>mandatory unpaid leave What does this mean, precisely? How is it different from firing staff?
Staff are still on the books so that the business doesn't have to go through all the paperwork of firing (and possibly re-hiring when business resumes).
Khan Academy is still hiring, though our focus is backend and full-stack engineers right now[1]. I hope you're able to find new work soon! This is an odd time for us. We're an online education non-profit. With all of the school closings[2], we're seeing a huge spike in traffic. Fortunately, our infrastructure can handle it, but we are still spending some effort staying on top of the rapidly changing traffic patterns.…
Always been a fan of Khan Academy, I'll try to step up the monthly donations I've been making. Out of curiosity, are you looking for any python dev's or people more familiar with Go?
Thank you!
Prior familiarity with Go is not required, and Python experience is still particularly valuable because we still have vastly more Python than Go.
I’m about to leave my extremely safe job for a tiny startup. I have to put in notice by the end of the week. The startup seems to still want to hire me and is showing no signs of pulling the offer. I think they planned on getting more funding at the end of the year. I’m at a loss for what to do. I’m excited about the opportunity but am not sure that now is the right time to leave. I plan on calling and asking for mor…

> " This time however, consumer demand is going to be probably the highest it's ever been the moment the quarantines are lifted. " With the huge number of small businesses collapsing, it seems unlikely that the immense numbers of newly unemployed (likely including myself) are going to be have any spare cash to drive demand when the quarantines are lifted.
Government is giving the businesses free money. And the newly unemployed are going to benefit from (1) free money from unemployment insurance, and (2) nowhere to spend it in the next few weeks, which means (3) lots of money to spend.

I have over 30 years of dev experience, full-stack with a focus on backend and preference for Go, and am currently in the progress of wrapping up a project with nothing in the pipeline. But I'm unfortunately stuck in Sweden.
Syllable.ai is hiring across the board. We are a healthcare company and are currently slammed with requests from healthcare syatems for automated web and phone bots. They are crippling under the demand of unprecedented customer information requests. Our bots drive down their call volume significantly, freeing up their call center operators to help the most critical information requests. Please email andrew@syllable.a…
Andrew, thanks for commenting and I'll definitely be getting in touch. Can you post a few lines about what kinds of skillsets you folks might be looking for, or what your tech stack is?

Any Junior or non senior roles for full stack engineers?

Crypto seems like the replacement for casinos gambling away your life savings at a desperate time. I don't have a beef with you but the whole crypto crapto markets really need to calm down and stop stealing money from naive people especially at this sensitive time. Lack of regulation helps launder money even easier.
Crypto seems like the replacement for casinos gambling away your life savings at a desperate time. I was thinking the same about the stock market. Most launderers use overseas bank accounts.
Crypto crapto is the reflection of a giant random number generator that is operated by both VCs and nefarious entities at the same time. It's a competition to see who wins this random number generator...

I've lost my job as an Unity game programmer 2 months ago. I've found another one working as a C#/ASP.NET core developer for a big multinational wholesale chain. I work here since a month ago. Payment is 2x better and I find Web stuff being more interesting and rewarding than game programming. Also it's less stressful and it's better to do something mainstream than working in a niche. It means more opportunities. I'v…
