Wow. doing a search for "designer" found no entries, and one entry only for "css". Is everyone on HN a programmer or business type?

Re: Ask HN: Who needs a job?
#52Graduating in September with a MS in computer science.
I'm looking for a software development position. My research area was computer networks, but interested in other areas as well. More interested in working on back-end type of stuff than front-end/UI. In Boston area, but willing to relocate.

#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's one hell of a resume.
Lol. :) Actually, I generally feel inferior in the coding discussions here, since I have very little experience with web/networking type stuff and that seems to be what's wanted/used.
The web stuff gets all the press, but there are other companies like Palantir that may be more suited for your skills and background:

Investment banks also like physicists and computer scientists for their quant trading work.

#55I'm not really looking for a job currently, but I'm interested in who would find someone with my skill set useful: Ph.D. in astrophysics, 15yr research experience, lots of coding in C++ and Python (mostly numerical, Monte Carlo, parallel computation, radiation transfer stuff). In general a pretty all-round kind of guy. If an opportunity came along, I would be interested in something where I could use my knowledge of…
This is slightly off topic, but I am an undergraduate student learning some of the subjects you mentioned in the parenthesis, and the curriculum/resources at my school are inadequate. Would you be open to a few questions? Please shoot me an email at loganfrederick@gmail.com!

#56I particularly want to get involved with any developers or companies in the Boston area that specialize in libraries. I am particularly keen on academic libraries as I think it's a great space. They need great developers (existing software sucks) and are willing to pay good money for their work.
I have 4 years experience working in Digital Library Services where I write services and web apps that interact with integrated library systems. I generally use PHP, MySQL, Drupal, and jQuery for work (this is the leading academic library web stack), but I'm trying to ween myself toward RoR and other Ruby frameworks. I also have experience with Java, C, Scheme, and ASM (in that order) from my CS studies. I've started working on a RoR project to help manage EZProxy, which is an existing, near-ubiquitous proxy service for academic libraries to offer off-campus access to licensed content, that I hope to turn into a SaaS business in the near future.

#57I'm in Edinburgh, Scotland, quite happy to work remotely, and while I have a good background in tech support and Linux sysadmin, I've also dabbled with HTML5-a-licious mobile webapps, social media toys, VoIP integration, and generally whatever looks interesting to me at the time.
Thing is, I've never done anything of the interesting stuff for money. And I'd quite like to.

Sounds like a finance quant to me... except the "immediately useful to humanity" part, maybe ;)

#59I'm in Mountain View and will probably move to SF in October when my lease is up. I dabble in web and iPhone design, program in C/C++/objective on a limited basis, and have some experience in marketing. I'm much stronger in video work and would probably be interested in some video gigs to bring in a little money.

#60I do need a part-time job or remote projects. I live in Vilnius (Baltic States). I am comfortable with C++, PHP, Firebird, MySQL, enterprise software and Windows desktop.
I love making stable, shining software. My name is Glebas and I can be reached at info@ispc.lt
