[22:01] <brousch_> I failed my interview. It's really depressing how badly atrophied my coding skills have become
[22:04] <cmaloney> brousch_: Sorry to hear that. :(
[22:05] <cmaloney> (I can completely relate though)
[22:06] <brousch_> I need to give up sleep and get back into my side projects
[22:06] <brousch_> cmaloney: No job luck on your end?
[22:07] <cmaloney> Either "wait and see" or "You're not what we're looking for".
[22:07] <cmaloney> The temptation is to try to work on some of the growth projects that I have
[22:08] <cmaloney> and see if I can make money from that
[22:08] <cmaloney> but the reality is I need income
[22:08] <cmaloney> sooner than later
[22:09] <cmaloney> so I'm caught between finding something that I want to do and whoring myself out for money
[22:10] <brousch_> Yeah, you have less flexibility than I do in choosing
[22:11] <brousch_> What are you looking for?
[22:11] <cmaloney> Yeah, and nobody but myself to blame for it. :)
[22:11] <cmaloney> Ideally? A fat wallet in the street with no strings attached
[22:12] <cmaloney> Realistically? Somewhere remote that will allow me to develop
[22:12] <cmaloney> in Python
[22:13] <cmaloney> What I'll likely find? Somewhere that does something devops
[22:15] <brousch_> Quite a bitnof devops out there
[22:15] <cmaloney> What I dread? Heading back to the automotive companies with hat in hand and soul ready to suck
[22:15] <cmaloney> Yeah
[22:16] <brousch_> I agree devops is kind of bleh. It's just ops with a new name since
[22:17] <cmaloney> yeah, and I don't want to do on-call administration
[22:17] <brousch_> Ug
[22:18] <cmaloney> brb, dinner.
[22:18] <brousch_> There is a lot of remote Python drv work. I see it on stackoverflow jobs
[23:14] <cmaloney> Yeah, but there's also a lot that requires Javascript, which is another weakness
[23:15] <cmaloney> I've been on Stack Overflow Jobs for a lot of my search
[23:31] <brousch_> Fucking JavaScript
[23:32] <brousch_> Yeah pure python is really hard to find
[23:32] <jrwren> there is only polyglot. you can accept this or you can live in denial.
[23:33] <brousch_> This is true
[23:33] <brousch_> Even pure python will have make or bash
[23:34] <brousch_> But JavaScript is such an especially filthy mess
[23:38] <cmaloney> I don't mind polyglot. I enjoy languages
[23:38] <cmaloney> but Javascript really grinds my gears
[23:40] <cmaloney> It's like someone took "make it like English" a little too far and only focused on making a muddled mess of exceptional cases.
[23:43] <brousch_> I plan on biting the JavaScript bullet
[23:46] <brousch_> I have plenty of web side projects (Django) to justify it
[23:55] <brousch_> I'm 18% through JavaScript the Good Parts
