Hey, are you interested in web tech and experienced in C++? We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer for my team.

This position is to build security features and architecture improvements. These will reduce the attack surface for enterprise users (but no enterprise/B2B experience required).

Remote in Europe, where Mozilla can hire (SE, UK, FR, DE, FI, BE, ES, NL) or in our office/co-working spaces in Berlin/Paris/London.

Die Sondierungen für eine Berliner Regierungsbildung sind noch nicht abgebrochen. Aber die Linkspartei ist der SPD und den Grünen schon so weit entgegengekommen, dass man nur noch fragen kann: Was wollt ihr eigentlich noch? 👉️ https://taz.de/!6221494/

Im Späti läuft immer laute Junge-Leute-Musik. Rap oder so, nicht mein Ding. Schlimmer aber: wild unterbrochen durch YouTube Werbung. Erstmal Firefox mit uBlock Origin empfohlen 😛

I knew that the GVB uses square colour figures for its tram lines. But did you know that each bus line in #Tübingen has its own symbol? I didn't.

Web developers! Do you use html forms? Do you let forms submit or just use them for UI and call fetch()?

Don’t use forms? Tell me why. Do? Tell me what’s painful. Let’s see if we can fix it!
