SEEKING WORK - Remote (GMT+2)

Ex-googler looking for new projects to help with. Could also bring more developers if needed.

Website: https://resume.dutylabs.ro

Hourly rate: 70$/hour

Thank you for the very detailed feedback. I got that advice twice, so I will definitely rethink the landing page.

Hi all,

While browsing a lot of remote jobs, I saw that I waste a lot of time applying and interviewing. I build this website because I thought there should be an easier way to get through. And the idea is quite simple: you just create your resume once, and then recruiters looking for remote work can reach out to you if they think you would be a strong match. It is the first time I actually launch something, so please be nice. Any constructive feedback is appreciated!

Thanks, Cosmin

I've been an intern at Google in Mountain View and I used ad blocker. As far as I saw from other employees/interns it is pretty acceptable to install it. Nothing wrong with that. Google has tens of thousands of employees and Facebook is in the same range. These numbers, although big, are still small compared to the users they have, so I don't think that employees count that much on the ad economy they've created.

I disagree that there's nothing wrong with it.

If ad companies' employees think their ads are dangerous or annoying, how do they justify pushing that product onto users?

It's like if a vitamin company's employees refused to take their own vitamins on the grounds that they're unhealthy...

It’s like if a person who works in television went to the bathroom during a commercial break. In other words, totally normal.

No. That's such a congruent analogy, you don't even have to change the roles.

Google is the TV channel. The employees in question aren't content producers -- they're the salespeople who sell the ads and the engineers who air them.

It's like if those people then went home and used a special device that removed ads from the TV show.

The only thing about that device that’s special is that it’s freely available and free of charge.

Well ad blockers are a reality. They are in the Chrome app store. Using them from time to time could be seen as testing something (eating your own dogfood). It isn't the same as taking a stance against the company mission. Speaking of which, it's hard to imagine a company which has thousands of employees that all believe fully in every practice and mission of the business.

Thanks for your input, although it's not the financial impact of using an ad blocker that i'm asking about. It's whether they support the reasoning or underlying philosophy of what they work on day to day.

Do you mind sharing with us the cloud provider and an approximate monthly costs for those? Thanks!

With the exception of GitLab, i'd think all of those could be run on a single $5/mo VPS.

I run Gitea/Emby/Mosquitto/Sonarr/Deluge/NZBGet/Nginx/PostgreSQL/Nextcloud, plus a couple of my own services written in Go and Django, and it all runs on a Intel NUC with a celeron and 8GB Ram.

Disclosure?

Yeah, looks like the co-founder
