Apparently Automattic are laying off around one in six of their workforce. And I’m one of the unlucky ones.
Anybody remote hiring for a UK-based full-stack web developer (in a world that doesn’t seem to believe that full-stack developers exist anymore) with 25+ years professional experience, specialising in PHP, Ruby, JS, HTML, CSS, devops, and about 50% of CMSes you’ve ever heard of (and probably some you haven’t)… with a flair for security, accessibility, standards-compliance, performance, and DexEx?
Oh man, really sorry to hear that, I know you liked it there. I have no doubt you’ll land on your feet.
sorry to hear you were one of those. Some really great people were let go today. :(
oh no 😢
Boosting for reach!
For what it’s worth: I believe only in full stack engineers. 🤗
huh? since when do companies not want full stack developers?
every job ad that I can find companies want everything from react to elastic search
I had difficulties getting work as a backend dev in Java just recently. Because my weakest suit is React or Angular. The market is apeshitee currently.
can I proffer https://sainsburys.jobs/ in your direction?
sorry to hear that man! hope you get a next job soon.
I’m sorry, that sucks!
ah, I’m sorry to hear it. 😥
if I can be of any help, ping me.
that sucks, I’m sorry.
We just had some engineering positions open up, not sure how well any of these match what you’re looking for: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/netboxlabs?de
I survived the cut, I’m sorry that we never previously crossed paths.
I’m so surprised, and frustrated to read that. I was impressed at the last Woo DM. Ugh… 😩
Good luck! (I was also laid off. 😕)
From my experience, if you want job offers that match your specs exactly, you just need to search on linkedin for “Django backend”.
