Apologies for being somewhat off topic, but I thought this would be a good place to ask. Would you hire someone who you know is struggling with depression? In my specific case, I am seeing doctors about it. But progress has been slow, and right now I'm only managing about 6hrs a day. (I'm not currently looking for work, my current workplace has treated me very well. But there's been times I've wondered if it would be…

Absolutely if the candidate is upfront about it and has a plan in place. Depression is nothing to joke about but it’s a condition that can be overcomed with a support and proper treatment.

Don’t get frustrated if you will hear no a lot. It doesn’t mean anything. Seek supportive and welcoming environment. Focus on the positives and celebrate any progress, no matter how small it is.

Good luck!

  Location: Pittsburgh, PA

  Remote: Yes (not preferred; I miss having in-person co-workers)

  Willing to relocate: Nope

  Technologies: JS, php, Java, whatever C-ish or scripty language, I've fussed with it to some degree professionally.

  Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mark-hawley-76a5983/

  Email: jmh@nilbog.com

  Education: NYU Film & Television graduate who got bored and fell back on a childhood of Vic-20s and C-64s.
I spent a lot of time in advertising during the rise of Flash ads, doing everything from making the "Punch-Out the Evil Kangaroo for a Free Digital Camera" ads (90+ billion impressions of that thing and its siblings during my brief tenure at that job) to being the Technical Director for a Johnson & Johnson rebranding. I went on to work on ed tech projects for Houghton-Mifflin, full stack engineering/"lead design technologist" for Dow Jones, and real-time system engineering for local government. I jumped on the Node.JS bandwagon early.

I am usually the person called in to 'fix' outsourced projects that have gone haywire, or the one to make the judgement calls about where a project can scrape by with duct tape and angel kisses when there's no way to get something done without a heaping helping of technical debt. Nowadays I'd rather be on a team with some new-to-me tech and smarter coworkers to learn from.

Résumé/CV: Upon request

Email: finadyfour@gmail.com

Senior Software Engineer with a proven track record of quickly adapting to new technologies/languages up and down the stack, along with extensive onsite and customer facing roles, as well as mentoring experience in the iOS domain. Halfway completed with Master's in Comp Sci from Syracuse University, with a projected July 2020 graduation date.

Combining my continuing education, programming background, and exposure to hardware, not only from the EE standpoint but also in modeling cases/products, I believe I'd be a strong fit in an established startup looking for an engineer who can dive in anywhere tech-wise, but also has a strong customer facing presence and team leading abilities.
