  • Especially if you don’t make six figures or more.

    Six figures ain’t the line anymore and hasn’t been for a while. If your household income is $100,000 in a lot of places you’re still living paycheck to paycheck. They ain’t working for those people because there’s no immediate money to be made helping the middle class.

    I’m an American and I haven’t really had this problem. My career trajectory is weird in that I did systems and networks (with lots of automation because I’m lazy), then SRE, and now development.

    I get headhunters calling me weekly. I was able to take a low stress medium pay job for a few years to recharge and moved right back into a faster paced good paying job within weeks of deciding I was ready for it. I don’t know what jobs these folks are applying for but I very rarely see those “10 years experience in 2 year old language” jobs these days. A few years back they were all over the place, though.




  • I loved Inbox. I hate everything that was supposed to replace it. Spark isn’t the worst thing in the world, but it’s not nearly as smart. Shortwave may be ok but my only IOS device isn’t set up to receive email and I haven’t bothered to try it since the Android app is new. Gmail is terrible. Outlook is Outlook.

    Inbox worked in a way that my brain immediately understood and adapted to.
