This is the kind of post that really makes me worried for the future. I’m a full stack dev with 12 years of experience and I’m not entirely sure how I would do our there in the job market if I were to lose my job tomorrow. My boss says I need to get extremely familiar with vibe coding to get the edge if I were to apply around.

As others have mentioned, definitely speak with a recruiter if you haven’t yet. Best of luck to you!

I replied to the OP in an adjacent post but I’ll paste it here as well.

My very first track (1996) Anteros Beat

My personal favorite track (2011) Starbortorium

And my last track that I never got to finish because I got really sick (2012) I’m Not A Bargain

I was never formally trained in music but I absolutely fell in love with everything about it. I ended up writing poetry and lyrics a lot towards the end up my recording journey. I’m hoping to get back into it once my son is a bit older but I’d need to purchase a lot of gear I sold haha.

Thank you for listening. It means the world to me.

It wasn’t my first RPG, but playing through Final Fantasy 6 (3 in the US) in middle school made me fall in love with music.

I ended up asking my parents for a digital piano and acoustic guitar which eventually spiraled into download ModPlug Tracker to sequent music. I didn’t have a powerful computer back then so I’d record one-shot samples from my digital piano and spent a few hours each day trying to create my own music.

I stopped recording around 2012 because I got really sick and music didn’t pay the bills. I’m a father now with a 5 year old son and I’m looking forward to sharing my love of music with him.

If anyone is interested, I can share one of my very early tracks and one of my last recordings to listen to. It’s one of my favorite things to do, sharing the culmination of my work.

What a readability nightmare.

Oh man, I haven’t applied for a new gig in the last 4.5 years so I’m sure the landscape is so much more different and difficult now.

I do have recruiters reaching out to me fairly often on LinkedIn. Is that an option for you? I know devs can be put off by recruiters. What kind of clients or companies have you written code for? I feel like that really boosts my visibility.

I’m in California and one resource I tap into often are the colleges/university job postings for software developers.

Definitely continue working on BE and creating a portfolio project that showcases your BE and DB skills.

Have any questions? I might be able to provide some insight. Good luck out there!

Austin Powers 2 when he fights mini me. I couldn’t breathe it was so dumb and funny.

In Japan it should have been Meta, Apple, Netflix, Google/Alphabet: MANGA.

I use my blinker even when turning into my own driveway and the reason is simple:

The signal isn’t for me. It’s for others to know my intentions.

One major thing that makes driving with others safer is predictability and your blinkers can help with that.

Can you suggest movie you like in this subgenre?

Octopath Traveler II OST by Yasunori Nishiki.

I’m not sure if you were looking only for bands or music with lyrics, but this is probably my favorite video game soundtrack of all time.

American here. If I was at a mall here in the US and heard this kind of bragging I’d roll my eyes, too.

I was once trying to buy some snacks at a market and a person’s card was declined so they started bragging about how much money they had in the bank and that the store was wrong. Everyone just sighed and groaned around her.

I used to attend church with a small following (50-60 members). The pastor seemed very kind at the time and still does some charitable things… But when my grandfather was dying in the hospital, he suggested that suffering brings you closer to God and any kind of hospice or pain-relief was a sin.

The next Sunday I attended, the pastor starting mocking the medical staff during a sermon, basically airing my family business and likened my family to Judas. I walked out and never came back.

Some of my family still attends his church. I saw the pastor a few years ago and extended my hand for a handshake and he walked away.

My mom and I talk about this whole situation sometimes (she attends a different church). “If you hear something at church you don’t agree with, don’t bring it home with you.” That was her way of saying that the pastor is just a person, too. Take what you can from a lesson and apply it for good in your life.

I’m currently working with a team of a few seniors and the rest mid-levels. I’ve helped get a few juniors hired but they’ve buckled under the pressure after 6 months.

They studied development at school and did great with their classwork but perhaps they thought they knew a lot and ended up realizing that they barely scratched the surface.

Though not required to learn deeper aspects of development, having a team, partner or mentor goes a heck of a long way. It’s like learning the piano. You can hit all the right notes but it doesn’t mean you have musicality.

When I went on the first few dates with my now-wife, I did not flirt with her as in try to tease her or do anything overtly sexual.

I honestly think I won her over because how enthusiastic I was about telling stories. She said I was so charming because of how passionate and animated I was while telling her about myself that she could see how confident and content I was.

Prior to meeting her at 35, I had never had a girlfriend and had only ever gone on 2 dates.

I really like this! Getting burnt so bad that you’d blow on something cold like ice out of fear.

In Khmer, there’s a phrase “មិនដឹងខ្យល់” which literally translates to “Doesn’t know wind” as in they’re so dumb they don’t even know what wind is.

I guess it’s kind of like calling someone an air head but from a different angle.
