i have not had a job interview since may.

i've lost count of how many places i applied to and i know i have a 50% success rate in getting a rejection letter (the other 50% don't bother with even that) but i haven't even had a single interview since may.

what am i doing wrong

"write an essay about why should we hire you" would you like to pay me per word or per hour?

every time i do the entire song and dance for funny startups who ask for a lot more than a cover letter from applicants (which i already think a cover letter is a pain to write) and i don't even get the courtesy of a SINGLE INTERVIEW i grow a little more impatient with capitalism

people not wanting to be called cis shouldn't be calling me a trans woman either just call me woman, it's simple

i don't think anyone should be made to worry about money.

i don't want to be a rockstar developer. i just want to live with my wife and not worry about money

i'm tired of places asking me why i want to work for them and to analyse all the decisions i've made in my career. i just want to be paid to code in C. i heard low-level software and firmware programmers are in high demand. where's all the demand? where are my suitors?

i made that machine play tetris.

i deserve a position as a software engineer in a better company

to be clear i was working as a sole software engineer in the middle of a 5000+ employee company, and the software in this machine is an evolution of the software in the previous text-based models. i simply made the text-based interface graphical, but that made the whole product

so weird seeing this thing in the wild. i made that. i wrote the graphical interface for this machine. i wrote the functions to draw that status bar, the clock, the logo. i built the menu functions. everything

i can do pretty much anything with computers, i've worked for a NYSE-traded financial company developing an entire new product in their line for them from the ground up. i should be making enough to live anywhere in the world comfortably but i'm not

i want to open up a soup restaurant called david lee broth

home is where you can pee in the shower
