Good morning

Our job posting is finally out, have a look at #remote-jobs if you're curious 🙂

Are you able to give any more clarity on the UK issue?

morning

Perhaps I should in the job post. It's a GDPR issue, perhaps we're overly sensitive right now about it since we are undergoing a process to get a certification.

I've replied to the job posting with a short summary of the situation.

It's super annoying for me because UK has a big pool of developers that I would like to be able to tap, but I was advised caution. I didn't want to write just EU/EEA because this actually excludes UK from consideration completely.

We had the same discussions with our lawyers too, since we have offices in the UK and in Europe.

Their view (and IANAL) is that it would insane for the UK to unilaterally withdraw as they would loose all that juicy financial dealings that London adores.

So, whilst possible, it's extremely highly unlikely

money rules the roost!

I thought that GDPR was going to continue to apply in the UK (although that doesn't address the issue of what will happen in the future)

The UK had adopted GDPR into their Data Protection Laws

So, whilst the UK is not bound by anything new that the EU does to the GDPR rules, they would be supar dooper incentivised to keep equivalency to ensure that sweet sweet money keeps flowing

Yeah that's my understanding too, it would make no sense to relax the rules. But recently many things that make no sense did happen 😞

For instance, if the EU was to modify the GDPR so you had to sign away the rights of your first born to Ursula von der Leyen, I'm pretty sure the UK would find a way to follow suit...

Our clients are corporate, and they go contracts through a fine-grained comb. Such an annoying thing, GDPR is actually pretty well intentioned.

Another question: what do you consider to be a "short CV"? 1 page? 2 pages?

everything up to 4 pages is fine 😄 I will remove the "short" qualifier.

Good morning friends. Need your supporting thoughts now, because I am about to speak at a meetup (about Clojure to Javascripters) and feeling first hand that I have a nervous system. 😄 ❤️

You can do it buddy!

You’ll be great!

w00t! Go @pez!

break a leg

knock 'em dead

❤️

Hurray! You got it!

🤞

👍 go for it!

Thanks, friends! Your thoughts helped tremendously. All went well. Lots of questions and curiousity ensued. Didn’t get to show a third of what I had intended to show, even though people stayed for double the time than scheduled. This was partly due to how hard it is to estimate where live coding takes you, but mostly because of super relevant questions.

Bonus points was that Joakim Tengstrand, of Polylith fame, was there even though it was this beginner’s workshop setting. 😃

Congrats!
