GlyphStill kinda hard for me to believe that this isn’t just what “being an adult” is like for everyone

Educator and musician living in Evanston, Illinois. I wrote some Python books, but you'll probably find me yapping on about bikes, trombones, dogs, and other random stuff here. Currently pursuing a MAT in Secondary Education with the hope of becoming a high school math teacher.
@chrism Is this a monad?
JagoI got the boot this month and am looking for a new software developer job. Rust and Python would be fun, but I can do a lot of stuff in JS/TS, Kotlin, Java, even C/C++ with a bit of a brush up... Bit of a jack of all trades full stack dev.
Working with open source would be awesome if it paid just enough to survive the mortgage and get something to eat. Climate positive job or EU digital independence development is interesting too.
Hybrid work within reasonable distance from Klaukkala is a-OK. Remote probably whole of EU <3. Can't travel.
Having put this https://jago.kapsi.fi/cv.pdf up on the public interwebs, I'm probably unfit to work in any US company...
Not a techbro. Sane person and a long-time ally.
Of course, having been a professor I have a certain empathy to their situation--it must suck to be sitting there grading essays that all sound the same and which boringly regurgitate the contents of the book. Fuck that, I'm going to spin a yarn.
One advantage I've realized as an older student is having a ton of life-experience. So, when asked to write an essay on <literally any topic>, I can just start telling some tangential story about that one time I was out <doing something seemingly unrelated> and then somehow tie it to whatever is actually supposed to be discussed.
Later, when I get the grade back, the professor just writes "I wish I could have a coffee with you!" Ha!
Suck it boring-ass LLMs...
@mia If senior devs really want to relive their youth, ed(1) is always waiting. cc/ @ed1conf
@ehmatthes It's a 2019 iMac.
Okay, may have dodged a bullet in that my Mac can't actually run MacOS 26. Seems to still work.
@dalke I've opened that once!
I should move the Unix Network Programming book upstairs to the living room and put it next to Our Bodies, Ourselves.
