@NafiTheBear @MastodonEngineering i’d first need to get a CV done lmao

haven’t had to write one for… 8 years or so

@nilsding well it would be worth a shot I think. Maybe you get declined and then you have an updated CV and know that you at least tried.

@MastodonEngineering @Gargron @renchap @Claire I knew that picking Python over Ruby will end up having at least one negative consequence - there it is :blobcatsadlife:

@MastodonEngineering @Gargron @renchap @Claire despite all the hype about full stack I have very rarely, if ever, bumped into someone who is truly good at frontend and backend frameworks and techs. I wonder if you should consider splitting those roles? (Not for me, I might add, but I’d struggle to come up with anyone I could honestly recommend for both).

@Setok the position is for a strong backend person, as I hope is clear in the description. But being a very small team (and no budget yet for anotjer hire) doing some frontend work will probably be needed. If we get enough donations I would be very happy to open up a frontend dev position

@box464 @MastodonEngineering The link was disabled by mistake, it should now be back online!

@MastodonEngineering @Gargron @renchap @Claire sure is tempting to brush off the old Ruby experience. But it’s been 12 years since I used it. Call me if you decide to do an Elixir rewrite. ;)

@MastodonEngineering @Gargron @renchap @Claire Dang. I'm QA, not dev! (But if you all ever hire an SDET, I would be _very_ interested.)
