Good. If I thought it'd be clear enough, I'd say that the second most important qualification for a role her --- after "ability and enthusiasm with code" --- is being comfortable with being overwhelmed. A typical project in my field is just a few weeks long, with just a few teammates, where by the end of the engagement you need to be standing triumphantly in the smoking crater where a system that took anywhere from 1-8 years to build once stood.
We're not looking for someone who can recite chapter in verse from the GNU Radio documentation or write a compelling essay on category theory or even take the determinant of a 4x4 matrix. We just want people who are comfortable with the idea of becoming able to do those things. With, like, a day's notice. :)
You cannot possibly waste my time by emailing me. Even if we're not a great fit today, I can tell you more about my field and software security in general. Write me anytime.
