Location: Middle of nowhere New York State Remote: yes! Willing to relocate: to anywhere rural or any city with an easy commute to a rural area Technologies: Whatever you're using. I love to learn. Resume: available on request Email: hn@lj3.me

I am and have been a technology agnostic web engineer for the past 10 years. I've worked for both large companies and startups on projects as diverse as B2B marketplaces and online video games, some of which have brought in millions of dollars in revenue.

The areas in which I create tangible value include fast implementation of customer facing application features, services integration and internal tooling. I can work across all layers of a tech stack myself or work with specialized teams (ie: a database team, a backend team, etc). Whatever it takes to get the job done.

How expensive is rent out that way? I remember looking into it a few years back and found it was more expensive than living in the city, considering I would have had to buy a car.

It rings true for me as well, but there's still a floor on it. I like a quieter environment than most extroverts, but there is no such thing as an absolutely silent environment (not unless you spend a lot of money to make one of those soundless rooms).

There's also the matter of acute vs chronic noise. Any steady, constant noise, like a fan or music, I can tune out. Aggressive, sudden noises (like somebody shouting on the street) trigger something primal in me. It attracts my attention and if it's loud enough will even trigger my fight or flight reflex.

It makes me wonder if the reason the sensory processing dial on introverts is a little jacked up is because that trait results in a more sensitive fight or flight reflex.

A professor told me he went once in a "no sound at all" room, and he ended up hearing his blood flowing through his body.

I have no idea why this comment was downvoted. This is solid advice.

Depression/Lack of Interest is at least giving HN a run for its money. Besides, not everybody who spends time on HN will think it's their biggest productivity killer. Definitely A productivity killer, but maybe not the biggest one.

Plus, for some people, Depression/Lack of interest can be an underlying cause for spending too much time on sites like HN.

Do you agree with what Michael O'Church says about MBA culture? I've read a whole lot of his side of the argument but very little from somebody 'in the center of the MBAs'.

I am and have been a technology agnostic web engineer for the past 10 years. I've worked for large companies and startups alike working on projects as diverse as B2B marketplaces and online video games, some of which have brought in millions of dollars in revenue.

I'm open to both full time and freelance/contract web development positions. Most of my attention has been on Javacript and HTML5 recently, but I'm always willing to learn something new, as long as it provides a practical improvement over what I'm currently using.

Some of my other interests include services integration, tooling, creating compelling product features and getting the job done. I've been known to implement product features starting at the database and moving my way through the various layers and systems until the feature is done. I don't like delaying a frontend feature because I'm waiting on the backend team to expose a simple endpoint. If it's something I can do myself, I just do it.

Feel free to shoot me an email. I'm happy to have a conversation about what you're working on and how I can best contribute.

I don't buy it. After all, if he's never done anything outside the realm of acceptable political beliefs, then nobody has anything to lose by going into his politics. And if he has, they surely have the right to know, especially the Mozilla employees. Clearly, that's not why those comments are being downvoted.

Either the HN crowd is finally tired of the political chicanery or they're afraid that fostering further discussion could reveal something about Chris Beard they don't like. This would cause yet another round of political nonsense that winds up in a second Mozilla CEO resigning. That would be extremely embarrassing not just for Mozilla, but Silicon Valley as a whole.

> There was no sense of separation or exclusiveness.

Even for the people who didn't eat with the group every day? I notice that those people tend to get excluded over time. Not on purpose, necessarily. It's human nature to see things in terms of "part of the tribe" and "not part of the tribe".

> maybe you're not working with the right people..

This depends on a lot of factors. Even if you absolutely love everybody you work with, you may not want to eat lunch with them every day. For example, you work in an open office environment and see, hear and talk to them for 8-12 hours every day. Some would argue that, under those conditions, taking an hour in the middle of the day to be by yourself or to meet with people you don't see quite so often would be considered healthy.

On the other hand, if you all work in private offices 8-12 hours every day, then taking an hour and socializing with your co-workers sounds fantastic.

It was a small office. When people went for lunch they just yelled and anybody who wanted to join them did.

> Some would argue that, under those conditions, taking an hour in the middle of the day to be by yourself or to meet with people you don't see quite so often would be considered healthy.

That's certainly true, but I was more responding to the idea that somebody would actively avoid it. I definitely took a lunch by myself with my kindle not infrequently, but I certainly didn't go out of my way to avoid lunch with my coworkers.

Do you still use google products?

Absolutely! I wouldn't have it any other way.
