Joyful Greetings of Spring from Berlin, everyone :) ☀ 🌱 Work experience: Programmer(12+ yrs, Résumé(https://lnkd.in/gdR9mQNv)) | Rails(10+ yrs, Code Sample(https://lnkd.in/gDjpA7aM)) | Independent Software consultant(3+ yrs) 📢 📢 I'm #open to remote and some degree of in person #work with #companies #worldwide. 📢 📢 #OpenToWork As an engineer, I #care about #people & my #work. As a fellow human, #empathy is a core value amongst other values(https://lnkd.in/gQtWnJcp) that I live by. How I #intend to be of #service as a #Freelance Senior Software #engineer/ #consultant: - From building #MVPs to working on #large-scale #Ruby on #Rails apps  - I have experience with using #Packwerk, #Sorbet, Rails engines, #Elasticsearch, #RabbitMQ, #Redis etc.,   - Improving #performance of Rails apps(using #Datadog, #Newrelic etc.,)    - Debugging, maintaining & enhancing Rails apps - I value collaborating with different stakeholders(including end users) to better serve everyone - Many people have told me #communication is one of my #strengths & I’d be happy to put that to good use - There is a saying failure can teach you a lot more than success. Having worked in International teams for almost 7 years has #taught me(some the hard way) a lot about what #key #ingredients make #great #teams. I’d be happy to leverage this experience if & when needed. - Sharing my two cents when needed through #pairing, #coaching(to enable others to think for themselves & eventually be more independent), #mentoring(I have been doing probono coaching & mentorship on https://lnkd.in/grujkvyZ for a while now), or even just being a sounding board. - Having other ideas in mind? I look forward to discussing other collaboration opportunities together :) If you are or you know someone who is looking for a #human-centered programmer with some or all of the above mentioned experience/skills and if you think I could be a good fit for such opportunities, I'd sincerely appreciate your reaching out to me(via: mail4mohnishj@gmail.com/DM here) or spreading the word, thank you :) P.S: I'm open to discussing contract to full time hire roles too, however there's a need(happy to discuss the reasons transparently over a call) for me to start work as a contractor/freelancer.

New remote opportunity: Senior Software Engineer - Developer Tooling. 👔 Position: Full-stack developer, 🏢 Employment type: Full-time, 📍Remote locations: Mexico Repost to help your network 🌱 #remotework #remoteworking #remotejobs #workfromhome #wfh #javascript #hiring #tech #engineer #development #software #senior #fullstack #fulltime #mexico #opensource #aws #agile #cicd #css #docker #dynamodb #expressjs #graphql #kubernetes #nosql #nodejs #restful #reactjs #serverless #testdrivendevelopment #typescript

Companies: "We can't fill these positions with competent developers" A vast sea of developers all at once: "We have your main needs technology wise (Angular + something else). You could just hire us and we'll pick up the rest of your stack." Companies: "No. We can't stop coding for 30 minutes a couple times a week for maybe 1 month at most to help you get up to speed." All the applicants: ".........Didn't you say you have a ton of work to do and desperately need developers?" Companies: "Yep."

I wouldn't hire: - front end engineers - backend engineers - database developers - typescript developers These are sub-optimal specialisations that really don't make sense in my opinion and for what I do. We build solutions and the most efficient way to build them is 1 person. But that is not scalable, so we add another person and that is a little more scalable and we continue to add until we have the scalability and resilience we need. Those people we add are fractals of the first or on the way to be - they have a wide range of skills that cover most of what we need and most importantly, are willing to learn and play in areas where they are needed. Ultimately code is code. That is what I believe and how I have built my company and teams to operate. That is what I recommend any engineers starting out today. This ultra-specialisation is a consequence of poor product development approaches in big companies that have treated people as specialised cogs in a wheel. Then when these cogs are discarded, they have spent 5 years do that specialisation and it is perpetuated until a point where changing to do something else - even in the same discipline becomes nigh on impossible. Engineers - you own your career and it is a career of utility - of being useful - be as useful as you can be. That is all. #NoMoreBS #tech #computing

In this post, I am sharing how to Choose between full stack development and backend development. It depends on various factors such as your personal interests, career objectives, and the job market. Here’s a comparison to help you make an informed decision: 📌Full Stack Development: Versatility: Full stack developers work on both frontend and backend tasks, offering a broad skill set. 📌Job Opportunities: Many companies, especially startups, prefer hiring full stack developers for their ability to handle diverse tasks, leading to more job prospects. 📌Comprehensive Understanding: They have a holistic view of the entire development process, which is beneficial for troubleshooting and performance optimization. 📌Career Advancement: Knowledge in both areas can lead to advanced roles like technical lead or CTO, particularly in smaller companies. Backend Development: 📌Specialization: Backend developers focus on server-side logic, databases, and APIs, becoming experts in these areas. 📌Complex Problem-Solving: If you enjoy tackling complex algorithmic and data-driven problems, backend development can be more rewarding. 📌Performance Optimization: This role often involves optimizing server performance and ensuring scalability, crucial for high-traffic applications. 📌High Demand: There is a strong demand for backend developers, especially in larger companies needing robust, scalable, and secure systems. 📌Considerations: Choosing between full stack development and backend development depends on various factors such as your personal interests, career objectives, and the job market.

Software developers, what do you prefer? A product-focused business where you'll get your teeth stuck into one product for a long period of time, doing all the sub-projects that come with it? Or do you prefer a company that builds software for clients so you work on 2-6 projects per year and get some variety? Why does your choice matter to you? ---------------------- 👋 I'm Simon ⌛ .NET hiring managers use the time I save to take up hobbies like candle making, extreme ironing and leaving snippy TripAdvisor reviews. 🧒 .NET devs have such a different candidate experience; they're naming their kids and AIs after me.
