You should add your email address or website to your profile, so people can contact you.
- martindelemotte 6y ago
  You should also work for a more ethical company next time. Edit: it's not a snark, just a friendly reminder.
- renewiltord 6y ago
  Honestly don’t understand why people don’t have their email address public. Spam filtering is so good these days that this is all upside and no downside.

Was it all of a sudden or were you guys told this was coming from the higher ups? How did they manage it in terms of benefits, severances etc?
- travisl12 6y ago
  The info about layoffs leaked about 3 weeks ago, which was messed up. Overall though the severence is healthy, so I'll be plenty ok while I find another gig.

Want to help fight COVID-19? Here's us: https://curativeinc.com/ https://curativeinc.com/ Here's me: maddox@curativeinc.com We do testing, all aspects. They're oral swabs, which greatly reduces the barrier for many people who could get tested: They don't want a swab so far up their nose it feels like it's scraping their brain. We build the software for the full-stack of testing from managing drivethrough sites with healthcare workers, full lab operations, results delivery to patients, integrations with cities and state health departments. We're now handling hundreds of thousands of tests. We'll probably need at least 100x that to re-open the country with confidence. Hit me up: maddox@curativeinc.com with questions/comments/anything. Software team all remote, good pay + equity and benefits, satisfying work, and I love the people I work with.

  sounds really good. I am curious, what tech stack do you use?
  - tyre 6y ago
    Typescript/React <-> Flask/Python <-> postgres + redis <-> terraform Also building out a data science team—idk what the preferred stack is there.

Did you get good severance? Hope you did. If you can afford it, I’d suggest taking a break.
- travisl12 6y ago
  Yeah severance is pretty good. I'll try to get a gig quick and then push off the start date a bit.

  It's a long tail starting back in the days of my great great great great grandfather. Back in the mother country he was tired of the same old same old and decided to travel to the New World to start anew. 300 years later I was born here :)

I'm really worrying that the mindfulness and how to think gender neutral courses will be cancelled which would be a great shame. Furthermore I fear that I can't spend time on a completely new revolutionary javascript framework which makes all the other ones obsolete. Sad times...
