    I remember when I was young and autoworkers and coal miners were losing jobs. And yeah, I thought they could just retrain. It was fucking naive, and if they’d heard me they would’ve been rightfully offended.

    I’m done here. I feel like saying anything more would just be self-pity. I’m damn good at what I do, just maybe not so great at interviews. Too fucking honest. Sooner or later I’ll find the right person to interview with. Thanks for the chat.

      What part of the country (might not matter if remote), and what kind of development?

        I’m in the Midwest, so yeah that’s rough. Remote was great, but focused on Detroit right now because everyone is going hybrid. I do Java microservices. I like to say full stack, but then I start getting tested about specific frameworks and I just pick up those implementation details on the job.

          I might have some leads, but my threadiverse server software doesn’t support DMs (mbin devs are working on it). You have Matrix or Mastodon? Or IRC? xD

          Email works too, but I usually avoid posting that on open forums because [bots|spam|assholes].
