I just learned Python so I guess [ ] is pretty cool.

I don’t know who Pro is. Why has AskLemmy become a dumping ground for obscure drama?

I miss AskLemmy being about asking questions.

I wear black GOLDTOE socks or leather sandals.

As a developer I cherish Q/A and dread anytime they would start typing something into Teams.

Yeah, by social engineering. You would probably be better at that than myself though since you can get a girlfriend.

I’m a web developer. People assume the following:

1. I’m an expert with operating systems.
2. I’m good with math.
3. I eat junk food and drink energy drinks/soda.
4. I’m a proponent and consumer of all new technologies.
5. I like (insert) TV, Movie, or Anime.

I wished I learned either to play the guitar or focused on learning Spanish outside a classroom.

Around December my doctor told me my cholesterol and blood pressure was dangerously high. I have cut out about 95% of animal products out of my diet. I’m down to basically non fat greek yogurt. I refer to myself as an involuntary vegan.

I can’t stress enough how much this isn’t about will power but exploiting my depression for health benefits. It’s easy to get rid of things if all it does is make me happy.

Edit: Same philosophy applied to quitting cigarettes by going cold turkey a decade ago.

Being forced to walk on a leg that has fallen asleep.

Never. I want to forget everything.

I gave up eating meat, because I think animals are gross and annoying. Did wonders for my health and weight. I’m still a miserable bastard though.

Lucky for me I can’t play guitar either. The only passion I got is Aztec history and I’m not qualified to teach anyone.

What technologies did you work with?

I was putting in about a dozen per day on LinkedIn and was getting nowhere. Then after a few weeks there weren’t a dozen places left to apply at. So now I do that about twice a week and look up posts created in a week’s time.

My main skills over the last 10 years have been HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and the React framework. I just got done cramming Python so I can learn Flask.

Dice and Indeed have traditionally only gotten me third party recruiters and that never ends well or is profitable.

I don’t have any other options that don’t involve unskilled labor. I’m also not a young man anymore.

I’m going to become homeless before I get an interview. I have ten years experience. I’m trying to keep my head held high and do self training. Even posting my Udemy certs on LinkedIn (I know they’re worth less than toilet paper).

No one cares.

I wonder if their c-suite considered that maybe financially backing Trump while he campaigned on issues that would make large swaths of the population lose their job was the smartest of ideas.

Trump took my job so I can’t spend money at Amazon even if I wanted to.

The answer is ‘never’. If these people were capable of self reflection then Trump wouldn’t have a second term. That’s not how cults of personality work.

I can’t think of any other options that don’t end in the best case scenario of myself being elderly and destitute.

I’m absolutely not charismatic enough to pull that off.
