I think there is still a place for books, but the age of the 200 or 300 page business/productivity porn book is over. I've often felt like they were a few pages of useful content, then 200 pages of filler so the book stands out on the shelves in a book store. I don't think there is a lot of value lost there. I use Blinkist now for a lot of those type of books, so the future is already here in many ways.

What do the green names mean? I've seen them before but have had no idea.

Location: Ottawa, Ontario

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Currently knowledgeable about Python (including Flask, pyside, and pandas stuff) and emacs lisp. Willing to learn anything though.

CV: Currently no coding experience. I'm a CPA who has always had an interest in programming and tech who is sortof exploring a career change. I don't have any formal education in CS, but I have been working on a side project with some friends of mine that may or may not go anywhere. I have experience using version control with other people, have contributed (minor) changes to open source projects. I have been using debian on desktop for probably about ten years, as well as maintaining a server. Very comfortable in a command line. I also use emacs as my editor of choice, have fooled around with making some major modes and stuff. This is to say, I'm looking for an entry-level job but without the formal education.

My actual work experience is four years of work experience in auditing companies. Very knowledgeable about anything financial. Also willing to consult if you have financial reporting or maybe (Canadian) tax questions. Also maybe interested in other finance related jobs if you're looking for a CPA who is interested in tech as well.

For what it's worth, I use this app on a daily basis and haven't found any deceptive behaviour. It's pretty annoying that now I have to download the APK from his website instead of the Play Store, so thanks for that Google.

That isn't a Japanese steel concern though, that's a steel manufacturing concern. U.S. Steel could do the same thing.

As a frequent RSS user, I don't mind when feeds use links back to the main site. I personally use RSS to notify me when a new article is posted.
