brousch_I failed my interview. It's really depressing how badly atrophied my coding skills have become22:01
cmaloneybrousch_: Sorry to hear that. :(22:04
cmaloney(I can completely relate though)22:05
brousch_I need to give up sleep and get back into my side projects22:06
brousch_cmaloney: No job luck on your end?22:06
cmaloneyEither "wait and see" or "You're not what we're looking for".22:07
cmaloneyThe temptation is to try to work on some of the growth projects that I have22:07
cmaloneyand see if I can make money from that22:08
cmaloneybut the reality is I need income22:08
cmaloneysooner than later22:08
cmaloneyso I'm caught between finding something that I want to do and whoring myself out for money22:09
brousch_Yeah, you have less flexibility than I do in choosing22:10
brousch_What are you looking for?22:11
cmaloneyYeah, and nobody but myself to blame for it. :)22:11
cmaloneyIdeally? A fat wallet in the street with no strings attached22:11
cmaloneyRealistically? Somewhere remote that will allow me to develop22:12
cmaloneyin Python22:12
cmaloneyWhat I'll likely find? Somewhere that does something devops22:13
brousch_Quite a bitnof devops out there22:15
cmaloneyWhat I dread? Heading back to the automotive companies with hat in hand and soul ready to suck22:15
cmaloneyYeah22:15
brousch_I agree devops is kind of bleh. It's just ops with a new name since22:16
cmaloneyyeah, and I don't want to do on-call administration22:17
brousch_Ug22:17
cmaloneybrb, dinner.22:18
brousch_There is a lot of remote Python drv work. I see it on stackoverflow jobs22:18
cmaloneyYeah, but there's also a lot that requires Javascript, which is another weakness23:14
cmaloneyI've been on Stack Overflow Jobs for a lot of my search23:15
brousch_Fucking JavaScript23:31
brousch_Yeah pure python is really hard to find23:32
jrwrenthere is only polyglot. you can accept this or you can live in denial.23:32
brousch_This is true23:33
brousch_Even pure python will have make or bash23:33
brousch_But JavaScript is such an especially filthy mess23:34
cmaloneyI don't mind polyglot. I enjoy languages23:38
cmaloneybut Javascript really grinds my gears23:38
cmaloneyIt's like someone took "make it like English" a little too far and only focused on making a muddled mess of exceptional cases.23:40
brousch_I plan on biting the JavaScript bullet23:43
brousch_I have plenty of web side projects (Django) to justify it23:46
brousch_I'm 18% through JavaScript the Good Parts23:55
