@rozina things that set you apart are often valuable to *someone*If you market yourself as a designer who uses uncommon tools, from ethical providers (for example), there’s a chance that avoiding Adobe will be good for business and bring in people who value the same things as you

@rozina this is very anecdotal, but I’m positive I’m not alone hereI use vim while my coworkers use vscode. I use digital ocean when they use azure. I use arch while they use macOSAll of those things have gotten attention in interviews

“Raised by white boomers” is the same as “raised by wolves” so far as I can tell – no cultural knowledge or even basic life skills passed down… just the constant messaging that you have to fend for yourself at the expense of others

No wonder we have ADHD… we’re trying to figure out how to do taxes and which health insurance is best and how do we know the water is safe to drink and what kind of bug bite is this and what shampoo works for my hairWe don’t have kids because we’re 40 years old when we finally learn how to tie our shoes so they don’t come untied again – any information that is passed down contradicts the rest or is demonstratively wrong“You should be able to figure it out”

It’s not that “you are unprepared” or even that “no one prepared you”You were prepared to fail out of complacency, arrogance, and selfishness

Imagine I wrote a story about someone who participated in whatever viral promotions for whatever company in exchange for whatever reward as their entire means of making it through life

If anyone wants long-term, short-term, or one-time software-career-intentionally-outside-of-FAANG advice – I’m happy to helpEspecially over the holiday breakI’ve gone from living in a truck to staff engineer, without compromising my ethics, in ten years, and I feel very strongly about helping others who felt as lost as I did and want to find security

I still want to do a game jam where you're presented with a new file format and the only requirement is that your game can use any valid file in that format as a seedIs this a fun idea?

@volpeon @jbauer Yes, but also no... a new invention in the hands of corporations is a real problem as it makes it simpler to separate the workers from the means of production, so it comes down to how it will play out in realityLook at the Luddites and then at everything that's happened since then

@volpeon @jbauer and I don’t mean to be contrarian… I agree with you. But then it rarely seems to play out like it does Star Trek and it breaks my heart and workers’ rights
