    Covid was never even part of the conversation. No one cared. You’d think someone who could mastermind this brilliant plan could also predict no one would fucking care.

      It’s not some brilliant plan. It’s really fucking simple: Provide a dignified excuse to break tradition and break the opposing narrative. The dignity of the Office must be preserved.

      I once quit working for the feds as a data analyst to be a subcontractor. Then, as soon as I had another anchor client, I kicked them to the curb mid-project.

      .dev? You’ve disposable income. Ante up, then.

        It’s not a plan at all. It’s some nonsense a couple idiots online dreamed up.

        Biden didn’t mention COVID when he withdrew.

        I’m in the Midwest, not Silicon Valley, and I’ve been out of work for four months. My retirement savings is all but gone. I’m not in a position to ante up, but if you have any leads on a lead/senior Java (or anyone willing to give me a chance on something else) dev position believe me I’m all fucking ears.

          After I got good at one thing I got good at another. My work situation got much better as soon as I brought those two things together. It took three to have control over which projects I worked on.

          But, right now, none of that matters. You can’t invest into five or six years from now while you’re worried about tomorrow.

          I don’t have a lead and I’m not sure how I can help. But, if you’ve an idea of how I can assist, now or in the future, HMU.

            I appreciate that, genuinely. I’ll be fine. I’ll find something. I’m working in picking up AWS now. Probably have to get better at a front end framework. I haven’t done front end since Bootstrap was a thing, other than code reviews.
