Hello again, everything is still scary and hard and the tech job market is wild right now, so here's my semi-regular thread of open jobs I've found where your work could make the world better (or at least, not make it worse)

#FediHire #FOSSjobs

Today marks 7 months of unemployment and I am very much down to the wire.

I am a full-stack & backend web developer, fluent in TypeScript, with experience building data-focused applications and both SQLite and Postrges databases.

I’m located in the northeast United States and have experience working and successfully collaborating with small, remote teams.

Boosts are appreciated. 🙏

Ever meet an energy vampire?

Gatekeeping your agency as a self-appointed authority for no reason except that they are miserable? Criticizing you absurdly based on their problems?

Don't let 'em get you down

Here's some inspiration:

Be like this harpist ( https://www.instagram.com/robyn.hearts.harp/ )

Effortlessly playing "Careless Whisper" with a blissful smile, graceful and unbothered, while being harangued by some vicious douchebag

edit: it's "Harrow Council", ty @bodhipaksa

Actually, I have an awful lot to hide.

Not because I am a criminal or a tax-evading billionaire, but because I'm a human being.

I am more than just a data mine. I refuse to be reduced to a source of digital commodities. I refuse to be valued at anyone's ad-revenue.

I have a right to decide what others should know about me. And I have a right to know what they will do with what they know.

That's why I have a lot to hide. Not because I must, but because I want to.
