My current company seems to be turning more and more towards AI and my concerns are that this will be at the expense of stuff I want to focus on, like optimization, architecture and system work. I&#39;d rather take this moment to grow my career towards what I originally imagined, biotechology, but honestly I&#39;m open to any role that seems interesting and does good work.<br/><br/>I&#39;m an excellent dev in Java, with significant experience in Go, Python and HTML5, and a degree in Bioinformatics from the medical research center at the local university hospital. Moreover, I&#39;m really, really good at working in a team, especially asynchronously. I&#39;m also looking to pivot from the role of a general lead developer into focussing more on backend, devops and security work<br/><br/>I&#39;m at the GMT-0 to GMT+4 band and I&#39;m looking for remote work! And I&#39;m in South Africa, so if you&#39;re from the northern hemisphere you&#39;ll get to vicariously enjoy my summers while your fingers freeze off 😎 <br/><br/>Any boosts or leads would be rad! But also making this post is me keeping myself honest too. 2025-06-17T13:51:26Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgw9k9324vyd7u7vp06qgrn42asvrvfuzgu5nfaun3nnykue45guszyp6az9uvgwfed597pkp6p2yvxs6fhek9nn9tj73s6xt8y397zv8q6wcs9v0 them: so you&#39;re aromantic? what&#39;s that like?<br/>me (a benzene ring): i think there has been a misunderstanding 2024-02-02T10:19:20Z
