A hired a few people for these positions so far, but I have ~15 more people I need to hire, fully remote. The links int he post are just for seniors but there are more jobs on the left that we need including intermediate and Jr.

Can everyone who is tempted to describe something today as an “existential threat,” please count to 3 and then not? The volume is much more comfortable when it’s not always cranked to 11.

The folks DeSantis crushed on his road to nowhere (Will Bunch Newsletter)
