SoftIron | Software Engineers, Systems Engineers, Solutions Architect | International | REMOTE or ONSITE | https://softiron.com/
We’re building a globally distributed, locally embedded organisation that enables our Softies to be located in the place they live and work the best. Rather than plunder the global talent pool to relocate to Silicon Valley (though you can if you want) you can be where you do your best work and participate in our global community of Softies using platforms we’ve built or customised to make that possible.
As a venture backed company we’re growing and changing fast, and in some cases you could get the chance to build or influence that growth in ways not possible in more traditional businesses. We don’t just accept the “industry norm” and constantly challenge ourselves to do things better, often working at the leading edge of where IT infrastructure and open source are heading.
Various technical roles available around the world. Apply online or DM myself with questions!
We produce vertically aligned on-prem private cloud appliance. We design the hardware (motherboard, BMC, etc) and write the software (obviously integrating open source components where it makes sense eg. KVM, but also writing our own). Everything comes from a single vendor - us. The result is a cloud-like experience with no finger pointing and no shoe-horning as it was all built to work together.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll make a note to have a better less marketing-y blurb for next time.

Just wanted to let you know that I applied storage-related software engineering role. My previous position was working on a storage engine, so I think I might be a potential fit.
MIT means it's only open source for as long as Google feels like it should be (and only the parts they want to keep open). Older versions will still be around to fork from, but maintaining a fork of an OS is a pretty large task.
Android is also open source, and is notably very difficult to simply fork and do your own thing and then actually use the thing, unless you happen to be a handset maker.
My OS entirely driven by Google? No thanks, they're making enough of a mess of the web (and Android lately, TBF).
Yup, I bought that same model (to run Linux) on a long time reputation for Dell XPS on Linux and the power management is ridiculous. Absolutely terrible. Unplugged, mine won't hold a charge for more than a day unless it's shut all the way down. It loses something like 5% of battery power an hour. A buddy has one that's previous gen and it actually sleeps correctly.
Yeah, that’s the most frustrating thing, the prior models don’t seem to have this issue. It’s a shame because the laptop is so expensive, and it’s otherwise a beautiful device.
This looks like they combined the exploration strategy of property based testing with unit testing. This is not even testing, it tries to find some examples that result in different code paths. There is no concept of "expected result, given a certain input" and it does not try to find extreme cases or equivalence classes. Using it will result in a heap of buggy code that has a useless "but tested" sticker.
I think you are thinking of the use case wrong. In my work I come across a lot of untested legacy code. An autogenerated tests would be like guardrails when working with these code bases. I am not going to work with them blindly, it doesn't even do variable names yet, but its boilerplate stuff I would have written anyways. If this code gives me extensive coverage, adding test cases for specific things becomes trivial.
Even worse, I have commonfirstnamecommonlastname@gmail.com and get several emails a day that I didn't sign up for. Now the person who did sign up isn't getting them and I have to figure out how to opt out of them. Sometimes these website accounts already have payment/personal details associated with them, which I now have access to (and indeed, sometimes have to view) in order to find the "stop sending me email" button.
Always send the confirmation "did you sign up?" email. Always.
