DDR is not Dance Dance Revolution.
Would highly recommend. Worked with Vult for years, on Wesnoth and on Frogatto, a sister project from some of the same folk who did Wesnoth.
So, uh, I'm now one of the leads of Frogatto and boy howdy could I use a job too after a recent mass staff reduction at my day job.
Odd, I couldn't report it as a false positive the first time either, but then I tried again with dev tools open and it worked.

Friendly, people-focused developer looking for a new opportunity with interesting people. Self-driven, detail focused. High tolerance for weirdness and non-standard environments. Writes documentation.
Previous experience includes firmware and API for high speed cameras; indie games; triple-a game development; and some web stuff.
Yikes - we were rocking $23 in electricity for a 5-room flat here in Canada a few years ago.
This is why we've started integrating SIM chips into TVs. :3

So, let's say you didn't want to buy my cheap TV. Market's full of TVs. Hardly a trouble to pick another brand, eh? I just give the consumer what they want, and what they want is a cheap TV. We show ads, that's why the TV's cheap. Best way we've found to cheapen a TV. Don't want ads? Don't buy the cheap TV. And yet, people buy the cheap TV and complain about the ads. We're not responsible for your choice, we just gave you what you voted for with your wallet.
Mm, over the years, I've known some people who were legitimately kinda dumb. One learned, at the tender age of 27, that flamingos weren't mythical a la dragons. On the other hand, I've known some people who were absolutely brilliant.
You might as well argue everyone can run the same speed for the same amount of time. If you haven't observed this yourself, I would think you've probably just travelled through life in very homogeneous social circles.
I've made my own (in a few incarnations) for my own website. I should do a writeup some day, I made my own Make and everything. I figure I'm at about 2 posts per technological revision, but given that's sort of why it's there I'm fine with it.
I agree with that.
My class-based solutions are more prone to failure than other solutions I've used before. It always gets more complex than it should.
Same here! I'd have done very well with an apprenticeship vs schooling, I feel, but it was never really an option for me. Although… I guess all that open-source software I helped with kind of was an apprenticeship in the end. Hm.
The article mentions a few near the end, I think.
Conversely, what problem would it solve?
What about web workers, service workers, web assembly threads..?
I added a little test for this to my blog, based on Facebook's function. https://ddr0.ca/blog-posts/11.Graphics_Card_Test.html
So far, the only things which haven't reported my graphics card to me are the Tor browser (good), KHTML (good, but probably because it doesn't support WebGL), and Lynx (of course, no js). Firefox reported much less info than Chrome did.
Actually it's cheaper this way, because you can sell the NFT to fund the operation. Before, you had to pay for everything it ran on!
I've been looking for work recently, and I've found I've been getting a very good callback rate compared to some of my peers. I assume it's because I write a good, customized cover letter for each application, sometimes going over the posting point-by-point. But I never know when people read them, I only get feedback about 1-2% of the time. I think that is why many may start with "I know no one will read this"...

I am a skilled human-oriented developer.
Technically, every server I run is an extremely localized meteor detector. The rate of false positives is horrendous, though…
The application link is requires a freshworks.com password I do not have and can not register for.

Hah, this is kind of brilliant. Hiding in plain sight…

I am open for contract or hire.
I don't think there is. It's just… dumb and amusing. Not all artists' work bear close examination for hidden meaning.
Au contraire. A developer with integrity will become a senior with integrity, and when you're dealing with people -- which you will be if you are not already -- you get a reputation for being fair and just. People will not deal anywhere near as favourably if you have a reputation for displaying a severe lack of integrity.
I don't drink coffee. Or tea. Or energy drinks. I get me enough sleep, such that I'm waking up naturally before work, and then I just… do it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Steam remote streaming did something similar, while on the road with my laptop it presented me with my Kubuntu login screen... so I logged in, fine... and now my computer at home is sitting unlocked and unsecured.
