I GOT THE JOB!!

I'm now offically a Software Developer!

[Mark Macawile @markygan123]

Friends, when can you safely say that you got the job?

[Mark Macawile @markygan123]

@wookash_podcast Because that person is free

[signüll @signulll]

working for yourself is addictive in a way most people don’t anticipate & the stress that comes with it is genuinely difficult to manage. when you’re the principal, nothing happens without you. you set the tone, the structure, the culture, & the motivation. you are the foundational layer.

most ppl have never had to operate this way cuz they’ve always been embedded in a system & told what to do, when to do it, & what matters. aka the shawshank lifestyle. the human mind runs surprisingly well on prescription. strip that away & you discover pretty quickly whether you actually have an interior architecture or just a talent for compliance.

that’s what makes it so damn dichotomous. the freedom is so fucking real, but so is the weight. all i’m saying is that most ppl have never had to locate their own gravity before.

@wunderacle Thank you, Claudio and Node.js team!

@DorianDevelops The whitepill in this AI age is that the ones that are in the tech space just for the money will eventually bail out either because:

- they learned skills that can now be automated or
- they simply moved along to the next gold rush

@DThompsonDev Learning a server side language and SQL along with HTML/CSS/JS is the bare minimum.

[Mark Macawile @markygan123]

@DThompsonDev Learning how to code. Wouldn't be where I am today if I pursued something else.

I thought Dune 2 was the best movie of 2024 until I watched this masterpiece (sound on).

@lzsthw Learning C is cool

@DorianDevelops Nothing wrong with lifting for aesthetics
