- First of all, your situation is completely normal for the time period we live in. A few people I thought would never become homeless (web3 engineers who used to make 300K a month etc) are on the verge of it now. Pretty insane combination of a mental health and economic crisis we have going on.
>I’m willing to work. I know I can earn 3-4x more doing freelance tech, but I can’t do that from a car.
Why not? There are homeless people doing Amazon Turk from cafes in Hong Kong.
Second, you need to focus on fast money making sources. That's Lyft, shoveling snow, micro-tasks (I help people with Solana developer questions in the Raydium Discord for example, earning 100-200$ per small script), food stamps, church handouts, it does not matter. Cash quick. You need some quick money to ease up the stress so you can focus on the next big leap. You'll get to the big tech job, but until then, you need to focus on your current reality.
- This is probably how people who never pay their debts think.
"It's ok if I am late with the bill, they will feel bad for me and never risk me reputation damage by airing out my debts".
But in the absence of a sense of responsibility or obligation, shame might be the only thing that might work to make them fulfill their obligations.
- Anyone who has ever worked with VCs or shareholders before knows that, if you tell them the reality and limitations of something, they will either fire you or ignore what you say. They have been desperate to remove the leverage programmers have due to their skill and replace us with AI that they don't have to pay salaries to. All we can do at this point is just take VC money promising them exactly what they want to hear, that they will be able to replace us with a NLP model. Sometimes you just can't save people but you can profit from their voluntary fall from the cliff?
- I've been disappointed to not encounter the hot trans girl content the comments are complaining about.
How do you handle iOS testing? Do you have VPN blocking? What are some guerilla marketing tactics did you use? I am trying to grow a community in an unrelated topic and want to see what I could potentially do.
Cool project by the way!
- Two theories:
1) This is an ego problem. Whoever is doing the development cannot handle being called out on certain software architecture / coding mistakes, so it becomes "nitpicking".
2) The software shop has a "ship out faster, cut corners" culture, which at that point might as well turn off the AI review bot.
- Funnily enough, 4chan's /g/ board got me into learning C when I was around 14. That went into doing my own small projects (like a music player in GTK), doing some PHP and NodeJS later on, and then going into a full blown freelance career. A place like 4chan having such a positive impact on one's life seems like a bit of God's sense of humor.
