The application instructions mention an LLM honeytrap, but the application doesn't include any way to trip that trap. AND, submitting an application results in no automated "received!" email. Debugging brain says: maybe something misconfigured?

Hi HN,

  Location: Seattle, USA
  Willing to relocate: No
  Main Technologies: Python, PostgreSQL, more than I ever wanted to know about AWS
  Resume: https://ericabrahamsen.net/EricAbrahamsen_0505b.pdf
  Email: [email protected]

I'm a 0-1 backend engineer, most recently owning the full AWS-based stack for a small startup. I thrive best in slightly volatile situations, reacting quickly to changing requirements, staying in communication to make sure everyone knows what's happening. Balancing new features against maintainability against stability. Low ego, and approaching unflappable.

Don't forget to mention location! This looks to be on location in Boston.

I am a problem solver, and my main tools are Python and Postgres, though my programming approach is informed by Lisp (many years of Emacs contributions), Prolog (the best kind of mind-bending) and OCaml (which I wish I was writing instead of Python).

I would like to be solving real-world problems: energy, logistics, communications, governance, trash removal. It's amazing what you can find out if you talk to people about their problems, and its amazing what you can solve with a concoction of fairly straightforward data science, ML, calculus, signal processing, and Rube Goldberg machines.

It is a practice that leads, as a consequence, to insight. Insight is not information that might be read from a book, it is experience that uses observation to arrive at understanding and transformation. You can't just "decide to have" the experience without doing the work of transforming yourself through observation. People who have gone far in the practice do tend to say that there was never any goal to begin with, that they ended up where they started, but that's more of a metaphor than anything else. Someone who travels around the world and ends up where they started is in a very different place than someone who never left home.

SEEKING WORK: Seattle or remote, part time or short gigs only.

Programmer since 2006. Tech includes Python and Django, plus the usual HTML/CSS/JS. Common Lisp (and other lisp-likes), and some oCaml. Postgres.

The thing that interests me most is helping not-necessarily-technical organizations with their technical problems. CMSs, databases, tooling, automation. I really enjoy figuring out tricky problem domains, and making tools that are well suited to those domains, and to their users.
