Ask HN: What is your job? Do you like it? What was your favorite job?
I currently work at an ad agency (we call ourselves a &quot;boutique data-driven marketing company&quot;) in Milwaukee. My official title is Developer, but I do a lot of things: I manage servers, code applications (HTML&#x2F;CSS&#x2F;Javascript, but also C, R, and loads of shell scripting), research new concepts, automate existing workflows, and so much more.<p>Before I did this, I worked as a freelancer doing one-off website jobs for small businesses. Finding clients was easy, but I started dreading the same work everyday. I&#x27;m much happier doing what I do now, but in a while I want to start a non-profit with some co-worker friends.<p>I&#x27;d want that non-profit to be education-related. Education is a really important space to improve, but adding &quot;technology&quot; to an already-bloated space is useless. I feel too many organizations try to add tech for tech&#x27;s sake, when it&#x27;s already impossible to get a class into a computer lab and make effective use of that time. Educational software needs to be thought of differently. Another crap webapp that tests students is a detriment to every student that has to suffer through it. Educational software needs to allow students to explore nature and the world around them.
