But, yeah, having just gone through a round of interviews I think there's a big range of quality at work in these, and passed on some companies because of how irrelevant their prompts were or unstandardized their processes were.

This is a growing source of spam for me personally and services I've worked on that have public email addresses (eg. support@), especially if near a mailing address. (Other services scrap lists of "local" businesses and sell them to the end users of the spam services.) Blocking gmail smtp is a non-starter due to popularity, graylisting doesn't help, and I haven't been able to find anywhere they take spam reports; search results are overwhelmed by discussion of reporting spam as a user of GMail.

You can get help in #lobsters on Freenode. If you know Rails, deploying to Heroku is an afternoon job; using the provided ansible scripts on a bare VPS is a day or two.

10+ years of experience with Rails development, mostly helping startups launch as a consultant. I've spoken at RailsConf and several other conferences, and written a book on Ruby. I also have significant experience with devops automation, React, Python, and mentoring junior developers.

I have availability for part-time work and maintenance retainers. Not available for strict management roles or pager duty.

I knew Nix came before NixOS but was interested in both for the possibility of managing servers. I'd have made significantly less progress starting from Nix.

I can see how Guile would be an improvement over the Nix language, but have tapped out my patience on related topics for a while.

And that's on top of how much slower it is, how it starts with a sidebar covering the page, janky lightbox scrolling, fixed headers covering the page, autoplay everything, etc. Search and other major features don't work.

Traffic counting has to wait until I have spare attention, which is also a shallow resource pool. :)

The full report plays a lot of games to produce these striking, misleading graphs, like comparing yearly numbers with total values of all future pension liabilities at face value instead of any attempt at NPV. If you're curious to spot more, the 1993 edition of How to Lie With Statistics chapter 7 ("The Semi-Attached Figure") and 9 ("How to Statisticulate") are a lighthearted read.
