With over 15 years of experience, I'm a software engineer and technology leader specialized in building and scaling distributed systems and data-driven applications. Throughout my career, I've held roles in startups, scale-ups and larger corporations within sectors such as healthcare, finance, entertainment and gaming. My strength lies in deconstructing complex technical challenges, streamlining processes and managing technical debt, ensuring teams and technologies I lead are both innovative and efficient. My diverse background and proven leadership skills equip me to drive projects to success in any dynamic environment.

This is the state of modern AI. Mostly it's still utter garbage.

Well, there was a bug in my data migration/cleanup script for tags. Thanks for catching.

The 'curated collection' statement means 'there is no adult or NSFW' content. AI does great job with detecting nudity, and as a pragmatic person I decided to keep all scraped adult content and have it served at https://nudes.best/

Sure, why not. I scrape multiple Russian websites with photos and annotate pics with https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-service...

Surprisingly MS does much better than Google and their https://cloud.google.com/vision/

I tried both and got frustrated with almost random results from Google.

That's the first thing in my todo list. Thanks for clarifying.

Launched a Meteor-only job board and developer profile listing: https://www.meteorgigs.io

I could agree about prospective juniors with extremely low rates. But, a SUPER DUPER FULL-STACK DEVELOPER with a decade of experience for $20/hr doesn't make much sense. Most probably he has no idea what he's doing. His communication skills and the results of his work won't be impressive.

A freelance marketplace is always full of cheap and mindless people who are not able to deliver anything. They place random bids and produce crap.

Unfortunately most of clients don't realize that it's not possible to get a quality work for $20 per hour or even less. They get frustrated and disappointed in a whole idea of hiring a freelancer.

P.S. If you need a reliable person for your Python or Javascript work – just drop me a line ;-) http://careers.stackoverflow.com/msamoylov
