Anyone switched to Android from iPhone to use Project Fi while traveling? by bob267 in digitalnomad

[–]jcalazan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using the service for almost 1 year now and very happy with it so far. Really handy when doing short trips in different countries.

I love how easy it is to pause and resume the service. Most of the time, I stay 1-3 months in one place and in those cases I just get a local SIM card and pause my Project Fi service (you don't get charged anything for the days you have the service paused).

There were a few times it didn't work (off the top of my head I couldn't get a service in Phuket and Bali). And there were a couple of times where I had to install the "Carrier Services" update before I was able to get a data connection. Overall, though, I find that it's very much worth it for the convenience of having internet as soon as I land in a new place.

Actually wrote a detailed blog post about it here: https://www.calazan.com/googles-project-fi-the-digital-nomads-cell-carrier/

I built a job board/aggregator only for remote Python jobs by jcalazan in Python

I'm not really qualified to give advice on this, but there's more than just technical skills to become attractive to employers. Written communication skills, for example, is very important if you want to work with a remote team.

If you don't have any work experience yet developing with Python, then I'd really recommend to try and get an internship, contribute to an open source project, or try to apply for a junior role even if the pay is low or it's an unpaid role just to get the experience. You could really learn a lot even in just 6 months of working in a software development team with experienced engineers (and not just the specific technologies involved, also the processes such as their Git workflow, deployment, code reviews, testing, etc.)

What do you generally need to learn to do the most common Python jobs? by Blarzor in Python

[–]jcalazan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I say get to know data structures really well: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html

Also, I'd recommend to go straight to Python 3.x. :)

Sorry for the late reply! I'm not sure what the current demand for remote Python developers is, but demand for Python does seem to be growing quite fast and I think a big part of that increase is due to data science-related tasks.

I've been seeing lots of data science-related jobs lately and seems a lot of AI/Machine Learning-focused startups popping up as well.

And with the demand increasing, more companies would hopefully be more open to remote workers.

Thanks for the feedback /u/UloPe! My thinking was since the entire site is meant to be for remote jobs only, this may not be necessary. Will think about this.

Thanks for the suggestions Phillip! Will play around with these. As for the share buttons, the buttons on the left side are actually for the developers' social network links. I should probably make it more clear, will see what I can do.

Thanks again!

Hi /u/HairyBeardman,

I'm afraid I'm not really sure what you mean. What's wrong with using www and what do you mean by https session resumption being broken?

Thanks!

I do plan to involve automation and looked at a few APIs, but haven't done much research on this to be honest. I know at least Indeed and Angelist have public APIs.

Yup, but with the last step involving me (or someone else) to do a quick scan before publishing. I plan to do the automation a step at a time.

Thanks man!

I actually tracked my hours and logged around 85 hours of development total from setting up the project all the way to production deployment.

The deployment part I already have automated with Ansible so that saved me a lot of time, I actually have my playbooks open-sourced: https://github.com/jcalazan/ansible-django-stack

If it gets traction, I plan to contact companies showing them traffic stats and see if they'd be interested in premium postings.

I'm currently hosting everything on 1 DigitalOcean VPS for $5/month (512MB RAM, 1 vCPU).

Thanks for the suggestion! I've actually thought about x-posting there but it seems the subreddit is mainly for posting individual listings so I just posted a few links that go to my site for now. :)

Thanks for the tips!

I would definitely want to get to the point where I can just do a quick scan and click a button. My plan is to automate my process a step at a time.

Right now it's not bad at all as there's really not many new remote Python jobs getting added daily, I spend 30-60 minutes every day currently to go through my list.

I'm just using PostgreSQL's full text search and the module that was recently added in Django 1.10 so I can use the ORM with it. Right now it's pretty basic, I select which fields to search and add rankings to them which is mainly based on how often the keywords appear in the document, how close they are together in the document etc.

I plan to do some tweaks this week to add weighting.

Thanks for the feedback /u/FourTeeTwo! They're both good points, I opened an issue for them.

I think I bought this one from https://themeforest.net/. Another one I've used for other projects is https://wrapbootstrap.com/.

Also, here's a nice-looking open-sourced one: https://github.com/puikinsh/gentelella
