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

    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.
