idk ljharb I've been passively failing out for ages
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
but like I finally fucked up bad enough that I can't recover.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
time to go hunting for whatever depressingly-terrible job will have me, at 30yo w/ no degree and no experience!!!!! yay
<ljharb>
not having a degree doesn't have to matter
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
lol I mean, to some extent, sure
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
but between repeated failed attempts to get a degree, and a failed attempt to build a programming language, I'm now stuck applying to jobs where I'll have to explain a *ten-year* lack of employment
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
hahah w/e fucked myself nbd π

System/refresh-vim+ 03effd8 ELLIOTTCABLE: (new vim theme) Installing Nord to replace OceanicNext
<joepie91>
ELLIOTTCABLE: fwiw, my (perhaps obvious?) advice would be to apply for the more unusual jobs; the types where "experience with weird personal projects" is considered a benefit
<joepie91>
Random CRM Developer Inc. will probably demand a degree or commercial work experience
<joepie91>
more 'novel' companies, probably not, if you have something to show practical experience (even if with weird projects)
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
joepie91: hm, that was the opposite of my thoughts
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I'm kinda assuming the Cool Places are out of my reach, now ...
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
was planning on applying to really terrible, boring, soul-crushing shit, since there's so much demand out there? idk, Ruby on Rails web-development or something rrofl
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
weirdly
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
idk what my plan is rn
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
sitting here dicking around w/ my vim configuration because I'm not at all sure what to do w/ the rest of my life now
<ljharb>
why assume that
<ljharb>
the Cool Places don't care about degrees
<ljharb>
you do have to have a good story tho
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
but I'm also like a remarkably bad programmer
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
like the time I *didn't* spend failing at school over hte past ten years, I spent failing to complete a useless programming langauge
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
shit ain't. uh. great.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
gotta figure out my plan b b/cuz lol
<ljharb>
language design and programming aren't the same skills
