Indeed; and I tend to think of visiting HN, Reddit etc as like going to visit my kids/grandkids. They've grown so much!

To continue the analogy...do you feel that /. is wasting away, or is it just attracting a different demographic these days?

Why is that? I've been reading it for years (given at a high threshold) and it seems like the same old slashdot to me. It's also a great deal friendlier place than this one.

If I had that background, I'd probably be most interested in some kind of political/activism startup (e.g. Votizen), or some kind of project/funding startup (e.g. Kickstarter). Presumably there are non-competes to make starting "unslashdotted.org" or something a no-go, and I don't think I'd want to after working on one from 1997-2011.

Rob -- you're like Superman. Could Superman have a resume? Seems like you'd just give them a card that said "I'm f*cking CmdrTaco, damnit!" (The reference here is to a famous fake letter said to be from Sean Connery to Steve Jobs http://www.exophrine.com/2011/06/sean-connery-to-steve-jobs-... ) Seriously, it brings up a good point. If you have lots of name recognition, what's the best way to look for work? I'd sugges…

I greatly prefer Norvig's resume:

Tons of amazing feats with lots of details while still feeling normal and pleasant.

Well, I wasn't the CEO, so I was always on someone's team.

Oh Rob, being a long time /. reader, I know you'd ban someone's account to Hades if they did on /. what your doing here. Just sayin.

Notice that my resume isn't ON Slashdot!

Oops, apparently I offended some of your fans.

How many people were working for slashdot if I may ask?

Not really a lot of relevant experience. Would like to see some Hadoop or heck, even some C#. Let's talk again in a year or two.
