Every time I try nobody will work with me. I applied to like, fifty different jobs, and nobody interviewed me! Sheesh, guess they don't want me. FIFTY JOBS. Entry level. Beginner programmer. ah well. I guess they confused someone who would work for 40,000$ per year with someone who was 1/3rd as useful as someone who deserved 120,000$ per year. I'd love to get experience. I'm sure I'd feel significantly differently with as much. Perhaps I'd even decide that programming professionally isn't for me, which would feel... quite defeating who can say. Not I, for I have not experienced it. Though I will say my time in hardware taught me that I'm fragile and can't work too much. Like a scalpel that dulls when used consistently, I am a scalpel that gets no practice... Is that really useful at all? who can say. Not I, for I have not experienced it. Though I do like writing logical machines. Laying out data. Picturing structures. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┘ --- #5 fediverse_boost/4925 --- ◀─╔══════════════════════════[BOOST]═══════════════════════════──────────────────╗ ║ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ still waiting to find the energy and headspace to write an irritated blog post about why the fact that most toolchains are like 80% of the learning curve for those who are just getting into programming (especially on windows) │ ║ ║ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ╠─────────┐ ┌───────────╣ ║ similar │ chronological │ different ║ ╚═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────┴───────╝─▶ --- #6 fediverse/1201 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────── @user-883 it's cool.
