Save the Children | PM, System Dev, DB Dev | Remote | https://www.savethechildren.net/

Save the Children is looking for three short-term (6 months-1 year, fully remote) programmers to help build a tool that will help us monitor global risks (armed conflict, floods, epidemics, economic shocks, etc.). This is a cool project for anyone interested in humanitarianism or geopolitics.

We use the Microsoft tech stack, including .NET, C#, Microsoft SQL Server, Power BI, Power Automate, and Power Apps.

The work is fully remote and the team (the Context Analysis and Foresight Unit) is fun, smart, and engaged.

Come join us!

Looks great. Good work DDG!


not only that, also the people I spoke to and the feedback loop :)


Several years ago, I switched to products that are EWG verified [1], meaning a product's ingredients are safe for humans. Some of the EWG verified products are quite expensive, so it took a while to find a brand that was affordable and safe to use. I've switched everything to that brand (shampoo, conditioner, soap, dishwasher and laundry detergent, cleaners, ...).

They even have a search engine that allows you to search for products [2] or ingredients. If don't know what's in your products, I encourage you to start here to find out more about the ingredients.

I am not being sarcastic or facetious when I ask - Do you feel noticeably better? Better than placebo (understanding of course that such a question is a misnomer, but please address the spirit of the question).


I've switched everything to that brand -- could you share that brand? It would save us a lot of research.


Yes, please


When I was looking into that I remember having read (or watched a youtube video, I was deep in a rabbit hole) something good about these companies [1][2]. Take it for what it's worth.

For anyone else who's potentially interested in this, I found https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/ to be really useful in my foray into building keyboards. We spend so much time with keyboards, they might as well be customized to our needs :)

I bought a kit for my first build https://choc.brianlow.com/ and still think that was the right way to go, but some may prefer to start out with pre-built keyboards.
