Looking for: Engineering leadership position

I'm an Engineering Manager with a 8+ year history of building production SaaS platforms. I have an excellent track record of hiring/leading developers, managing the agile engineering process, and releasing production facing multi-platform services.

I'm on the hunt for the next opportunity to build a development team and take on a new challenge. As a bonus I have a network of talented developers who'd like to join me on my next venture, potentially a huge benefit for an organization looking to fill multiple roles and hit the ground running.

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…

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 sake of it, and getting praise for doing so.

I think it's fine for you to post a puzzle, and fine for people to post the solution.

In general, yeah, but in this case it was specified that it's a recruiter filter. So it's like responding to someone's post that says `myusername [atsign] mydomain [dot] com` with the syntactically easier to harvest version of the email. Obviously undermining someone's explicit privacy preferences. Not unlawful but just selfish.

a cluless recruiter can just copy the code into google without knowing what it is

A lot of recruiters harvest HN for email addresses using commercial software and blanket send annoying and useless emails. A recruiter that decodes brainfuck to get to a gist to read your bio is by definition not clueless.

Feedback fwiw: I thought this pitch was pretty cool and looked at the website/github. Website had an FBI warning that I had to refresh 3 times to read, which was eventually funny but could be much less weird! Github has one tiny project - personally I'd remove the github link from the website if you don't have significant open source to share.

I'm happy to remove this comment if it's harmful to have here.

The name is cool, and your deployed projects are great - I hope this is taken as the constructive feedback it was meant to be :)
