My offer stands.

Urf. I'd love to take advantage of this, but I'm hoping to skate through at least the next year or so at my current gig & then f'ing •retire•* (public sector web work).

I do find myself fantasizing about what the next thing could be, though. Something in water conservation and/or renewables.

What a trip it would be to have a job I actually •wanted•....

* Assuming ofc the economy isn't irretrievably crashed by then....

(Reminds me, I need to look at retirement numbers....)

@markwyner got anything remote? I cant go back to assembly and am really struggling with a very poorly paid remote job.

@markwyner I've been linking https://mongoose-studios.com on places like HN and stuff lately in lieu of a resume. Couldn't hurt to have a vibe-check.

@markwyner beautiful. I'm not (currently) in the design or IT worlds, but I think about the former and their intersection a LOT. In any case, I may just reach out

[markwyner@mas.to]

@cavyherd I love that you’re thinking this way. And I believe you’re not alone. If I didn’t LOVE what I do for a living as much as I do, I’d probably enjoy thinking about a new journey.

@markwyner This is super kind of you 🫶

[markwyner@mas.to]

@Gina this is anarchy and resistance. If we all work together, we weaken the systemic structures that billionaire fascists are trying to aggressively impose upon us.

@markwyner together matters because it's a LONG HAUL and we need to spell each other.

Listen… I don't want to step on the queue, but can you get me the Workday PM address?

…or some web automation toolkits, I'm not picky…

@markwyner

First of all, this is super cool of you! Thank you for helping others.

But mainly, what advice do you have for someone who has worked in the dev space (really, manual QA) and is just not on board for the inevitability of all the things going AI? I guess learning a trade and starting over in your early 40s is doable, but the scenario ... just sucks.

You're reward will be in heaven, Mark.
And thank YOU for being a saint.

[cobweb@corteximplant.com]

@markwyner oh wow, if you have any tips for a DevOps engineer that’s been out of work for 17 months now I would appreciate it! I have been applying everywhere I can and am not even getting a nibble

[remittancegirl@mstdn.social]

@markwyner What a wonderful service to offer people, Mark. Thank you for doing this for people.

Hugs.

[moss@kind.social]

@markwyner thank you so much for doing this, extremely rad of you

[cavyherd@wandering.shop]

@markwyner

I have a tough time even imagining what it would be like to love what I do.

But having now done my mandated duty of supporting myself through my adulthood, maybe it's about damn time I take my turn...?

Scares the bejeebers out of me, of course....

@markwyner Saw this just a few above yours in my timeline:

I need a favor. A good friend of mine got laid off. She's in NYC on a H1B, and being trans means she's not very keen to return to her home country! She's an amazing software engineer, with experience leading teams, working with stakeholders, and is happy to come in to existing code bases to improve things. She's primarily looking for full stack and is very comfortable with TS, JS, Python and Rust, but is happy to adapt. NYC/Remote DM me for contact details #getfedihired
