Location: Laramie, Wyoming, USA

Remote: Yes (but I'm happy to travel from time to time)

I've got over a decade's experience building innovative web applications using Ruby on Rails. Lately I've been increasingly interested in Elixir and Phoenix for building realtime applications. Also over the past several years, I've witnessed the heavy lifting move to the frontend and I've embraced React, Relay, GraphQL, and React Native on this path. I've worked on large teams, I've worked alone. As such, I've got experience across the full stack ranging from CSS pixel pushing all the way down to writing provisioning scripts for scaling servers.

Over the years, I've worked on a variety of projects from clients as big as a Fortune 50 company to early stage startups. Most recently, I've been working on an IoT/Mobile/Web platform for a very large company. I've spent many years in the eCommerce space helping streamline sales for hybrid online/B&M eCommerce companies. I've integrated with countless APIs.

I'm very interested in building cutting edge interesting apps. If you're looking to build another Facebook, I might not be for you.

I am in the early stages of growing my freelancing into an agency so I've also got a team on call for building out larger projects.

      - Show you how to attract users to your platform, and help you solve the platform "chicken and the egg" problem.

About me:

Remote: I'm willing to travel, but probably not to relocate.

Email: rurabe at gmail dot com

I have 5+ years experience building web applications in Ruby and Javascript.

\- Do you want to build a fairly traditional app? I've done tons of that with Rails and Express.

\- Do you want to do some really fancy stuff? I've focused on that lately using React and Redux, builing complex apps that live inside the browser with lightweight servers that serve JSON.

\- Do you want to do some really really fancy real time stuff? I've also worked on apps that use websockets to deliver realtime two way communications in conjunction with React to do magic.

\- Do you use a database? I have 6+ years of experience working with Postgresql, and am not too shabby with MySql either.

If you think you might want to do any of these (fancy) things, I can lead or augment your development efforts with an approach that prioritizes clear communication and quality code. I've been working for 3+ years remotely with both startups and larger organizations, and am happy to talk with you about your project.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Hi there! I'm a web developer, a generalist programmer, and I adore building squiggly and robust tech-thingies. I've been in professional web dev for over eleven years, five of which have been remote contracting. It's great fun!

I've been the lead programmer / CTO for several startups. I'll also happily pootle around with devops/sysadmin tasks, chat with non-techy clients, troubleshoot their troubles and help un-bamboozle them about horrendous tech issues, mentor junior developers and designers who might find our million billion sub-fields of programming a wee bit daunting, and host a mean beer o'clock on Fridays.

</comment><comment><USER42> SEEKING WORK - Remote, travel possible depending on location and duration.

Location: North-east UK

What I do: Data migration, transformation, and processing. Prototype development. Feasibility studies.

In the past I've been a network engineer, run large-scale Debian installations doing devops before it had a name, and been responsible for servers in Antarctica. I have experience with a wide range of different Unix tools and technologies, at various levels of the stack. This gives me the ability—and the perspective—to pick the best combination of tools for any particular project, rather than simply treating everything as a nail because all I have is a hammer.

I focus particularly on taking on "weird" or niche data or exploratory projects end-to-end; things that wouldn't be a fit for a standard web or development agency.

Previous work:

* Custom domain specific language (DSL) to encode business rules for computer vision system (Common Lisp)

* University library data migration project, with a focus on completeness and validation. (Clojure, Elixir, Ruby)

* School data processing app (Elixir/Phoenix, PostgreSQL)

* Custom data dashboards (R, Geckoboard)

* High-reliability, long-term timelapse platform for inaccessible locations. (FreeBSD, Arduino, Python, Shell)

* Migration of existing Node.js+Firebase service to Golang+PostgreSQL on AWS

* Feasibility study investigating the possiblility of writing custom code to interface with a biometric timeclock (Common Lisp)

* Proof-of-concept hardware development for projects linking the physical and virtual worlds in real time (Arduino, Node.js)

Buzzwords: Debian, Ubuntu, AWS, PostgreSQL, Perl, Common Lisp, Clojure, Ruby, Go, Arduino / AVR, Elixir / Phoenix, FreeBSD

Location: Provo, Utah

Profit from my poor planning! Let me be your dorky subordinate freelancer that you contract the crappy stuff out to!

You: an experienced freelancer with more work than you can handle --- or maybe you just have an eye for arbitrage.

