I'm a web developer with an interest in the ways technology can improve our education system, our food system, and pretty much any aspect of our daily lives.

My background is a little unorthodox: I come from an education background, and almost went to law school (I got a 99th percentile LSAT score), and ended up pursuing coding when I realized it was a great way of pairing my lifelong interest in computers and technology with my passion for problem solving challenges, not to mention a great way to build cool things with interesting people.

I'm looking for a position where I can work with a passionate team and contribute to a project that makes a difference. I'm a Rails guy with experience with Backbone.js on the front-end, but I'm also very interested by the possibilities of full-stack JavaScript development with Node.js.

Me and my wife would both love to be considered for awesome jobs!

Dallas / Ft Worth Texas | Local, Remote, or somewhere awesome | Full Time or Part Time

Megan wears lots of hats, and wears them well. She's an obsessive self-taught neophyte programmer who also does artistic nude modelling and the occasional visual arts show or children's book. She would really love to find something that paid decent entry-level wages and let her pour coffee and hang out with programmers and grow as a programmer.

Me:

Dallas / Ft Worth Texas | Local, Remote, or somewhere awesome | Full Time or Part Time

Stack: Cowboy coding for gentleman science with lots of BASIC bash and Prolog, Professoring (TESOL), Writing, Marketing

I'm an ESL professor who finished a Georgetown fellowship in Manila last year and I haven't found anything awesome in Texas since.

I'm also a writer. My blog has topped HN a couple times with posts like "A Rough Guide to Social Skills for Smart Awkward People" and "Why God Hates German Words."

You've probably seen this map I've made at some point, too: http://i.imgur.com/CK6aONG.jpg

Mark Manson called me a "really, really, really fucking good writer", and I think I'm good at getting lots of eyeballs on things.

I graduated with a math degree 4 years ago and have been realizing my career aspirations since then. My salary history encapsulates my success (feel free to ask), but I want to do what I enjoy: program computers. I am specifically looking for a position as a full stack developer, but am excited to hear about other positions as well.

Thanks! r0fls

NYC or Long Island, Full Time Stack: VBA, Common Lisp Resume: On request, or https://github.com/bcoburn3 Contact: bcoburn3@gmail.com I'm working as a Mechanical Engineer and finding that I enjoy the bits of my job in which I can program more than the parts where I'm doing mechanical design. I'm looking for an entry level programming job with interesting problems and smart teammates.
