Why, instead, do you shut them in a dark room, alone with a stranger, to talk about things that make them sad?

FWIW, this isn't really how therapy goes. At least from my CBT experiences, its a few minutes of talking about what we're currently struggling with, then decoding those topics to learn how we distort our experiences and memories towards the negative / stressful.

Then usually the "homework" would be small actionable steps to build up habits to become aware of these distortions, as well as habits to make other healthy choices.

Not discounting Andrew's story one bit, just putting a bit more light on what modern therapy aims towards.

Location: Seattle

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Virtualized Automation (AWS, Linux, Puppet, Jenkins, etc) for web applications (I have experience with nodejs, rails, php, python, and java)

I'm potentially leaving a full time gig and looking for a short term contract.

I'm a devops / systems engineer with a ton of AWS and puppet experience. My main responsibilities of late have been migrating huge production applications out of a traditional hand built datacenter environment into a fully automated and autoscaled AWS environment, as well as being a lead on the architecture of brand new environments for new projects.

I'm interested in finding something short term, where I can jump in and quickly start adding value.

SEEKING WORK: Seattle / Remote

I'm potentially leaving a full time gig and looking for a short term contract.

I'm a devops / systems engineer with a ton of AWS and puppet experience. My main responsibilities of late have been migrating huge production applications out of a traditional hand built datacenter environment into a fully automated and autoscaled AWS environment, as well as being a lead on the architecture of brand new environments for new projects.

I am largely self managed and independent, and I pride myself on thorough information discovery prior to building anything. I also complete projects with excellent documentation.

Some bullet points:

- 12 year career in building and supporting production web applications

- 8 years experience on AWS

- 3 years experience with puppet

- Wearing a developer hat, I have also built production stable applications in rails, php, and nodejs

- At my current job, I am a lead engineer on supporting our flagship products supporting $100MM+ revenue

- In 3 years I have built, automated, and/or maintained upwards of 110 separate production environments

- In general, I don't maintain an ego, I don't add risk by way of over-confident planning, and I am huge on transparency and documentation.

That's a brief introduction. Contact me if this sounds like what you are looking for and I can send you a resume. I'm interested in finding the right fit, where I can jump in and quickly start adding value.

SSH Tricks 15 years ago

I have a lot of machines I regularly connect to. Parsing the known_hosts file and adding to my shell's tab completion was a nice timesaver. Here's the line from my .bash_profile

complete -W "$(echo `cat ~/.ssh/known_hosts | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | sed -e s/,.*//g | uniq | grep -v "\["`;)" ssh