Me: a better programmer than businessman. I'm going back to school in April and need to pay for tuition. A lot of my problems would disappear with a good amount of work at $20-30/hr (1099) for a few months (or possibly longer; let's talk).

"He quoted his rate first, which is _stupidly_ low, and he wasted my time telling me about his problems? This guy is like the worst freelancer ever." Yes! Now's your chance to nab that sweet sweet middleman money!

"No one could be that desperate." Dude, I wrote this last night upon returning from a 10PM - 2AM janitor job. Trust me, I am _good to go_.

"OK, well, can you, like, actually do anything?"

Yes! My main focus has been Clojurescript/React SPA's. My last gig was for a venture-backed SF startup. Before that I spent a couple years slaving away on a cross between Excel and a Lisp environment, rendered in SVG by CLJS. I've also done work in Ruby and Python, though I'm weaker on their standard libraries. Do I mind boning up on anything, unpaid? No. Remember: _janitor_.

"I mean, we're talking remote here, are you going to be a giant headache?" No. I have experience working remote, probably just like you, and know the pitfalls.

"What's the catch?" In the end, of course, you'll have to judge for yourself! From my side though: I'm looking to satisfice on deal flow, rather than optimize on rate. Hopefully we can help each other.

Tab over to your email (c'mon, you know you have it open), and send any sort of message to firstname.lastname@example.com. It will automatically respond with my name, phone number, and actual email. Let's talk!

Brian Kernighan Interviews Ken Thompson at Vintage Computer Festival East 2019 - <AUTHOR> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY6q5dv_B-o <comment><USER2> Found the video and even posted it (before I realized that I should do a search).

Why Financial Planning Is Exciting at Least for a Data Scientist - <AUTHOR> https://eng.uber.com/financial-planning-for-data-scientist/ <comment><USER2> I'm always surprised at the lack of interest in modelling business processes here on HN.

This blog post from Uber is a case in point: 19 hours after posting, there are still zero comments.

When I started my career 25 years ago, I was a junior management consultant and often had to model the impact of the major corporate changes we proposed to our clients. One example I remember well was figuring out how a bunch of reengineering initiatives would change the work done across a network of 1000 retail bank branches. I built an Excel model that figured out branch-level workloads, proposed changes to the number and function of branches, and then presented the personnel, real estate and operational cost impact...

I am sometimes curious how these types of models would be built today. My natural assumption (as a data scientist) would be use Python in a Jupyter notebook to do it all. However, my attempts at web searches for examples of business modelling techniques never return anything relevant.

Maybe someone reading this (from BCG/McKinsey/Pwc/etc?) can explain how they model the impacts of large scale business change?

<comment><USER3> It really depends on the business model. There are some tools out there for some financial forecasting, but IMO, most are too specialized to do what you're referring. Ultimately, things haven't changed much. Most large corporations are still using these excel models to do the exact same thing.</comment></comment>

Crapmania - <AUTHOR> http://crapmania.com/

<comment><USER2> I really have to admire Zed's use of all things lean here. It looks like a bare-bone site with no architecture to speak of, but there seems to be just enough content to create a compelling value proposition. This is an MVP if I've ever seen one. With just a couple hundred words of plain text, he can actually test whether there's a market or not. Very inspiring.

That being said, the name could be a deal breaker. In fact, it almost makes me think that the whole thing was put together tongue-in-cheek. It just screams "a place to buy a bunch of low quality junk."

<comment><USER3> Funny, because my first thought was "wow, awesome domain name. How was that not taken?"

<comment><USER4> Because, to me at least, it sounds like crap.

<comment><USER3> But some people will admit to loving crap. Lots of crap, the more, and the more crappy, the better. Some people will wax enthusiastic about the crap they love.

</comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER5> Charging by the image ($1?!) practically guarantees that all the listings will suck. Sellers will balk at the high price, creating paltry, image lean listings. Buyers won't waste time on listings that don't have large detailed images and lots of them. All that you'll end up with in that vacuum is spam.

<comment><USER6> Or: the people that really think they have something worth selling (i.e. not spam) will take pictures and pay to post a few of them. This could actually make it easier for buyers to spot posts from serious sellers. The number of pictures may indicate the seller's confidence in the product. Of course, there's still the potential for spammers willing to pay to post pictures, but at a dollar each I don't think the margins would be anywhere near, say, email spam which costs virtually nothing.

