is there a (popular?) remote job board for server sysadmin work (esp. Linux)? anyone interested if I throw something together quickly?
Hi, this is my first potentially revenue-generating project, that I built in 2 weeks. There are still a few features missing (e.g. CV upload) but the general functionality is there - including the Github authentication. Would love to hear what people think :)
I see on the about page that you built the site with Waigo and Mongo. If you don't mind, could you go into a little bit of detail about the hardware you're running the site on? I had a similar scope site in mind (a few static pages and a form or two) and would like to get an idea of what it would take to run it with minimal issues or bottlenecks.

Showing that you tinker and explore outside of your day job is attractive to potential employers. The fact that the code isn't amazingly architected is not a negative. > I have yet to see a job I'd be otherwise qualified for or interested in list "have a github profile with projects for us to look at" as a requirement, or even a nice-to-have. Every job on this job board has such a requirement.
Nearly every job I've applied for recently has asked for my github id - at least for web development it seems almost mandatory.
That may be true, but there's a whole world of programming jobs out there that have nothing to do with "web development". There's all sorts of internal corporate app stuff, embedded system/firmware, control systems / automation of various sorts, scientific computing, simulation software, data mining / machine learning stuff, etc., etc., etc.
Some of the fonts need adjustment, in particular the header and the titles in the search bar (screenshot from Firefox): http://imgur.com/VTLLn5I Also desperately needs a way to search or filter job listings by keyword.
Hi, what version of FF are you using? And thanks for the feedback. Yep, search is on the todo list.

Hi, it's probably an incomplete company URL (need the http:// part) and other such things. One immediate improvement I intend to add on is form field highlighting - so it will show you which fields are yet to be filled in correctly.
thanks but that's not the issue. I have that.

It's management instinct to want to see people. IF they can't see you, I think they feel that maybe you're slacking off. (Of course, the manager never sees you when you write a bunch of code in the middle of the night because you didn't get any real work done in the office.) These changes, particularly in the Yahoo case, reflect poorly on those managers in my mind, not on the concept of remote work. The ideal program…
I think it's more about cultivating culture. It's almost impossible to build culture with 80% of your staff working remotely on different timezones. There are ways around it but it's just way better to see your team.
All of my remote gigs have had very different cultures. People communicated, friends were made, etc, etc.
