Hi, I'm Dax.
I have over 15 years of experience in Software Architecture, (Lead) Software Development and DevOps roles. My strengths lie in creating stable, scalable and performant systems with a deep knowledge of overall architecture. I am meticulous in my work and have a high regard for correctness. I have a knack for refactoring and improving existing systems while minimizing breaking changes.
I have worked with many different languages, a lot with Ruby (on Rails), but also with Elixir, Go, Rust, C, Bash and I have my fair share of client side JavaScript/TypeScript and React experience. I love working with PostgreSQL and optimizing both queries and overall server performance. I've also done quite a lot of DevOps, from setting up more traditional stacks with ansible to containerization on AWS Fargate and Kubernetes, using Terraform for infrastructure as code.
I've been working with Rust since before its 1.0 release. I have used it for many personal projects and experiments (some of them available on my GitHub). I have applied it professionally on few occasions at previous positions. I consider myself quite capable using the language with roughly 2 years of experience in the language. I'm looking for a great opportunity to work primarily with Rust related to my previous skills or more towards system programming.
I was looking to buy a laptop from Tuxedo Computers, but I've read the same customer service experience from other people. Their positive trustpilot reviews are mostly generic short and always 2 days apart, which seems like fake reviews to me.
I needed to do this lately and my process was like: Make a window/screen capture with quicktime. Convert the capture to an animated gif with the ffmpeg command line utility. Find an easy image host to save the generate gif somewhere. This was all very cumbersome.
Your process even allows me to screengrab a single browser tab. Thank you so much!!!
I have the exact same issue. I'm using a fully specced MacBook Pro early 2015 with a Retina screen in a scaled mode (1.5x) and Firefox is extremely slow to use. Scrolling isn't fluid at all and CPU usage is very high. When I put it in the normal Retina mode (2x) it's much better, but still not as fluid as using Chrome, which even on 1.5x mode works and scrolls fluidly.
I'm also using Firefox on an underpowered Ubuntu machine and it works wonderfully there though (no HiDPI screen).

I worked in a back room of a storage room of a shop in a basement for a while. The pro is that in summer I didn't get subtracted because I wasn't aware of the nice weather outside ;)
I do share very fond memories of that period like what Zach is talking about.
This setup is very similar to the setup I created at my previous job.
Instead of Ansible, I used a plain old shell script, but still idempotent. I did all the testing locally using vagrant/virtualbox. Application deployment was separated in our setup as well, also retrieving the latest application codebase during boot, but using a tgz stored on s3 with the application all the application dependencies (ruby gems and precompiled assets) already in there.
All in all I am very happy with this setup being able to autoscale in a few minutes.
There is a difference between language codes and country codes. "ja" is the language code for japanese (ISO 639-1), "jp" is the country code for japan (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2).
Wow, thanks for that. I knew about ISO 3166 but not 639 (and somehow just assumed Japanese would match Japan). This leads to the rather surprising result that TLDs use .jp for Japan yet subdomains use .ja for Japanese, e.g. ja.example.co.jp. I imagine most laypeople would not well understand the distinction and think "Oh why can't those IT people ever make things easy?"
Well, never mind anyway, because it's google.co.jp, but google.com.sg. IT people really are annoying! ;-)
