Amunak Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 Ckey/BYOND Username: AmunakDiscord Name: amunak#4953Position Being Applied For: CoderPast Experiences/Knowledge: I've been programming for over a decade now (both for fun and as a profession), as well as running various servers (with boring infrastructure). I have a BS in applied informatics and in my career I've done most of my work in PHP (and Symfony), although I don't shy away from C, C++, C#, Java or Python (or really anything else if I'm motivated enough). Examples of Past Work: Played and coded since 2014, though with a biig gap in between. Even ran my own (Baycode) server with a few friends for a while. Previous Baystation12 contributor (PRs) Most notably I have pioneered "chat tags" / images for the various (OOC) chat "channels" and I normalized channel and radio colors at the time. I also did some major refactors for what it's worth. Doesn't look as cool now as it did back then, lol. Current Aurora contributor, and - at times - a player: PRs are mostly smaller, QoL stuff. Some of these have even been accepted Closest to DM experience I have made some Minecraft plugins and mods in Java and have been a mod of the biggest server in Czechia for like 5+ years. I like lists and being verbose. Sorry. Additional Comments: I'm very new to Aurora and as I had an almost-uninterrupted pause from SS13 for like 5 years I'm somewhat re-discovering the game and the code. I was looking for a HRP place to play a bit and hopefully introduce some friends to the game, but I couldn't help myself and had to contribute because apparently I have too much free time. I very much like it here however; the community is nice and the developers are very helpful and encouraging. My motivation is mainly to have access to the staff meme development channel to get a better idea of what's going on on the inside and perhaps being able to communicate and coordinate better. I don't have any "big project" in mind, though with my luck almost every simple fix somehow becomes a bigger project. I however do have a list with some thing I'd like to do, and every time I do something it only seems to grow. I actually tend to shy away from bigger things since I sometimes have trouble seeing them to completion, but I've been quite motivated to work on things lately, so who knows. I also have to admit that my biggest concern is that my motivation and/or free time will wear off, which is why I was hesitant to make this post. No matter how this goes I'll gladly be a part of this community, with or without a green name. It's gratifying and fun.
geeves Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 Big +1 from me. Amunak is kind and has thick skin, they're also quite knowledgeable about coding it seems. I can keep rambling on and on, but I dislike making long posts, so yeah. This has my support, I'd like to see them on the team.
Chada1 Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 They've been extremely helpful and understanding so far in my interactions with them, I can't really see a dev position going wrong, they seem quick to help others and at least so far are turning out a lot of good code changes. So I'm in support ?
Faris Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 You seem like a nice person, and your experience speaks for your suitability for the role. So on that front, you have my support. Though there is one concern, and that's burnout. You've recently become active with the community and seem to be putting a lot of work in. So the worry is you burn yourself out and end up not enjoying the community.
