy.
* If you want someone who's gotten himself into, and out of, basically every weird state a git repo can be in, I'm your guy.
* If you want someone to fix your printer... well, I can be that guy, kind of, but you're really better off hiring someone who's better at it. ;)
I am most interested in working at late stage startups (think "5 minutes from going public"), public companies, or startups that can compete in liquid compensation with public companies.
Location: SF Bay Area.
Remote: Yes, preferred.
Willing to relocate: Unlikely.
Technologies: Python, Django, Pyramid, Flask, Postgres, MySQL, Docker, AWS, and a few other web technologies. I'm very willing to branch out and work with others, such as Ruby, Node.js, Golang and others, so don't consider this an exhaustive list.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you've emailed me a few weeks ago and gotten radio silence, it may be because I've been having technical difficulties. My @yahoo.com email is suddenly starting to reject a significant number of legitimate emails as SPAM, so, I'm switching to an @gmail.com for my job search communications, and I'll dig what I can out of my SPAM folder. TL;DR: If I didn't write you back in the past several weeks, please feel free to try again at pwmiller74@GMAIL.COM

Reveal codes is the ultimate hammer against screwy formatting. No more wondering why your layout went screwy 10 pages away from where you made some minor change to your text, a graphic, or a table. With "reveal codes" available, you can see directly what's going on and fix it right, instead of fumbling about with the formatting tools in Word.
Guess what? It can happen to you, too, if you dare criticize a celebrity CEO. I got flagged & chastised for “breaking the guidelines” over a comment that stated facts about a certain CEO whose initials are TK.
Remember when y’all kept saying there’s no free speech on Facebook or Twitter? Well, it’s worse here, because if you don’t toe that line and bend the knee, you might get your user privileges limited.
> Regardless of how wrong or badly-behaved other people (be they HN users, celebrity CEOs, or imperialist bullies) are or you feel they are, you owe this community better if you're participating in it. Other people doing bad things is a poor non-excuse for setting this place on fire.
> I would like you to email me your contact information so that I never end up working anywhere near you. My email is in my profile.
I agreeing with the point you are making in that comment. However, I would happily flag any comment that makes disagreements unnecessarily personal in such a manner. It is the type of non-productive discourse that drags the whole conversation down.
Sorry, but that doesn't explain why admin specifically decided to call out the fact that I called out a "celebrity CEO." And, this disagreement is necessarily personal. Although I'm glad you agree with me, I'm not trying to convince anybody, nor do I care what amount of discussion my own, personal disagreement generates.
Providing poor service and still making money isn't capitalism. That's a lack of competition. Plenty of countries have poor government run services and there's no alternative. Same deal - no competition.
Charging for things just because you can is a capitalist mindset, however.
Besides, hospitals will never be more competitive than an oligopoly in most cases, simply because only so many are built in any given geographic area, and most people can only travel so far for medical care. There are some services the “free market” simply can’t deliver efficiently.
The reason why "only so many are built in any given geographic area" is because we aren't being very capitalist or free market. One must obtain a "certificate of need" before opening a new facility, and that will be opposed in court by all possible competitors.
The error here: it's not problems arising from capitalism
You complained that "only so many are built in any given geographic area", and I pointed out that this is for a very non-capitalist reason. Regulation prohibits opening new hospitals.
