I have been a professional data engineer/person for ten years. I have seen some stuff in both small and large companies. I try to do things well.
The startup I was with for over a year sadly had to let a bunch of core staff go about one month ago. So, I am currently available full time. Do you need a solid person to help with your data or related activities?
(As an aside, I also have a serious appreciation for "real hypertext" in the sense of Paul Otlet, Ted Nelson, and Doug Engelbart, in case that happens to resonate with your organization's ethos.)
IMHO Workplace was a fantastic product that filled a gap that is really is not filled by anything else today (although a lot of other tools might seem similar).
Probably, most people had and still have no real idea of the product's existence. And once people do learn of it, they still really have no idea what this kind of product can do for orgs (that is, how they could really use it).
I have to think that some of the magic comes from having an org and people in the org who know how to use such a tool?
It seemed an honest shot at really improving orgs based on communication and I was pretty jazzed about it. The remaining options are seem far sub-par in some ways (even if features look/seem similar, the overall gestalt is not the same IMO).

I am a STICKLER for HIGH QUALITY and WELL-WRITTEN, READABLE, and EXPLICIT classic-style data pipelines. This comes from a large dose of Dataswarm experience, and now a decent amount of recent Airflow (MWAA) experience. Can you tell that I am passionate about Pythonic ETL/Dataswarm/Airflow? If you need to make Pythonic data pipelines happen, at any stage of maturity (no data infra to huge data infra), I have a feeling that I could help, and we just might both enjoy talking!
I just came back on the market TODAY, in fact.
(Note: The above is fairly specific and technical, and is tailored for the chance that you know what you want and that there might be an obvious possible match. If you have more general or related needs, then my broader capabilities may apply, too, of course. Thus, please feel free to send an email if you suspect a fit but don't see it spelled out per se. Still, if the above strikes a chord, then that's potentially phenomenal, too.)
Location: Mountain View, CA
Remote: Yes, preferred (Onsite/hybrid also works; onsite could be awesome, too.)
Willing to relocate: Yes (Anywhere is great! Especially interesting appear to be: AZ, ID, MO, ND, OK, TX, UT)
Technologies: Python, Bash, SQL, GNU/Linux and associated utility basics, Pythonic ETL, basic HTML/CSS, Meta/Fb internal data tools

OVERVIEW: My main experiences in industry have been in data at social media. I had a small background in design engineering before that. All the while, I have nursed a 15-year side-saga in logical communication interfaces.
WHAT I BRING: I have both big and startup tech experience. I have done consulting and FTE work, and love both. I have a significant driving passion for technology as a potential aid for people, particularly real hypertext as applicable to helping people through IA in the Otletian/Nelsonian/Engelbartian sense.
ALSO OPEN TO (FOR CLARITY): While my main background has been solidly data engineering, I am also very open to adjacent/interesting work. (For instance, someone once said that everyone should do software sales for a while, and while I would be green at it, I would be very open to considering ideas like this.)
STORY: Broad startup layoff within past month--energized about finding an awesome fit to help out!
Oneslate [0, 1] was designed for decision augmentation. Certainly curious to hear if the Oneslate system applies to your method/software search to aid in more efficient decision making. Full bias disclosure: I designed Oneslate.
I strongly believe (but have not much to back it up) that turning nights into days as we do has consequences on our psyche and biological cycles. It blurs the distinction between night and day.
I wish my local councilmen would try to experiment no light at nights and see what comes out.
I think a fabulous night sky also makes people, especially kids, wonder about the universe, what our place is in it, and how it all came about. That's part of why it's such a shame that it's obscured for so many.
>Obviously, light pollution is the best kind because it goes away within minutes of turning off the source
Only we never "turn off the source".
>Who the fuck cares about this
Humans? People not absorved in their little microcosm? People not expecting everything to dazzle them with 10,000 volts in their pleasure centres to "care" about it?
