<Cadey> Hello! Thank you for visiting my website. You seem to be using an ad-blocker. I understand why you do this, but I'd really appreciate if it you would turn it off for my website. These ads help pay for running the website and are done by Ethical Ads. I do not receive detailed analytics on the ads and from what I understand neither does Ethical Ads. If you don't want to disable your ad blocker, please consider donating on Patreon or sending some extra cash to xeiaso.eth or 0xeA223Ca8968Ca59e0Bc79Ba331c2F6f636A3fB82. It helps fund the website's hosting bills and pay for the expensive technical editor that I use for my longer articles. Thanks and be well!

New Site Feature: Signal Boosting

Read time in minutes: 2

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, people have been losing their jobs. In normal times, this would be less of an issue, but in the middle of the pandemic, HR departments have been reluctant to hire people as entire companies suddenly switch to remote work. I feel utterly powerless during this outbreak. I can only image what people who have lost their job feel.

I've decided to do what I can to help. I have created a page on my website to signal boost people who are looking for work. You can find it at /signalboost. If you want to be added to it, please open a GitHub issue, contact me, or open a pull request to signalboost.dhall in the root.

The schema of this is simple:

Person::{ Name = "Nicole Brennan"
        , Tags = [ "python", "go", "rust", "technical-writing" ]
        , GitLink = "https://github.com/Twi"
        , Twitter = "https://twitter.com/TwitterAccountNameHere"
        }

This will create a grid entry on the site that looks like this:

Nicole Brennan

python go rust technical-writing

GitHub - Twitter

I've also changed my footer to point to this page for the forseeable future instead of linking to my Patreon. Thank you for reading this and please take a look at the people on /signalboost.

Be well.
