I can’t agree enough. It’s sort of like those massive paintings recreated in CSS. They are a neat achievement, yet sort of reveals a vast emptiness that exists within the author.
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.

Software team all remote, good pay + equity and benefits, satisfying work, and I love the people I work with.
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.
Sorry you were let go - especially in the current situation. Feel free to look through our listings and, if anything is interesting to you, shoot us a message.
Not OP, but I'm in a similar situation and a lover of App Annie's product. Are you hiring only in Vancouver or is the role open to remote? (US, Pacific Timezone)
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 :)
My wife is a 3rd grade teacher in the Bay Area and to hear stories from the other side of the online classroom. She's perfectly internet savvy and there are a lot of online parent/teacher communication platforms that she uses. Normally, being a teacher is pretty damn stressful and the hours are looong. But this has taken a step into a new direction of anxiety and stress.
Adding to the list of things that a teacher already is responsible with doing is Tech Support. Because now parents are emailing her stupid questions that are easily google-able about Google Classroom.
* "How do I upload a picture?"
* "Can you email me the google classroom link again?"
* "What's the login for my kid? (omg this question)"
* "Where's the thing to click on? (fuuuuuuu.....)"
The district is now starting to have a minimum of 8 mandatory teaching sessions to parents on how these things work. EIGHT.
We cannot translate online classrooms 1:1 with the real thing. I wish the district would take a breath and approach this with a little bit more understanding that this is a whole new ballgame. I know parents need their kids to be somewhat occupied during the day (I have 2 kids under 4 so I get it), but overall it's not very pleasant for teachers.
I miss the old internet, but if I had the magic to go back to 1997 to browse for a bit I'd be over it in about 30 minutes. Just like I'd be over Mac OS System 7.5 in about 10 minutes, or my SNES, or Darkwing Duck, and on and on.
The early Internet was less crowded and less commercialized. There were often local communities, organized around local BBSes and ISPs. That is what I miss.
I certainly don't miss Netscape crashing every 10 minutes, and waiting for downloads over my 33.6k modem.
Over the past few years I've built out this Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) Chrome/FF extension that shows an APOD as your new tab page. Just recently I've overhauled it with React to try and reign in the features I had built in Vanilla JS originally.
Anyway, with these updates I've added a service worker to make it load as fast as possible and in case there are others here that really love the APOD I wanted to share.
