    Huh. Maybe I will have a shot at getting a job… Oh, wait, I have 35 years experience, am over 50 and have been unemployed for 16 months. Never mind.

    I gave up the humiliating shit show called a job search 3 months ago, and frankly my last job killed any interest in software development anyway.

    It’s all idiots telling professionals they’re wrong and incompetent while blaming them for the ongoing production failures we solved and explained every month for a year but still can’t get the code past review because “it does too much”. 30 fucking lines of code “does too much”. Pompous morons.

    We’re a threat of competence, and they’re excising us relentlessly. I will laugh bitterly as I watch the soon to be torrent of fiascos and lamentations these idiots spout while still finding a way to blame software engineers.

      I’m with you, MasterBlaster!

      It sucks for lots of us, more every day, so at least we’re not miserable, alone.
