| Wow, that is fairly well paid, given it is fully remote, as well

| Yeah, it's an extremely attractive position. I wonder which

| engineering, physics, chemical engineering, or other degrees
| with a fair level of math.

| Have you posted in the who's hiring section? But that sounds

|
| I am just idly wondering as I imagine a gilded life of tech
| journalism (which will be a million miles from the reality of
| deadline driven millstone)
|
| But good luck to them - LWN always has the clearest explanation

| Dunno for sure, but ever data journalism job I've ever seen

| I couldn't have guessed with the way the website looks /s

| You can tell they are optimizing (and do a very good job at

|
| They don't need, and should not, optimize for other things.

| I call it FOSScore.

| It's almost a badge of honor to have your website be as
| minimal and stripped down as possible.
|
| The undefeated champion of this of course is Dan Luu

| This is awesome. LWN is one of my favorite publications.

| I remember when LWN was a small site run by one person.
| Interesting how they were able to grow into a real company with
| real revenue.
|
| Newspapers should have studied them as they grew.

| People writing about the Linux kernel get paid more than I do to

| An easily solved problem

| Should kernel devs start commenting some of the more write-only
| parts of the kernel all on their lonesome, the lovely
| documentation people at LWN would find themselves out of a job
| and enjoying a deserved retirement!

| How generous, they understand there are countries out there where
