@xgranade I worked in childcare in the seattle area for about a year (where there's a huge extracurricular child enrichment culture, basically) and when I was looking for another job, I applied to a local code camp/enrichment center for kids kind of thing. they wanted me to teach vibe coding and also pitch vibecoding lessons to corporate that they'd effectively buy off me per lesson, which felt like the worst combination of part time work with no vertical mobility, gig economy undervalued labor, AND poisoning the minds of children by encouraging them to not think critically about the things i create

I took another job in childcare that treated me like shit and spat me out unfortunately but wow am i glad i wasn't complicit in that particular system. it's so gross
