That’s curious because I find I rewatch more movies than ever before, since it’s so easy to find them, and I already know whether I like them or not.

Hey thank you for commenting on this. It lets me do a tiny lil soapboxing here for just one second hehe:

I wish people did it more often, but I do find the fedi in general good for accessibility (Mastodon community seems especially good at captioning).

I don’t want to shame anyone, but I have been trying to cook up a series of memes to encourage this community (and others) to alt up their images.

You gotta have the “XxX” at the end too for the symmetry!

After I stopped caring about having a unified online persona, I just picked random names everywhere. Sometimes I’ll just drop a name that doesn’t fit anymore.

Feels so freeing. Like this is my at work account. When I hand in my work laptop, it’s gone.

How many years experience? It took me a few years before I started making a decent wage.

Definitely keep honing your skills and applying around for different jobs, and taking jobs that you can use to “leapfrog” to other, even better jobs.

In Canada, the Ministry of Health pays colleges to teach kids COBOL and JCL. It’s a steady job, pension, good bennies. I know a handful of people who went that route, rather than the riskier private sector.

Once you get into it you’ll wonder how you ever programmed without “divisions”! I mean honestly, just declaring variables anywhere? Who needs that. Give me a nice, defined data division any day 😌

Okay that is getting up in years. I was about there when I started to get more aggressive with the salary I was asking. You could probably start on the developer I -> developer II -> senior developer career path.

Do you look at other jobs much? Do much networking? Talk to other devs about their salary? Even just grabbing a lunch with some workmates from time to time can help get you in the right mindset of recognising your worth.

I went back at 35. It was very much worth it. What are you taking, if you don’t mind me asking?

Yeah I graduated a good while ago - diploma in programming from a technical school which – for anyone who isn’t familiar – offers a sort of pared down education with an emphasis on job placement (credits for doing highly subsidized work in the field). I was always drawn to the humanities, too. Took a stab at anthropology, but maybe the time wasn’t right.

Anyway, even a simple “advanced diploma” in programming nearly killed me (I got a passing “D” in maths that I am very proud of), but now I don’t have any issue finding gainful employment, which is nice. Downside being all the creative humanities stuff that is my real passion is purely for hobbies now. I honestly don’t hate the arrangement.

My partner taught English as a second language, too. She found it rewarding, and met a lot of her now good friends doing that.

Thank you, I was pretty proud of it

My toaster oven’s manual says I have to power it down, clean out the crumb tray, and unplug it after every use or risk starting a fire. After every use. That’s literally what it says. This is what you get when you give the lawyers free rein over the technical writing. It’s insanity.
