The last big concert I went to was like checking into an international flight. I said “no more,” have only been to a couple small ones since and paid cash at the door.

Same question every month. They're looking for people in the third world for whatever reason and don't want to come out and say it.

Looks interesting, too bad only macos. Also laughed at “claude” as a github contributor. Good luck.

▸ Love building reliable, well-documented, and maintainable systems.

Let’s crush your issues! Cheers,

Often doesn’t matter. Fancy degree gets an interview in this job market. Not, “I read a bunch for free.”

The explosion of stacks means it’s hard to keep everything in your head at once. Lookup is routine but will sink you as a candidate.

Personally not great under the gun in adversarial interviews, so my extensive self learning is not well highlighted.

Inefficient credentialism is a different problem from lack of opportunity to grow your skills though, which was the original contention I replied to. IME companies are perfectly happy for their employees to spend deliberate time learning how to be better at their job, and this is actually usually even formalized as a written expectation.

Continuing education is recognized and required in many fields.

I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than two meters. ;-)
