Very nearly hired my manager via the fediverse last time... let's try for a colleague.
Interested in making Firefox fast? Proficient in using profilers, tracers? Write performance tools? Count cycles? This could be the job for you!
Hit me up if you're interested.
Just have questions? Let me know.
Hey.... wanna be my manager?
Come work on the SpiderMonkey team @ Mozilla!
Manage amazing engineers that are also fun :)
Currently listed for Remote Canada, Germany, France, UK

@mwichary I think you put your finger on why it's so awful in your first post: 1) It's a deeply ambiguous permission that's very hard even for an expert to build a mental risk model around (compare to the Documents example). 2) The connection between your action and the dialog is very obscured. 3) It's very unclear what happens if you say no! Can you change your mind later? if so, where?
I love the idea of programs having to ask for consent, but the practical form of it can be deeply exhausting.

@kittylyst@mastodon.social I would be entirely unsurprised to find that out. I probably could strip it out

@n0mads@mastodon.social so I am not sure where you are, but if Europe might be OK. If you want you can send me a resume and I can run it past hiring manager if there’s more location flex.
