<p>i don't know why people get confused about [confusing topic] so often. it's literally just [straightfoward rule], unless [extremely common condition], in which case you just [counterintuitive transformation] or [inexplicably different pattern] depending on [obscure property]. it's like [overused analogy] except [exception that makes the analogy useless].</p>

<p>the main advantage of the 12-hour clock display format is that it is 12:13 twice a day</p><p>the main disadvantage is that it is 21:37 never</p>

@whitequark@mastodon.social if the tech industry wasn't basically a giant scam/casino I would be saying that all the trans girls who are really smart and talented with tech but can't find jobs should just form some kinda startup, but it seemingly is only possible to be successful in this industry being a failson flimflam guy selling snake oil

<p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/getFediHired" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>getFediHired</span></a> all those posts I’ve made about what a bad employee I am? ignore those. I’m great at working and I want to do stuff with/for you for money. I do OCaml and infosec and sysadmin. I try not to be a jerk.</p><p>Current worst is company that turned out to have done an AI pivot since they posted the job description, and also had filled the position before our interview but didn’t cancel it 🙃 if you’re better, great! if you’re worse, good story!</p>

<p>for years, American animation studios outsourced to Japan. Then the later Japanese studios outsourced to China. Now, the Chinese studios are starting to stand up and make their own stories. Soon we will have Vietanime, and if they outsource to Eastern Poland, Poleaboos by 2085 🇵🇱</p>

girl who has 10 years of experience in tech, can do Linux sysadmin, devops, desktop support, full-stack webdev, knows how to code better than most CS grads and probably has like close to senior-level sysadmin skills – also can't afford to eat (this is not a begpost I'll be fine I'm just amused at how stupid my life is)
