Like many I have joined the unemployed.
This frees mental energy for social media.

I love mastodon but my interest in social media has diminished. 2020-2022 just burnt me out with online socialization.
These days I spend my entire working day dealing with people online, and when I am done I just want to interact with people in person.
Prior to 2020 the exact opposite was true!
And to be clear, we pay our interns a similar salary they would get if hired full time, pay for temporary relocation, etc. it’s very big deal we treat our interns well at my company.
That is one of the reasons why I love it here.
But the one thing we cannot do is guarentee employment after internship.
Over the last few years we have had an increasing number of interns who ghost their last few weeks after finding out they didn’t get hired full time.
I had multiple interns ask me “If you didn’t have an open position for me why did you have an internship?” “You just wasted my time!”
I am not sure why this attitude is increasing for us.
I was wondering if others made the same observations?
Interns: an internship is not guarenteed employment when the internship ends.
Also your getting an offer for employment does not always reflect upon you or your performance. (It can, but not always)
At best it’s a long, paid, job interview.
At worst (ideally) it’s real world experience that school cannot teach you. Your entire experience - not just the project you work on - is the lesson.
It’s not a guarentee for employment or career. It never was and never will be.
As beginners most people crave tips and tricks to help them become better faster.
The unfortunate truth is the more complex the subject, the more likely those tips and tricks require understanding a lot of context before they are useful.
So many times did I crave tips, later denounce the tip because it didn’t work for me, only to years later realize I did not understand enough to make the tip useful.

I can’t help but wonder what zero days are gonna drop this holiday season.
Nothing quite like working overtime when everyone else has off. It’s become a holiday tradition!

Last year I responded to someone who was insistent about a feature being added that they could fork the repository and add it themselves. Their response was somewhat incredulous. How dare anyone suggest they actually write something when someone could do it for them.
