bummer you guys aren’t in stocholm @tord ... i’m currently looking for an consultancy assignment pref in clojure/clojurescript

slipset09:01:22

@kitofr didn't I just see a Clojure-gig in Stockholm?

slipset10:01:28

@timgluz posted about this on the clojure mailing list

kitofr10:01:54

wasn’t to informative that page... I’ll see if I can dig up some more info

kitofr10:01:10

mhm found it, tnx!

timgluz10:01:11

@slipset: Thanks for sharing - @kitofr how much information do you need?

timgluz10:01:54

i can write some markov generator to add more information

slipset11:01:00

of course, if anyone was in desperate needs of a Clojure(Script) consultant in Oslo...

tord11:01:54

We're not really desperate (yet), Clojure skills are a big plus rather than a requirement, and we're looking for a regular employee rather than a consultant. Still, it's a little disappointing that nobody here seems to be interested in the job. Do any of you other employers here have any suggestions for good places to look for potential candidates?

skardan11:01:19

@tord Help to organise local Clojure community (long term)

skardan11:01:21

you will see who is good, you will learn their character and occasionally learn who is willing to change job / looking for new work

skardan11:01:00

I organize Prague Lambda; I found two projects and found very good developer to join my previous company

skardan11:01:37

Also people in your meetup will search for developers; eg my friend is now looking for black-belt Erlang programmers to join his project in London (but I guess this is wrong channel for Erlang opportunities 😉 )

ondrejprochazka11:01:59

@tord after posting a job here, people actually reached out to me immediately ✌️ this is a great way to chat with the right people so far prosper

jan.zy13:01:02

there are many good engineers who just prefer to stay in their small cities / villages. I know a few companies which hire remote employers and they don’t have problems with finding developers. Actually I wonder why so few companies hire remote developers. I spent a lot of time working on site and remotely and I don’t see any difference

dottedmag13:01:16

@tord: I'm in Oslo, but I'm moving this summer and don't like going to an office to work. Bummer.

yenda13:01:50

I agree remote is the future

ondrejprochazka13:01:41

agreed but on the other hand places like Berlin would have never become startup/tech hubs if ppl did the projects remotely, there is some synergy happening when you share the physical environment as well

kitofr13:01:05

@ondrejprochazka: agreed, but does that have to be work/office related? I reccon we have a quite nice startup scene here in stockholm as well, but I would think that has very little to do with actual office space. I would think that, given developer/programmer is the most common occupation in stockholm right now, we have a “lot of horsepower” at the same place.

ondrejprochazka13:01:37

@kitofr you're right, of course. On the other hand, the reason there might be such a high concentration of talented and skilled people might be that people relocated there because of a job simple_smile

kitofr13:01:05

im just speculating here so don’t take me to seriously simple_smile

dottedmag13:01:48

Maybe we could have a job-related discussion channel and keep this one for offers?

kitofr13:01:11

oh sorry 🚓 #C0KL616MN

tord13:01:22

@yenda: I am sure remote work will become more common in the future, but I believe it works better for some types of work than for others. And I definitely hope it is not the future, because it seems like an awfully depressing way to work to me personally.

tord13:01:33

Jumping straight to #C0KL616MN. simple_smile

futuro20:01:20

@tord: quick clarification on your posting: would PlayMagnus fund a move to Oslo, or would the new hire have to fund it themselves?

tord20:01:00

@futuro: We haven't discussed that internally, and since I usually don't take part in any financial decisions, I really don't know. I imagine we would at least be open for negotiation on that point, given a sufficiently interesting candidate.

futuro20:01:48

@tord: That makes sense; thanks.
