I guess I'm an LLM then. I've been referring to the structure of types as "shape" for more than a decade and so have plenty of others

There's a reason Where 2 -> Google Maps happened in Sydney. The sheer number of one-way roads combined with the imposition of the harbour and the messy tunnel system make internalising Sydney navigation a life-long endeavour

Cloudflare are neck deep in v8 as their js runtime of choice. I doubt they'll be looking for another any time soon

Not op, but in my case a lifetime of colourblindness has desensitised me to colour as an indicator.

I have my editor configured with zero highlighting for keywords and syntactic elements. Admittedly, I have compilation/lint/syntax/type check errors set to invert the erroneous block, black background white text.

Syntax and keyword highlighting is just noise given I’ve been trained by decades of colourblind unfriendly interfaces

8 yoe, ex-hyperscaler backend engineer with a focus on cloud developer tooling, PaaS implementation and distributed system modelling/simulation R&D. I have too much experience planning and executing complex zero downtime migrations, and the ops chops that come along for the ride.

Ideally looking for a position working in Rust, Clojure or Elixir (har har the HN trifecta) on PaaS infrastructure or developer tooling, but open to anything vaguely web backend.

Please do not contact me for blockchain positions.

Some acquisitions at FAANG I’m at have carve outs with legal and finance for docker desktop. Originally internal projects are all on internal tooling for compliance reasons