<comment><USER7> But if it's targeted at people who are causally selling their crap, not products, then you want lots of photos to be sure of the kind of crap you're buying. The seller might just want to unload it.

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER8> This sounds all too much like Craigslist's free section. Where's the differentiation? Emailing stuff in is nice, but the market is really dominated by CL (plus CL is completely free for stuff like this), so honestly I'm not sure how this idea would work.

<comment><USER9> Exactly, it's like the free section plus two things:

1) A lot less bullshit to use it. Really good email interactions that's easy to use and keep your sale organized.

2) People who pay for images will immediately flag themselves as serious, so buyers will be able to filter easier.

Since they're paying for them they can put up as huge as they want, so better images is another minor selling point.

Otherwise, absolutely nothing original.

</comment></comment><comment><USER10> If only it was that simple to take a well beaten idea (selling stuff) and re- position it with a recently successful platform (posterous) and hope for its succeeding on the back of the platform.

I am actually amazed by so many people praising it, comparing it to MVP, and debating on the pricing model, but are failing to see if there are any real takers in the fundamental idea (selling stuff)??

Sorry, but I just do not see any innovation here that may warrant its decent traction.

<comment><USER9> Pfft, the only "innovative" thing on that page is the damn figlet BETA sticker. I'm not trying to be innovative, because frankly all you guys who keep using that word must not know what the hell it means.

I haven't seen one single bit of innovation at all from anyone doing tech businesses. The name of the game is to either:

1) Take an existing successful thing and add 2 features. 2) Take two things and put "meets" between them.

I just did both #1 and #2 is all. I took craigslist and added two simple features people want, and then said it's "posterous meets craigslist". Then I slapped some cash value on it, because that's the best way to actually, you know, make some cash.

Now, never mind the fact that I wrote the email framework (<http://lamsonproject.org>) that can make it happen. Just doing the above two things has got people millions in seed funding for the dumbest stupid ass ideas ever. At least my idea's got a proposed way to make money built in.

Finally, yes, this is MVP. I spent $15 on it total and about 10 minutes of my time. From that I got #3 on HN for most of a day, feedback from smart people, several volunteers to help, and all from a single hand written web page I crafted with vim while laughing at how ridiculous and awesome it was.

<comment><USER10> > I'm not trying to be innovative, because frankly all you guys

If that what it is, so be it. Personally I am not taker of this idea

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER11> My only request is that Zed offer a proper API. The number one reason I hate dealing with craiglist is that there is no easy way to get results in json format.

<comment><USER9> Probably will, since it seems people also want a bad ass iPhone, Android client.

</comment></comment><comment><USER12> For buyers, this isn't any different than using craigslist. Why would they go to this site? What's in it for them?

All the benefits of using this are targeted toward sellers.

<comment><USER2> True. But I've always believed when you're dealing with a C2C business, you have to choose one of the C's to attack first. On the other hand, sellers who pay to sell something that doesn't sell probably don't make great repeat customers.

Perhaps--like posterous again--the service could push the listing to all the existing classified sites. That would probably muddle his proposed business model though.

</comment></comment><comment><USER13> Thoughts:

It will make or break depending on how well people can find the stuff being sold so they can buy it.

$1 sounds expensive -- maybe for the beginning have it be $1 if the stuff actually sells, in order to build up a user base.

</comment><comment><USER14> Why charge per picture?

Pictures = More likely to get sale, Less likely to disappoint the customer.

I like the idea of making the initial listing of the item easy (although I'm still not sure on the benefits over just making an extremely simple, sell this form with 3 boxes (title, description, price).

What is wrong with taking a small charge for the successful sale? The advantage of this is that everyone wins. The seller will only pay an amount (relatively small) when they have completed a sale and made money (and thus don't mind paying the small fees).

</comment><comment><USER15> What's your target audience? Everyone who has internet? Seriously? You must be bonkers.

You can't seriously be suggesting that I'd opt to choose your site instead of a local one, merely because there's just a crapload of crap from everywhere of the world which pretty much clutters the whole plainfield for every player in the market of crapmania.

Why would I upload a 1$ picture when there's no users to speak of? I mean, the site itself has no indication of how much people is using it. So if I'm a potential seller who wants to sell his crap, why would I opt a site that shows in no way how much users it has (if it's not public knowledge that the site has a lot of users).

