<![CDATA[I'm a software developer and sysadmin who could really use being #fedihired.]]>I'm a software developer and sysadmin who could really use being .

What I'd really like to do is Rust, but once you ignore the dubious crypto and AI stuff, there seems to be nothing out there. Prove me wrong with a counterexample!

I've spent decades fixing Enterprise mudballs mostly written in . If you've got a crufty legacy system that everybody else is too scared to touch, I'm your man. I love fixing stuff like that.

I've also done commercial , , /#C++, and although I don't usually admit it on my CV but these are now Trying Times when everything is on the table, even (the longest six months of my life).

Perl naturally leads into Unix system administration and infrastructure. I've built and maintained mail clusters, VoIP systems, network monitoring, DNS management platforms, that sort of thing. If it's non-sexy but something which needs to be done, I'm there.

Available immediately, for contract or permie, onsite in Amsterdam/Randstad or remote to anywhere.

Drop me a private mention or mail peter@mooli.net if you have or know of something.

Unless you can look over the fact that they help ICE fill the US concentration camps, to name just one of their crimes. But then you don't have good ethics.

They’ve even replaced some older GDI code with Rust implementations. They’re not going to rewrite everything, that would be kind of nuts, but they’ve done some work.

Just a moment...

But if you're not in Germany, these positions are probably harder to get into...
Although from Amsterdam, I wouldn't be so sure... maybe some of these companies would hire from there...

My own team uses Rust a lot, but we don't have an office in Amsterdam at the moment. You can try and check other teams though.
