@aral every problem I've ever had with Linux has been some variation on "I'll install this thing that looks interesting. Oh, it requires a different version of Python than I have running. Oh, now nothing works and my machine no longer boots".

I've been putting off mentioning job hunt here in case my employer sees it, but you're all literally my best chance to find something better than I can get on Seek.

I know I won't ever find my dream job, but if I don't put what I'm looking at into words, I won't know it if I see it. So this isn't me sneering at jobs that don't match, but just putting out there what I'd love in an ideal world.

I'm a developer (around 8 years of PHP and JS and MySQL) who cares about writing clean smart code. I work best when I can brainstorm and design with other smart people, and also love to wrestle with problems by myself to find elegant solutions. I'm based an hour out of Adelaide, Australia but I'm looking for remote work if possible.

My dream job would be with a team of smart people who want to build clever solutions to real problems. I would ideally love to work somewhere where profit isn't the driving motivation - a collective, charity, or non-profit.

I need to work somewhere that values internal development over external contractors.

I'm not a tech bro who thinks everything can be fixed with the right technical solution, but If I could support the people who *are* working at the big problems, that would be amazing.

@xinit @aral
The fragile person who reported Aral (presuming it was someone on the thread and not a random user of mstdn.social) is full of sealion energy. Loves debating people that anti-racism is the real racism.
