About CameronBarre

Hi there, I'm Cameron. My background is in software development, but I'm interested in just about everything.

I typically work with Clojure in the realm of data engineering, in addition to being a team leader.

I'm starting an economics themed project, more on that soon.

I am open to helping, and learning from, others.

Reach out for any reason and to continue discussions by putting the c back in ameron.barre.consulting@gmail.com :-)

- Cameron

    Cult is the right word for it. I went to a meeting once, met the leader, and it was fascinating. I caught every bit of the psychological warfare in play. Shortly after, I realized …

    Like a-saleh says, about 'building your case', you want to position yourself such that it's undeniable you are producing more value with your time. Point out that there has plainly…

    Maybe you should try to find an opportunity that isn't dependent on what you're bumping up against repeatedly.

    Face to face? None. I've never met anyone I've worked with or work for at my current gig in person and I am well over three years in on it. There is no point in arguing that face t…
