Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

it's news like this rolling in constantly lately that vindicates my decision to quit being a corporate software developer forever even though it's left me without that sweet blood-soaked paycheck. Fuck these people, quit your job.

Without doxing, what do you do now? Where'd you take those skills?

[–] darkmode@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Honestly you have to be in either a privileged or rock-bottom depressed state in order to make that kind of decision. It took me years to figure out where to take the skills and even what I wanted to do with myself.

I work part time and I make music now. I don’t have solid career advice I’m just some douche who threw a dart at a college major 10 years ago and have the type of personality to grit my teeth through work I don’t like.

So I guess my short answer is take those skills and apply them to goals that serve you beyond a paycheck, if you can.
