Job hunting sucks
-
I have a job. I know the devil I work for, and it's not really bad, just dull, boring, broken promises, management that is interested in coin rather than dragon slaying adventures, and if there are adventures, one is given rusty swords, rotting armor, no share in the loot and leveling up is just not going to happen. So the usual. Looking at what's out there, it's pretty much the same dungeons, the same monsters, the same jarls and kings, the same materialistic gods that everyone prays to. I'm an anachronism. I miss the days of startup companies doing crazy stuff that are looking for crazy people like me. I want to work for/with someone that is sailing past "there be dragons here." I'm hopeless in what I want, and I'm hopeless in what I'll find.

Soft cuddly ones, but they are ferocious nonetheless. If your interested in dot-net 6 (C#), Angular, something called micro services, Azure, and one line requirement documents, drop me a message.

Yes, working at a startup was probably one of the most 'fun' jobs I've had. 12-14 hour days, 6-7 days a week and it was still fun. I was just unlucky enough to join the startup about a year before the big DotCom crash! If you can't find adventure, I'd recommend trying to find a job where you'll learn something new and different from what you know. I was luckily enough to find a job were I could learn a fair amount of DSP. Something I'd never have thought I'd really like, but did.
I am probably the most irrelevant person here as I still use Visual FoxPro (but keep reading!) I am retired but had a problem with a local council department. I asked them some questions and then wrote a simple system (maybe 40 hours coding) to obviate their problems that "there was no way round" and gave them a demo on my ancient laptop. They were open mouthed at the result and are looking to see if they can somehow get a separate laptop to install it on as "they would never allow it on their network". It should save them hours of boring paperwork per week. SO I got some satisfaction from that, although I didn't do it for money, I might get a reduction in the bills for the junior football club I am treasurer for. Alan

The company I work for has been the best company since I’ve been a SE. I spent almost 2 years on internal tooling (which I volunteered for between projects, and which I very much got to do what I wanted to do).
