Job opportunities for people with CouchDB skills

Time to relax!

  • “For a moment over the last month, we jumped out of our water and thought very critically about the environment within which we swim. More and more women and men are starting to “lean in” and take responsibility for changing the waters.” – A Fish is the last to discover Water
  • “I hate running, but a few times a year I decide to be a runner. I update my cardio playlist, stretch my legs, and tell myself it’s going to be fun this time. And it is, for the first few minutes. Then at some point around mile three, I have to stop and walk. I turn into a sweaty, grunty, red-faced monster. An angry tomato in running shoes, floundering down the sidewalk.” – Enjoy the Walk
  • “While gaming and the larger tech industry intersect and overlap in many ways, much of tech’s infrastructure, power and financial centers, and culture operate distinctly from the machinations of the gaming industry, and most of tech has been able to ignore the spread of GamerGate to date.” – GamerGate’s Next Target Is The Tech Industry: Are We Ready?
  • “Working for a big business the word process can easily come up a dozen times in any given conversation. Depending on the individual you are speaking to it can come up multiple times in a single sentence. This is one of those words that is so overused that it begins to loose all meaning. The problem is that just saying you need process isn’t enough to solve your problem.”
  • “Mansplaining (verb, gerund) describes the phenomenon of someone (usually a man, but not always) behaving as though he has superior knowledge to someone else (often a woman) who actually knows more about the topic in question than he does.” – Beyond Mansplaining: A New Lexicon of Misogynist Trolling Behaviors
