Also, if one wishes to send me a message, one must insert the phrase "kiwi fruit" into it, à la the famous Van Halen contract rider, in order for me to take the message seriously.* developing in Python and/or Rust is greatly preferred, but not a dealbreaker. Developing in Java and/or PHP, however, is a dealbreaker.* the role is either based in the Seattle area, or is remote-only. I am not currently looking to relocate.Specialties: developer tools, RESTful web services, build systems / continuous integration
