[9fans] Why not work for a company based on Plan 9?

[9fans] Why not work for a company based on Plan 9?

[Brantley Coile]

hi guys,

as most on this list know, coraid makes storage devices that use plan 9 as the software platform.  we also use it as our primary development environment.  we still run a ken file server here.  plan 9 is fundamental to our vision.  coraid has become a hot silicon valley property and we are about to start another round of hiring developers.  i knew it would be a disservice to this mailing list if i didn't make an announcement here.

developers, qa, and support folks can work either in redwood city, ca or athens, ga.  there are the usual up and coming silicon valley startup stock options.  and in athens, you don't have to pay those silicon valley prices for housing and beer.  athens is very affordable on both these counts, especially the beer as anyone who attended the 2009 iwp9 will attest.

i hope we're creating a place that i would have wanted to work.  it's not every place that you can work with plan 9, get paid for it and participate in a high potential start-up.

please send resume's to me.

Brantley,

I'm asking publicly because I'm betting it's a FAQ.  Do you consider remote
employees as a possibility, or do you require relocation?

That's actually not an answer but whatever... I guess I don't actually care.

Thank you for answering the question.  Let me explain my point of view on
the exchange.

I worked for a company in Birmingham AL for about 6 years from Seattle.  I
had Birmingham insurance, Birmingham HR people etc, but I was remote.  I
thought perhaps it was not clear if one could be a satellite employee for
one of those offices or not.

I felt that when you basically cut and pasted your response to me, that you
were irritated by my question and answering me in a rude way.  I was not
trying to troll the thread, but now it may appear to be the opposite.

I have a lot of respect for what you guys have done with Plan 9 and AOE, and
think it's an interesting business, but suddenly I felt that perhaps I
wouldn't have a compatible personality with the boss.

Anyway, I'd like to reboot the discussion, but it's in the archives now :-).

I do wish you, very sincerely, to have continued success with your business.

Dave

Re: [9fans] Why not work for a company based on Plan 9?

[Brantley Coile]

dave,

no problem.  i didn't cut and paste the answer, but i'm very sorry that i gave that impression.  i'm a pretty easygoing guy, a fact that isn't obvious over an email list.  i wasn't irritated by the question at all.  the question was a very good one.

the reason we can't do remote employees is that one of our objectives is that plan9ers have a positive cultural influence on the entire development group.  i feel such an influence requires daily interaction.  but we will keep you in mind as we grow.

in all my interactions i try to emulate the gentlemanly ways of dennis ritchie.

Brantley,

I apologize for my confrontational attitude.  It's totally unnecessary, and
I wish that I could take it all back.

You certainly didn't deserve it, and the 9fans aren't deserving the noise
I've caused by my stupid approach to this thread.

Dave,

The way I see this is two reasonable people working a misunderstanding out.
There are many contemporary examples of endless mud-slinging with no real
concern for solving problems or coming to a reasonable conclusion.

That would be the primary blocker for me, as I don't want to
leave my home country :(

Could you perhaps imagine giving certain projects to contractors
in a foreign country ?

Hello,

another one which might be a FAQ:
Do you require applicants to be from the USA, or are you ok with ppl
from the old continent (or anywhere else for that matter) ?

Cheers,
Mathieu

hi guys,

as most on this list know, coraid makes storage devices that use plan 9 as the software platform.  we also use it as our primary development environment.  we still run a ken file server here.  plan 9 is fundamental to our vision.  coraid has become a hot silicon valley property and we are about to start another round of hiring developers.  i knew it would be a disservice to this mailing list if i didn't make an announcement here.

developers, qa, and support folks can work either in redwood city, ca or athens, ga.  there are the usual up and coming silicon valley startup stock options.  and in athens, you don't have to pay those silicon valley prices for housing and beer.  athens is very affordable on both these counts, especially the beer as anyone who attended the 2009 iwp9 will attest.

i hope we're creating a place that i would have wanted to work.  it's not every place that you can work with plan 9, get paid for it and participate in a high potential start-up.

please send resume's to me.

brantley

Hi, Brantley,

Do you have internships for MS students? I'm in Portland, OR now and i
can't move anywhere until summer, because i'm a full-time student.

Cheers
