Don't End The Week With Nothing
The disparity between the U.S. and Belgium is huge:I have a nice GitHub public profile. I am a capable and experienced Python and Haskell developer. I am building Reesd (https://reesd.com), a redundant storage service made of:    - 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.

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.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 :)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 ?Edit: hey, thanks for the replies!
