Don't End The Week With Nothing
The disparity between the U.S. and Belgium is huge:<p>I have a nice GitHub public profile. I am a capable and experienced Python and Haskell developer. I am building Reesd (<a href="https://reesd.com" rel="nofollow">https://reesd.com</a>), a redundant storage service made of:<p><pre><code>    - Several Docker containers, linked through Open vSwitch,
    - Web frontend,
    - SCP reimplementation with account permissions
    and bucket plan limits, and on-the-fly SHA1 check,
    - Redundant backend store,
    - Background jobs to check files SHA1 to detect early corruption,
    - Payment done through Stripe (almost done),
    - HAProxy,
    - Email through mandrill,
    - I'm working on adding PostgreSQL synchronous replication.
</code></pre>
I think I have largely proved myself to possible employers. Still it is excessively difficult to find a job without moving abroad: the belgian market for non-Java/.Net/C# developers is small. Search for a Python developer position, you'll find 1 or 2 public postings. And they will offer you a ridiculously small salary since the market is on their side.<p>When I see the perks you are offered in the SV this is crazy. And then you have posts like these to move you forward. A chance HN is accessible abroad :)<p>B.t.w. it's maybe the third time that I post Reesd as part of a comment on HN. I think it made sense to include the link in my comment; but still, is it ok to do so regularly even if the subject makes sense ?<p>Edit: hey, thanks for the replies!