<comment><USER9> Target audience: Myself. I have some guitars and pedals to sell so I'll write it and use it to sell them. After that I'll try other people who need to sell guitar gear. Why? Because people who sell guitar gear want bigger pictures.

If by "local" you mean craigslist and ebay, you gotta seriously different view of local. I plan on hawking my guitar crap by pointing my twitter followers at the page I make. That'll work for now.

Finally, I plan to have it make a page. Then I'll link to that page off my twitter. Then people who want to buy will email me. And then, I'll sell stuff with it.

I'm thinking, hey, maybe other people would like a way to make a page of pictures of crap they want to sell to point their friends at so their friends of their friends of their friends might buy it.

At least, that's the start.

<comment><USER15> "maybe other people would like a way to make a page of pictures of crap they want to sell to point their friends at"

What would make them want to pay for it when they can already easily create a picture album in flickr (or any other free picture hosting website for that matter) and point their friends into it?

I mean that would be completely free for them. I still don't see the point why anyone in their right mind would want to pay 1$ for uploading a picture & creating a web page which has those mentioned pictures - Where's the value for the user compared to other sites ???

It's not the year 1998 anymore, you know...

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER16> Good idea, bad execution.

1) Why even charge for posting pictures of stuff people want to sell? Put yourself as an user. Browsing through craigslist or ebay, I almost 100% filter out listings without an image. That's not the bare minimum, that's required. I know you use the bill me later approach for pics, but why even push users to fill your site with listings with poor conversion rates?

2) Browse listings, not even sure how to do that. # Type in what you're looking for. << Type where? # Look at what's being sold. << Where's the listing? )

</comment><comment><USER17> I think this is a really good idea. How about a smaller charge, say, $0.50 an image, or tiered, at $1.00 for the first image, $0.75 for the next, $0.50 for each after?

Perhaps a discount on the next sale if a previous sale was successful?

I know my idea isn't perfect. However I think Zed should think of something along those lines. One dollar flat per image might discourage bulk sales or products that need visual defining.

</comment><comment><USER18> "You then get an email address that buyers use to talk with you. None of that email tag like with craigslist."

Having trouble understanding this point. The CL anonymizer forwards to my normal email account. How does that add a step for either party? Or I should say, how does providing a different email address remove steps?

<comment><USER9> I was thinking that it would basically help you keep track of who you've been talking to and what you've been offered. Probably a simple web interface with each convo that's easier to track.

<comment><USER18> I gotcha. FWIW, simply changing the email subject based on the respondent (or some other id) would let threaded email clients work their magic.

It _is_ annoying how multiple CL convos intermingle, all because they share the same subject line.

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER19> I'd say people will only spend $1 if they know there are buyers coming to buy. How will you guarantee that?

<comment><USER9> Phase 1) Take pictures of random guitar gear I want to sell.

Phase 2) Put the gear on crapmania.com.

Phase 3) ....

Phase 4) Profit!

</comment></comment><comment><USER20> I like the just-email-it approach to posting listings. Somewhat tangentially, looks like there's some demand for email auctions: <http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1332831>

</comment><comment><USER21> Actually, I'm 90% certain that this is almost a "joke". I can smell the irony off of this post.

The idea actually seems good, but the billing $1 for a picture seems very out of character for Zed.

Personally, I like the idea.

</comment><comment><USER22> Does this email-centric interface mean lamson 1.0 is around the corner? :)

<comment><USER9> I think there's like 2 bugs I still have to fix, so yeah maybe I'll just fix them and release.

</comment></comment><comment><USER23> I'm wondering about the situation of a seller making a single physical image file comprised of (i.e. collage of) several actual individual images. Maybe charge by the pixel?

</comment><comment><USER24> Reminds me of the Freecycle idea, but with payment. I wonder if Freecycle would actually try to respond with a similar board if this idea became popular.

</comment><comment><USER25> You should think about location. I'd like to search per country or even city. Are there any standards for geotagging in email? Doubt it.

</comment><comment><USER26> Awesome, I was wishing there was something like this for a while, but didn't know what format would be good. This looks perfect.

</comment><comment><USER27> Wow. What a bold initiative. In an age of of Flash websites and very slick designs, Zed Shaw comes up with a website that is more minimal than minimal. Something that could have been a home project almost 15 years ago.

So he threw it to the wall... I wonder if it'll stick. We'll see. I'm guessing it will.</comment>
