Isn't it better than minimum wage?

2020-01-11 10:00:37 UTC  

or the Indians pushing it down to like $2 an hour

2020-01-11 10:00:38 UTC  

lul

2020-01-11 10:00:40 UTC  

It is, if I can land contracts.

2020-01-11 10:01:47 UTC  

Yeah, basically that. I have the membership which I pay for and see the bids. I've seen people bid $100 for a job worth $2k...

2020-01-11 10:02:57 UTC  

I made by own general computer repair business this month for going out and helping local shops and delis with computer stuff (old people help, like geek squad).

2020-01-11 10:03:26 UTC  

I'm almost done with gathering all materials. Paperwork is all done. That might help support me

2020-01-11 10:03:27 UTC  

computer repair is worse than upwork

2020-01-11 10:03:35 UTC  

IMO

2020-01-11 10:04:04 UTC  

i mean w/e keeps the lights on.

2020-01-11 10:04:07 UTC  

It might be. I'll see. But I'm willing to do anything right now

2020-01-11 10:04:09 UTC  

if you can make money with then sure

2020-01-11 10:04:20 UTC  

Look for webdev jobs with python

2020-01-11 10:04:23 UTC  

that's my suggestion again

2020-01-11 10:04:39 UTC  

Hasn't most of that been automated by now?

2020-01-11 10:04:55 UTC  

not really

2020-01-11 10:05:18 UTC  

theres tools, but thats it

2020-01-11 10:05:37 UTC  

there's lots of webdev jobs for B2B and Business customers

2020-01-11 10:05:51 UTC  

yeah someone selling knitted hats from their garage uses square space

2020-01-11 10:05:56 UTC  

^

2020-01-11 10:06:49 UTC  

and even then, companies using shit like shopify usually have an inhouse guy to help integrate CRM tools into everything

2020-01-11 10:07:04 UTC  

Square space asked me what my gender pronoun was in the interview lol. Sorry about bringing sjw up again. But that one was a real shocker to hear

2020-01-11 10:07:13 UTC  

Say Xer

2020-01-11 10:07:17 UTC  

Ok. I can try looking at that. Good suggestion

2020-01-11 10:07:17 UTC  

😉

2020-01-11 10:07:29 UTC  

Django is on it's way out AFAIK

2020-01-11 10:07:30 UTC  

just answer normally

2020-01-11 10:07:35 UTC  

but there's still lots of tech debt out there

2020-01-11 10:08:28 UTC  

How much sed and awk do you know?

2020-01-11 10:08:39 UTC  

None

2020-01-11 10:09:13 UTC  

How do you do a for loop in Bash?

2020-01-11 10:10:03 UTC  

Ok, so what I gather, I would need to 1. See if I can still get interview coaching to make sure I'm not screwing it up, 2. Look for webdev in python, and 3. Possibly remove some skills for jobs I'm overqualified for

2020-01-11 10:10:17 UTC  

yes

2020-01-11 10:10:28 UTC  

Did I miss a suggestion that was offered?

2020-01-11 10:10:38 UTC  

focus

2020-01-11 10:10:39 UTC  

on

2020-01-11 10:10:42 UTC  

opportunities

2020-01-11 10:10:42 UTC  

relax when you see sjw stuff at the interviews

2020-01-11 10:10:53 UTC  

You're right

2020-01-11 10:11:06 UTC  

How do you guys cope?

2020-01-11 10:11:29 UTC
