    - A master's degree in sociolinguistics
    - A knack for learning new content management systems
    - A love of working with invested SMEs
    - A basic understanding of web dev
    - Strong boundaries
    - An aversion to generative AI?

      "High Priest, these rituals seem tedious and pointless."
      "Indeed they are. That's why we made a machine to do them for us."
      "You know we could just...stop doing them, right?"
      "And embarrass ourselves before God and man? What a childish thought. Now go back to tending the devotion machine."

            @phantasus closer to the first one
            And not just the "don't use AI at all"
            After somebody pointed out that the client could replace me with someone who uses AI,
            I conceded "if you must use AI, then test it with tests that mean something"

            they could have called my bluff by giving me the resources I asked for
            instead they left me on read for three weeks and then fired me

                  The amazing teams one could make with the phenomenal people discarded by the ai-pillocks.

                  I'm so sorry

                    @trochee one could, and someone should. Makes me wish I had literally any fundraising or people-organizing experience.

                      just catching some timeline things that slipped by the past few days - sorry to hear about the layoff. This unemployment jungle is getting crowded ... 😩

                      Boosted ya on the TL, hope there's some fedi hiring traction!
