I want to help your team create docs and product-focused content that are so good they preempt support requests and become a significant driver of growth.

I'm currently a technical product manager, but my superpower is collecting, synthesizing, and disseminating information that empowers developers and technical audiences. Explication is my flow state, and I love the challenge of unpacking complicated topics so real people can accomplish their goals with software.

With a background that spans journalism, web development, and teaching, I'm equally comfortable liaising with engineers and stakeholders across departments, building web sites with modern SSG tools (what some call the Jamstack), and working at the command line.

I'm looking to be hired, but if you're part of an open-source project with docs I can build and/or improve I'm very happy to talk.

I'm an experienced SW engineer bad at marketing myself. I have built and been part of various projects, from iOS apps, HTTP APIs to CRUD web apps and ETL pipelines. On the ducktape hack --- perfect code spectrum, I'm more to the right, but I understand trade-offs and when to accept them. I enjoy team-leading and teaching/training less experienced team members. I'm always interested in the broader picture, how does software engineering fit into it and how I can help.

I'm looking for a high growth startup filled with smart people who know how to get stuff done.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

When I was at reddit, we did a round of hiring where we published some coding puzzles online, and the solution was the email address of where to send your resume. Most of the responses were, "I don't want your job, I just wanted to know that I solved the puzzle". I actually hit gmail's sending limit trying to reply to everyone to let them know they solved the puzzle. So I'd say, people like solving puzzles for the sa…

Can you comment on the kind of engineers that were interested in getting a job this way? Did you hire/interview any of them?

To start, let me say that I would never do hiring this way now. It was a flawed way to do hiring.

We ended up interviewing many of them. They were all very interested in the job. In most cases it was their second or third job out of college. ie. not junior engineers.

We got some great engineers out of it. In fact I think most of them are still there a decade later.

I've got no issue with you making this comment, it is a free Internet and it's nothing wrong. However I am authentically and intellectually curious what drives you to do so (i.e., spoiling the post)? Is it a need for recognition? Do you believe the post is bad/wrong and feel the need to put the solution so that other people don't have to think about it? Or maybe it is some type of "FU" to the post because you can do…

It's difficult to gauge whether or not there's a sarcastic undertone in your reply. Regardless of that being there, I'd say your active and quite intense engagement on this (arguably very predictable) matter isn't very flattering. Maybe also not in the eyes of a potential employer, so something to consider :)
